Disclaimer: Nope, I still don't own anything
I float upon a shallow bay
lift me up until the ground gives way
I'm a California castaway
I don't think you wanna fuck with me
don't over kill
this painless thrill
it's bitter still
your pretty pill
you wait until
I know you will
I know you will – Breaking Benjamin "Shallow Bay"
Karina sneaked quietly down to the kitchens. It was late. Too late for her to actually be awake. But she had a sudden craving for meat. Just red meat. All she wanted was a very raw steak to sink her teeth into. She peeked around the corner quickly, a guard stood at attention, although poorly. Karina rolled her eyes, deciding that her cravings were less important than distracting a guard. She turned and slammed right into Caspian's chest.
"Watch yourself, mi amor." Caspian cooed comfortingly. Karina yawned, "Yeah, what are you doing awake?"
Caspian chuckled, "I could say the same thing."
Touché.
Karina linked her arm within Caspian's and the two continued down the darkened hallway. Caspian kissed his wife's hand, "Dearest, is something wrong?"
"Caspian," Karina started, "Now you know I love you, and I think that you love me. We've been together for like six months now and I think we make a super good couple and I think that now's a good time to…"
"Dear, you're rambling."
"Riiiiight, Caspian what I'm trying to say is that-"
"Your Majesties!" a stern voice called. Karina rolled her eyes as Glenstorm clopped down the hallway. Caspian felt his face burn with embarrassment; he wasn't wearing a shirt after all. Well, Glenstorm wasn't either but that's not really the point.
"Sir Glenstorm, what troubles you?"
Suddenly a large gust of wind hit the three companions, Karina stumbled back but Caspian held her upright. Dante snaked his large head in through the castle windows, "Royals, danger approaches swiftly!" he boomed. Karina was sure the whole castle was awake now. The hall echoed with his loud breathing,
"Thee would be wise to heed the dragon's warning, majesties." Glenstorm concurred.
"Send out a scout!" Hera cried, surveying her army. Heat and lava blazed in her vision as all sorts of horrid creatures cheered her. Jadis tapped her staff on the ground, "SILENCE!!"
The creatures fell silent.
"Send out little royals a warning." Jadis sneered to a dwarf dressed in black leather. The dwarf bowed low, "What shall we send Most High?"
Hera plucked a strand of hair from her head, "I have written something, dear sister."
Jadis smiled wickedly as she pulled out her own hair, they placed them onto the note that they had written only moments ago. The dwarf scurried off, the scroll clutched within his meaty claws. He would walk to the ends of the earth to deliver this message. He had to, for his Queen's.
It was daylight when the dwarf reached the former castle of Telmar. He slipped past the guards and into the front gardens. He placed the scroll on the lawn so that someone was bound to notice it. The letter was delivered to the Royal chambers where Caspian was buried under a mound of paperwork. He looked at the parchment, it was sealed strangely; half fire half ice.
"Dear little Royals, open this letter together." Caspian read aloud. He beckoned to a maid to fetch the Kings and Queens. They returned a moment later, Peter looking quite angry.
"What is it Caspian?" he growled, pissed that he had to be torn away from Freya. Caspian motioned to the letter, "It says to open together."
"Coolies." Karina said, leaning on Caspian's large armchair. He slit open the letter only to find two strands of hair, one red as fire and the other as light as clouds. Caspian picked up the red strand, "Odd."
"I don't get it." Edmund said.
"Me neither." Lucy agreed.
Caspian was about to scrape the parchment into the wastebasket but the hair seemed to grip his hand. The strand tightened and thickened. He shook his hand furiously but the strand only constricted further, that is until it transformed into a large red snake.
"OH MY GOD!" Karina screamed. Caspian tried to remain calm; taking the dagger from his belt he slashed the beast from tail to throat. Lucy buried her head in Susan's gown. Its blood spilled upon the parchment as lettering appeared. Peter glanced warily at the paper as Caspian wiped his hand upon his trousers.
"So you figured out our little riddle. Silly little royals, thinking you could beat us! We cannot be beaten, we are immortal! Just dying to see you! I think I'll kill the littlest Queen first! It's about time for a reunion… Silly dears you can't rid yourselves of me so easily. I will reclaim Narnia as mine and my sister's of course. Prepare yourselves. You will lose everything.
The White Witch"
A/N: Hope you liked it. I'm trying to improve my dialouge for Jadis and Hera. I want them both to sound bossy and a little bitchy at the same time. As always, review and tell me what you think!
