After an unpleasant ride with the White Witch's ankle in my stomach, we came to a stop.

I noticed that that the snow was melting and the runners of the sleigh were now sliding on slush.

"It's so warm out" Ginabrik said taking offhis coat. The White Witch gave him a glare.

" I'll go cheak the sleigh" h said after he noticed his mistress's stares.

The wolves returned. One of them had a fox in its jaws.

The White Witch questioned the fox but he didn't yield.

"Forgive me your majesties" it spoke.

"Don't waste your time with flattering" she said.

"Not to seem rude but I wasn't talking to you" he said looked at Edmund and me.

Jadis only glared at him. She asked him again but Aslan but he didn't break. She was about to strike him with her wand. Edmund ran in front of her.

"Wait! The beavers said something about the Stone table and about an army there"

"An army?"

The fox sighed. Edmund once again had to open his big mouth.

"Thank you" the Witch said.

"This creature needs to learn some respect. Before he dies!"

"NO!" Edmund and I yell but it was too late. The only fox that was there was the stone fox with a frozen pained expression on his face.

I saw tears in Edmunds eyes and I felt my own eyes water. War was one thing. Killing an innocent animal was another.

I saw the White Witch slap Edmund. Angry tears filled my eyes.

"Just think about who's side your on Edmund" she said while forcefully cupping his chin. "Mine" she turned his head to the now stone fox "Or theirs".

I could take it any more I had to do something. If I was truly the protector of Narnia, I could do something to stop her or at least stall her.I closed my eyes.I pictured it clearly in my head. I wished it.

I heard a yelp. I opened my eyes.

The bottom of the Witch's dress was on fire!

I couldn't help but smile a bit. Edmund grinned.

To my disappointment, she put it out quickly. Remind me to use that not in a life threatening situation. She marched up to me and raise her wand above her head.

"The prophecies of "The Protector" die here. As well as young Autumn Phoenix"

I quickly shut my eyes and waited for the pain.

But none came.

I opened my eyes.

Two huge wings (The size of Maleficent's wings) covered me.

They were a crimson/golden/orange color. Feathery and smooth.

I looked behind me to see my savior but no one was behind me.

The wings were attached to me!

They were mine.

I moved them.

They were as easy to move as my hands.

I removed them from my face.

The White Witch stared at me. Her mouth hung open a tiny bit. Edmund and Ginabrik were the same.

I felt like I had used my wings since I was born.

I looked back at the Witch. "I looks like my destiny doesn't end here".

"I want Edmund. You are to let us go" I commanded.

"I think not. Ginabrik!". The dwarf seized Edmund and he tried to fight back but lost the battle once he had a knife pressed to his throat. "Not so fast" the Witch smiled. "Lets have a deal. I don't kill Edmund right here and you don't run off. Or you leave or try to stop me and the boy will live a short life". I looked at Edmund. In his eyes, he told me to go and save myself but they also said please don't let them kill me. I knew what I had to do. "He wouldn't be much use to you dead now would he?". The Witch looked at me with a hint of surprise in her eyes. "True but I'll do what I have to". I thought. The only weapons that she had was here wand a Ginabriks knife. I didn't see any more in the sled. "I have a proposition. You don't kill Edmund and I don't tell anyone about you. I will claim that your wolves chased me out and not say anything about you building your army,or that you plan to kill Edmund or else all Narnia will parish". I didn't know if these were true or not but my gut says go with it. "I am prepared to bond this using magic but the bond will die in one week. That should be long enough to see who's winning this war". She raised her eyebrows. I've read (In fictional books at home. I'm taking a risk here). "According to the rules, if you do kill Edmund, you lose your life. If I speak to anyone about your plots, I will die and I will also grant you all of my powers".

She thought. Edmund looked at me and gave me the what-are-you-doing? look.

"I accept" she said.

I held out my hand. She shook it. My mind was swimming. Words came to me.

"By the ancient laws of Narnia, I will bestow this promise. It will not fade until time is called. It is irreversible and unchangeable. No power on earth can change it (Sound familiar?)

It was done.

"If I recall, the rules nothing about me harming him. Just that he can't die" she smiled.

"Well the rules said nothing about me not being able to escape"

I shot up into the air before the White Witch could grab me. My wings flapped a steady rhythm.

Power I never knew I had swam through my veins. The knife on Edmund's knife melt and the liquid plopped to the ground. Ginabrik moved his hand quickly so it wouldn't burn. Edmund remained unharmed. He stared up at me. "I will find you" I thought clearly in my mind. He nodded and I zoomed into the sky. Above the clouds. My wings were like extra feet. You needed energy to move them. I needed to find the rest of the Pevensie. I needed to find Aslan. I felt like a map was lodged in my brain. I went left,right. Took turns and spins.

After a while, my wings were getting heavy I had to find something or someone friendly soon. Then up ahead I saw a large camp. Most of the tents were red with the symbol of a golden lion on the flaps. I knew I was in the right place. I landed at little ways from the camp. Then I heard hooves behind me. I spun around. The was a huge centaur. He had curly black hair and a sword at his hip. "Who are you?" he said in a gruff voice. "I'm Autumn Phoenix". I wished my wings away and they were gone. Not the even slightest hint that I had wings showed. "What is it Orieous?" and cheetah said behind the centaur. "Goovier, Inform Aslan that the half-blood has arrived". The spotted cat nodded and raced off. "The Protector has come".
