-"I..I..um…I'll stay, go on ahead Mr. Beaver, but please be careful, don't let her wand touch you." Veronica said, her mind still racing with thoughts. Mr. Beaver had nodded and left them there for sometime until his head popped down, giving them all a fright.

-"I hope you've all been good, 'cause there's someone here to see you!" Mr. Beaver said excitedly.

-"come on Veronica," Susan said taking her hand the two walking out from the small cave. Veronica noted to herself that Susan was so gentle.

-"Susan you know you would make a great mot-" but didn't finish for she saw the most extraordinary thing ever. "It can't be." She whispered. The breathtaking sight was from no one other than Father Christmas. Lucy not being shy walked up to him with a cheerful smile.

-"Merry Christmas, sir." Father Christmas gave a chuckle, and turned to the others.

-"It certainly is…Since you have arrived." All this was too much for Susan, sure a new magical land and laws of science but this…

-"Look, I've put up with a lot, but this-"

-"We thought you were the witch." Peter said covering up Susan's' attitude. Claire smiled and sat down on the sled.

-"yes, yes. Sorry about that, but in my defense, I've been driving one of these longer than the witch."

Susan came forward, "but I thought there was no Christmas in Narnia" she said in a 'matter-of-fact' tone. Father Christmas looked down with a sorrowful face. "No, not for a very long time."

-"…But the hope you have brought you guys, is finally weakening the Witches power." Veronica said from the sled.

-"but how can you tell?" Susan asked, Veronica bit her lip,

-"Susan, I will tell you in time, right now…it's just a feeling."

-"Indeed!" came Father Christmas dropping a bag filled with God only knows what. "But still, I say you can do with these."

-"Presents!" Lucy said running up to him. Father Christmas handed Lucy a cordial with a dagger "The juice of the Fire-flower, just one drop will cure any injury, and this" he said pointing to the dagger "I hope you will never have to use." Lucy studied the dagger,

-"Thank you sir, I think I could be brave enough."

-"I know you can, but battles are ugly affairs." He turned to the bag and pulled out a quiver of red arrows and a bow. "Susan." Veronica motioned Susan to go, which she did.

-"Trust in this bow, for it will not easily miss." He said as she accepted her gift.

-"But what happened to "Battles are ugly affairs"?" Veronica rolled her eyes

'She had to ruin the moment'

Father Christmas only chuckled and handed her a horn carved with the mouth of a lion,

-"Well, you don't have a problem in making yourself heard. Blow on this horn and help will always come."

-"Thanks" Susan said smiling. This time Father Christmas pulled out a sword.

-"Peter," Veronica sat up straight taking important interest. Peter took the sword and un-sheathed it. It's magnificent blade shining in the sunlight.

-"Thank You, sir." He said in admiration. Father Christmas then turned to Veronica. She got off the sled and walked near him. Father Christmas whispered in her ear.

"Your highness, your gift I have, do you wish to have it now, for it will come to good use in few hours, or shall you wait until Aslan's camp where it will stay."

"I will accept it." Veronica let a huge breath out for if showed them she was who she really was then she would have a lot of explaining to do. He pulled out a wand of gold and silver, engraved where leaves and stars.

-"Your time has come for you to finish what has been started." The others looked at her in confusion,

-" You're right," She said holding onto her wand.

-"These are tools, not toys. Use them well and wisely,…now I must be off, Christmas is almost over and things do pile up when you've been gone a hundred years…" Veronica moved next to Lucy, who had just put her arm around her. "Long live Aslan." They all smiled. "And Merry Christmas!" and with that he the sled took off into the horizon. Susan and Veronica were laughing when,

-"wait, he said Christmas was almost over, you know what that means?" peter said turning to the girls, "No more ice!"

-"The River!" Veronica cried out, they all took off into a run towards the river. They arrived just in time to see it half way frozen.

-"We need to cross! Now!" Peter yelled. Lucy turned to the beavers. "Don't Beavers make dams?"

Mr. beaver shrugged is shoulder "I'm not that fast dear!" Veronica found a way to the bottom and began her descend, leaving Peter arguing with Susan.

-"Send Lucy, Peter!" But peter was still arguing, she gave a groan and yelled "Peter! Send Lucy Now!"

This worked for Lucy was on her way down. As soon as she made it to the bottom she helped Lucy and the others down.

-"There's not much left!" Susan cried out, Peter placed a foot onto the melting ice only for it to givein to the pressure.

-"Maybe I should go first," Mr. Beaver said walking onto the ice.

-"Maybe you should." Peter replied. Mr. Beaver gestured them to follow the path he laid out in the snow.

-"Oh, If mum knew what we were doing!" Susan said once halfway across the river,

-"Ugh, Susan mums not here!" Peter replied annoyed.

-"Oh shut up the both of you!" Veronica said holding on with Susan. "Lucy, get back!" Veronica pulled Lucy back towards, for an icicle landed right in the spot Lucy was at.

-"thanks." Lucy said trying to keep her balance. "Oh no!" They all looked up to see the wolves running across on the top.

-"Run!" peter yelled out.

-"Hurry!" Susan cried. They got half way only to be cut off. Peter pushed the girls behind him. A loud cracking sound was heard only for it to be the ice behind them gave way, so there was no turning back.

Mr. Beaver came up threatening the wolves only to be tackled.

-"NO!" Mrs. Beaver called out along with Lucy. Peter turned to see his companion pinned by the wolf.

-"Peter, your sword!" Veronica cried. Peter didn't need to be told twice for he pulled it out threatening Maugrim with it.

-"Put that down boy, someone could get hurt." He said walking nearer.

-"No Peter don't listen to him!" Veronica yelled.

-"Leave now, while you can, and your brother leaves with you." That did the trick, Peter began to feel uneasy, and the promise of Edmunds safety was now the trap.

-"Stop Peter! Mabey we should listen to him!" Susan said trying to force the sword down, Mr. Beaver yelled out

Maugrim chuckled "Smart girl." They conversation was only a distraction to get closer….

-"Don't listen to him Peter! Narnia needs you! Gut him while you still have the chance!"

-"Oh come on, this isn't your war…"

-"It's my war!" Veronica yelled out

-"All my queen wants is for you to take your family and go!"

-"Yeah, that's why she sent you!" Veronica retorted.

-"Just because some man in a red coat hands you a sword that doesn't make you a hero! Just drop it!!"

-"Susan!" Veronica cried, she was making this worse.

-"what's it going to be Son of Adam, I wont wait forever! And neither will the river!"

Veronica knew this would end terribly; she pulled out her wand and with a wave of it towards the frozen waterfall, it started to crack and groan, with water spilling out.

-"What are you doing!" Peter asked in shock,

-"Icebergs float, logically!" She responded throwing the last part a Susan. Peter down at the ice, of course she was right about that,

-"Hang on to me!" Peter said to the girls.

-"Now!" Veronica yelled, on queue Peter stabbed his sword into the ice. "Good bye Maugrim." Veronica stated bluntly, and with another wave of her wand the Waterfall crashed down on them...
