Chapter Two

The Lone Islands

Edmund threw Caspian a sword which he caught with grace then followed him to the middle of the ship. Watching Edmund and Caspian duel, was almost like a dance but I would never mention that to either of them. They dodged, metal clanging as they clashed. Sitting by Lucy as they ducked, turned and swiveled. The men commenting in the background on who was going to win. Either King Caspian or King Edmund. Edmund and Caspian were enjoying themselves in their practice when it ended in a draw.

"You've grown stronger my friend." Caspian clasped Edmund's shoulder as the men clapped.

"Seems I have." Edmund smiled coming our way as a sailor handed him something to drink.
"Alright back to work." Drinian shouted. Everyone went back to work. Getting up from my place heading over to Caspian as Edmund started talking to Lucy.

"That was amazing Caspian. Here brought you some water." Handing him the cup. Taking the cup and drinking down half its contents.

"Thank you Audi." I noticed Eustace coming out of the quarters complaining to Edmund and Lucy. "He's awake." We went over to him when he ran right into Caspian.

"I'll have you know as soon as we find civilization I'm contacting the British council and have you all arrested for kidnapping!" Eustace shouted.

"Kidnapping is it? Funny I thought we saved your life?" Caspian confronted him. Folding my arms over my chest watching him give a funny look.

"You held me against my will." He shouted again.

"Ha!" Reep laughed.

"Did I?" Caspian just watched him as he went off on a tyrant.

"In one of the most un hygienic quarters. It's…it's like a zoo down there." He pointed down at the deck.

"He's quite the complainer isn't he?" Reep asked.

"I have never heard someone complain so much in all my life." I whispered to Caspian who nodded.

"He's just warming up." Edmund sighed. Shaking my head still not believing that he is part of my family.

"Land Ho!" someone shouted from the crow's nest.

Caspian ran up to Drinian as we sailed closer towards the island. Lucy and I stood back while the men spoke about what we were to do as we grew closer to drop anchor. "Prepare the long boats!" Tarvos shouted orders.

Grabbing my sword and dagger then going to get into the boat. "I'd prefer you to stay here." Caspian suggested making me look at him.

"If Lucy can go so can I. And what about him?" Pointing to Eustace as he climbed into the boat. "Surely I am better at protecting myself than he is."

"Alright just stay close to me. I don't want anything too happen to you. Peter would kill me if it did." Laughing I climbed in and sat in the front with Reep on the bow then Caspian and Edmund behind me as we rowed towards the eerie silence of the Lone Islands. A shiver ran down my spine as an uneasy feeling ran through me.

"You alright?" Edmund asked. Just nodding as we continued towards our destination.

As we grew closer Reep grew excited. "Onward! The thrill of the unknown lies ahead." Reep got out right as we landed. Lucy was helped out as Caspian helped me out.

"Couldn't it waited till morning?" Eustace whined. Boy is a wimp.

"There is no honor in turning away from adventure lad." Reep explained

"Listen. Where is everyone?" Lucy asked the question that was on my mind as well. We walked up the stairs with me following closely behind Caspian with my hand on my sword.

."Come on Jelly legs." Reep sighed.

"Quite capable of doing it myself." A thud and a groan was heard behind us causing us to look back down at the poor boy. I sort of felt sorry for him. He must have lived a sheltered life.

"And you're certain he's related by blood?" Caspian asked as we continued. Lucy sighed then we continued further on the island.

Looking around it was still and so quiet. Then a loud gong sounded echoing through the island causing everyone to draw their weapons. Pulling my sword out as Caspian stood in front of me with his crossbow loaded and ready to go. This over protection was driving me nuts.

"Reepicheap stay here with Drinian's men and secure the place. We'll head on. If we don't come back by dawn send a party." Caspian instructed.

"Yes your majesty." Reep replied as we continued on.

Further into the island we went listening and watching out for anything and anyone to attack us. Eustace came running from a window saying. "Yeah looks like nobody's in. So think we should head back?" Causing us to look back.

"Do you wanna come here and guard something?" Edmund asked trying to figure how to keep him from being a nuisance.

"Ah yes." He came running over to us. "Good idea cousin. Very um…logical." He watched us as we headed for the door. Caspian sighed going up to him and handing him his short sword. "I've got it…I've got it. Don't worry." We looked back at him sighing shaking my head.

"I feel so much safer with him on look out." I whispered under my breath dripping in sarcasm causing Edmund to snicker a bit.

Going inside looking around it nobody was here just an odd feeling looming around us. Coming upon a book with names and numbers on it. "Who are all these people?" Lucy asked.

"Why have they been crossed off?" Edmund continued. Standing next to Lucy as we looked down at the pages.

"Looks like some kind of fee."

"Slave traders?" Looking up at Caspian who nodded.

"Slave traders." He repeated. Then the bells started going off as we looked up. It was an ambush.

They attacked us as we defended. Dodging attacks, my sword clashing with the enemies. There was so many of them but we had been in worse situations than this. A loud scream echoed through the church coming from the entrance and there was Eustace with the same weapon Caspian had given him held to his throat.

"Unless you want to hear this one squeal like a girl again. I say you should drop your weapons." Ugly said holding him by his hair.

"I'm not a girl," Eustace protested.

"Now!" He demanded. We dropped our weapons as we stared at the man. "Put them in irons!"

Men grabbed us placing restraints on our arms. "Get your hands off me!" Lucy shouted.

Two men grabbed me as I tried to get away from them. "Let me go! Get off!" shouting struggling as hard as I could only to be slapped across the face hard.

"Let's take these three to market." He pointed to Lucy, Eustace and me. "Send those two to the dungeons." Pointing at Caspian and Edmund. "Careful you idiots. Don't damage the goods." Still seeing stars as they dragged us away from Edmund and Caspian.

"Listen to me you insolent fool. I am your king!" Caspian shouted as he struggled. Then one guy hit Edmund in the face.

"You're gonna pay for that." Edmund sneered.

"Actually someone else is going to pay. For all of you." Another man walked in saying. Dragging Lucy, Eustace and I away from them as they were taking Caspian and Edmund somewhere else. Finally the stars cleared I continued to struggle.

"Edmund!" Lucy cried over and over again.

"Caspian!" I shouted.

"Lucy!"

"Audrey!"

We were taken to a room with other prisoners a faun, a dwarf and a few other's I was frightened about what was to happen to us as well as the others. Lucy held my hand and I could feel her shaking as she too was frightened by what was going on. I wanted mum and dad to be here. Then a man came into the room and yelled at us to get up and walk. Going outside as dawn was breaking, lining us up at a wall to shackle us like dogs.

"What's going to happen to us Lucy?" Looking at her.

"I don't know." Then there was a huge commotion coming from the city. A wagon filled with people were being brought to the docks. A man was chasing the wagon screaming his wife's name and a little girl followed behind him. The men stopped him by punching him so he fell to the ground. The wagon stopped at the dock the people were pulled off the wagon and piled into a boat. The boat self-propelled itself out into the middle of the ocean. The sky grew dark and a green mist formed over the water. The mist engulfed the boat and the occupants, as quickly as it came it disappeared along with everyone on it.

A man came over taking Lucy off the shackle placing her on a podium starting a bid on her. They were actually selling her. I couldn't believe it. The bidding went up to 150 and she was sold. Then next was my turn. "Here is a rare gem in someone's pocket. She is quite the beauty." The seller same guy as last night placed his hand on my chin to show me off. I tried to bite him causing everyone to laugh. "And spunky at that."

The bid stated. Going from 200 then up to 400. I was handed over to a fat, ugly, very smelly man who had nasty thoughts written all over his face. It made me physically ill.

"And now for this fine specimen. Who'll kick off the bidding? Come on now he may not look like much. But he's strong." The seller stated.

"He's strong alright. Smells like the rear end of a Minotaur." Someone shouted. That voice sounded familiar smiling as I learned that Drinian and his men were here amongst the crowed. The man holding my arm was starting too lax.

"That is an outrageous lie. I won the school hygiene award two years running!" Eustace shouted. Rolling my eyes at his obliviousness. Here he was being sold into slavery and the only thing he cared about was being insulted.

"Come on someone make a bid."

"I'll take them off your hands. I'll take them all off your hands. For Narnia!" Reep shouted as the Narnian's revealed their identities and attacked. Pulling my arm free running into the crowd so I wouldn't be grabbed by fat man.

Dodging swords when a set of keys came flying in the air. Grabbing them, unlocking my shackles finding a weapon I joined in the fight. Attacking the slave traders when the islanders came to our aid as well. I was about to find Caspian and the others when someone grabbed me. Struggling against them as they dragged me away from the fight.

"Let me go! Caspian!" I shouted. The man looked up to see him and Edmund coming to my aid. Pushing me into Caspian as he tried to make his escape. Strong arms wrapped around me holding me against his strong chest. I never felt safer than I was in his embrace.

"Are you alright?" He asked me. Nodding we went to find the others as Lucy hugged me.

"Audrey. You're safe thank goodness."

Walking through the crowd as they cheered with new found liberation from the slave traders when the man we saw this morning came running up to Caspian and Edmund. Drinian caught him from getting any closer.

"Your majesty! Your majesty!" he called out. "My wife was taken just this morning." A little girl came up to his side.

"It's alright Drinian." Caspian called.

"I beg you take me with you."

"I want to come." The girl said.

"No Gale. Stay with your aunt. I'm a fine sailor. Been on the seas my whole life." He propositioned himself.

"Of course you must." Caspian patted him on the shoulder as we continued to the docks to get back to the ship.

"My king. My king." The man that Caspian said was Lord Burn came to us holding a sword. "This was given to me by your father. I hid it safely in a cave all these years." He explained.

"That's an old Narnian sword." Edmund noticed.

"It's from your Golden Age. There are seven such swords. A gift from Aslan to protect Narnia. Your father entrusted them to us. Here take it. And may it protect you." Holding out the sword to Caspian.

"Thank you my lord. And we shall find your lost citizens." Caspian patted Edmund on the back then continued walking. "Edmund." He handed Edmund the sword. We boarded the boats to take us back to the Dawn Treader.

Once back on deck I let out a sigh of relieve to be on familiar ground. But who knows for how long. Since we are just starting our real search for the other six missing lords. Setting sail as the sun began to set once we were restocked. Watching the scenery I didn't hear someone stand next to me.

"Audrey?" Looking over my shoulder seeing Caspian staring at me with a concerned expression plastered all over his face. "Are you alright?" Taking my face in his hands to examine it. My lip had been split from the slap across the face last night. His thumb ran over the cut. Feeling his hands shake which made me wonder what he was thinking about.

"What's wrong?" His hands traveled down from my face to my neckline. His eyes grew wide with anger and worry. Then they went to my arms pulling up my sleeves. There were bruises from where the irons had been.

"I am so sorry. I shouldn't have put you in danger like that." He apologized.

"Caspian you can't treat me like a fragile glass. I am fine. What is wrong with a few bumps and bruises? That's part of the adventure as Reep says." Taking his hand placing it back on my cheek leaning into the warm sensation. "Thank you for rescuing me." Opening my eyes to look into his. I held so much love for this man.

"Caspian! Audrey! Time for supper!" Lucy called as we walked inside to eat. Once dinner was over Caspian gave up his bed to Lucy and suggested that I should stay with her. I decided to star gaze for a bit in my usual spot on the top of the dragon's head.

"I thought I might find you up here." Looking up seeing it was Edmund. "May I join you?"

"Of course uncle Edmund." I moved over a bit so he could sit next to me. He looked at me then noticed my lip. "What?"

"I wanted to make sure you are okay. I promised Peter that if we were to meet again that I would protect you. But I see Caspian is doing a fine job." Blushing at his statement as his arm came around me in a hug. He reminded me of dad and how much I missed him.

"I miss them. I miss them so much. Time is cruel. Do you think I will ever them again?" I asked him. Hearing him sigh made me look at him.

"I am not sure. Maybe someday we will all be reunited again. Come on it's getting late." He stood up holding out his hand to me. Taking it we went back inside. I entered Caspian's room seeing Lucy sitting on the bed brushing out her long hair as she smiled at me. Patting the spot beside her for me I sat down.

"Turn around." I did as told and she took out my braid and began to brush it. "Your hair is just like your mum's. So beautiful." She said as she brushed it. Bringing back memories from so long ago when mum used to do this when I was just a child.

"Aunt Lucy do my parent's ever talk about me?" I asked.

"All the time. They wish that you could be there to see your brother Samuel grow up. They miss you so much and Liam. Why do you ask?" Turning to face her she looked at me.

"I feel cheated. When everyone was back here three years ago. I thought I finally had my family back. Only to lose you all once again." Feeling the sting of tears I shut my eyes to stop them. Feeling her hand on my face looking at her.

"You never will lose us Audi. We are here." She touched my chest were my heart is. Then took my hand and placed it over hers. "As you and Liam are here. Always forever in our hearts. Come on now let's get some sleep it's late. Good night Audi."

"Night Aunt Lucy." Blowing out the candle laying down on the bed as sleep took me instantly.

Author's Note: Hello sorry for the late update. Had a major case of writers block. But here is the next chapter. I would greatly appreciate a review to this story. No flames just friendly words and advice. Sorry if Audrey seems Mary Sueish but that is how I envision her. Again thanks for reading. Hopefully the next chapter won't take so long.
