Chapter 26

Sophie

My back hit against the tree as I ducked the next attack. I did get caught but I've somehow managed to kill the other two soldiers awhile back. I ducked again to the ground and raised my sword to block his attack. I could feel myself getting tired and sweatier by the minute.

I've managed to knock the sword out of his hands before I got off from the ground and started to run when I felt something sharp go across my leg. I knelt down and saw my right leg with a big cut on my leg and it started to bleed.

"Shit" I said through gritted teeth as I tried to stop the bleeding while I was running.

I saw that some of the blood was running down my leg as I made it across the creek that was nearby. I sheathed my sword as I kept putting water on the cut to make it stop bleeding. I looked around and jumped to the other side before I continued to run.

I came across a huge field and I saw two big rocks and a whole set of rocks. I ran there while holding on to my leg. I hid behind the big rocks and closed my eyes. I was trying to catch my breath as I ripped a piece of fabric from the bottom of my dress to tie up the cut.

I looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was in a different direction. Any minute it would get dark and I would be here by myself with no one to keep me company or sane.

This feels so messed up. I knew I was going to get screwed over this but I would never think it would get this bad. I peeked out from behind the rock and saw that there was nobody around. I grasped on to my sword tight that my knuckles were getting white. I took a step forward as I heard something behind me. I spun around and saw nothing there.

I wonder….

It was starting to get a bit dark as I sat in my spot. I could feel shivers going down my back but it wasn't cold. My eyes felt droopy since I've been on the go. Maybe this would thing was a bad idea. I thought I would help them out but I think actually going with the plan wasn't the brightest idea.

I looked around as I was trying to keep guard. Maybe the man gave up and decided to head back to where he came from.

Then a thought came to me. If he was going back, then that means he might run into the others. I know it would be four against one but still. I couldn't help but worry.

I need to keep going though. I know this sounds crazy but I don't want to let anyone here down and I would risk a limb for anyone if something happened to them. I had no idea where this sudden feeling of protectiveness came from but this is something I have to do.

I looked around before I took off through the groves. I came across a huge field and I just kept on walking. I kept an eye out just in case. You never know what could happen.

I made it down a small hill when I heard footsteps. I spun around and saw no one behind me. Just when I was about to go back on focusing my task, I stood there in shock as I saw the man from earlier attacking me. I took out my sword and blocked his attack.

We continued to fight until I managed to knock out his sword. I started to run but I felt his arm grab mine fiercely and I was pulled back. My sword flew out of my hand and I tried to reach for it when I was tossed to the ground but I was too far away from it.

"You think you can escape from me?" he asked menacingly.

I looked up and I saw pure evil in his eyes. "What do you want from me?" I asked.

"For a hundred years, Rabadash's vengeance will be carried out for what those Narnians did to him" he said.

I had no idea what he was talking about. If it had to do with them, then why did I get involved? Actually, how I got involved was a very good question.

"Now" he said, kneeling down next to me as he took a hold of my right ankle. "I think we should take you back where you belong."

"Like I would go with you" I seethed.

He pulled me up and held me against him. I struggled to get out of his grasp when I saw something that he was pulling out of his pocket. My eyes went wide as I saw the knife. Flashbacks of my nightmare were going through my head as my breathing picked up.

"No, no, no" I whimpered. "Go away, go away."

"I don't think so" he said.

I saw that he lifted the knife and I screamed as loud as I could. I kicked him and tried everything to get away from the knife but I knew it was hopeless. I saw the knife coming closer and closer.

"SOMEONE HELP ME!" I screamed.

"Unhand her!" a voice cried out. We spun around and my eyes widen when I saw Edmund standing in front of us, sword in hand.

"Ed" I breathed out.

"Well, well, if it isn't King Edmund" he said.

"Let her go" he seethed.

"Now why would I do that?"

I stared at him in shock as Edmund stepped a bit closer to us and the knife was almost inches from me. I looked over and saw my sword lying on the ground. Why did it have to be so far away? I looked over at Edmund and he had a scared but determined look on his face.

Come on Sophie think, think. What would you do in a situation like this?

I didn't know what happened next but I was tossed on to the ground, hiding the pained expression on my face as my forehead hit the small rock nearby. I looked up and I saw them both dueling with one another. I saw my sword in front of me and I crawled over quickly to retrieve it. Once I got it, I slowly stood up and watched them for awhile before I made my way over there.

I saw Edmund fighting him as hard as he could. I couldn't stand there and watch. I lunged for them and managed to knock the sword out of the man's hand and he looked at me in shock along with Edmund.

"Next time, I won't miss bitch" I said coldly.

I was breathing hard as I tried to focus on him. I saw Edmund making his way over towards me and lowered my sword.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Sophie, you're hurt" he said.

"I know that but…"

We heard a cry and Edmund looked up to see the man charging towards us. I dropped my sword as Edmund got his sword out and stood in front of me.

"Hold it right there!"

I looked up and saw the others riding over towards us along with a few people I don't recognize. I started to get nervous but Edmund sheathed his sword and held on to me as we hugged.

"I'm just glad you're alright" he said.

"How in the hell did you find me?" I asked.

"Lucy sent a griffin with a message saying you were in trouble and I went riding towards the how until I heard you scream" he replied. He took a step back and looked at me as I tried to stand on my feet. He could see how exhausted and tired I was along with the sweat coming down from my face and my hair was a mess that's for sure.

"Sophie, what happened?" Susan asked, coming towards us.

"I think you know get the idea on what happened" I replied. "Let's just say things got a bit out of hand back at the how."

"I see that" she said. "Come on we better see what's going on. We also got to get you cleaned up."

I nodded as I started to follow but I felt the pain in my head from where I hit my head. It wasn't a headache that's for sure but it wouldn't go away.

I started to feel a bit light headed as we were walking back to the others. I stopped short when the pain in my head started to get worse. I put my hand on my forehand and my fingers felt something sticky on the left side of my forehand. I pulled it away only to notice blood on them.

That can't be good.

"Are you alright?" Susan asked me, making Edmund stopping short in his place. He stared at me and then his eyes went wide when he saw the blood on my fingers.

"I don't know. I'm feeling just I don't know, fuzzy" I replied.

Just after I said that, my knees gave away and I collapsed. The last thing I heard was Edmund crying out my name before the world around me went black.

A/n: So there you have it. Everything will be explained in the next chapter and Aslan will make his appearance. The main question now is, is Sophie going back to earth or staying in Narnia? That is the question which will be answered soon.

I'm so super sorry I didn't update last week. Real life is getting in the way, writer's block and I had to work on the stupid computer science take home quiz which took forever to work on and I got two stories that are wrapping up soon so yeah I've been distracted.

Thanks to Slayergirl who became my 50th reviewer! She also gave me a perspective but interesting point on Prince Rabadash and I'm in the middle of the third book so I understand the story more.

You guys know what to do! You guys rock and I thank you guys for your patience and support!
