I read this chapter and found Lucy's reaction exaggerated and unfair to her. I really did not like it, so I decided to rewrite it and make it better. This is the rewritten and improved version.

Alone

Lucy entered the forest in high speed and the voices of the screaming guards slowly disappeared behind her. The only sound that was left was the sound of her horse's hooves on the hard road. After 1 mile (approximately 1,6 kilometers) she slowed down her ride into a comfortable trot and started to really look around.

All that was visible in the growing dark was the closest trees and bushes. The dark made it difficult to see anything and a hopeless feeling started to replace any hope Lucy had had about finding her siblings.

After about a half mile (approximately 0,8 kilometers) she stopped her horse and looked around in the dark.

"PETER!" she cried out with a high voice "SUSAN! EDM..."

Her scream got caught in her throat and she started to cry. After around a minute she bit her bottom lip and cleared her throat.

"Please!" she begged quietly and closed her eyes "Please come back!"

A sudden call made Lucy open her eyes and turn against the sound. Her heart was racing in her chest. If it was excitement or fear, she did not know. She could not discern anything than the trees in the dark.

"Peter?" she answered the call with strong voice.

The horse started to stomp nervously in the ground and shook it's head up and down. Lucy stroke the horse's neck.

"Sch, take it easy!" Lucy said calmly to the horse.

The horse now started to walk backwards, away from something that was not visible in the dark.

"Edmund, if that's you trying to scare me it won't work" Lucy spoke out in the dark and tried her best to calm her horse.

Suddenly a branch broke near them and the horse jumped. The unprepared Lucy screamed and felt how her shoe fell out of the stirrup.

"STOP!" she screamed desperately and pulled the reins to make the horse stop, but she failed.

The horse rose from the ground and poor Lucy could not do anything to stay in the saddle. With one big leap for forward the horse throw Lucy off the back and ran away.

When she hit the ground she lost her breathe and could not breath for a few seconds. She heard the horse's steps disappear.

"Are you alright?" she suddenly heard a male voice talk to her.

Lucy opened her eyes and looked right up in the face of a faun. He had black collar, wore the Narnian armour and in it's left hand he held a torch.

"My queen!" he exclamied shocked when he saw who see was and quickly helped Lucy up "What are you doing her this time of night?"

Lucy coughed to get her breath back before answering with a annoyed tone:

"Trying to do the job you can not fulfil!"

The guard was not sure how to act and put the torch in his right hand.

"Well, we need to get back to the castle so they do not think we lost you too" he said and without asking taking a firm grip around Lucy's wrist.

"I can walk by myself, thank you!" snarled Lucy and pulled back her arm.

She looked irritated on the guard before walking back.

As soon as the castle was in sight Celind appeared with a face of true worry.

"My lady!" she shouted and wrapped her arms around Lucy "I thought I had lost you too!"

Lucy flinched and starred with big eyes at the servant girl in front of her.

"Too?" Lucy said with a truly chocked voice "You mean... The others are not back?!"

Celind looked ashamed in the ground before answering:

"No, my lady. They have yet not returned!"

Lucy felt as if the ground had opened underneath her and she was falling down in a really high speed. Everything was so surreal to her that she refused to believe that she was all alone.

"Search all night if you have to!" Lucy spoke with a high and weird voice "They can not... They have not just disappeared!"

The guards who had come to make sure that their queen were okay looked confused at each other.

"Don't just stand there!" Lucy exclaimed angry "Go and search! Your queen demands you!"

And with those words she walked into the castle with her head held high, even if her mind was burdened with grief.

*My apologize again for taking so long time to write and I hope this version is pleasing to Lucy and all you readers.
