Disclaimer: Nope. Not mine.

A/N: This one is shorter than the last one. I found out that I have more words but my chapters seem to correspond… I guess I really want the same amount of chapters… Weird… But whatever. Here's the next part. Review if you want.

All five ran back to the Beavers' dam in a frenzy. They burst into the room and Mr. Beaver yelled, "Hurry Mother! They're after us!"

"Oh! Right then!" she shouted, sort of flustered but then Mrs. Beaver began packing for their journey.

"What's she doing?" Peter asked.

"You'll be thanking me later. Beaver gets pretty cranky when he's hungry," she told them.

"I'm cranky now!" Mr. Beaver yelled.

"Do you think we'll need jam?" Susan asked.

"Oh yeah!" Kaylee said sarcastically. "I'm sure the Witch loves to serve toast in prison! And possibly on death row! By all means pack the jam!" Susan glared at her as if she were the devil. The barking of the Witch's wolves came closer and they all ran into a tunnel Mr. Beaver and is friend, Badger, had built.

Mrs. Beaver obviously outraged by being lied to said, "You told me it led to your mum's!"

Mr. Beaver was in front followed by Peter, Lucy, Mrs. Beaver, Susan, and then Kaylee bringing up the rear. Suddenly it got very quiet and the barking could be heard inside the tunnel and gaining on them. The earth began to rumble and a cave-in cut Kaylee off from everyone else.

"KAYLEE!" Lucy yelled. Peter let go of Lucy's hand and ran over to the wall of rock.

Moving some rock and dirt away he called, "Kaylee? Kaylee, are you all right?"

"Yes! Yes I'm fine!" she called back coughing slightly. "Peter, wolves are getting closer! You have to get out!"

"But I can't just leave you!" he argued.

"Yes you can, and you will! I'll be fine! Go! Now! Keep your family safe! Keep Lucy safe!" Peter hesitated for a moment while thinking, You are my family, but agreed and ran like she told him to. As they all emerged from the tunnel they heard a terrified scream come from inside and guilt crept up inside Peter. He hadn't even said he was sorry for holding that grudge so long. And he hadn't said anything to Edmund either! He was so mean to the younger boy. They could both die. The realization cut deep into his soul and his heart was nearly torn in two. He couldn't lose them. Either of them. And especially not them both.

~CON~CON~CON~

Telling Peter to leave her was the hardest thing she had to do in a long time. As the wolves got closer she began going through all the things she wanted to do in her life but didn't get the chance to. Telling Peter how she really felt was at the top of the list, and apologizing to her mum for her behavior before she left. However she couldn't finish her thoughts because the dogs had reached her. She let out a terrified scream as the wolves pinned her down. "Come with us willingly or die trying to get away."

Kaylee didn't want to die so soon so she agreed and followed the wolf to the castle she had seen only minutes before. As she walked away, the wolves had gotten through the wall of fallen in rock and raced after the others. I really hope I did the right thing telling them to leave, she thought.

They reached the entrance and the wolf asked where the Queen was. Someone said she was down in the dungeon talking to a prisoner. Edmund! She thought. I hope she hasn't hurt him.

~CON~CON~CON~

"…tore that dam apart. You're little family were nowhere to be found." A woman's icy voice cut through the stillness in the dungeon.

"If I may, your majesty," the wolf interrupted, "we have but one prisoner caught."

An evil smile crept across her once beautiful features and she said, "Bring them here." Kaylee entered the room and looked across at a terrified Edmund. She gave him a look that said not to say anything. The Witch looked at Kaylee and said, "What is your name Daughter of Eve?" Kaylee didn't answer. "I asked you your name. Answer!"

"Please answer her!" Edmund yelled.

"Silence!" the Witch yelled at Edmund. "Answer my question!"

Kaylee defiantly remained silent and the Witch slapped her. Edmund gasped as he saw her holding cheek and slid to the floor.

"I suggest you answer my question," the cruel woman repeated.

Edmund looked at Kaylee, obviously terrified, and, not wanting her to get hurt anymore, said, "Kaylee. Her name's Kaylee."

"Shut up, Edmund!" Kaylee yelled.

The Witch smiled ignoring Kaylee's plea for Edmund to be quiet. "Good. Now where are the rest of humans headed?"

Kaylee glared at her but said nothing. "Well, I guess you're of no further use to me," she said raising her staff.

"Wait! No, don't!" Edmund yelled petrified at what the Witch would do to her. "The Beavers said something about Aslan."

"Aslan?" she questioned, seeming almost scared by the news. "Where? Where is Aslan?"

"They are strangers here Your Majesty. They can't be expected to know anything." This was a new voice but he was cut off by a smack to the cheek. Kaylee gasped.

Edmund stuttered to answer. "I-I don't know. I wanted to see you!"

"Release the faun!" the Witch ordered. "Do you know why you're here, Faun?" she asked him.

"Because I believe in a free Narnia," he answered smartly.

"You're here because he," she pointed to Edmund, "turned you in, for sweeties." Kaylee looked over at Edmund with disgust. She gave him a look that said, "How could you?" Edmund tried to look apologetic but didn't quite succeed. "Take him and Miss Kaylee upstairs," she sneered. "And ready my sleigh. Edmund and Kaylee miss their family."

~CON~CON~CON~

The ogre had dragged her and who she now knew as Mr. Tumnus out of the dungeon. The Witch and her little dwarf minion followed until she told him to retrieve Edmund. He brought them to a courtyard with a large number of stone statues. "Here is fine," the Witch told him. He dropped Tumnus and took Kaylee off to the side. "Now, Daughter of Eve, pay attention. This is what will happen if you cross me more than you already have…if I don't feed you to my wolves first." She them turned and stabbed the faun with her saber. He immediately turned to stone.

Kaylee gasped. That's what happened to all of the creatures in here! She killed them all! And she was going to kill all of them! Edmund! Oh, Edmund. He didn't know what was going to happen to them! "You-you killed them all! You murderer!" Kaylee was slapped again. This time the Witch's ring left a deep cut on the side of her face. As Kaylee lifted a hand to wipe the blood away the Witch said, "Do not disrespect me like that again, you will be sorry. I may just kill your brother." My brother? Oh, my God. She thinks I'm part of the prophecy! What do I do? Tell her? No. She'll kill me then for sure.

Jadis walked slowly around her and said, "To be sure this does not happen again, you will have to be punished." And she murmured words Kaylee couldn't understand nor make out, but she knew they had to be some sort of spell because moments later, pain exploded through all parts of her body. She let out an ear piercing scream of agony. It was like nothing she had ever felt before. Her very soul felt as if it was on fire and there was nothing she could do to put it out. She didn't even realize she had dropped to her knees until the pain relented. She was clutching her stomach with both of her hands, eyes shut tight and she was breathing heavily. "Do I make myself plain?" the Witch asked her.

"Yes, your Highness," she managed to sputter out. As she tried to dull the memory of what had just happened, the Witch's sleigh was pulled up. "Get in," Jadis ordered.

Kaylee did as she was told and calmed herself. She had to brave for Edmund. He didn't need to know the gravity of the situation yet. He was still a little boy. At least he was compared to her he was. She put on what she hoped was a neutral expression and waited for Edmund to be brought up.

~CON~CON~CON~

Edmund approached the sleigh and the Witch told him to get in. As he sat down he caught a glance at Kaylee. She had a bleeding cut across her cheek and Edmund didn't want to know what had happened. But he couldn't help but feel responsible. He had led them to her. He had gotten her kidnapped. And now she was paying the price for his foolishness. He looked over and asked, "Are you okay?"

Kaylee glanced at Edmund's eyes and could see the fear and guilt lingering in them. "Yeah. I'm fine."

"I heard you screaming," he said worried. "It sounded like you were in pain."

"I'm fine," she repeated. He was about to say something else but Kaylee, figuring out what he was going to say, promptly cut him off. "Do not blame yourself, Edmund. I shouted at her. You didn't. This isn't your fault. Please don't feel guilty." He nodded but she could tell he didn't believe her. She put a hand on his to reassure him and gave him a small smile. All the while the conversation had escaped the Witch's ears and she did not hear a word spoken beneath her feet.

~CON~CON~CON~

The Witch had left Kaylee alone in her sleigh and had taken Edmund with her. Seizing her chance with no guards around, she ran. She ran hard and fast but wasn't fast enough to outrun the wolves. She felt one of them pounce on her back and she slammed, hard onto the dirt. She could taste the salty blood that ran over her tongue from biting her cheek and she spit it out onto the ground. "Go retrieve the queen." Another wolf ran away barking wildly and all Kaylee could do was wait. Wait to die… Wait to live… Wait for a punishment…

A few yards away Edmund had witness the Witch kill a fox and had heard a scream. He turned and thought, Kaylee! Peter'll kill me if she gets hurt. He turned to find a wolf dashing madly up to the Witch.

"She tried to run away, Your Grace," one of the dogs told her. "We captured her before she could get very far."

"Lead me," the Witch ordered. She grabbed Edmund by the collar of his shirt and dragged him along with her. They came upon Kaylee face down in the grass with a wolf's paw on her back.

"You insolent girl!" the Witch spat throwing Edmund to the ground beside her. He grunted and the wolf allowed the girl he was guarding to roll over. "Did I not make myself clear before?" Kaylee stared defiantly up at her and the Witch shook her head. "You know the punishment." This time Kaylee braced herself for the pain she thought was coming, but the Witch's cold eyes traveled to Edmund beside her.

"No," Kaylee said scrambling to stand in front of him. "No, please. Do whatever you want to me. Just…please don't hurt him." That she couldn't handle.

She lowered her staff and raised her eyebrows. "You would protect a traitor? You would take the pain of a boy who turned you in, who caused you the most grief?"

"Yes," Kaylee answered and the Witch chuckled.

"Love," she whispered. "What a useless emotion. All it does is cause more pain." She shoved Kaylee out of her way and stood tall and frightening over Edmund cowering beneath her.

"No!" Kaylee shouted, but it was no use. Edmund let out a paralyzing scream. Kaylee watched in horror as the Witch smiled in a sick satisfaction. Kaylee crawled over to the thrashing Edmund, tears streaming down her face, and begged the Witch to stop. Finally, his screams subsided and Kaylee cradled him in her arms as he cried. "Shh," she cooed stroking his hair, his hands trying to grab hold of her arms. "Shh, it's all right." The Witch gave them no time and ordered them back into her sleigh. Kaylee had to support Edmund, but it wasn't long before they were on the move again.

A/N: Okay, so I know I changed some things in this chapter and deviated from cannon. The Witch never really hurts Edmund but I had to, ya know? It's a good bonding and angst thing. Whatever. Review if you want to.
