Elise's POV

Elise rode quickly to the castle. She was dressed in a baggy gown that she had found in the fortress. It was torn, dirty and looked like it belonged to a servant. She arrived at the castle doors, and knocked. It felt silly to her, knocking on big wooden doors. A servant opened the door, and soldiers were behind him.

"May I help you?" The servant's voice had a cool air, as if he knew she wasn't wealthy or important.

"Yes, I would like to speak to Lord Miraz." Elise said, trying to appear poor.

"Very well, I will see if he will receive you." The servant led her into the main courtyard and disappeared. Ten minutes later he returned.

"You may follow me." He led her through halls and down passageways, and for one brief moment, Elise feared that she was going to be arrested. Everywhere they went, she made mental notes for Peter.

"Here you are Miss. You must go right through those doors, and into the hall." He bowed and departed, his footsteps retreating down the hallway.

Elise headed into the hall, and taking a deep breath, opened the door. She saw a scary looking man sitting on a large throne. He had a book in his hands, as if he was reading, but his black eyes stared at her piercingly.

"What is your name?" He said with an air of regality.

"Elise Mayline." She said quietly.

"And what is your purpose here?" He said with some amusement.

"I would like to, well that is I would like a job sir." She came up with a good excuse for snooping rather quickly.

"A job eh? Well Elise, if nothing else you certainly have beauty." He got up from his chair and walked over to her. Elise shrank back a bit, frightened. He came closer, suddenly grabbing her and kissing her roughly. Fighting him with no success, Miraz shoved his tongue into Elise's mouth. She felt completely used and horrible as Elise finally managed to wrench away from him.

"You horrible man!" Elise ran through the doors and out the hall entrance, passed the started servant who had greeted her and to her horse. Galloping as fast as she could, she reached the fortress in no time and dismounted, running inside and straight into Peter's arms.

"Elise!" Peter said with some shock in his voice. "What are you doing back so soon? And for heaven's sakes what's wrong?"

"I went in to see Miraz," Elise panted, "and he kissed me! I tried to stop him, but he was too strong, and I felt so violated Peter!" She clung to him as tears raced down her cheeks.

"I hate to ask when you are in distress, but did you find anything out?" Peter held her at arms length.

"Yes. The courtyard is huge, guarded by many soldiers. They all seem to be archers, and there could be more. You get into the castle by a drawbridge, then a gate. This is where our armies could come in." Elise picked up a stick and drew diagrams in the dirt. "We would enter here," She pointed to an area on her map, "then Edmund or David could be up here waiting to give the signal." She pointed to a tower.

"Great work Elise!" Peter laughed. "This is just what I needed." He pulled her to him again. "I'm sorry about that scoundrel though, he took something from you that you should never have had to sacrifice." He cradled her and soothed her with comforting words as she calmed down.

"Peter…" Elise's voice trailed off as he held her.

"Yes?" Peter glanced down at her.

"That was my first kiss." Elise started to cry again. Suddenly Peter knew exactly what to do. Bending down, he met her lips in a soft kiss.

Susan's POV

David and Susan were trying to work. They were getting distracted by each other a lot however.

"David? Do you have the sword pile somewhere?" Susan asked David. They had been assigned to the weapon work. They had found a bunch of rusty swords and such from a battlefield nearby, and they had ridden back to Cair Paravel and found all their old weapons. Now they were working on getting everything back into shape.

"Yeah, the sword pile is over by that tree," David pointed. Susan ran over and placed the three sharp swords in the pile and went to work on a bow that had a broken string.

"So, how are you doing?" Susan wasn't sure how to broach the subject of David's parents.

"I'm doing okay. I just keep double checking to make sure they're actually gone, because sometimes it feels like they aren't really gone and it's all a dream." David seemed to have opened up to Susan in the last few days, and she was glad for that.

Danielle's POV

If it was possible to be in love after only knowing someone for a few days and only being sixteen, Danielle was sure she was in love. She and Edmund strolled through the woods holding hands in the afternoon sunshine. They were supposed to be working, but they excused it by saying that they were taking a break. Danielle had never been happier.
