Elise's POV

After Peter survived the battle with Miraz, Elise could breathe a little easier. But she still worried for his safety as they went into the next battle. Running over to him, she threw herself into his arms.

"Peter, please be careful!" She begged him, tears running down her face. "I lost my parents, I can't lose you too."

"You won't, I promise. But you have to be careful too. It's not just me who's in danger you know!" He said with deep concern in his voice.
"I will be careful! I'm only going to be on the ledge with Susan. You don't have to worry about me."

"But I will anyway." He told her fondly. "Elise – I think – I think I might be falling in love with you." He said quickly.

"Well I think I'm falling in love with you too!" She said with tears running down her cheeks. He pulled her to him and kissed her hard. He ran his tongue along her bottom lip, asking for permission. She opened her mouth and let her tongue dance with his. She pulled away a few moments later, breathless. She kissed him quickly one more time, and ran towards the ledge, with no looking back.

Peter's POV

As Elise ran towards the ledge, Peter watched her with a heavy heart. He knew this day was going to be dangerous, and he didn't want her involved. But it was too late. He turned towards the battle with David and Edmund flanking him, and prayed that Lucy had gotten through.

Fighting side by side, the three of them killed all Telmarines that came at them. But all three of them knew it wouldn't be enough. Turning to glance at Susan and Elise, he gave them the signal. Susan nodded at him and he heard her yell.

"Archers ready!" The arrows flew over their heads a moment later, and Peter watched as about fifty Telmarines fell, dead. As this happened, a rock flew overhead from the launcher. Peter watched with dismay as it hit right at the entrance of the fortress, causing the entrance to crumble, and rock cover the opening. This caused the supports above to fall, bringing Elise down with it. Susan grabbed her hand, stopping Elise's fall, but she slipped and fell, her screams echoing, as her body landed on the rocks below.

"Elise!" Peter shouted as he ran toward the rocks. Edmund and David ran after him, Edmund yelling Danielle's name, as Peter realized with shock that Danielle and Ricky were now trapped inside the fortress. But his mind was numb. He could think of nothing but the fact that Elise was lying on those rocks, her body broken. When he reached her, he saw that she was still breathing, and appeared to have no broken bones. Her face had a trail of blood on it, from a cut, and she was bruised, but she smiled at him gently.

"Don't speak!" he said. "Save your strength." He lifted her gently, and took her to a white tent that they had set up on the side of the battlefield. Leaving her there on a cot was about the hardest thing he had ever done, but he knew he needed to get back. Kissing her gently, he left her in the capable hands of a Narnian nurse.

Edmund's POV

As Edmund saw the fortress opening come crumbling down, his heart stopped. He knew that Danielle was inside that building. He raced towards the building, trying to pull rocks aside.

"Edmund! Stop!" He heard David's voice behind him. But he didn't care. He kept moving rocks, trying to create a path in.

"Edmund, you can't get her out now. You need to wait until the battle is over and then we can!" David finally caught up to him, and tried to pull him away.

"I can't just leave her in there David!" He shouted.

"No, but she's my sister too you know! I love her just as much as you do." David said calmly.

"Love her?" Edmund whirled to face David.

"We'll settle that later. In the meantime, you're needed on the field. We can get to Danielle later."

"But we can't just leaver her! What if she's dying David?" Edmund practically screamed at him. David's shoulders sagged in defeat.

"Okay, fine. We'll try to get to her." David began helping Edmund move the rocks.

Danielle's POV

Danielle shivered inside the fortress. She had been near the entrance when the rocks fell, and she was now trapped under two big rocks. They were on top of her legs and chest, but she didn't think anything was broken. She felt so cold, whereas a few minutes ago she didn't feel cold at all. Trying in vain, she kicked her legs in the air, trying to see if she could manage to get the rocks off his legs. She tried to call for help, but she couldn't. The rock on her chest was blocking her air pipes she guessed, as she couldn't speak and could barely breathe. Settling down to her fate, she tried to relax as she waited.

Susan's POV

As Susan watched Elise fall, her heart seemed to stop. She couldn't believe the fall Elise had taken. As she watched helplessly, Peter arrived on the scene, picking Elise up gently and carrying her off. Susan looked down at David, who glanced up at her with a helpless look in his eyes as he ran towards the entrance that had caved in. Susan sighed with worry and tried to focus on the soldiers running toward them.

Ricky's POV

Ricky was huddled in a corner of the fortress. He had managed to stay away from the collapsing rock at the entrance to the cave, but he wasn't sure what had happened to Danielle.

"Dani!" He yelled. "Dani!" When he heard no answer, he tried to crawl through a narrow hole in the debris. He couldn't fit, so he began walking up and down trying to find a hole. Finally, he found an opening in the rubble, and he crawled through. When he got to the other side, he found a narrow walkway between the rocks, and he could see Danielle's green dress. Going as fast as he could, he yelled as he went.

"Dani! DANI!" He practically screamed it, tears racing down his face. Finally he reached her, and when he saw that she was awake and smiling at him, he breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness you're okay! You scared me!" He cried as he laid on her, hugging her slim shoulders.

"It's okay baby, I'm okay." Danielle crooned to him. "Shhh."

Once Ricky calmed down, he tried his best to pull the rocks off of Danielle, but he couldn't. So he tried to content himself with sitting down next to her, holding her head in his lap as he waited with her in the darkness.

Lucy's POV

Completely unaware of what was going on back at the fortress, Lucy rode through the forests. After Susan left her, she had kept going through, making her way towards the place where they had been transported to. The trees were absolutely silent, something that was tough for Lucy to see. When she had first come, after they freed Narnia from the White witch, the trees had talked, communicated and been beautiful. But now, the silence was nerve-wracking. She glanced around her, and froze when she saw a soldier riding behind her. She kicked the horse in it's side and sped up. Racing as fast as she could, she glanced behind her and saw that the soldier was still following her. She kept going, and sighed with relief and fright when she saw Aslan in front of her. Coming up beside him, she stopped the horse and watched as Aslan uttered an earth-shattering roar and jumped on the soldier, killing him instantly. Lucy closed her eyes and turned away from the scene as Aslan came back. She ran to him, throwing her arms around his neck.

"Aslan!" She cried happily. Aslan chuckled deeply. Without a word, they began to head back to the battlefield.
