Sorry for the long update...hopefully it's worth the wait! Disclaimer~ I don't own Narnia for Pete's sake! Enjoy!

The crew waited for about an hour, and the girls grew anticipated. Almost every 20 minutes that went by, Susan would yell to Roy in the crews nest, "Do you see them?"

He would say no every time. After the hour, Susan got her bow and arrows. She got Lucy and Louise behind her plan to go and get them. Susan lowered a boat without the crew knowing. She looked back behind her like she was doing it secretly, for which she was.

She pulled beside her Kale and Marianna, two people she could trust. She whispered to them, "I think they might be in trouble. Louise, Lucy, and I are going to go see them."

Marianna and Kale looked at one another and then back at Susan. Marianna spoke first, "So why did you want to tell us?"

"Because I need you two to cover for the three of us. If anyone asks we're in Caspian's and my room. We don't want the crew panicking about all of their monarchs on a strange island."

Kale then tossed Susan her horn. "Caspian knew this might happen. So he kept me in what you would call the "loop","

Susan smiled at him as she grabbed the horn in the air. Then Marianna and Kale didn't say a word, and the three girls jumped into the water. They got into the boat and rowed off as fast as they could.

Peter woke up with a woozy feeling in his head and stomach. He took notice that he was in a cage made of bamboo tied off with rope. He rubbed his head and noticed he wasn't the only one in the cell, but Caspian and Frederick were with him.

He shook the unconscious Caspian until his eyes slowly opened. Caspian groaned and sat up. "I feel like I was dragged and beaten."

Peter looked at all of the strange looking tan people and whispered, "I think we were."

A bunch of tanned skinned men with piercings and paintings on their half-naked bodies, stared at the three locked in the cage, like they were from native land. Caspian found it strange for them to be not fully dressed. He reached for his sword and noticed it was out of his belt. Then he noticed that all of the weapons everyone had were in a different tent.

Edmund woke up to an already conscious Markell in a cage the same as Peter, Caspian, and Frederick. He rubbed his head and walked up to an angry looking Markell. He had his fists clenched onto the bamboo bars. Edmund stood beside him. "So it seems like we have a problem."

"Thanks for pointing out the obvious Edmund." Markell said sarcastically.

Edmund noticed one man with a big obnoxious head dress and a young Indian with dark black hair walking next to him. Edmund whispered, "I think that's the leader."

Markell didn't take his eyes off this strange looking man. The young woman walking with him looked like his daughter. The girl looked at Markell and took notice of her staring. When she looked at Markell, he moved his gaze to something else. His eyes moved all around trying to find a trace of the other three. He couldn't find them.

Susan, Louise, and Lucy saw the men's boat and moved their boat next to the men's. Susan took out an arrow and nocked it into her bow. She paced herself into a jog with Louise and Lucy trailing behind. They got into the hot humid jungle and were swift in their movements.

Louise stepped on something and jumped back. She bent down and picked it up. It was a dart. She held it in the air for Susan and Lucy to see. The two walked up to the dart and looked at it closely.

Lucy held it in her hand. "It's a poisoned dart. It renders its victims' unconscious."

Louise and Susan looked at one another hesitantly, and Louise whispered, "Did any of the men bring them?"

Susan and Lucy shook their heads slowly. Susan looked at the ground. "Whoever it was left a trail, and a nice one at that…..they went this way. Be quiet."

The two girls followed Susan, who knew where she was going. They got into a muddy area. Susan noticed that the trail she was following belonged to people who were bare foot. The girls got to an area to stop and take a breath, they were hot and dehydrated.

Lucy walked a little further, while Louise and Susan sat down on fallen down trees. Lucy saw a guards standing near an entrance looking totem pole. Susan came from behind her and covered her mouth.

Lucy almost screamed at first but whipped her head around to see her sister. She sighed of relief when Susan let go and put her forefinger to her lips to gesture be quiet. Lucy nodded once, and they watched the mysterious people walk and guard this entrance.

They walked back to Louise, who was rubbing her sore feet and belly. Susan walked to Louise and whispered, "You need to go back to the ship. It was a mistake to bring you here. You're pregnant, and I don't want you to get hurt."

Louise pulled her eyebrows together. "Did you see something?"

"Native Americans like in our textbooks when the Americans fought them….they look just like it. Only a little more intimidating."

Louise got up and walked to the spot where Susan and Lucy were before. She whispered, "Well we have to sneak in somehow."

Lucy heard a bird chirping a pretty tune and flew towards the entrance. The guard threw a spear at it, and its tune ended. It fell dead. Lucy grasped onto Susan's arm in a scared way. Susan whispered, "It looks like it won't be that easy."

Susan looked at her little sister, who was still staring at the guard. He was now picking up his prize. Susan whispered down at her, "I need you to be brave."

"Of course. When am I not?"

Susan pointed to a section further down the jungle, but it was still in sight of the entrance. Susan whispered, "I need you both to go down there. I'm going to shoot the guard."

One of the guards let a confused dazed Caspian out of his cell. Peter watched him go out, and he looked pale and sick. Caspian felt sick, it was the aftereffects from the darts. Caspian felt his stomach churn and sweat form on his face and back. The guard tied his hands with the same scratchy rope used to hold the jail cell together.

They walked him forward then kicked him to his knees. He felt like he was going to be sick right there. They held Caspian's own sword. The chief said in Caspian's native tongue, Telemarine. (Which I will translate it to English for you.)

"You are not from here are you?"

"No. We come from our country Narnia. I am King Caspian X."

The only thing Peter and the now woken up Frederick got from that was Narnia and Caspian. Everything else sounded foreign.

The leader looked at Caspian strangely and said again in Telemarine, "Oh yes, you were King Caspian's son. He named you after him. He used to come here and care for us. Until your horrible uncle changed that. Suddenly, we never got anything. Now we live like savages."

"I'm sorry to hear that. Just please let me and my friends go….please."

"Well I would love to King Caspian, but apparently we live like savages….so we'll treat you like ones."

They guard walked behind Caspian with his own sword. He held it above his head. Peter and Frederick screamed, "No! Stop! Please! We've done nothing!"

Caspian knew nothing could be done to stop this. And he said in Telemarine, "Aslan forgive me for all I've done wrong and let Susan and our child know I love them dearly. Keep them safe."

The chief stood up and yelled in Telemarine, "Stop!" Everyone looked strangely at him even Caspian, who had a bad feeling in his stomach.

Suddenly, a guard ran up to the chief and whispered in his ear. Then the chief said in Telemarine again, "Everyone bring your spears! We are under attack!" Everyone left, making the place seem abandoned. It left all of the men in shock. Little did the people know the attack was of only one person.

Susan stood on the complete opposite end of the entrance of Louise and Lucy. She breathed in deeply. She aimed right at the heart of the guard. She noticed another guard standing near him.

She breathed out and made a happy memory dance through her mind. The night of her wedding. She smiled and then turned serious. She released and, the arrow hit the guard right where she wanted it to go.

She watched him drop dead, and then she took off like a wildfire. She got a head start; she heard no footsteps behind her. She thought, "Just tell the leader and hopefully everyone chases me."

Lucy and Louise watched the arrow fly. Then they saw the guard next to him go into shock and run back into his camp. Then, they saw almost every man and woman run out with weapons.

Once they thought everyone was out, they ran in. It seemed like the camp was deserted. Lucy and Louise walked around hesitantly just in case. Lucy found a pale Caspian with hands tied and on his knees.

Lucy ran up to him and cut his hands with her dagger. She hugged him, and he picked her up like a daughter. He put her back down and asked, "Where's Susan?"

Louise was releasing Peter and Frederick and said loud enough for him to hear, "That's a question we'd all like to know the answer to."

Peter and Frederick came out the cages instantly both looking just as sickly pale as Caspian. Louise hugged Peter, and Frederick went to Lucy's side. Lucy said, "We find Ed and Markell. Then we go for Susan."

Caspian raised an eyebrow. "How did you get the entire camp to leave? They said they were under attack."

Peter said, "At least you could understand them. All I got were names."

Lucy bit her bottom lip. "Susan sacrificed herself. She shot an arrow at a guard and ran for it. They thought it was a serious attack, just as Susan thought they would. So they all went."

Caspian's eyes popped, and he felt like he was kicked in the stomach. "You guys look for Ed and Markell. I'm going to find Susan."

Susan was running as fast as her legs could take her. She ran to a hill that dropped at a steep angle. She tumbled and fell. She did somersaults on the way down. She was panicking that she might hit her head on the way down and become unconscious. Then the people would get her. Luckily, she made it out with only a few scrapes and bruises.

She heard Indian cries from behind her, and she became scared. She kept running, even though her legs screamed for a break. Even though her lungs were becoming harder to fill with air. She continued her journey through the never ending jungle.

She got to an end of the island. It was a cliff that lead to the ocean. She had one of two options jump or get killed. She heard a "psst!"

She turned her head to the noise, and it was a Native American girl. Susan held her bow pointed directly at her. The girl held her hands up in defense and walked closer.

The girl said with a thick Telemarine accent (A lot thicker than Caspian's), "I help." Susan lowered her bow and heard yelling get louder.

The girl said, "I hide…you." And she pointed at Susan. Susan didn't have any time to trust this girl or not. She knew this would be better than jumping from a cliff.

Susan followed the strange girl to caves that hid the two of them. Susan said slowly with hand gestures to allow the girl to understand, "My name is Susan."

Susan held out her hand for the girl to shake it. She stared at it like it was strange and said, "Name, Songbird."

Susan smiled kindly at the girl who saved her life from the Indians. Susan then remembered, she just took a big tumble, and she's pregnant. She started panicking inwardly. Susan clenched at her stomach and heard footsteps approaching.

Songbird put a hand over Susan's stomach as if to hold her back. She said, "I be back. Talk…tribe."

Susan nodded trying to not let any scared emotion leave her control. Songbird left Susan all alone in the caves by herself. Susan looked around in the dark and heard people yelling in Telemarine. She wished Caspian was with her, but she knew that she was here to save him.

She heard animal feet behind her, and she turned with the bow and arrow at the ready. She noticed a glowing coming from this animal and a familiar mane. She threw her bow to the ground and ran up to Aslan.

She wrapped her arms around his shaggy mane, smiled, and let tears fall. "I didn't know it would be this difficult Aslan. I want to go home."

He sighed in remorse. "I know dear one, but I am afraid it is too late to turn back."

Susan choked out, "Why did you make me pregnant now?"

Aslan looked down and shook his head, "I thought you would take my warning to return home. I should have known better, your title should be the stubborn queen."

Susan chuckled weakly along with Aslan, and Aslan continued, "I may not be with you in the vision….but I will always be with you Queen Susan."

"But Aslan….."

"I would never enforce you with something I knew you couldn't do." He started fading away, and Susan watched him leave her sight.

She remembered where she was, but the panicking stopped. She noticed Songbird arrived "They go other way."

Susan nodded and sat on a rock. "So where should I go to be safe now?"

Lucy and Louise finally found Markell and Edmund. They were locked up the same as the other two, but on the other side of the camp. Neither of them saw what happened to Caspian or heard anything. Markell looked at the two. "Where's Susan and Rose?"

Lucy said in a rush, "Rose is on the ship safe and fine. We have no idea where Susan is."

Markell became afraid but then let the emotion move out of him. He asked, "So what do we do?"

Edmund stepped forward. "I can track her down…just show me where her tracks start."

Caspian was following the trail of the people who kidnapped him. He had his sword out in front of him and hoped that it wasn't a lost cause searching for his wife.

He knew it wasn't because he always needed to know she would be safe. Now not only her, but also a baby. He needed to find her. He shouldn't have left her on the ship without him, there was someone dangerous on it.

He paced himself into a slow jog looking at the ground, at the footprints. He stopped at an area where the footprints ended. There was a muddy looking area. He threw a rock at it and it slowly sunk, quick sand.

He found some more footprints along the outskirts of the quick sand and followed them. He hoped she wasn't too far away.

Susan was sitting in the caves curled into a ball, even though it was utterly hot. Songbird was going through one of Susan's little bags on her belt. There was a compass, gold coins, and a small dagger.

She found them to be mysterious and new, since the Indians didn't get things from the outside world for a while. Songbird played with the compass for a while. She gave Susan a clueless look and held it up.

Susan looked at it and said, "Compass, that's a compass. It helps you know which way to go. It also helps you if you're lost."

Songbird nodded and placed it on the rocky ground. She sat next to Susan and sighed. Susan looked at her piercing through her nose. There was a bone sticking through it. Susan touched her own nose to gesture to Songbird's nose while saying, "Did it hurt?"

Songbird nodded and touched the bone that was there. She pulled it out and placed it in Susan's hand. She was disgusted at first and didn't know what to do, so she just pulled on a smile and said, "Thank you Songbird."

Songbird had a gaping hole through her nose from where the bone was. Susan sighed, "I need someone to talk to…is it alright if I just talk to you?"

Songbird smiled and nodded. She took the bone back and sat in a listening position.

Lucy, Louise, Frederick, Peter, and Markell all followed Edmund. Louise said breathlessly, "Can we take a breather?"

Everyone looked at one another, and Lucy said, "We need to find Susan before the camp Louise."

Peter eyed his wife and whispered in her ear, "What's wrong? Is it the baby? Is it the running? Is it not good? Are you…." Louise put a finger to his lips.

"Calm down Peter. I'm just tired. Nothing wrong with me or the baby." She was feeling pain in her abdomen, but didn't want to worry anyone.

Edmund looked back behind him. "Is everything alright back there?" Peter nodded, and so did Louise.

Edmund looked forward again. "I think we're getting close."

Caspian heard yelling and shouting. He hid behind a bush with big leaves to cover his body. He watched as some men ran past him.

He watched as the men dragged a young woman with them. She had a bone sticking through her nose, no Susan. He ran in the opposite direction.

Once Susan was done talking, she heard yelling voices. Songbird gasped, "They back! You run….other way."

Susan nodded and hugged Songbird. She gave Songbird the compass and said, "For your kindness and bravery, Songbird. I thank you…I can never repay you."

Songbird smiled at the trinket and ran out of the caves first. Susan ran out of the caves and noticed Songbird talking amongst her people.

Susan hid behind a tree and saw a man slap her across the face. Susan flinched as if she felt her pain. She whispered, "Oh Aslan. I need to find my family."

She ran in the opposite direction of which Caspian was going. She ran as fast as she could with wobbly scared legs. She looked up trying to find any familiar faces. She ran into muddy dirt. It was up to her knees. She moved forward until she couldn't move anymore. She felt as if she was sinking. It was quick sand.

Louise fell to her knees in pain. Peter ran to her side immediately. The rest of the group circled them in wonder. Peter said, "Just go. We'll catch up eventually."

None moved unconvinced, and Louise spoke up hiding her pain, "It's alright. Just go on like Peter said."

They slowly dispersed into the jungle leaving Peter and Louise alone. Louise smiled faintly at Peter, he didn't smile back; he looked concerned. She then let the pain brake through. She grabbed a hold of her stomach and winced in pain. Then she squealed from it.

Peter grabbed her hand, and she squeezed. She felt the pain stop, and she let go of his hand. He said in a calm tone, "The heat's not good for you. I should've taken you on that ship when I had the chance."

Louise touched his face to turn his to her own, "We watch out family. Never look back on the past Peter Pevensie. Family comes before us."

Peter put his hand on top of the one touching his face. He then smiled at her, and she smiled back. She put both of her hands on his cheeks and pulled his face in for a kiss. It was a long tender kiss.

They broke away and touched each other's foreheads. Peter stood up and held his hand down to his wife. She grabbed the gesture, and he helped her up. He whispered, "If you hurt anymore, give the word and I'll carry you."

She giggled and grabbed onto his hand. "Only if you could carry me."

"I will always be able to. Now let's go catch up with the others."

Lucy felt a whisper through the trees and stopped from behind Edmund, Markell, and Frederick. She strayed off from the path and followed the noises. She felt herself go cold. Then a bright light came down from the heavens.

It was a beautiful white woman. She knew it was a star watching over them. The star said, "I have been watching you Queen Lucy."

"Is there something wrong?"

The star sighed, "I have looked into your future. All I can say is don't get caught up in your fears. Also, never let your family and friends get caught up in them either. It might just kill them."

Lucy took a step forward. "What does that mean?"

The star looked up then back at Lucy, "I'm sorry, but my time here is over. Remember what I said. Goodbye Queen Lucy."

The star went straight back into the heavens, and everything got hot again. Lucy felt a hand grab her wrist. She turned to face a concerned Frederick.

"What are you doing out here? We don't need any more people lost."

Lucy looked at him and back at the jungle, "I can take care of myself thank you."

"That's not what I was saying. I'm just worried about you. I was scared that…"

Lucy crashed her lips onto his. She didn't want him to be scared, especially after what the star said to her. She pulled her lips away from him, and he had a surprised look on his face. "You could have just told me to shut up like you always do."

She nudged him. "Don't worry about me. I'll keep myself in check. Let's go before Ed and Markell worry."

Frederick nodded not saying anything. Suddenly, they heard a blast from a horn. Lucy's eyes bulged. "Susan!"

Susan was sinking and sinking fast. She didn't know what to do. She tried to dig herself out, but it only made matters worse. She pulled her horn out of her arrow case and blew as loud as she could.

She blew three times until she realized that was a mistake. The people that live here could find her and kill her in a heartbeat. She prayed to Aslan that one of her family members or friends would find her.

She was up to her waist now and couldn't move. She tried everything, and suddenly she heard a rustling of the bushes. Out came Peter and Louise, and Susan sighed of relief.

They walked slowly towards her, and Susan put a hand out in front of her and said, "It's quick sand. You'll sink."

Peter scoffed, "Well obviously."

Susan retorted back angrily, "Is it really necessary to crack a joke now?"

Louise nudged Peter back angrily and looked back at Susan, "What can we do?"

"I don't know? I didn't even know this was a real thing. Just make sure no Indians come by and try to attack."

Louise pulled a vine down from a tree and pulled on it to check if it was stable. It broke from where she tugged. "It's not strong enough."

Susan looked like a light had come on in her head, "I know! One of you go get some of that rope from the camp!"

Suddenly, another rustling came through the bushes. It was Lucy, Edmund, Markell, and Frederick. Susan looked at the group, "Where's Caspian? Why isn't he with you?"

No one answered, and Susan felt hurt. They acted ignorant towards her. Peter said in a hushed tone to the group about Susan's situation, and what they were to do.

Markell and Edmund decided to go and get the rope. The rest of them stayed behind. Once they both left, Susan asked once more, "Where's Caspian?"

No one answered again, and Susan felt tears in the back of her eyes. Susan yelled with rage, "Where's my husband?"

Peter turned to his sinking sister, "No one knows, okay?" Susan was just above the hips now in the mud. Lucy sat at the edge of the muddy terrain. She tried to reach her hand out to Susan, but she couldn't reach.

Caspian heard a horn and headed towards the sound. He ran right into the leader. Caspian tried to run away, but couldn't because two guards got him. The chief said in Telemarine, "Oh? So the High King of Narnia thinks he can get away so easily?"

Caspian didn't answer he looked at the ground. The leader tied Caspian's hands behind his back and led the men through the jungle. He said in Telemarine, "Gag him."

The men did what they were told. The leader tisked and said, "Now King Caspian…I know you are married to the lovely Queen of old….Queen Susan is it? Well it seems as if she's in trouble."

Caspian tried to say something inaudible from behind the gag. The leader lifted up leaves quietly and showed his wife stuck in quick sand trying to get out. Caspian tried to yell her name but nothing came out.

The chief put a finger to his lips and said in a hushed voice, "Shh…We don't want her finding you, or that would ruin the plan."

They moved Caspian back to the camp and removed his gag. "Okay King Caspian. I'm going to bargain with you. Your life for your wife's life and the child's."

Caspian asked in Telemarine, "How did you know about that?"

"Easy. I always like hearing my prisoners' last words. You prayed that your wife and child would be safe. How sweet. And they will be if we kill you tonight."

Caspian put his head to the ground, "To save my family. I will do what you ask."

The tribe cheered and had cries of joy. Markell and Edmund saw the whole thing and luckily Markell knew Telemarine. He knew the entire plan.
