Hey guys! Glad you liked the last chapter so much better than the one that was previously posted, and hopefully this one also manages to surpass your expectations. Hopefully this one will be much longer than the last one as well, and I am thinking that I might speed up the story a bit, but I don't really know. I guess you'll have to review and make up my mind for me! Now, response time:

LesMisNut: I probably would have used my entire vocabulary of cuss words on them as well, all etiquette aside. And also, I am really looking forward to writing the chapter with Liliandil in it, actually. I can tell you now it's gonna be very entertaining.

Now, read the story!

Disclaimer: I don't think my name is C.S. Lewis. This chapter, the stuff from the movie will not be in bold due to the fact that it would be highly more difficult to do so than with the book.

The next day, the Pevensies and Caspian had made it to port in Narrowhaven and had been separated, the boys going to a dungeon and the girls to the stands to be auctioned off, while all the while they were all yelling at the men not to .

In the dungeon, Caspian was kicking the door hard, trying to break out but to no avail. Meanwhile Edmund and Peter sat in the corner of the room, watching Caspian with weary eyes. Each boy thought of their sisters and wished just as desperately to get out as Caspian, but was instead of using force to do so, was thinking of a plan.

It was a slow process.

Finally Caspian stopped and Peter sat up. "You all right?" he asked. "Yeah," said Caspian. Then he began to kick the door again. Suddenly a voice spoke out of the corner of the room that was shrouded in darkness. "It is hopeless," it said. "You'll never get out." The boys jumped, and then Peter got up.

"Who's there?" he asked. "Nobody," said the voice. They recognized it as a man's. "Just a voice in my head." The boys were all up now, very alert. Caspian began to walk toward the voice, his eyes slowly adjusting to the dark. Slowly a man came out and they saw him clearly in the light.

The man had long, shaggy hair that reminded the boys of the kind that an old wizard may have. He had a long, curly white beard and long, shaggy hair that was also white. He looked to be maybe sixty years old. Caspian seemed to recognize him immediately. "Lord Bern?" he asked.

The man looked down ashamedly for a moment before answering. "That's once but I'm no longer deserving of that title," he said. "Is he one of the seven?" asked Edmund. Caspian simply nodded before walking over to the Lord, who began to crawl backwards before Caspian stopped him. He crouched so that he was face to face with the sitting Lord.

Lord Bern looked at him strangely for a moment. "Your face," he said confusedly. "You remind me of a king I once loved well." "That man was my father," said Caspian. Lord Bern's expression softened considerably. "Oh, my Lord, please forgive me," he said. He made to stand up.

"No, please, please," said Caspian, helping the man to his feet.

And then the almost silence of the dungeon was shattered by a noise from the outside. Edmund and Peter got up and looked out the small window, trying to find out what was going on.

Outside, a horse drawn carriage was being driven out a gate, and behind it were two men: one man was obviously a servant or guard to keep people back from the carriage, and one was seemingly the husband of a woman riding; he had dark hair and blue eyes. He ran behind the carriage, reaching forward as though to grab her hand.

"Mommy!" yelled a girl from the side. She looked just like her father, except with golden hair like the woman in the carriage. "Get back," said the guard to the husband, ignoring the little girl.

(I made the descriptions with how I always pictured them, no matter how they looked in the movie. Sorry if that's not how they really look.)

The servant seemed to be trying to restrain the other man now, and he was not being able to do so by himself. Unfortunately, another man came over right then and punched the husband in the face, knocking him to the ground and successfully making it so that he could not get to his wife, who was getting father and father away.

"Mommy!" yelled the little girl again. "Stay with daddy!" said the woman, obviously the mother of the little girl. "Don't worry!" said the father, trying to get up from his place on the ground. "I will find you!" "Mommy!" yelled the girl yet again, helping her father up.

Now Caspian joined Edmund and Peter at the window. As they watched, they saw the people from the carriage being transferred to boats. "Where are they taking them?" asked Peter worriedly. "Keep watching," said Lord Bern, his face absent of emotion.

The people were taken away, out to sea, where storm clouds were gathering. Suddenly, a green mist flooded the boat and stayed for a few minutes before disappearing, leaving nothing in its wake, and taking the boat and the people. "What happened?" asked Peter.

"It's a sacrifice," said Lord Bern. "Where did they go?" asked Caspian. "No one knows," said Lord Bern. Now all of the boys turned to face him, in need of an explanation. "The mist was first seen in the east," said Lord Bern. "Reports of fishermen and sailors disappearing out at sea. We Lords made a pact to find the source of the mist and destroy it. They each set sail… but none came back.

"You see, if they don't sell you to the slave traders, you're likely to be fed to the mist."

There was a severe silence for a few moments until the boys all looked at each other. "We have to find the girls!" they said at the same time. "Before it's too late."

++++LINE BREAK++++

Meanwhile, the girls were at the auction place, and Lucy had just been sold to a man who had bid quite a bit for her. unfortunately, it was now Susan's turn.

"Now," said the auctioneer. "Today we have for you the finest specimen we've ever had here." He motioned for Susan to come on stage, and another man roughly pushed her up. Instantly cheers went up from the men of the crowd, and Susa glared at them all before spitting at the ground. "Beautiful and feisty is this one, gents!" said the auctioneer. "Quite the prize. Now, who will start the bidding?"

Instantly bidding started.

"150!"

"200!"

"225!"

"275!"

"350!"

"Anymore bids?" asked the auctioneer. The place remained quiet. "Sold then, for 350!" Susan was roughly escorted off of the stand, and given to the man who had bought her. Luckily enough it was the same man that bought Lucy, but that didn't mean much in her mind. She didn't take kindly to being auctioned off like a possession.

Susan stood by Lucy while her new 'owner' continued to stand still, only admiring her a moment before looking back at the stand to see who else he could buy.

The boys were being taken into the square, Susan saw. Maybe they would be able to save her? Probably not, she thought. But I mustn't lose hope.

The net person to come to the stands was a scrawny boy, and nobody seemed to want him. Finally the auctioneer said, "Come one, someone make your bid!"

"I'll take them off your hands," said a strangely familiar voice. "I'll take them all off your hands!" The man who said that lifted his hood to reveal none other but the captain with Reepicheep on his shoulder! "For Narnia!" He yelled the last part, and suddenly half of the people there yelled along with him and took off their own hoods, revealing the crew.

Once the battle started, it didn't take long for the crew to prevail. The people who were being sold were all freed including the boys, Lucy, and Susan. After the girls were freed, they thanked the Mouse profusely before walking off to find the boys, fighting bad guys as they went.

++++LINE BREAK++++

The first instinct that Caspian had when he was freed was to find Susan, who he hadn't yet seen.

He looked around frantically before he realized what he was doing. Wait a minute, he thought. Why am I worried about her so much? She's just a friend. Just a friend. Friend. He inwardly groaned. No matter how many times he told himself that, it never made it true.

Before he could think much more on the matter, however, he felt two arms around him and thick, silky hair hit his face. He smelled strawberries- a smell that he knew from three years ago to be hers.

She pulled back from him and looked him in the eyes. "Oh you're alright!" she said happily. She looked into his eyes for a moment before seeming to notice what she was doing and moved on to her brothers, her smile disappearing for a moment before coming back, albeit not quite as brightly.

"I'm so glad you're all okay!" said Lucy, who also gave all three boys a hug, going behind her sister. Everyone gave each other hugs and made sure each other were alright before going back to the battle, which was just stopping. It only took the crew four more minutes to win the battle, and then they all stood for a moment and took a head count to make sure nobody was missing.

Nobody was.

++++LINE BREAK++++

Three hours later, the ship had been replenished of all supplies and the crew were on their way back to the ship when the father from earlier came over to Caspian. "Your majesty!" he called, coming over. "Your majesty!" "Hold it," said Drinian, trying to hold him back.

Caspian turned to the man in curiosity. "My wife was just taken this morning," said the man.

"Daddy!" said the little girl, running behind again while a woman tried to come and hold her back. "It's alright Drinian," said Caspian, and the captain let go of the man. "I beg," said the man. "Take me with you. I'm a practiced sailor; I've been sailing all my life."

Caspian looked over at Susan and realized how the man must be feeling. The love of his life had been taken from him, just as Susan had, and he rightly wanted to bring her back, just as Caspian had. "Of course," said Caspian. "You must." "Thank you," said the man.

"Daddy," said the girl. "I want to come." "No Gael," said her father. "Go stay with your aunt." "But daddy!" said the girl. "Have I ever not come back?" he asked, turning to her. Gael shook her head, and her father embraced her. "Now be good," he said before turning back again and walking on board. The woman, obviously the girl's aunt, came and hugged her tightly to her.

A little ways away, Susan and Lucy looked on. They knew how the little girl must be feeling: the same way as they had so long ago when they had been sent away from their mother during the war.

Meanwhile, Caspian turned around right as he was walking on board. Behind him, Lord Bern was calling him. "My king!" he called. He held out a dirt-incrusted sword to the very confused Caspian. "This was given to me by your father. I hid it safely in the cave. All these years."

"That's not a Narnian sword," said Peter curiously. "It's from your Golden Age," explained Bern. "There are seven such swords. Gifts from Aslan to protect Narnia. Your father entrusted them to us. Here, take it. And may it protect you." Caspian took the sword reverently and looked at it in awe.

"Thank you my Lord," he said. "And we will find your lost citizens." He put his arm around the other two boy's shoulders and walked on board with them.

++++LINE BREAK++++

Caspian gave Edmund the sword later, knowing how weird it must be to see Lucy, Peter, and Susan all be given their gifts the first day they were there but he be left without. He figured it must be kind of depressing. He had heard the stories: Edmund didn't have a gift because he had betrayed his siblings. It must be pretty depressing to be constantly reminded of something like that, thought Caspian.

The next day, the sea was before them and everyone was bored. Thus, duels were fought. Susan and Lucy watched, laughing, as Caspian and Edmund fought each other on the deck. It seemed that Caspian would win one minute, but the net minute Edmund would have the lead.

Although she had a good time, Susan didn't quite approve of such things and therefor was quite alarmed every time the swords were brought near one of the boys too closely. She would often be seen jumping a foot in the air and squealing every few seconds as the sword was brought near either boy.

The girls watched as the boys jumped all around the deck, and every once in a while one of them would fall and the duel would start over. They said they were training, but the girls knew better. This was simply something to get over their boredom at the moment.

Halfway through, Susan decided that the minutely heart attacks probably weren't healthy and she needed to go do something else, so she walked to the front of the ship and watched as the waves went by, mermaids swimming there beautifully. Everything seemed peaceful.

It stayed that way for a few moments until she heard a commotion back on deck, and she walked back over.

There, she saw something that brought a very big smile to her face.

On deck, the boys had obviously tipped over a barrel while dueling, and out of the barrel was crawling the little girl from the island, Gael. Her father and the rest of the crew stood by in shock as she stood up and looked around, looking like she thought she was about to be punished severely, which she probably thought she was.

"Seems we have a new crewmate," said Susan, still smiling. She looked a Caspian. "Caspian, can you please Lucy and me a few moments while we take her and get her properly settled in?" Caspian nodded, his previous shock done with. Lucy and Susan took her down to their quarters to do just that.

Hey guys! Sorry it's so late! I really got a late start because my older brother came to town from his mom's house on Sunday, and he hasn't let me and our siblings do anything that doesn't have to do with family since. Unfortunately, he had my mom on his side, so it's not like I could really do anything.

Anyway, I hope you guys liked this, and please please please review!
