HEY! OMG, OMG, OMG, I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS CHAPTER! Alright, sorry for the caps lock. *calms down*

Now, I have picked what I am gonna write this chapter, and I am absolutely ecstatic about it! But first: This chapter is of two chapters in the actual book: The Adventures of Eustace, and How The Adventure Ended. Therefore, seeing as those were centered on the boy himself, I was forced to come up with the current name, Adventures in a Cave.

Alright, so in the book this island would be Dragon Island, so actually that was why this was such a problem to write. However, I have had a reviewer give me an idea for actually both islands that I am probably gonna use, so that's that, and let me respond!

Trapped In Narnia: Thanks so much for the idea! Actually I really liked them. I hope this chapter did it justice! BTW, this is Dragon Island, not the Invisible Giants' island. Again, thanks so much!

luv: Thanks for the review, and actually I was thinking on that as well. I actually think that this chapter will be more than enough to get them to start talking.

WARNING(s): This chapter is slightly short in comparison to others, and it is also written completely by memory, so it might not be exactly like the movie. Major fluff coming next chapter though to make up for the shortness of this one!

Disclaimer: I don't own the Pevensies any more than I did last chapter.

The next morning, the crew woke up early and Caspian sent a bunch of men to try and find some food or drink they could take back with them when they went back to the ship. Meanwhile, he and the Pevensies decided that they wanted to explore the new-found island.

They walked through a great canyon, seeing what they could find, but that wasn't much being as this was a volcanic lisland. "Hey!" said Susan suddenly, pointing ahead of them. "What's that?"

Ahead of them, something was shining brightly in the light. It looked to be metal of some kind. "I don't know," said Caspian. "But we should probably go check it out, shouldn't we?" The others agreed and they walked over to where the light was shining off of the object brightly.

When they got over to it, the children were met with a horrible and surprising sight. On the ground there lay a skeleton that had obviously been there for some great deal of time, and net to it lay a sword, which had been the object the light reflected off of.

The children gasped at the sight, and Lucy hid her face in Peter's shirt as the others looked on. "Look at that sword," said Edmund. "It looks like-""Like the sword that Lord Bern gave to us," said Peter. "And look at that crest," said Caspian, pointing to a design on a shield that lay near the sword. "That is the crest of a nobleman." "Then this must be one of the Lords," said Susan.

"Then we must take the sword," said Peter. Caspian bent to pick up the sword, and as he did he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eyes. "Is that a cave?" he asked incredulously, standing up. The other looked over to where he was gazing.

Indeed it was smoke. In front of them, almost hidden, was a small doorway to a cave. "Maybe there's water there!" said Lucy, who had by now stopped hiding her face. "Alright," said Peter. "Then we should all go in and check." So they all went into the cave.

The walkway inside was dark, and eerily so. They could hear a sound coming from deep inside, and they were happy to find that it sounded like running water. As they got closer and closer to the sound, the walkway began to light up with light reflecting off of the water. The effect was even spookier than to begin with, and left goose bumps on Susan's arms.

Finally they reached the water, and found it oddly sparkling. They had assumed that the light reflecting off of it was from a hole in the ceiling or something of that sort, but there was absolutely no light coming out of any corner or crevice in the room. It seemed that the water was actually giving off its own light, as absurd as it sounded.

The children were all so busy looking at the water, in fact, that they didn't even notice the green mist begin to build up at their ankles. "What is this place?" asked Lucy. "I don't know," said Susan. "But I don't like it one bit." "Wait a minute!" exclaimed Peter suddenly. "What's that at the bottom of the pool?"

The children all looked down at where he was now pointing. "Is that," began Caspian. "A statue?" "No," said Edmund. "That actually looks like a real person." "But its gold!" said Susan. "I know," said Edmund. "But look at that! It cant possibly be a statue."

"Then the pool is enchanted," said Peter, leaning over to inspect it. "Poor man," said Lucy. "No," said Edmund, sounding shocked. "Poor Lord. Look at the sword!" Indeed, there was a sword lying next to the man, and it was identical to the other two that they had previously found.

"We need to get to the sword," Caspian and Peter said at the same time. "But how?" asked Susan. "If we put our hand in we'll turn to gold just like the Lord!" "Hold on," said Lucy. "How come the sword isn't gold too?" The children all looked at the sword. Lucy was right.

"Maybe it's because Aslan made them," said Peter. "They can't be enchanted because He made them first." "Alright then," said Edmund, unsheathing his sword. "Let me see…" Edmund lowered his sword into the water and used it to nudge the other one to the shore and pick it up.

After, when they were all done looking at the sword, Lucy looked back at the Lord. "He mustn't have known what hit him," she said. Edmund looked back at her, as well as the others. "Or maybe," he said suddenly. "He was on the right track." The others looked at him strangely. Susan didn't like the look in her brother's eye.

Edmund grabbed a sea shell from on the shore and dipped it into the water deafly before putting it back on shore and watching as it turned to pure gold. "whoever owns this lake would be so powerful," he said before looking back at his siblings. "Susan, Lucy, we'd be so rich. We would never have to be told where to live. We wouldn't have to live with Eustace anymore."

"You can't take that out of Narnia Edmund," said Caspian, an odd tone in his voice. Susan looked at him strangely for a moment. His eyes didn't look right; they looked as though they were a bit darker than they were supposed to be. They seemed almost… evil.

"Why not?" asked Edmund harshly, standing. "You can't take anything out of Narnia," said Caspian. Still nobody noticed the green mist around their ankles that seemed to be getting much thicker. "You can't tell me what to do!" exclaimed Edmund indignantly.

"You've been waiting for this, haven't you!" accused Caspian. "You've been waiting to challenge me; to challenge my leadership!"

(Alright guys, here's the part where Peter and Susan being there changes part of the story!)

"That's not what he meant Caspian," said Peter, darkness in his eyes as well. "And what about you Peter?" said Caspian. "You never respected my authority any more than Edmund has!" "Edmund and I are the true kings of Narnia!" said Peter. "You're the one that was just there at a time of convenience!"

"If you are the true kings," bit back Caspian. "Then why weren't you there the last thirteen hundred years when Narnia truly needed you!" "You know very well that we couldn't be!" exclaimed Peter. "You're just bitter because we had to leave along with Susan."

Susan gasped. She didn't think the fight would ever go this far, and yet at the same time she was afraid to stop it. Lucy looked like she wanted to, but Susan kept Lucy net to her so that she wouldn't get hurt by the boys, who were very mad and seemed to be getting even madder by the second.

"You know what," said Caspian harshly. "I knew very well when you left that it was for a reason, and I understood. I hoped every single day that when you finally did come back it would be in my time. But then when you finally did come, Peter, your siblings didn't come with. I thought that I wouldn't see Susan ever again. But I still pretended that I was fine.

"Then when she finally did come, you told me that I still couldn't be with her, because it would hurt her. and you know what, Peter? I was just fine with that. I told her I wanted to be just friends, because I didn't want her to get hurt. And still I have kept my promise, thinking of her and not myself. Do you know how hard that is? Do you even care?"

Just as Peter was about to retort back, Susan jumped in. "Peter?" she asked quietly. She looked hurt. "Did you really tell him to not be with me?" The darkness in all three of the boys' eyes went away at this point, all of their attention on Susan, their eyes now full of concern and guilt, still not noticing as the green mist dissipated.

"Susan, I-" Peter began. But she just shook her head, tears now falling from her eyes. She didn't look angry, but what Caspian saw in her face was even worse. She looked hurt, betrayed even. She looked them both in the eye, her gaze never once wavering, and it seemed as though she was looking for something in their eyes to tell her that what he had just said had been a lie, a rouse, anything that would mean it wasn't true.

She never found it.

She looked back and forth between both of the boys at this point, her eyes showing how hurt she was, but said not a word. After a moment, she ran from the cave and back to the shore, ignoring the shouts from her siblings as they called after her, hot tears falling from her face at an exhausting rate.

Cliffie! Lol I love doing those.

Alright guys so I know that I promised that the chapter would NEVER be this short, but you see I wrote that part and realized that honestly I couldn't think of another way to make the net chapter make sense if I were to continue this one here. Sorry about that, but I really wanted to make the Invisible Giants island next, seeing as I didn't exactly have Eustace here so I couldn't very well make the next chapter how it was in the book, so I didn't have much choice. You can flame a bit in the reviews if you like; I promise I won't be upset about it. Honestly I can't blame you.
