No More Ice

Random Narnia fact: Maugrim's name was changed to Fenris Ulf when Lewis revised the story, it's the actual canon name for the character.

The sun was just rising when they opened their eyes, catching a whiff of smoke from the burned out logs where a fire had previously been burning. Most of them anyways.

Mrs. Beaver scrambled up when she awoke from her resting spot. "Can you smell that?" she asked Mr. Beaver. "There was a wolf nearby!"

"They were all around this area last night, of course I smell 'em." Mr. Beaver replied, evidently more calm than his wife and started stretching out before Lucy's shriek pierced the air.

"Susan! She's not here! She was sitting right next to me."

Mr. Beaver stopped in his actions, one paw raised in the air from when he was stretching his leg. "There was a wolf near the camp." he said matter of factly after his nose twitched in comfirmination.

"I told you." his wife said while she glanced around the camp. "They're both stale."

"Wait. You can smell where she went right? You can lead us right to Susan." Peter said an arm wrapped around Lucy as he tried to comfort her though he looked rather panicked himself at the thought of Susan missing and the fact that a wolf had been near last night.

"We can't just follow her. The Witch probably has her now, we have to get going, quickly!" Mr. Beaver said then added, "When we get to Aslan we can send out a proper search party for the both of them. She has two of you now, we have to hurry."

Both Peter and Lucy looked torn at the idea of leaving their sister behind so soon after they lost Edmund to the Witch. "Okay then, let's go." Without waiting the two children were running across the snow, leaving the beavers to hurry after them as they all went towards the lion's camp.
