Susan

He'd done it again. He's done something completely stupid that endangered us. It took him ten minutes to come back to himself from the flowers! Ten minutes! A waitress noticed and called all the other ones. We were chased into the sea! Not only was I mad at him, but I was also disappointed. Of course I love him but you'd think after being king for three years he'd know how to turn down a stupid flower! I was still thinking about it when Edmund came in.

"What do you want, Ed?"

"I want to talk to you. I just finished talking to Caspian and I thought you ought to know it wasn't his fault that the flowers affected him so."

"You mean to tell me he didn't want to eat the flower and do anything for it?"

"No, I mean to tell you that he thinks you hate him for it."

"Is he crazy?! Now I really am angry!" I said, standing up. "Where is he?"

"He's in his quarters, finishing a portrait of you!" This didn't placate my anger much so I decided to just tell Caspian I don't hate him, but that I'm still angry and very disappointed. I went to his room and when I opened the door I saw him concentrated on the painting. He looked up and he looked so sad, like a kitten kicked out of his house. It just melted my heart. He put the painting down so it wouldn't get ruined and I simply ran and hugged him, forgetting all about being angry.

"Don't you ever think I hate you, ever again!" I said loudly when I finally let go. He smiled broadly and it made it worth it. It was quite unlike me to forgive so easily, but he just looked so sad, I couldn't think of making him sad like that. Suddenly, the door opened. Peter came in to tell us we'd spotted land. I got dressed and went to deck to see the new island.

The island's beach was completely white and the water was the same colour as the sky. Identical white and blue houses were lined up in front of each other, complete with columns and flowers. At the end, there was a huge white palace that sparkled in the sun. But the island was full of girls. All blonde, with blue eyes and gowns that matched them. When we docked, the whole crew came along because they refused to stay in the ship. I could see why, from far away, the girls were beautiful, from up close, they were down-right perfect. Every inch of their pearly skin, their blonde hair so light it was almost white, their sleeveless blue dresses, and their eyes like the sea surrounding the island, was flawless. I thought Devon would fit right in.

"If there is any place opposite from the Amazons, it is this one." Selene said, disgusted.

"Take us to your queen." I said and took Caspian's hand.

"Follow me." One of them said as she led us into the castle. She had a French accent. She told everyone to stay outside while Caspian, Peter, Lucy, Edmund and I went in. Selene demanded to come in, and she basically dragged Pirate Boy in, too.

The palace was just as amazing inside as it was outside and soon, we arrived at the throne room. In a throne, which was made of white marble and decorated with blue roses, sat the most beautiful girl yet. To her right sat a girl as beautiful as she, only with curly hair instead of her twin's straight hair. They were both wearing flowing blue gowns and silver tiaras.

Peter should step forward now, but he seemed in a daze, similar to the ones the sailors were in. I stepped forward instead.

"I am Queen Susan, the Gentle of Narnia and these three are my brethren, High King Peter, the Magnificent, Queen Lucy, the Valiant, and King Edmund the Just. This is King Caspian the Tenth of Narnia. This is Queen Selene of the Amazons and, um, Prince John of Terebinthia." I said, I clearly couldn't introduce Jack as a pirate or he'd be kicked out of the chamber, so I had to say the first thing that came to mind.

"Welcome, I am Queen Fleur and this is my sister, Queen Gabrielle. We are Queens of this kingdom, the island of the Veelas." Her eyes sparkled when she looked at Peter and I got chills down my spine so I held Caspian's hand tighter. "For those of you who don't know, we help sailors. We are immortal so they will eventually die, but they are given a place with us until then." Queen Fleur said. "You four boys please follow us." Caspian looked at me, but I had a terrible feeling about this. I didn't like the way Queen Gabrielle was looking at him. Quickly, Queen Fleur grabbed his arm and led him away. At this point, I was terrified.

"You three, please follow me." A maid I didn't notice before said. She led us through a hallway with glass urns lined up at the walls. In them, there were swords, crowns, and shields. I passed one that I recognized. It was a shield with a Telemarine crest that was next to a sword, identical to the ones we'd been collecting for a month now; I had to warn Caspian that a Lord had been here. We entered a grand bedroom, with three huge beds, three wardrobes, and everything else found in a royal bedroom times three.

I heard a click that meant that we were locked in.

"We're locked in!" Selene exclaimed.

"How could I have been so stupid?! I've read about Veelas! They are immortal girls who attract sailors. If they're not handsome or young, they kill them! And if they are, they will marry them. A Veela's kiss binds a man to them forever. Its spell can't be broken! Oh, we have to save the rest!" I said.

"But how?" Asked Lucy.

"I have a plan." I said. "The Veelas were very stupid, they hadn't thought about disarming us, which means that Lucy still has her knife, which we could use to break out. But before that, we have to look like Veelas." I opened the wardrobes and, sure enough, they were full of dresses. We quickly put them on, then I found some blonde wigs (why they were there, I don't know). Soon enough, we looked pretty enough to pass for Veelas.

Lucy used her knife to open the door. There were no guards or any kind of security. I grabbed the Lord's sword and shield so Selene could fight with them, for her original sword had a broken hilt (it broke when we tried to escape the Lotus-eaters). We got to the throne room, which was empty except for the maids.

"Excuse me; do you know where we could find the Queens? We have to show them these weapons… for inspection." I asked, with my best try at their accent.

"Alright, follow me." She said. She led us to the royal gardens. They were full of roses of every colour, and bushes with the greenest of leaves. A line of stones led to the centre that had two marble benches, and what was there made my skin boil. Caspian was looking at Queen Gabrielle as if under a spell, and Peter was doing the same with Queen Fleur. Edmund sat on the grass with some other Veela, and Pirate boy was walking through the roses with another. I saw Lucy's cheeks flush red and Selene's eyes narrow. I was so angry there might have been steam coming off my head. Luckily, none of the Veelas seemed to be getting married, which meant that they hadn't kissed yet. Fleur seemed to be at a respectful distance from Peter, for a Veela that meant she wasn't sitting on his lap, while her sister was sitting on Caspian's, twisting his hair around her finger. Then, they started leaning in, both their eyes closed. I was dizzy and scared beyond terrified, because if their lips touched, I would lose him forever. You'll have to yank him away from my cold, dead, hands, Gabrielle. I thought, as I charged at her. I pushed her off the bench so hard my hands hurt from the impact. Then I looked sideways at Caspian, who looked confused, almost angry that I'd done that. I kissed him with so much force, he almost fell off the bench, too. Selene and Lucy had already grabbed the other boys. "We need to get out of here." I said, then took Caspian's arm and ran as fast as I could toward the ship.
