Chapter 1: Prisoners of War

Lucy's breath was shallow. Her brother, sister, and her were hiding in a small dresser. The castle was under attack and they were defenseless. The assault came without warning and all the three royals could do was hide.

Edmund could hear the raging battle. Not that there would be much of a battle. The attacker would easily outnumber the Narnians ten to one. He leaned back against the wood of the dresser and closed his eyes. Why hadn't they been better prepared?

Susan hated war. She never understood it's point. Why couldn't everyone just talk it out? She couldn't stand the killing, the raiding, and burning of it all. It scared her. And she couldn't control it. Susan hated anything she couldn't control.

The three of them were stuck. If only Peter hadn't gone to Archenland they all thought. They could hear the screams and yells of the killings. Lucy covered her ears.

What was only a few hours seemed like ages to them, before they didn't hear the roar of the battle.

"They've broken in", Edmund whispered his voice barely audible.

Then they heard voices in the room. Susan sucked in her breath. Various men began talking about searching the rooms. Then the voices died as they walked away.

After a half hour and still no sounds Susan thought it was safe to come out. She slowly opened the door. No one. She stepped out of the dresser and helped Lucy out. Edmund followed behind. Susan hesitantly went to the open door and peeked out. She didn't see anyone. She faced her siblings and saw Lucy, pale, pointing to behind her.

Before Susan could turn, a hand came across her face, covering her mouth, an arm across her stomach, pinning her arms to her side. Lucy screamed as someone roughly grabbed her wrist from behind. A man had a grip on Edmund's arms.

"Please me, and we won't harm you or your family", the man, holding Susan, hissed into her ear.

"Eric", a voice said behind the, so -called, Eric.

"Yes, Caspian", Eric said with an audible sigh.

"We haven't…oh, you found them", was Caspian's reply.

"Yes!" Eric said exasperate, turning to face Caspian still holding Susan.

"Well, apparently, the High King is in Archenland", Caspian reported.

"Well, he'll be coming back. We'll set a trap or something for him", Eric replied.

Susan looked into Caspian's chocolate brown eyes, as he stared into her fearful blue ones. Her breathing was coming fast.

"For now", Eric said. "Take her and the others into my tent. Make sure you bind them."

He shoved Susan into Caspian's arms. Caspian could feel her body tense.

"Of course", he said gently grabbing one of Susan's arms. The other two men, who had Lucy and Edmund followed as they went out of the castle to the enemies' camp.

They entered a rather large tent.

"You can leave now. I can handle them", Caspian said to the other men. With a grunt they let go of Lucy and Edmund and left. They stood there wondering what there captor would do to them.

"Hmm, where can I put you", Caspian thought out loud, looking around the tent. He spied two chairs and a stool.

"Here we go", he said, pulling them out and producing rope.

He took a hold of Lucy's wrist and she screamed in pain. He pulled her to him and clamped a hand over her mouth. She whimpered.

"Shh", he said, getting on one knee to face her. "I'm sorry. I didn't know you were in pain". He ripped a strip off his shirt and wrapped it around her wrist. "Will that do", he asked looking up into the little girl's face. Lucy sniffled and nodded.

He led her to a chair and had her sit down. He loosely wound some rope around her upper arms and tied a simple knot. He had Edmund sit down in the stool and loosely bound his wrists. Susan sat down on the other chair, and Caspian bound her wrists behind the chair, more tightly than the other two. He faced her.

"I'm sorry I have to do this to you". He started to walk out, but stopped and turned.

"Whatever you do, resist Eric. You'll regret it otherwise". And with that he left.

Susan thought about what he just said. Don't resist and Caspian will do something to her or don't resist and Eric would do something to her.

Edmund gaped. What kind of captor was this. Why was he acting so…nice? He knew one thing , though. They were now officially prisoners of war.

That's for chapter 1. Please R&R! Hope you enjoyed it, there's more to come!
