The Princess Cassandra Trilogy - Narnia Fanfic ✔

Part 4

"For our son! You must choose. Do you want our child to be king or do you want him to be like Caspian and Cassandra here?.." Miraz paused, "Fatherless!"

"No!" Prunaprismia yelled. She shot and Caspian toppled over, in the confusion I saw Miraz escape through a secret passage in the wall.

I helped Caspian up and saw that the arrow just grazed his arm. Bells started ringing and Peter yelled at us, "Come on!" We ran through the halls. After a while, Peter went down a different hallway,

"Peter!" yelled Susan,

"Our army is just outside!" came the reply, we quickly followed after him. We went into the courtyard. Two soldiers came at Peter but he killed them both easily, "Now, Ed, now! Signal the troops!" Peter yelled,

"I'm a little busy right now Pete!" I looked up and saw Edmund struggling against a soldier. Peter ran to the gate and started turning the wheel to open it,

"Peter, it's too late! We have to call it off while we still can!" yelled Susan,

"No, I can still do this! Help me!" he replied. We ran over and helped him turn the wheel.

"Just who exactly are you doing this for, Peter?" Susan asked calmly. We continued turning the wheel when it was opened I turned and saw Edmund turn on the torch to signal the troops. I heard yelling as our army rushed into the courtyard. They charged past us. We drew our weapons and ran to join the battle,

"For Narnia!" yelled Peter. The Narnians charged toward the oncoming soldiers and begin to fight. I kill a few soldiers until I hear an, "Ed!" escape Peter's lips. I looked to where Peter was looking and saw Edmund to the right of Telmarine archers! He dived into a room and kicked the door shut just in time. I keep fighting before I feel something sharp and cold go into the side of my right arm. I looked and saw that a soldier had cut it slightly. I sucked in through my teeth.

I heard a THUMP! and looked to where it came from. A satyr was dead. I quickly stab a soldier before looking over my shoulder. A large minotaur was holding the gate up.

"Fall back! Retreat!" I heard Peter yell. He swung around and continued to yell at the other Narnians. I see Susan get swung onto the back of a centaur before yelling,

"Caspian!" I looked over my shoulder and heard Peter yell the words,

"I'll find him!" another centaur raced toward me and swept me onto his back. I clung to him, looking back to try and see Caspian. I saw him riding out into the courtyard on a horse, the professor in tow. He handed Peter a horse and they galloped toward the exit.

Peter barely made it out before the minotaur collapsed and the gate shut. Many Narnians were still trapped inside. We all looked back in horror. The centaurs nodded and I see another few, nod back, still inside the gate. The drawbridge started going up. I could see that Peter was holding back tears. He hesitated and then rode toward us.

-- ASLAN'S HOW --

It was a silent ride back to the How. The army, led by Peter and Caspian stopped at the entrance as Lucy came out, "What happened?" she asked sadly,

Peter looked back at me and Caspian, "Ask them!" he said simply.

"Peter," I heard Susan say behind me,

"Us?" I asked him,

"You could have called it off. There was still time," continued Caspian

"No there wasn't thanks to you. If you'd kept to the plan, those soldiers might be alive right now," Peter replied,

"And, if you'd just stayed here as I suggested, they definitely would be!" Caspian said quickly,

"You called us, remember?" Peter spat,
