Lucy and percy lead everyone around the place, past the lampost, sliding down the snow for fun, and towards Mr. Tumnus's place as lucy spoke "...lots and lots of lovely food, and we'll have lots and lots of..." she stopped as she and percy see his door destroyed." Lu?" Peter said 

Lucy immediately rush off towards it and percy ran after her. She stops her and carefully moved inside to check with her sword out

"Lucy! Percy!" Peter calls as everyone rushes there. they all see his place destroyed and in shreds. Lucy said, "Who would do something like this?"

Percy saw the note and grabs it. " Peter, can you read this?" she said, 

"why?"Peter asked

" I am dyslexic. English is murder to my eyes" she said 

" oh sorry" He takes it and reads "The Faun Tumnus is hereby charged with High Treason against Her Imperial Majesty, Jadis, Queen of Narnia, for comforting her enemies and fraternizing with humans.

Signed Maugrim, Captain of the Secret Police.

Long Live the Queen."

"All right. Now we really should go back." Susan said

"But what about Mr. Tumnus?" Lucy said 

"If he was arrested just for being with a human, I don't think there's much we can do." 

 "You don't understand, do you? I'm the human. Percy too...well. She must have found out he helped us."

"Maybe we could call the police," Peter said 

" These are the police," Percy said grabbing the paper and balling it up before tossing it "Don't worry, Lu. We'll think of something to save him"

"Why?" Edmund said, "I mean, he's a criminal."

" no he is innocent and you howe..." she stopped when she heard someone psst at her outside. they all saw a little bird on a branch

"Did that bird just "psst" us?" Susan said as they all went out. the bird flew off but then they heard some rustling in the woods. Percy lifts her sword higher and pushed the Pevensies behind her.

" I can take care of myself," Peter said " are you the one with a sword? no then shut up" She said listing carefully as she raise to strike but stopped seeing it was a beaver. 

"It... It's a beaver." Lucy said. Percy notices it come closer to them

"Here, boy. Here, boy." Peter said calling it closer and bending down to offer his hand for it to smell

"I ain't gonna smell it if that's what you want." The beaver spoke surprising everyone.

" woah that is new," percy said recapping her sword

"Sorry."Peter said as the Beaver said "Lucy Pevensie?"

"Yes?" she gets the hanky back from him "Hey, that's the hankie I gave to Mr. Tum..."

"Tumnus. He got it to me just before they took him."

"Is he all right?" Percy asked. The beaver looked around and motion his head back " Further in." he led them somewhere. Percy, Lucy, and Peter follow but Susan stopped them

"What are you doing?" 

" She's right." Edmund said, "How do we know we can trust him?"

"He said he knows the faun," Peter said 

"He's a beaver. He shouldn't be saying anything!" Susan said " and yet we are in the woods in a wardrobe what do you say about that?" Percy responded

"Everything all right?" Mr. Beaver said 

"Yes. We were just talking." peter said 

"That's better left for safer quarters," he whispered 

"He means the trees," Lucy said. Percy nods and held Lucy's hand as they all followed Mr. beaver. 

"Come on. We don't want to be caught out here after nightfall." Percy walks with Lucy while Peter walks near her followed by Edmund and Susan. Soon it was dark and they see the dam on the ice lake.

'it's a dam on the dam lake' Percy thought chuckling internally at an old joke.

"Ah, blimey! Looks like the old girl has got the kettle on.Nice cup o' Rosy Lee." Mr beaver said 

"It's lovely. " Lucy said
