Pevensie daughter [Prince Caspian x oc]

Chapter seven: The dreams

Scarlet was pretty positive that she had never been as wet as she was in the current position she was in. Shortly after they had left Coriakin's island, a violent storm and a thunder storm had overwhelmed them. The teen could barely hear the crewmen shouting all around her for the roar of Mother Nature, Thor the Norse God or a third thing. Shivering with her regular clothes beneath a special made storm – and raincoat, Scarlet was trying to help the crew where ever she could. It was difficult, but she managed to warm herself up a bit, but she could only focus for so long with how her body was shivering. Lucy had taken Gael off Rhince's hands and brought the little girl down to Caspian's quarters which Scarlet and Lucy currently vacated as a courtesy from their friend. 

The ship was creaking, and at times it made Scarlet stiffen and look one more time to make sure that the ship wouldn't betray them without them noticing. But the warrior had to give it to the builders and Caspian's faith in them. The Dawn Treader had lasted for hours and there hadn't been any reports on any leak yet. Slight wobbly and with some difficulty, Scarlet was managing to make her way around deck. Currently, she was helping in the area around the helm where she clearly could hear Drinian's commanding growls, "Three spokes to starboard!" 

"Aye, aye, sir!" Scarlet then proceeded to walk down the stairs with difficulty before approaching Tavros and several crew men, who were handling the sails. "May I be of service, Tavros?" Scarlet yelled while trying to keep her drenched brown hair out of her mouth. The enourmous minotaur turned to look wide-eyed at the teen. 

"But, my lady..." Tavros stammered in a growl. Scarlet snorted, and although her voice was kind, it was also determined and non-negotiable. 

"I can handle a little rain. Give me that rope." The minotaur reluctantly handed the teen a rope with a good natured snort. Scarlet then took a firm hold of the rope with both her hands.

"On my call, men, lady." Tavros acknowledged. Scarlet smirked. Where after she gave the minotaur a small nod. Tavros looked at her before growling, "Heave!" And so Scarlet did as she felt the energy surge through her and out through her hands as she along with the other crew members concentrated on keeping the sails steady. She had never tried being hit by a large wave before, so when she suddenly was hit by a massive force of water coming over the railing, she nearly toppled over and she lost focus. She managed to keep the rope steady, but not before she felt stiff and incredibly cold again. But she hadn't been the only one as the crew members around her too were soaked once again. 

"My lady!" a distant voice sounded over the crashing waves and other shouts. Scarlet turned in the direction of which the call came, while making sure not to loosen her already slippery grip on the rope. She soon recognized the figure approaching to be Drinian. She hadn't seen it right away because of the hood he was wearing. 

"King Caspian wants to see us both, my lady." The old sea captain announced when he was standing directly in front of her. Scarlet nodded while summoning another crewman to take her spot with her hand. 

"Where?" she asked. 

 "Captain's Quarters." Drinian replied. Scarlet nodded. 

"Lead the way, Captain." Walking or rather scrambling behind Drinian made it a little easier to walk as Drinian's form took most of the wind and rain – in front. The transition from walking outside to entering the captain's quarters made Scarlet shudder suddenly as warmth embraced her entire body. Drinian held the double door open for her before he lost his rain coat by it. Caspian sat on the couch, looking out of the rain cloaked windows when she entered. Edmund was standing off to the side, holding his balance by holding onto a plank in the ceiling – yes, he's become that tall – and when he saw his daughter's disheveled looks, the smug bastard just smirked and shook his head.
