Edmund's POV

What have I done?

Why was I so dumb?

Questions linger in my mind as I await for the dreadful moment to eventually come....Her return. I didn't want this. This isn't what I was promised. Now, I'm stuck and will die here alone.

I look across the floor at my completely frozen water and a hard piece of old looking bread. I sigh, but when I do, I can see my breathe. I wanted to cry but I thought my tear would freeze to my already frozen skin. I never thought I would be a 15 year old who is thrown into an ice prison.

"Are you going to eat that?" I hear a whisper.

I jump and turn my head in all directions. My eyes finally adjusted to a half man and half goat sitting in the cell next to mine. Wait... Was this Mr. Tumnus?

I push the tray over slowly. He quickly grabs the bread and devours it like it was his last meal. I felt bad for him. He saved Lucy.

"A-are you Mr. Tumnus?"

He nods. I could tell he was about to respond when I heard the cell door open. I scoot against the wall as quick as I can. She's here...

A tall girl with blond, wavy, hair stood in front of me. She was skinny, but had a very muscular build. Her eyes were a bright blue.

"Get up!" She spits.

Before I knew it, she walks over to me and pulls me up by my arm, "I said get up!"

I don't respond. I watch as a Minotaur drags Mr. Tumnus away. He couldn't even walk.

"Her Majesty wants to see you." The girl pulls me out of thoughts.

I lower my head and walk slowly with the blond girl. I don't even know her name, but I don't want to ask.

The door to the throne room opens and the girl drags me inside. I stand before the throne with my head down, I will not look at the Queen. She lied to me. I give a small sigh but grunt when the back of my knees were hit, sending me to the floor.

"Ah, Edmund! Just who I wanted to see!" Jadis says sarcastically acting surprised.

I continue to look at the floor. I will not let her control me.

"Look at me when I speak to you boy!"

Smack!

I feel pain in my head and realized the girl hit me with the butt of her sword. "You will listen brat!"

"That's alright Alana." Jadis halts the girl from speaking again.

I lift my head slowly and realized that now I've got a headache. I see Jadis smile and internally role my eyes.

"That's much better!' She claps,' Now we will be leaving soon. It's time to go see your siblings, huh?"

My heart starts racing. I hope my siblings are far away. I hope they have found Aslan, or gone home, or are in hiding. I'm the one who deserves the beatings from the girl, Alana, not them. They've done nothing wrong.

I drop my head again because last time I spoke, I was beaten. I'd rather just keep to myself then have to keep dealing with Alana.

"Ginarrbrik! Ready the sleigh."

~~~~~~~

I'm freezing to death, I just know it.

I sit on the floor of the sleigh with no coat or anything. The snow keeps flying in my face which is making me cough and shiver more. I see Alana smirk, but I keep myself from almost attacking her.

Suddenly, the sleigh comes to a stop. Why did we stop? Before more thoughts flooded my head, Alana leans over and shoves a cloth in my mouth, then she jumps out of the sleigh.

Jadis had been left at a base camp so I was alone with Alana, now I'm just alone. I hear people arguing, but I can't move. I hope someone will save me.

~~~~~~

Makayla's POV

I turn around towards the group. "I think we might catch him. This place is a transport route of Jadis's, so if the sleigh comes through, I bet he will be in it.

They nod and keep walking, however I hear something. I raise my hand. The noise is not extremely close but will be soon.

"Quickly! Behind those trees!" I point out to the beginning of the forest beside us.

Everyone runs to hide while I stay in sight. The sleigh is now in sights. Now it is time to save the King.

The sleigh comes to a halt. The snow around it flies up like a small tornado. Out jumps the one person I never though I would see again.

"Why Makayla, what a surprise!" Alana says sarcastically.

"Oh Alana, you look more like a dirt bag than the last time we encountered each other!" I reply.

She rolls her eyes. "What do you want?"

"You know what I want."

"Well you aren't getting him, so move along."

I laugh. "Not a chance."

I hear the crunch of footsteps behind me. I turn to see the three siblings behind me.

"What are you doing!" I yell angrily.

Peter stands up straighter. "He is my brother, we want to be here to help."

Alana laughs. "Oh how cute! The four siblings all together! Too bad you'll be too dead to know."

I step in front of the siblings protectively. I make sure that Peter keeps Lucy by his side since she was so small. I will not let them go.

"This is between you and me, leave them out of it." I exclaim.

Alana rolls her eyes. "Typical Makayla, trying to save everyone and be the hero."

"Well at least I tried! You gave up! You fell for it and left me to rot by myself. You became my enemy in a matter of seconds."

"You never cared Makayla. Never once."

"That's not true and you know it!"

I felt a small hand of Lucy in mine. I grab it tightly. Her comforting action helped to keep me sane.

"Yeah right." Alana spits before starting to turn around.

"We were best friends Alana! We were sisters! You left me for your evil scum of a mother! You think you're the only one with a sucky life, but what about me! What about me! I try to help you and you just trash me like I'm a utensil. I thought I knew you, but evidently I was wrong, you're just like her."

Alana turns back around. I see a tear sitting in her eye. "Well, at least I have family."

I can't let her get to me. Then I remember the task at hand, Edmund.

I pull out my sword. "I don't want to do this, but I can't let you take him."

She pulls out her sword. "Let's see what you've got Princess."

We charge and both give one hard swing. I look back to see that Peter has his sword up that he just received from Father Christmas and the girls are behind him. I swing at Alana's head, and before she can deflect, I reverse and go towards her legs. Alana jumps but I turn and hit her in the back with the hilt of my sword. She drops to her knees.

"Sorry Alana, for whatever I did to you." I say before I knock her out.

I stand up and turn towards the siblings. "Are you okay?"

They nod and stare in awe. I, however, walk to the sleigh and see a boy tied up on the floor with a gag in his mouth. I pull a knife out of my shoe and cut the ropes.

"Edmund?" I ask.

He shakes his head.

"Edmund!" Lucy squeals and I back up so the siblings can re-unite. I smile.

"Thank you." Edmund whispers out.

I nod my head. "Anytime, Your Majesty."

We look into each other's eyes and I swear I felt something deep down in my stomach that I had never felt before. What in the world am I feeling?
