"So what do you suppose we do, your majesty?" Reepicheep asks while their at a gathering in Aslan's how. Everyone sits together looking at their options.

"We can attack the castle." Peter replies being confident but Caspian cuts him off.

"That's crazy, no one ever took over the castle." He says walking up to Peter.

"For everything is a first." Peter replies still confident.

"I for once feel safer underground." The badger says looking at the crowd.

"But if the telmarines are smart they just let us starve down here." Edmund says while standing up.

"We can gather nuts!" A squirrel suggests.

"Yes! And throw them to the telmarines! Shut the hell up!" Reepicheep replies smacking the squirrel.

"We can protect this place better if we stay here." Susan adds smiling at Caspian.

"But this is a how, not a battlefield." Peter adds.

"If I might, do you really wanna risk the soldiers and weapons to go out there to do what? Take over a castle that has never been taken over before? Peter, be realistic, that's a lost fight anyway." Nesrin says.

Peter totally ignoring her statement walks up to one of the centaurs. "If I can get you in, could you fight off the soldiers?" Peter asks.

"Even if it's gonna be my death." The centaur replies.

"That's what I'm scared off, according to you there are only two options. Or we die here, or we die there." Lucy says suddenly after being quiet for long.

"Seems like you haven't listened Lu." Peter replies.

"No you haven't listened, or did you forget who really defeated the white witch?" Lucy asks pointing at the wall behind her with a painting of Aslan.

"I think we have waited long enough for Aslan." Peter replies before storming off. Everyone stays quiet for a while before some other people leave.

Nesrin sits down next to Lucy and sighs. "Your brother is making a terrible mistake." Nesrin says.

"I know, do you think if they go, they will come back?" Lucy asks.

"I think we must be happy if some come back alive." Nesrin replies staying honest. What's the point on giving the little girl false hope anyway?

They decided to go when the night falls, giving them one day to prepare. "It's stupid Edmund, going out there for nothing in particular." Nesrin says.

"Don't you think I know that?" Edmund screams. He calms down and looks at a startled Nesrin. "Sorry, I just..." she takes his hand and squeezes it softly.

"I know, your nervous... and so am I, but promise me you will come back in one piece." She says softly.

"Only if you promise to do the same?" Edmund asks. She nods and they hug each other.

After all the supplies are gathered they make their way over to the castle. Edmund and Nesrin flying on griffins. Edmund gets dropped of first and when he signals with his flashlight Nesrin gets dropped onto another tower. Edmund and her nod at each other before she walks inside.

Immediately some soldiers show up ready to attack but Nesrin was prepared. "Avada Kedavra!" The soldiers fall to the ground and Nesrin immediately feels terrible. She walks over to one of the rooms to see Peter, Susan and Caspian walk inside another.

Nesrin follows seeing Caspian holding a sword onto Miraz' neck and his wife pointing a crossbow at Caspian. "Wait! Is that the witch!" Miraz screams.

Nesrin holds onto her wand tightly and points it at his wife. "You wouldn't dare." Miraz says looking at her. Nesrin smiles.

"Believe me, I would." Nesrin replies. They hear some sounds from the hallways and soldiers walk in. "Protego!" She screams at Peter protecting him from the sword that almost cut him in half. He fights back but Miraz escapes. Spells get thrown around.

Nesrin leaves the room when the soldiers are down. When Peter, Susan and Caspian go down, she goes up. She gets to one of the towers and fights off some other soldiers until Edmund's flashlight shines again. Without noticing, a soldier came up behind her and cut in her stomach. She falls to the ground.

The griffin throws the soldier over the edge of the tower and picks up Nesrin, flying back to the camp.

It's early morning when everyone arrives but no sign of Nesrin. "Where the hell is she?" Edmund asks panicking. Everyone is standing outside waiting.

"The last time I saw her she went up to a tower." Peter replies getting panicked too.

"We have to go back." Edmund says running but Peter stops him and shakes his head. At that moment the griffin lands and lays down Nesrin on the ground. "Nes!" Edmund screams running up to her body on the ground. Lucy runs up to them as well. "She is still breathing, Nes, hold on, Lucy is here it will be okay." Edmund says holding onto her hand.

Lucy drops one drop of her healing potion into Nesrin's mouth. Soon the witch breathes again, Edmund let's out a breathe he didn't know he held in. She opens her eyes and looks at Edmund with a blurred vision. "W...what happened?" She asks.

"You were almost death! I shouldn't have let you go! I should've been there, I'm sorry!" Edmund cries rubbing with his thumb on the back of her hand. Peter who's watching everything feels guilty, he should've listened to Nesrin in the first place.

Peter walks inside in complete defeat. "I'm still here Edmund, in one piece as promised." Nesrin replies.

"How can you still he so optimistic! I almost lost you." Edmund says sobbing, his tears falling down quicker then rain. He picks her up and carries her inside. Laying her down on a bed. She falls asleep.
