"What do you mean up for sale?!" Edmund said as he drew his sword and pointed it at the man, but just as he did, the rest of the men that worked for that man, drew their swords and all were pointed at Edmund.

"Edmund." Peter whispered as he shook his head, signaling that this wasn't the right time.

Edmund understood Peter and realized that they were outnumbered. He helplessly puts his sword down but doesn't keep his eyes off the disgusting human... if he even was one.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Edmund asked angrily.

"Ah yes. We can't be rude, can we?" The man chuckled. "My name is Pug. I am a slave trader. These ladies...", he then faced me "Especially this one, will earn me a fortune."

"You are not taking them anywhere." said Caspian.

Pug laughed."I'm not?".

"No. You aren't." said Peter.

"Well watch me." Pug threatened as he slides his arm around my waist.

I helplessly squeal in disgust. Edmund looks at Pug, enraged, he quickly draws out his sword and lets out an angry shout. But just before he's able to do anything to the stupid slave trader, I feel something sharp slightly pushing in my waist.

"Not so fast." Pug laughed. "If you try to do anything, this one will be punished for your actions."

Edmund saw the dagger pressing against my waist, and he helplessly puts his sword down once more and lets out a frustrated yell.

I looked at Edmund. I couldn't help him. I couldn't help anyone.

"Lock them up." Pug demanded. His men then grabbed the three royals by the arms.

Edmund and I look at each other before parting ways. We were both upset we couldn't do anything. Could this be the end of us?

"How much are you willing to pay for this innocent face?" shouted the man hosting the auction. I couldn't believe it. Lucy was being sold off to men?! She stood in the middle of a small, wooden platform with handcuffs, preventing any movement. All Lucy could do was watch as the slave-hungry pigs bargained their money for Lucy.

"I'll take 10 gold coins for her!" shouted the man in the back.

"20!" shouted another.

"45!"

"60!"

"74!"

"100!"

"No one else? Going once, going twice... sold!"

A man escorted her to the side of the platform, where other people who were sold stood.

The host then took Susan. "How much for this lady? The one with pretty eyes! Come on men!"

Susan looked absolutely disgusted.

"I'll take a hundred for her!"

"120!"

"Anyone? Anyone at all? No? Going once, going twice aaaand sold!"

Susan walked to Lucy.

The host then put his hand on my back and brought me on the platform. I gave him a dirty look and whispered. "Get your hands off me."

"How much for this gorgeous beauty!? Now's your chance to replace your wives!" laughed the host.

"I am not going to be bought by anyone." I snapped.

"Oh! She is a feisty one! Can you handle her?" commented the host.

"I'll take her for 90!" shouted one.

"110!"

"130!"

"175!"

"200!"

"Going once, going twice... sold!"

I walked to the side where the rest were and positioned myself behind the other sold slaves. I suddenly felt a pull on my chain. I was pulled behind a building. It was so sudden and so fast, I wasn't able to hold back.

We stopped behind a structure and I looked at the person who had pulled me so suddenly out of the blue.

It was a boy with brown, curly hair and light green eyes. He looked like he was my age. His complexion was dark and he looked attractive. Not as attractive as Edmund though, that's for sure.

"Who are you? What do you want from me?"I questioned the boy.

"Relax madam, I'm here to help you." he answered. "Oliver. I'm Oliver." he said as he unlocked my chains with a key.

"Y/N." I also introduced myself. "Where did you get that key?".

"I stole it." He answered.

"Why are you helping me?" I asked him. "Do I know you?"

"Too many questions." He said as he tried to pull me away from the crowd but I stayed put.

"I'm not going anywhere with you unless you tell me why you helped me." I stated.

"Because you were the easiest to reach." He explained. "I also thought you might be the tough-warrior type."

I raised my eyebrow. "What?"

"Yeah because you boldly answered those pigs." He answered.

"Thanks." I told him.

He then rubbed his neck."And also because you're beautifu-"

I kicked his shin before he could continue. "Do not say that again. I like someone and he likes me."

"Ow. I was just complimenting you." Oliver said as he rubbed his shin. "Besides, are you his girlfriend?"

I stayed silent. "N-no."

"Then there isn't a problem, is there?" He smiled.

"We don't have time for this." I said, pushing him out of my sight to look for Susan and Lucy. "We have to help Susan and Lucy."

"Lucy and Su-what?" He asked.

"Those two girls who I was with. I know them and they need help." I said as I pointed at them.

"What's your plan?" He asked.

"Just follow my lead."

"Argh!" I say in frustration as I try to kick the gate open for the hundredth time.

"Its no use Edmund." said Peter.

"It might be if you helped." I retorted. "Lucy, Susan and Y/N need us and you just sit around doing nothing?!" I snapped.

"The rest of the crew will be looking for us in a few minutes. I suggest you save your energy." Peter informed me. "And besides, what's with you and Y/N anyway? Why do you care so much about her?"

"S-She-" I stutter. Come on Ed, get those words out. "She's a good friend. And she has a family back home waiting for her.".

I manage to answer Peter without stuttering. I respect Y/N and what she wants for this relationship. Even though we weren't a thing yet, I was planning on asking her soon.

"I'm friends with her but I didn't react that way when Pug touched Y/N." said Peter.

"Well we aren't exactly the same person, are we?" I scoffed.

"Peter, Edmund come here." Caspian called as he looked out a small window.

Peter and I went to were Caspian was and looked out the window.

We then saw Y/N hiding behind barrels with another guy.

Is she...? No she isn't. I trust her.

"Who's that boy Y/N's with?" asked Caspian. "And where are Susan and Lucy? Did Y/N abandon them?"

"No she would never do that." I said in her defense. "She's planning something.".

We heard a loud bang on the gate. It was the rest of the crew breaking us out.

"Your majesties." They said as they bowed.

"How did you know we were here?" Peter asked them.

"Lady Y/N told us." they answered.

We managed to let all of the sold slaves free. Susan, Lucy, Oliver and I went to look for Caspian, Peter and Edmund.

We ran to where we left our boats. I saw the rest of the crew, Peter, Caspian and Edmund at a distance, walking to our direction.

"Peter! Edmund! Caspian!" Lucy shouted as she ran to hug them, Susan followed behind.

Once they reunited, they hugged each other. It was a heart-warming scene.

"I feel you." Oliver said.

"What?" I asked him. "What do you mean?".

"I don't know what having a family feels like either." He told me.

I looked at him, almost feeling sorry. "Oh no, I have a family. Well- just my dad."

"Oh... lucky you." Oliver said as his head slowly dropped down.

"Y/N...". Someone called. I looked in front of me, it was Edmund.

"E-edmund!" I exclaim as I jumped into his arms. "W-where-h-how?".

"I'm alright now." He said as he looked into my eyes. "I'm just glad you're safe.".

I quickly unlocked my arms around him before any of the other Pevensies could notice. I also remembered I was with someone.

"This is Oliver." I introduced him to Edmund. "He helped me escape.".

I then faced Ed. "Oliver, this is Edmund."

"Hey." Oliver said as he extended his arm to shake hands.

Edmund shook his hand. "Hey. Thank you for saving Y/N."

I looked at Edmund and raised my eyebrow. "Saving?".I put my hands on my hips. "I was not saved by anyone. You just helped me escape."

"That is what I did." Oliver said pridefully.

Edmund scoffed. "I could've done that easily if I wasn't locked up." he murmured.

I heard what Edmund said, was he getting jealous?

I secretly held Edmund's hand to reassure him there was nothing for him to get jealous about. He held my hand too, just a bit tighter. He was insecure.

"Y/N." Said a voice from behind. It was Peter. I quickly removed my hands from Edmund's.

"Peter!" I greeted him nervously. "I'm glad you guys are okay!".

"Thanks to you." Peter told me. "We have to leave. There's no use asking anyone here. They'll either hide from you, sell you, or lock you up.".

"Good idea." I told Peter. "It was nice meeting you Oliver. Thanks for the help", I said as I waved my hands.

Oliver furrowed his eyebrows, "Wait- you're leaving?".

Edmund put his arm around my shoulders,"Yes we are, bye now." he said as he tried to push be back into the boat.

"No, just a minute! I want to come too." Oliver announced.

"What?" Edmund asked.

"I have nothing here for me anyway." Oliver said as he rubbed his neck. "My father is dead, my mother is dead, my sister is married to her boss. I might be of assistance.".

Peter thought to himself.

Edmund nudged Peter, "Peter we can't trust him.".

"Besides, I've already met a... friend." Oliver told them as he held my hand. Edmund shot him a dirty look, I quickly removed my hand from his grip.

"Don't do that again." Edmund and I told him in unison.

"Oh, sorry." Oliver blushed.

"Hmm, I'll ask Caspian." Peter said as he left to look for Caspian.

As soon as Peter turned his back, Edmund gave Oliver an even dirtier look.

He walked over to Oliver, just mere inches in front of him.

"Keep your hands to yourself." Edmund said as he took my hand.

"I think I can say the same for you." Oliver answered as he took my other hand.

"Would you two stop it?" I said as I removed my hand from both of theirs. "You're both acting like children who are fighting for the same toy. A little word of advice? I'm not your toy and I don't belong to any of you.".

I walked away angrily to meet up with Susan and Lucy.

Boys are so immature.

Lucy noticed the anger in my face. "Whats wrong Y/N?".

"You alright?" asked Susan.

"I'm fine. I think I just some time with... girls." I said as I let out a sigh.

I looked back at Edmund who was looking at me with regret. He then mouthed the words "I'm sorry.". I turned away from him. I needed a bit of time right now.

"Alright crew! Meet Oliver! He will be joining us on our quest to look for the Island Queen or Princess." Peter announced.

We all walked back into the boats and onto the Dawn Treader.

Lets see how everything will go.
