《The Telmarine Princess》Chapter One - The Night
Advertisement
----3rd Person----
The screams of Lady Prunaprismia rattled through the castle which was bathed in nightlight. Professor Cornelius stood waiting in the shadows to here of the news. Once a midwife came out she dealt the fatal blow.
"Lord Miraz has a son" With that the Professor turned and silently walked to his first room. He opened the door of Princess Katerina the youngest of King Caspian IX children. She slept soundly in her bed her flawless skin almost radiant as she slept. Professor Cornelius put his hand over her mouth and she let out a muffled scream of shock. Once realising who it was se glared and took his hand away.
"Go bother Caspian I'm too tired to look at stars" she grumbled turning over.
"There will be no star gazing tonight Princess. Quickly" she was now alert as the Professor gave her a cloak and she put it on along with the hood.
"What's going on"
"Your Aunt has given birth to a son" she gasped. Katerina loved her aunt Prunaprismia because she was nothing but kind and warm to her. Her Uncle Miraz on the other hand was mean and cold she never really understood the match. But just knowing her beloved Aunt had given birth to her brothers and in turn her downfall she was filled with fear.
Professor Cornelius and Katerina made their way through secret passageways until they reached her brothers room.
"Open the wardrobe there will be a panel at the back." Katerina nodded
-/- Katerina-/-
I opened the wardrobe as the Professor woke up my brother.
"5 more minutes" he breathed I pushed his clothes out of the way before opening the panel.
"There will be no watching the stars tonight my prince. Come we must hurry" He got Caspian out of bed and he saw me.

"What's going on" he asked
"Our Aunt had given birth to a son" I told him
"Come" We all got in but the both of us watched through a crack as soldiers and General Glozelle had crossbows. I nearly screamed as I saw all of them fired on a empty bed. We were pulled back and walked through a tunnel which took us to a corridor and stairs . We waited then moved till we reached the armoury. Caspian and I picked a sword and The Professor gave Caspian a cloak. I was pulled on to the back of Destrier.
"You must make for the woods" he told us.
"The woods?" I asked
"They won't follow you there" he then dug into his robes and took out a package handing it to Caspian.
"It has taken me many years to find this" Caspian put it away "Do not use it except at your greatest need" he told us
"Will we ever see you again" Caspian asked
"I hope so my Prince...Princess there is so much more I meant to tell you look after one another because everything you know is about to change" he whispered
"Close the drawbridge" we looked up to the order Destrier got restless.
"Now go" we took off out of the stables and into the courtyard. They told us to halt but I grabbed one of their spears and knocked them out. On our way past I threw it into a fire. Crossing the bridge we halted, I held onto Caspian as Destrier stood up and fell back down. We heard the announcement. I looked back and saw that soldiers were on us.
"Caspian we must leave...now!" I stressed he nodded and we set off again running through the town and out into the meadow I grasped tight as Caspian hurried our pace so we could reach the woods. We didn't stop as we entered, I thought we had lost them because of what the professor said but I was wrong they began to catch up as we left the forest for the ford at Beruna.

We made it through the ford and into the wood again both of us looked back to see if they were still there but we lost them for now. I was then knocked off the horse by Caspian. Sitting up I gasped as he was being dragged by Destrier I got up and ran to follow them. Caspian got his foot free and Destrier rode of.
"Caspian" I breathed as I dropped beside him "Are you alright are you hurt." he grunted
"Just my head" he laid there.
"Brother we must make haste I suspect they will catch up with us soon" He nodded and sat up. I was about to stand and help him when we heard a creak a hatched.
"They've seen us" one of them said another figure ran out and I took out my sword and putting myself in front of my brother. The figure who turned out to be a dwarf stopped mid pace I looked to his line of sight as he spotted a horn.
"Take care of them" the dwarf ran off and another one took its place however this one didn't stop and attacked me
"The horn" I yelled Caspian grabbed it.
"No" he blew the horn and the dwarf knocked him out. Then turned to me
"Don't even try it" I warned
"Nikabrik leave her alone" a badger came out.
"It's alright your safe" he held us paws up. I analysed him before looking at the dwarf.
"You stay away" I stood up and sheathed my sword.
"What is your name child" the badger asked me
"I am Katerina Princess of Telmar and you?"
"I am Trufflehunter your highness this is Nikabrik. Come we but get him inside" I nodded and helped take my brother inside.
