Chapter 8 - Mr Tumnus' Home
We made our way through the snow and i looked around in wonder Lucy was telling us about Mr Tumnus and how she met him and everything she had learned about Narnia. during her talking she suddenly stopped.
"Lu?" Peter asked noticing her sudden silence she gasped and started running.
"Lucy!" Peter shouted, we started running after her into a cave where everything was wrecked i looked around and noticed what i thought looked like a flute.
"who would do something like this" i looked at Lucy putting the flute in my pocket for some reason. i looked at the ground China was smashed pictures and book were everywhere, seat were over turned someone was looking for something.
"the Faun Tumnus is here by charged with high treason against her imperial majesty Jadis, Queen of Narnia for comforting her enemies and fraternising with human signed Maugrim, Captain of the secret police, Long Live the Queen." Peter read out from a parchment nailed to the wall. Susan took it and re read it.
"okay now we really should be getting back" Susan stated
"but what about Mr Tumnus" Lucy asked
"if he was arrested just for being with a human i don't think there is much we can do." Susan replied sadly to her little sister.
"don't you get it? I'm the human she must have found out he helped me." she told us
"maybe we could call the police" Peter suggested rather dumbly
"these are the police" Susan replied holing the parchment up.
"don't worry Lu we'll figure something out." Peter promised.
"why? i mean he's a criminal" i shook my head at Edmund comment.
"no he's not he was just helping Lucy." i replied to him a bird chirped the "psst" us.
"did that bird just "psst us"?" Susan Asked it did it again and i looked at the others before heading outside. it chirped again before leaving i heard branches crack i held on to Edmund instinctively before a beaver made a appearance.
"it...it's a beaver" Lucy stated.
"here boy...here boy" Peter clicked his tongue looking at him
"I'm not going to smell it if that's what you think" we jumped it could talk a beaver just talked this is one crazy world. we laughed
"Lucy Pevensie?" Beaver questioned we all stopped as she walked forward.
"y-yes" the beaver held out a hanky.
"hey that's the hanky i gave to Mr..." she took it and was cut off.
"Tumnus yes, he got that to me before they got to him." he replied
"is he alright" Lu questioned the beaver looked around cautiously
"further in" he left Peter and Lucy went to follow him when Susan stopped them.
"what are you doing?" she stressed pulling on Peters arm.
"she's right how do we know we can trust him?" Edmund added
"he said he knew the faun" Peter replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"he's a beaver he shouldn't be saying anything." Su retorted
"everything alright?" the Beaver came back we looked to him
"yes, just talking" Pete replied not wanting to say that it was about him.
"best left for safer quarters" he left again
"he means the trees" Lu whispered , i sighed
"we might as well go, there may be something we can do to help" i suggest the nod and we follow to where the beaver was last seen. we finally caught up with him and walked through the mountains.
