CH. 7 (Night Raid)

I was carried by a Griffin on his back, where as Edmund was being carried with the Griffin's talons. "Did I have to be paired with Edmund again?" I asked myself, the Griffin dropped us on a watch tower while taking the guard who was there with him, I took our my precious war horn to blow but Edmund had stopped me. "That'll wake everyone! We'll use this." Edmund held up a mysterious metal item, I was about to touch it when Edmund pressed a button to make it emit light, I almost shrieked because of it. "Don't worry, it's just a torch." Edmund laughed, I was confused, scared and amazed...

After a few minutes of signaling the Narnians from afar Edmund leaned against the tower barriers while playing catch with his torch, I smiled with amusement  to see him do so. "What?" Ed asked. "Nothing." I replied playfully, Edmund kept playing catch with his torch to the point that he dropped it down the tower... We ran down the tower to retrieve it but a Telmarine guard was holding it. The confused guard turned on the torch by accident and started waving it around. "Isn't that gonna confuse the Narnians?" I whispered to Edmund...

(Glenstorm's POV)
I stood there with confusion and confused Narnian warriors behind me. The light was being waved around. I looked down at Nikabrick thinking that he knew what it meant. "What's that supposed to mean?" He asked...

(Aurora's POV)
I took a deep breath and tackled the guard down to knock him out, Ed took his torch back... But it ended up with two Telmarines soldiers charging towards us. Edmund took out my sword and I took out mine, we started fighting the soldiers. "Edmund, signal the troops!" Peter yelled from below. "We're both really busy, Pete!" Edmund responded, the soldier who I was fighting managed to fall over the barrier of the tower, and Ed knocked the soldier that he was fighting with his torch. He groaned thinking that he broke it, Edmund started hitting his torch on his palm, oh, well... All the soldiers were already awake, might as well blow my horn. But Edmund beat me to signaling the Narnians, I sighed with annoyance and shoved my horn back in my belt. The Narnian warriors entered the castle as I hit my hands on the barrier with excitement. 

Edmund must have heard some Telmarine soldiers coming, he grabbed my hand and pulled me up on a roof, a group of Telmarine archers lined up below us and aimed their crossbows. Edmund slid down first, which made one of the archers fall off the tower. I slid down after him then he dragged me inside the tower so we could avoid the arrows. "C'mon!" I yelled, I got up and dragged Edmund to the next tower roof. I locked the door behind us with my dagger.  We watched as the fight progressed below us. "Fall back!" Peter screamed, most of the Narnians didn't hear it, so once again, I took this as an opportunity to use my horn. I smirked at Edmund, he sighed and rolled his eyes. I took a deep breath, I was about to blow my horn when the Telmarines broke the door down and scared me, which made me drop my beloved horn down the tower. 

Edmund was about to take his sword out, but must have seen something by the corner of his eye. He grabbed my waist and pulled me in. "Do you trust me?" He asked, I shook my head. "No?"  "Neither do I!" Edmund made us fall off the tower, I let out a loud shriek. I opened my eyes and saw the same Griffin from earlier, I sighed with relief as we flew around the castle to distract the archers... 

The gate had fallen, some Narnians were still in the castle... They were killed by the Telmarines, Ed and I flew over them, tears formed in my eyes if only Caspian allowed me to fight with the Narnian army, then I could have helped...

We came back to the How, Peter and Caspian were arguing about what had happened and were about to slaughter each other. "Enough, what is done is done!" I screamed, I looked at Windmane, she gave me a "Are they okay?" look, I shook my head as we both started crying. Rainstone was left behind to die back at the Telmarine castle, Glenstorm felt devistated, he left one of his sons to die back there and couldn't do anything about it...

That morning, Windmane and Glenstorm were arguing. "I thought you said that you wouldn't let any of our sons die!"   "I couldn't do anything about the gate!"

Was that what family was like?

(A/N)
So... I couldn't find a photo of Ironhoof looking sad about his brother dying so... There he is... looking confident before the night raid...
