BEDROOM - NIGHT

Prunaprismia screamed as she gave birth. Her baby was placed in her arms and she hugged her newborn child.

Glozelle walked outside to where Miraz was looking out the window and said, "Lord Miraz, you have a son."

"The heavens have blessed us," Miraz replied. "You know your orders, General Glozelle."

"Yes, my lord."

HALLWAY

A Telmarine solder paced the hallway. A cloaked figure quietly snuck into a bedroom and pulled the drapes away.

CASPIAN'S BEDCHAMBERS

A figure placed their hand over Caspian's mouth and his eyes shot open. He instantly relaxed, seeing Cornelius. "Five more minutes," he muttered.

Cornelius shook his head. "You won't be watching the stars tonight, my prince. Come, we must hurry."

He pulled Caspian from his bed and to the wardrobe in the corner of my room. "Professor, what is going on?"

"Your aunt has given birth... to a son," he informed.

Cornelius hid in the wardrobe and Caspian followed. He left the door open a crack, so he could see what was going on. Glozelle and his men surrounded Caspian's bed and started firing arrows before they saw that the bed was empty.

Cara, who had overheard the yelling and shooting, snuck into Caspian's room and asked, "What's the matter?"

Cornelius met her eyes. "Your aunt has birthed a son. Your brother cannot stay here lest he be killed."

"I'm coming with you."

Caspian shook his head. "No, Cara. It's too dangerous."

She crossed her arms. "I refuse to live under our uncle's tyrannical rule any longer. I'm coming."

He let out a frustrated sigh. "Very well. We can't waste any time."

Seeing a chance of escape, Cornelius, Cara and Caspian ran down a winding staircase. Caspian grabbed a sword and climbed onto his horse, Destier, then pulled Cara up. "You must make for the woods."

"The woods?" Caspian and Cara repeated.

Doctor Cornelius nodded. "They won't follow you there."

He handed Caspian a wrapped object. "It has taken me many years to find it. Do not use it except at your greatest need."

"Will Cara and I ever see you again?" Caspian asked in a strained voice.

"I hope so, my dear prince and princess. There is so much I meant to tell you two. Everything you two know is about to change."

They heard something and Doctor Cornelius yelled, "Now go!"

Caspian and Cara rode off through the courtyard and accidentally knocked over a soldier. They crossed the bridge and glanced back, seeing fireworks celebrating the birth of their cousin.

A Telmariner crier said, "Prunaprismia has blessed Lord Miraz with a son!"

The Telmarine soldiers on horses pursued Caspian and Cara. They rode into the woods and didn't hear them.

Glozelle entered the woods, but the others hesitated, staring up at the trees. Glozelle rode back to them and asked, "Which of you superstitious old women would like to spend the night in a cell?"

Eventually, they entered the woods, and Caspian and Cara crossed a river. One of the soldiers was washed away in the water. Caspian and Cara glanced back, but didn't see them. As soon as they faced forward, he hit a tree branch and was knocked off of his horse. Cara managed to stay on. Caspian was dragged through the leaves due to his foot being caught in the stirrup. Caspian managed to release his foot after a struggle and laid on the ground for awhile before sitting up. Cara sat next to him, making sure he was all right. A door opened up and a couple dwarves stepped out.
