Drinian ordered two longboats to descend from the Dawn Treader, the landing party making it to the Lone Islands without any issue, Caspian being the first to get off the boat, helping Lucy and Edmund off first, being that Hilaria was looking around.
"Listen" Hilaria said, standing up
Everyone went quiet, looking at Hilaria in confusion,
"Where is everyone?" Lucy asked, knowing what her dear friend was getting at
"Come on, jelly legs" Reepicheep teased, holding out a hand/paw to Eustace
"I'm capable of doing it myself" Eustace said stubbornly "Oof!" tripping over a step and falling
"And you're certain he's related by blood?" Hilaria asked lowly
Caspian grasped her by the waist, causing her to grasp his upper arms as he easily lifted her from the longboat as if she weighed nothing, gently setting her back on her feet, a wave if energy flowing through her now that she made contact with solid ground, a small smile forming on her lips as he placed a soft kiss to her cheek, squeezing her waist slightly before letting go. Hilaria removed her bow from the strap of her waist, an arrow following from her quiver, readying her weapon, just as Caspian removed his sword from his sheath,
"Reepicheep, stay here with Drinian's men and secure the place" Caspian ordered "we'll head on. If we don't come back by dawn, send a party"
"Yes, your Majesty" Reepicheep replied with a nod
The Lone Islands looked as if it were a small town, houses made of wood and mud, and to Hilaria, they all looked as if they were completely empty. Caspian, Hilaria, Lucy, Edmund and Eustace slowly made their way through the small town, and the second Hilaria's feet touched the ground, she felt that something was wrong. Kneeling down, Hilaria held her bow and arrow with one hand, the other softly touching the dirt, letting it fall through her fingers, shaking her head slightly, muttering to herself as she stood straight.
"Something isn't right" Hilaria said softly,
"Yeah, looks like nobody is in" Eustace said, looking at the others "do you think we should head back?" pointing in the direction of the longboats
Caspian and Edmund looked at each other, a small sigh emitting from Hilaria, looking at the young boy,
"Do you want to come here and guard . . . something?" Edmund asked him
"Ah, yes. Good idea, cousin" Eustace replied, making his way over to them "very, uh . . . logical"
Caspian let out a small sigh through his nose, looking at Hilaria, who shrugged her shoulders slightly, causing him to remove a dagger from the strap around his waist, holding it out to Eustace, who hesitantly took it,
"I've got it. I've got it" he said as the others began to head inside the building "don't worry" causing Caspian to look back at him
The building they entered was dark, but not enough to where they couldn't see, Caspian wanting his love close by at all times, not trusting the place either,
"Uh, I'm ready to go when you are" Eustace said from the door, his voice echoing throughout the room they were in
"Who are all these people?" Lucy asked as she looked at a table, which held pictures of different people
"Why have they been crossed out?" Edmund asked, looking at others
"It looks like some kind of fee" Caspian said, causing Hilaria to look at him
". . . Slave traders" she said
A sudden scream filled their ears, slave traders coming out from the shadows
