Chapter 1- The Sweet Escape

The worried, creased face of my professor was the first thing I saw when I was roughly shook awake. He was acting jittering, looking behind him, franticly.

"Your highness, your highness" whispered Professor Cornelius, he took his hands off my shoulders and ran to my wardrobe. He flung it open and took out a dark-purple riding cloak. I was confused. It was early morning. Why would I need my riding cloak at this time?

"Professor, what are you doing? What's happening?" I demanded, lowering my voice to match his. I got out of my four-poster bed, crossing over my majestic room, walking over to him. He was by my vanity now, kneeling on the floor. He was patting up the leg of my vanity. He let out a happy sigh and he pressed into the wood.

My jaw dropped when the vanity swung open, backwards. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the dark, concealed passage-way behind the vanity. I questioned him, panic evident in my voice, again but this time he answered my questions.

"Your aunt has had her child. It is a boy. Miraz will kill you if we don't escape" he replied as we ran down some stone stairs. He handed me my riding cloak and I hastened to put it on. I froze as I remembered something.

"Caspian! We need to help Caspian" I squealed as I started to run back up the stairs. Professor Cornelius pulled me back and continued running down the stairs. I hesitantly followed him.

"Your brother is already safe. I sent him into the forest merely two minutes ago. He was about to become king. He was in the most danger. But now that he's gone you would become queen. Miraz would kill you too" he explained as the passage ended in the stables.

"Kill me? But I'm only twelve" I protested as he dragged me towards my horse, Isis. She was already saddled for my escape. My professor helped me mount her. When I was placed on the horse, he said "That wouldn't stop Miraz. Head for the forest. I sent Caspian there too. Be safe. May Aslan bless you, Princess Isobel".

With that farewell, he tapped my horse and Isis started cantering towards the forest in the cold moonlight.
