we started running towards the river,just enough left frozen for us to cross over "we need to cross now" peter says urgently

"don't beavers make dams?" lucy asked "i'm not this fast dear" mr.beaver replied "come on" i say tugging on her sleeve

"wait will you just think about this for a moment?" susan asked "we dont have a minute" peter snaps

"i'm just trying to be realistic" "no,you're trying to be smart.as usual" peter tries to step down onto the ice but it breaks under neath him

"wait maybe i should go first" mr.beaver suggests "maybe you should" peter agrees.

mr.beaver steps onto the ice and pats his tail on it "you've been sneaking second helpings haven't you?" mrs.beaver scolds

"well you never know which meals gonna be your last,especially with your cooking" the ice cracks again

"come on we have to hurry" i tell them,peter starts to slowly walk on the ice,us following after him

"if mum knew what we were doing-" "mums not here" peter tells susan. we were about half way when lucy screamed "oh no!" we look up to see the wolves

"run!" we stating running but they got in front of us,we tried turning back but they got behind us as well,one wolf jumps on mr.beaver and peter sheathes his sword while i do the same

"put those down, someone could get hurt" maugrim tells us "don't worry about me! run him through!" mr.beaver shouts

"leave now while you can,and your brother leaves with you" such.a.liar.

"stop peter! maybe we should listen to him!" susan says "smart girl" the wolf chuckles "have you lost your bonkers? dont listen to him!" i say clenching my jaw and sending a glare towards susan

"listen to her,kill him,kill him now" mr.beaver defends me in panic "oh come on this isn't your war,all my queen wants is for you to take your family and go,but leave the girl while your at it"

"look just because some man in a red coat hands you a sword,it doesn't make you a hero just drop it!" susan is starting to get on my nerves

"peter you listen to her and we die" i tell him "peter narnia needs you gut him while you still have a chance" mr.beaver yells

"what's it gonna be son of adam? little lion? i won't wait forever and neither will the river" i grunt

"if you won't do it i will" i jerk forward but lucys scream makes me stop "peter!" i see the water break through "hold on to me" he says digging his sword into the ice,

i hurry and run to them,but just before my hand could grasp onto peter,my lungs were filled with cold water,carrying me down the river

i squirm and try to hold onto anything,eventually i gasp for air and shift,digging my claws into a block of ice,still going down the river.

i see a blotch of brown hair fly past me,i had to do a double take and notice it was lucy,

quickly letting go of the ice,i swim towards her,sucking in a breathe, i go under and tug on her shirt,lifting us both up for air,we eventually managed to get onto land and she hugs me "thank you" she whispers and i just hug back as much as i can with my big head.

releasing her from the hug i gesture my head forward saying we should look for the others and she nods,grabbing a handful of my wet,fur coat and started walking.

"lucy!? kira?!" we heard them shouting "has anyone seen my coat?" she asked as we walked up to them

"don't you worry dear,your brothers got you well looked after" mr.beaver says and i shift back into human form,immediately being crushed into a hug by susan,

once she let go her arms were replaced by peters,even though he was soaking i dug my head into the crook of his neck 

"i don't think you'll be needing those coats any more" me and peter step out of the embrace and we look to see flowers blooming on the trees,the snow disappearing,and spring coming at last.
