LUCY
You look like mum.

Susan feels the fabric between her fingers.

SUSAN
Mum hasn't had a dress like this since before the war.

LUCY
We should bring her one back. A whole trunk full!

SUSAN
If we ever get back...

Lucy frowns. Susan stops herself.

SUSAN (cont´d)
I'm sorry I'm like that.

She smiles tightly.

SUSAN (cont´d)
We used to have fun together, didn't we?

LUCY
Yes...
(teasing)
Before you got boring.

SUSAN
Oh really?

A mischievous look crosses her face and she SPLASHES LUCY.

Lucy beams and splashes back. The girls fall into a water fight, splashing and laughing.

Still laughing SUSAN REACHES FOR A NEARBY TOWEL hanging over a bush. As she lifts it she reveals

MAUGRIM. HE JUMPS FROM THE BUSH GROWLING.

The girls spin to find...VARDAN CIRCLING from the other side.

MAUGRIM
Please don't try to run. We're tired...

VARDAN
And we'd prefer to kill you quickly.

Susan backs up. Lucy's eyes swivel to her sister, terrified.

Susan's hand goes to her dress. THE HORN'S NOT THERE. She looks across to HER OLD SKIRT...AND THE HORN.

Vardan advances, baring his yellow teeth.

Susan nods to Lucy. Lucy throws a handful of river pebbles in Maugrim's face. He staggers back.

Susan runs. Maugrim peels after her.

She snatches up the horn and fumbles it to her lips.

MAUGRIM CLOSES IN.

96 EXT. ASLAN'S CAMP, KNOLL - DAY
Peter and Aslan walk down the hill toward the camp.

Suddenly, A HORN BLAST SHAKES THE AIR. Peter freezes.

PETER
Susan!

HE TAKES OFF DOWN THE HILL.

97 EXT. ASLAN'S CAMP, RIVER - LATE AFTERNOON
LUCY clings to the trunk of a tree, reaching down for SUSAN, who hangs from a lower branch.

MAUGRIM and VARDAN snap at her feet. A torn piece of Susan's robe hangs from Maugrim's teeth.

PETER RUSHES IN, SWORD DRAWN. Maugrim sees Peter and grins.

PETER
Get back!

LUCY
PETER!

Vardan snarls.

Maugrim circles Peter.

MAUGRIM
Come on, we've already been though this. We both know you haven't got it in you.

SUSAN
Peter, watch out!

Peter grasps his sword. Maugrim snaps his jaws.

Aslan, Oreius and his men arrive.

ASLAN LEAPS AND PINS VARDAN TO THE GROUND WITH A PAW.

Oreius pulls his weapon. Aslan checks him with a growl.

ASLAN
No! Stay your weapons. This is Peter's battle.

MAUGRIM
You may think you're a King. But you're going to die like a dog.

HE LEAPS, ALL TEETH. Peter cringes, gripping his blade. A blur of activity. THE WOLF FALLS UPON THE BOY.

LUCY
Peter!

They roll on the ground and then... LIE STILL.

EVERYONE STARES.

Suddenly, Peter shoves Maugrim off. The wolf flops over, PETER'S SWORD STILL BURIED IN HIM.

Susan and Lucy climb down and run to join Aslan where Peter stares at the lifeless wolf.

Lucy and Susan throw their arms around Peter.

Peter smiles.

Aslan lifts his paw from Vardan who seizes the moment and makes a break for it. The wolf flees into the forest.

ASLAN
After him. He'll lead you to Edmund.

Oreius gallops off, followed by a squad of the fastest.

ASLAN (cont´d)
Peter.

Peter turns to Aslan.

ASLAN (cont´d)
Clean your sword.

The girls step back as Peter goes down on one knee, confused. Aslan rests his paw on the boy's head.

ASLAN (cont´d)
Rise, Sir Peter Wolf's-Bane, Knight of Narnia.

Peter rises slowly. He nods to Aslan, then looks at his sisters, serious. He sheathes his sword.

A98 OMITTED

99 EXT. WHITE WITCH'S CAMP - NIGHT
The Witch pours over her battle plans.

GENERAL OTMIN
The minotaurs will take the left flanks. We'll keep the giants in reserve and send the dwarves in first.

SUDDENLY, THE RAGGED WOLF BURSTS INTO THE CLEARING, PASSING EDMUND AND GINARRBRIK. HE IS FOLLOWED BY OREIUS AND ASLAN'S MEN.

Witch and Otmin hear sounds of Ginarrbrik being attacked.

GENERAL OTMIN (cont´d)
The Prisoner!

The Witch whips out her wand and races for the other side of camp.

100 EXT. WHITE WITCH'S CAMP, EDMUND'S TREE - NIGHT
THE WITCH BURSTS FROM THE TREES...THEN STOPS.

THERE, GAGGED AND BOUND TO THE TREE, HANGS GINARRBRIK.

Hoof marks shred the ground beneath his feet.

EDMUND IS GONE.

For a moment, the Witch's face goes red with anger. Suddenly, it calms. She plucks up Ginarrbrik's dagger.

The dwarf's eyes go wide as she stalks forward.

She raises the dagger and...CUTS HIM FREE.

GINARRBRIK
You're not going to kill me?

She evaluates him for a while, calmly thinking.

WHITE WITCH
Not yet.

She turns to Otmin.

WHITE WITCH (cont´d)
We have work to do.

101 OMITTED

102 EXT. ASLAN'S CAMP - DAWN
Peter steps sleepily from his tent to see...

High on a ridge OREIUS DEPOSITS EDMUND WITH ASLAN

Oreius gives Peter a concerned look as he passes.

Susan and Lucy step out of their tent to find PETER, staring up at the ridge.

They follow his gaze to where...EDMUND AND ASLAN TALK ALONE.

LUCY
Edmund!

She makes to run, but Peter rests a hand on her shoulder.

They all watch as the great Lion leads the boy down the hill. Edmund follows slowly, head down, ashamed.

Finally, they reach the Pevensies.

ASLAN
What's done is done. There is no need to speak to Edmund of what is past.

Aslan leaves them with their brother. Edmund clears his throat.

EDMUND
Hello.

Lucy flings herself at him. He struggles to stay standing.

SUSAN
Are you alright?

EDMUND
I'm a little tired.

Susan breaks into a smile and hugs him.

Edmund looks up at Peter. Peter stares back, stone faced.

PETER
Get something to eat.

Peter turns towards their tent.

PETER (cont´d)
And Edmund...

Edmund looks up, hopeful.

PETER (cont´d)
Try not to wander off.

103 EXT. TENT - MORNING
Peter watches troops prepare for battle.

Susan, Lucy and Edmund eat breakfast.

LUCY
Narnia's not going to run out of toast, Ed.

Edmund smiles, his mouth full.

Peter turns to look at them.

PETER
And I'm sure they'll pack something up for the journey back.

Susan looks up from her eggs. Surprises. Suspicious.

SUSAN
We're going home?

PETER
You are. I promised Mum I'd keep you three safe. (beat) But it doesn't mean I can't stay behind and help.

LUCY
But they need us! All four of us.

PETER
Lucy, it's too dangerous. You almost drowned. Edmund was almost killed.

EDMUND
Which is why we have to stay.

Peter looks at his brother, surprised.

EDMUND (cont´d)
I've seen what the White Witch can do. And I've helped her do it.

Edmund looks back, clear-eyed.

EDMUND (cont´d)
We can't leave these people behind to suffer for it.

Lucy squeezes Edmund's hand and smiles at Peter.

SUSAN STANDS.

SUSAN
I suppose that's it then.

PETER
Where are you going?

She takes her BOW AND QUIVER from a hook.

SUSAN
To get in some practice.

104 EXT. ASLAN'S CAMP, PRACTICE GROUND - DAY
SUSAN pulls her bow tight and lets fly...NAILING THE TARGET JUST OFF CENTER. She nods with satisfaction...

UNTIL A TINY DAGGER FLIES IN AND HITS THE BULL'S EYE. Lucy smiles innocently.

Across the field, Edmund and Peter practice sword fighting on their horses.

PETER (O.S.)
Come on. En guard. Keep your sword up like Oreius showed us. Now block!

MR. BEAVER (O.S.)
Peter! Edmund!

Edmund's horse REARS to avoid crushing Beaver.

EDMUND
Whoa, Horsie.

The horse rolls its eyes.

BROWN HORSE
My name is Philip.

EDMUND
Oh, sorry.

MR. BEAVER
The Witch has demanded a meeting with Aslan. She's on her way here.

Edmund looks at Peter, unsure.

SUDDENLY, HORNS ECHO ACROSS CAMP.
