Elena Caspian's eyes lock with mine through the window. His lips curl into a snarl. He takes a step toward the cabin. I grab my knife. I wake Ray. "He is here," I whisper. "Caspian is here." Ray is on his feet. His sword is drawn. "Stay behind me," he says. The door splinters open. Caspian stands there, his yellow eyes blazing. He is in human form, his body covered in scars. His clothes are torn. His face is twisted with rage. "I have waited ten years for this," he growls. "Ten years of watching you from the shadows. Ten years of planning." Ray steps forward. "You will not touch her." "Then stop me." They fight. Ray's sword flashes. Caspian dodges. He is fast, strong. But Ray is faster. Ray's blade finds Caspian's side. Caspian roars. He stumbles. Ray's sword is at his throat. "
