Emily stood up and went to find them. She had to tell them everything. She found Susan and Lucy down by the river, playing in the water. Lucy saw her and waved.
"Emily!" she shouted. "Come and join us!"
Emily waved back. "I'm coming!" she called.
While Lucy hadn't been watching, Susan splashed her and Lucy laughed and turned around quickly, splashing back. Emily ran down to them, and got splashed by Lucy, who was closest. Emily laughed and splashed back. After splashing each other for a while, the three girls waded across to the far bank where a few towels were hanging up on the branches of a tree.
Susan reached out and pulled one of the towels down, only to find Maugrim; snarling at her. All three girls screamed.
"Please don't try to run," Maugrim growled. "We're tired, and prefer to kill you quickly." Another wolf came out of where he had been hiding.
Susan glanced at Lucy and Emily and then threw the towel into the wolf's face.
Emily grabbed Susan's horn and tossed it to her. Lucy had jumped back and was running over to a tree. Emily helped Lucy climb up and then she climbed up after her. Susan blew the horn and then she too climbed into the tree.
