Stepping In To Meet Someone New

A.N. This is a story for my friend Kaee on her video 'Nothing and Everything' and I'm now extending it. This is going to be longer and have a lot more details of the story. Enjoy.

Lucy walked into a room with carvings on the walls, one window and wardrobe at the end of the room. She looked at the carvings; they were lions, swords and shields. Lucy stepped towards the wardrobe and turned the knob. The door open and she looked inside. 'Why am I so curious to step into a wardrobe?'

Lucy inhaled and stepped inside but didn't close the door all the way. She felt the coats as she walked further from the door then felt something prick her hand. Lucy turned and saw a forest covered in snow. She walked through the forest until she noticed a lamp post. She heard rustling in the trees and hid behind it. Lucy saw a boy fall from the bushes and gasped of shock. The boy sat up slightly and looked around until he saw Lucy. He stood up and smiled a little.

"Hello, I'm Edmund Pevensie." The boy said to Lucy as he walked towards her. He'd never seen a girl with such beauty. Her eyes, her hair, her lips and her nose, even other little things about her made him smile.

"Hello, I'm Lucy Bright." Lucy put out her hand for Edmund to shake it. Lucy smiled as well when she saw him. Edmund shook Lucy's hand but was too busy looking into Lucy's eyes to notice how long he was holding her hand until Lucy cleared her throat.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Edmund said pulling his hand away and blushing a little, which made Lucy giggle. Edmund looked over at the two hills side by side where his house is.

"What are you looking at?" Lucy looked at were Edmund was looking but couldn't see anything. Edmund shook his head, blinked a few times and looked back at Lucy.

"Hey I was wondering if you wanted to go somewhere with me." Edmund said grabbing Lucy's wrist and leading her to his home.

They walked down steep hills, slippy rocks and deep, thick snow to get to his home. It made the trip longer but Lucy thought that the trip was worth it once she saw the house that looked like a beautiful ice sculpture. Lucy was in awe of the house that Edmund lived in. She thought he would have had to be rich to get this house but thought that not many people would have lived here. They walked through the doors and Lucy saw the inside. The wall, the chairs and the tables were all ice. A beautiful place though she wouldn't want to live here. She shivered and saw her breath.

Edmund heard a noise coming from upstairs that made him jump. He tried to hide Lucy but he saw his mother walk down the stairs.

"Who is this, Edmund?" His mother pointed to Lucy and looked at Edmund as though she was disappointed and angry that he brought her here.

Edmund began to stutter. "H-her name is L-Lucy. I met her in the woods and invited her here." He grew scared because he knew what she could do. His mother call for someone named Maugrim into the room. Lucy had wondered who this Maugrim was and when she saw a wolf walk in a pounce on her she knew.

Edmund's mother told Maugrim to kill Lucy but Edmund stepped in front his mum.

"Don't kill her, please. If you let her live hell can have her. Just don't let her be killed." Edmund started sobbing.

"Very well. The girl lives but she will die one day and when she does hell will get her. And even you can't stop that." An evil smile appeared on her face as Maugrim stepped off Lucy and walked to Edmund's mother.

Lucy had heard what Edmund said about hell having her. She felt something that was new to her, as though someone had ripped her heart out and played it like a toy. Her eyes filled with tears as she sat up.

Edmund saw that what he said was wrong but knew if he tried to apologise she would just break his heart even more than it is.

Lucy stood up and ran out of the palace to a place with ice. She sat down on the ice and put her head in between her knees and started crying. She heard a crack in the ice and looked around to see the ice cracking away. Icebergs were floating up the stream into some rapids. The water was drawing closer to her and she was too shocked to move. The very iceberg Lucy was sitting on was toppled by water from behind her. She went under several times and coughed up and swallowed a lot of water. Her eyes grew wide seeing the dangerous rapids ahead of her. Lucy closed her eyes and rested her head on the iceberg.

She felt herself being pulled out of the water. She coughed more water up and opened her eyes to see Edmund kneeling down next to her. They both did nothing but smile at each other for a few moments that seemed to last forever. They hugged for longer because they both wanted it to last.

"What are you doing here?" Edmund helped Lucy up and put her hair behind her ear.

"Edmund, you bought me here. What you said hurt me. I can't bare that anymore." Lucy looked away from Edmund, but he turned her face so she could see him.

"I was wondering if you wanted to be my girlfriend." Edmund grabbed Lucy's hand and smiled at Lucy again.

"Yes. I will." Lucy filled with joy when he asked her. Edmund smiled and also filled with joy, so much joy that he leaned in slowly and kissed Lucy. He put his arm around Lucy and she put her hands on his neck.
