Chapter 1: "Back again?"
It was a cold and raining, the typical autumnal day of London. In a comfortable couch sat a young man with many books around him, a soft light illuminated his handsome face, and blond locks fell on his forehead...
His name was Peter Pevensie, also known as High King Peter the Magnificent, but that was a long time ago, actually six years ago, when he and his sisters and brother, Susan, Lucy and Edmund, had found themselves in a completely different world, called Narnia, where they ruled for fifteen years as monarchs. They had entered Narnia through a wardrobe in an old house of a certain Professor Kirke, when they spent some months there in the war time. Now, that they had come back to their own world and own ages, he was now a school boy as well as his older sister Susan, and Edmund and Lucy where finishing secondary school.
Suddenly the door of the room opened with a loud BANG! And a tall, dark haired boy came in running followed by a girl a little shorter with brown curls bouncing on her back.
-Ed! Come back here! Give me that back! - she shouted.
-I don't have anything Lucy, I don't know what are you talking about- the boy answered her, fanning himself with a book and running around the couch which a very irritated Peter was sitting on.
-ENOUGH!- Peter shouted to Edmund the Just and Lucy the Valiant - Ed, do me a favor and give that back to Lucy, Lu just stop shouting, I'm trying to study guys- he said angrily.
-I told them not to go in but they just ignored me- said a girl with dark long hair, tall, slender and with a smile on her face, entering the room. Susan the Gentle, sat on an armchair in front of the fireplace.
-Oh, come on Peter, you used to be funnier- said Lucy with a sarcastic smile on her face and sat down next to Susan.
-Lu, you don't understand, don't you see he is getting old? – answer Edmund jokingly earning a punch on his arm from Peter. - Ouch! Just kidding…- he said rubbing his arm while the girls burst out laughing.
-I'm not old; I'm just busy now- said Peter going back to his books.
They spent the next hour sitting around the fire in comfortable couches and armchairs. Susan reading a magazine, Peter finishing his essay, and Lucy and Edmund bothering each other, making Peter crazy.
But after Peter shouted at them, they all sat in silence when suddenly:
-AH! - Lucy screamed, jumping out of the armchair and startling everybody.
-What the…- Peter started saying annoyed with his sister but then he looked out the window where Lucy was pointing and fell silent, staring out with big bright eyes.
Soon all four of them where standing outside the house under the pouring rain. In front of them was what seemed to be a forest floating in middle of the air. In the other side the sun illuminated the brunches of the trees and the smell of fresh grass could be smelt from where they were standing.
-What do we do? - asked Peter looking nervously at the floating forest.
-Let's get in! Of course! - said Lucy as if it was the most stupid question she had ever heard. But as she started walking to the floating forest, Susan grabbed her from the arm stopping her.
-We are not supposed to go back; Aslan said we wouldn't go back- she said putting aside her wet hair out of her face.
-But it is here! Aslan wouldn't do this to us if he didn't want us back in Narnia!- Lucy said yanking away from her sister.
-She is right- intervened Edmund- I think we should get in and find out what's going on- he said firmly.
Peter looked to Susan who looked as if she was battling with herself. He took a tempting step to the floating forest and introduced an arm on it. As he thought, his arm didn't cross to the other side, so looking back to Susan who nod her head, he took a deep breath and went completely into the forest, Lucy followed with Edmund stick on her heels and finally by Susan.
The four of them landed loudly and when they looked back there was nothing left of the rainy Finchley part of north . They were sitting on soft grass, dripping wet but with huge smiles on their faces. Soon the smiles were replaced with loud laughter that seemed to resound in every corner of the forest. When the laughter subsided they laid down peacefully.
-Now what? - asked Edmund suddenly.
-Now… we find something to eat, 'cause I'm starving- said Peter standing up as they laughed and helping first Lucy and then Susan up.
They started walking in the forest between the trees, looking for something they could eat, until they found a path and they followed it. Maybe, with some luck it would take them to a village.
-It is very silent- observed Susan looking to the sides.
-The trees- said Lucy caressing a big willow. - Again? Is it possible? – she asked looking to her siblings.
-No- answered Edmund looking carefully around him.
-How can you be so sure? - asked Peter looking at him strangely.
-'Cause I know, as I know that we are not still in Narnia- he said starting to walk again.
-Right, and you know it because…- started saying Peter.
-Because I know Peter! I don't know how, but I know!- said Edmund annoyed.
-Sorry, it's ok, I trust you- said Peter a bit taken aback.
-Let's keeping walking I'm starting to feel hungry-intervened Susan trying to make peace as always between the two brothers and started walking along the path dragging Edmund with her.
They walked for more than an hour in complete silence... Sometimes they had to stop and help the one who had got caught in the strong branches of the trees, or help the one who had tripped on a rock or root.
They kept walking in silence for more than an hour in complete silence, until they reach the end of the path and they found themselves being dragged again into the depths of the forest. Sometimes they had to stop and help the one who had got caught in the strong brunches of the trees, or the one who had tripped with a rock or a root.
-Look! - exclaimed Susan all of sudden.
And they all looked were she was pointing. Between the trees, a little far away from them a gang of centaurs passed galloping very fast to the south.
-Hey!
-Wait!
-Over here!
But the centaurs continue galloping and they didn't listen to their shouts and calls.
-Come on! - said Edmund starting to run fast behind the centaurs.
-Edmund! - shouted Lucy behind him with Susan and Peter.
They run and shouted to the centaurs until they couldn't see them anymore and they couldn't hear their heavy hoofs against the forest's ground.
-What? They didn't even look back- said Susan very irritated and exhausted.
-We should keep walking; maybe we find them farther on- advised Lucy taking her hand.
And so they did; they walk for a quarter of an hour until Susan stopped them again.
-Did you hear that? - she asked quietly.
-Now what? – said Edmund tiredly.
She shot him a nasty look and then answer- rustling.
They made silence but at first nor Edmund nor Peter heard anything until Lucy said:
-The trees!
That's when they realized the trees were moving slowly, like dancing in step with the wind. They were like whispering, talking to each other, the voices quietly reach the siblings ears but they couldn't really understand what they were saying.
As they were intently trying to catch what the trees were saying, they missed some forms moving between the trees until it was too late…
