Guardians of the Wardrobe
Chapter 1:

The train ride was long. They were said to travel for almost 2 full days. Which made the 3 of them extremely bored.

"What do you want to do now?" Helena asked her friends. Helena sat upside down with her feet pressed up against the wall and her head rested on the cushion of the table booth. Her two other friends sat on the other side. Laura stared out the train window as she watched the land quickly pass by.

"I don't know we can play cards," Diane suggested. Diane was sitting beside Laura but instead Diane was sitting up straight with her hands folded neatly on the table. Diane was always the one to act as if she was a queen. Always sitting up straight with perfect manners and a perfect posture. Diane acted as if she was a mother and Laura and Helena were her children.

"We played cards not even an hour ago" Helena complained.

"Why do we even have to be on this stupid train anyways?" Helena said putting her legs down and sitting normally.

"Because our parents got transferred," Diane said stating the obvious.

"I know that but I liked living in Italy..." Helena whined.

"Why couldn't they just get new jobs or something? I mean.."

"Stop being ungrateful okay you know work is hard to find these days... They got transferred so we have to move that's that" Diane cut her off. Diane hated it when Helena acted ungrateful it made her seem like a brat.

"I'm sorry... I know they work hard but... It's just unfair how we get dragged into this.. With all the moving we barely have a normal life anymore..." Helena was right. The three of them moved more then anymore which caused them to always be behind in school. Also it made them never have any friends at school because they always knew that they weren't staying long. Helena didn't mind because all she ever needed was Laura and Diane. She hated to admit it but she was fine just being even by herself as long as she had her brother George. At first Helena didn't have any friends until she met Laura in kindergarten. Before that Helena preferred being alone. Every time they started liking a place they would end up moving and starting all over again.

"Where are we even going this time?" Laura asked. Laura stopped looking out the window and faced her friends.

"I don't know my mother wouldn't say.." Helena stated.

"Neither did mine.." Diane said quickly after. The sat in silence for a while until George stumbled through the train door.

"Mum said to tell you you'll be arriving soon," George said facing Helena. George was two years older then Helena and the girls. George and Helena didn't get along at all as kids but as they grew older they also grew closer.

"Ok thanks George" Helena said motioning her brother away. George and Helena resembled their mother. They both had dark blond hair and the same emerald green eyes. They're also were differences to them as well. Helena had darker hair then her brother. She has sandy blonde hair and her brother had more of a golden blonde like the sun. While her hair was wavy with slight curls her brothers was short and straight. George always styled his hair to the side. George also had a defined face like his father. His features stood out in particularly his cheekbones. George didn't smile often as for Helena, she smiled constantly. George had a sarcastic way to talking that had rubbed off on his sister a bit.

George left the room shortly after telling his sister the news. The room went back to being silent. Helena glanced around the room. The train had been different then the ones that she'd usually been on. The section of the train that the girls had been assigned to was a perfect size. On the far right way were three single beds spread out. And on the other side was a kitchen cabinets and the table booth, which they usually sat in. The bathroom had been in the room next to them. Helena looked back at her friends and noticed that Diane went back to reading the book she had been reading before and Laura was staring out the window again.

"Why do you constantly look out the window?" Helena said gesturing Laura's attention.

"Maybe there will be a sign of where we are going" Laura said irritated looking back at Helena. When Laura looked back at the window she saw nothing. Everything went pitch black out the window.

"Maybe we're in a tunnel?" Laura questioned. Helena moved closer to the window.

"Tunnels always have lights inside them..." Helena stated.

"Maybe the lights just don't work" Laura said. Helena felt odd. Tunnels always had lights if they didn't you would be heading into something pitch black which was unsafe. Suddenly the pitch black ended. The girls covered their eyes from the light. Their eyes finally adjusted and they gasped.

"Its beautiful..." Laura stated. They looked out the window to see a beautiful snowy meadow and a frozen lake. It was like none they've seen before. Shortly the train headed through the forest. All the trees had been covered in a fresh blanket of snow. All three of them couldn't get enough of the sight. The train suddenly jerked to a stop as the pulled up to a station.

"Ugh why did it have be snow?" Diane complained. Laura and Helena laughed. "Why couldn't it be warm and sunny or a tropical place" Diane muttered.

"We're here!" Laura chirped. They all ran to the other room to find there parents had their suitcases and were headed off the train.

"Mum where are we?" Diane asked as the three headed toward Diane's mother. Diane resembled her father more then her mother. Unfortunately her father passed away a while back and as for Laura's father he simple just left which was hard on her mother. Diane's mother was a strong confident woman unlike Laura's mother. Laura's mother was a small petite lady who looked as sweet as anyone could be. As for Diane's mother who looked as if she would kill you where you stand if you cross her. Diane's mother was tall and always stood up straight. She had short red hair and brown eyes. As for Diane who had long curly brown hair and ice blue eyes. Her mother didn't answer and simple walked away toward Helena's parents who were having a heated conversation with Laura's mother. They all walked toward Helena's parents.

"That's the thing isn't it... You don't know where we are do you?" Helena said looking at her parents. Her mother looked at her father. Her father looked at the ground and nodded.

"I'm sorry I don't know what happened," he whispered.

"It's fine what matters is what are we going to do now..." Laura's mother said. Laura's mother had short black hair that hung just before her shoulders and brown eyes. Laura had the same brown eyes as her mother but her mother had curly hair and Laura had jet-black straight hair that fell down to her waist.

"We will find jobs and homes just like always... And we will figure out where we are and when we have enough money move to some where more familiar or back to Italy" Helena's father ordered. Helena's mother and father walked off down the trail with Laura's and Diane's mother close behind. Just after them George walked with all the bags. Helena turned around to face Diane and Nellie who looked concerned and shocked.

"What?" Helena asked.

"What are we going to do?" Diane said starting to panic.

"They don't even know where we are" she started to ramble on and on about worst-case cinereous while pacing back and forth. As for Laura well she just stood there frozen and silent and shocked.

"What is it Laura?" Helena asked as Diane continued to ramble.

"We got off a train station... That had train tracks," Laura whispered.

"Yea so?" Helena stated. What was Laura so panicked about? She looked almost frightened.

"Helena where is the station..." Laura question. Helena thought she was silly.

"Its right..." Helena said about to point behind Laura but when she lifted her head she realized what Laura had meant.

"Oh my God!" Helena muttered. Helena looked up straight into open wood. There was no station or train tracks. They simple disappeared.
