"And Aslan, the Great Lion, defeated the White Witch and restored order to Narnia." Lucy said, "And the eternal winter was over and my brothers and sister and I were…"
"Crowned the Kings and Queens of Narnia." Abby finished.
"That's right," her mother said, tucking her into bed.
"I like that story, Mommy," said Abby.
"I'm glad you like it, honey, now go to sleep. You have school tomorrow,"said Lucy.
"Okay," said Abby, yawning a little, "Good night, Mommy."
"Good night," Lucy said, turning off the light as she left the room.
A few minutes later, Abby turned to her brother in the bed next to her. He was almost sound asleep.
"Jesse," she said softly, "do you think it's true?"
"Do I think what's true?" asked Jesse.
"What Mommy was telling us. About Narnia and the White Witch," she answered.
" It was just a story, Abby, I mean, just think about it, a land where animals can talk, the king is a lion, and it's always winter. It's just not possible. I suppose next you'll be asking me if flying monkeys are real." Jesse said.
"But what if it is true?" Abby wondered, "what if we could just open the closet and go there right now?"
"I don't know about that." Jesse replied, "just try to go to sleep, okay?"
"All right," said Abby.
But she couldn't get to sleep. She was still thinking about Narnia and wishing she could be there.
So, she waited for a while until her brother was asleep and crept over to the closet in their room. After opening the door and pushing aside a few of the jackets and other clothes, Abby couldn't believe what she saw. It looked like a scene from a painting. It was a field covered in snow and surrounded by a small grove of trees.
"Could this be Narnia?," she thought to herself.
She then heard a sound like the faint crunching of snow that seemed to be gradually growing louder; as if someone was walking towards her. Abby didn't know what to do.
"Hello?" she called. There was no answer. "Is someone there?"
