Chapter 1: The Storms Roar

"Lucy you've been staring out of that window for the past hour, come and have some food."

Lucy looked up at her eldest brother with a smile even though her eyes still held a far off look.

"I'll be down now Peter."

He nodded and walked to the dining room where is younger brother, sister and cousin sat. Susan looked up from setting down the food.

"Is she coming?"

Peter nodded; as he sat down he leaned on his one hand.

"Do you think we should talk to her?"

Edmund looked up.

"Talk to who?"

Peter gave him a withering look.

"Lucy of course, all she does is stare out of that window."

"She misses Narnia is all...we all do." Replied Edmund.

Peter nodded again.

"I know but it's been two years, we've all moved on."

"Some of us more than others." Muttered Edmund glancing at Susan.

"Edmund!"

"What has he done now?" asked Lucy as she walked in and sat next to Peter.

"Nothing, he's just being his usual self." Said Peter, forcing a smile. Lucy nodded and started eating. The rest of them exchanged glances and Susan kicked Peter under the table to make him talk. He coughed to clear his throat.

"Lu." He started.

"Yeah?" she asked looking up at him.

"Well, we all are slightly worried Lu. You haven't been the same old Lu for a while now."

Lucy laughed.

"Don't be silly Peter; of course I'm the same old Lucy."

"Yes but all you do is star into space and daydream, we know you miss Narnia Lucy but..."

"But it's time you moved on." Interrupted Susan, Lucy narrowed her eyes slightly.

"You want me to forget about Narnia."

They all looked at each other again except Eustace who had found some interest with his potatoes and was staring at them, sensing an argument brewing.

"Not forget Lu, just move on." Explained Peter.

Lucy stood quickly, knocking over her chair to the floor with a bang.

"Lucy..." started Peter.

"Don't Lucy me! You want me to forget any of it happened, that Aslan, the Narnians," she glared at Susan, "that Caspian had never existed!"

Lucy moved away from her family, ignoring their calls as she ran from the room and out of her Aunt's house and into the garden.

She knew it was going to happen eventually, that she'd have to leave all her memories of Narnia behind her and live a normal boring life. Lucy missed the adventure of exploring Narnian lands with her siblings and friends. She slowed to a stop by an old oak tree, and leaned against it closing her eyes.

Oh Aslan, why did I leave Narnia?

Sighing quietly she opened her eyes and kept walking, kicking at stones on the siblings annoyed her far too much at times. Ever since she, Edmund and Eustace had returned from Narnia, it was as if every Narnian thought was to be purged from her mind. Edmund had stopped talking about it after their first week back home and Eustace only talked about it occasionally.

Lucy sat outside for the next few hours remembering all her good times she spent in Narnia. She missed everyone terribly especially Aslan, Mr Tumnus and Caspian. Even though she had never said, Lucy had a slight crush on Caspian ever since their voyage on the Dawn Treader. Just as Caspians face appeared in her her head something hit Lucy face and rolled down her cheek causing her to jump in surprise, she watched as the now overcast skies opened and droplets of water fell around her. Hurrying up from her seat she raced back to the house, Susan stood with the door already open, casting Lucy a bemused expression she handed her a towel.

"Honestly Lu, how long were you going to spend out there?"

Lucy decided to answer with a shrug as she wrung out her clothes and hair. Tutting quietly Susan walked into the drawing room leaving Lucy alone. She hurried upstairs and dressed in a set of clean, dry clothes. A flash of lightning lit up the room followed by a rumble of thunder making her shiver. As she finished changing there was a knock at the door and Edmund came in.

"Hey Lucy, we're all having a game of chess, do you want to join us?"

"Yes, I'll be down ..." she was cut off as a loud creaking noise filled the room followed by a deafening snap.

"What was that?" Edmund said loudly moving towards the window, peering out of it he watched in horror as the tree that stood outside the house slowly started falling towards the room. Within a split second he had grabbed a bewildered Lucy and was pulling her out of the room and down the stairs yelling as he went.

"Peter! Get everyone out of the house now!"

As they got to the bottom of the stairs a crash was heard and the ceiling above the caved slightly as the weight of the tree bowed the house. Peter, Susan and Eustace ran into the hallway nearly colliding with Edmund and Lucy.

"What's happening?" asked Peter.

"The tree it's fallen onto the house." Explained Edmund quickly, still pulling Lucy through the house towards the front door. The rest followed quickly, swiftly stepping over fallen furniture and debris. They neared the front door just as another cracking noise sounded above their heads, they all paused looking up, the ceiling had cracked and was falling towards them. The all threw themselves away from the oncoming pile of wood and stone. Peter and Edmund threw themselves over Susan and Lucy as broken stone and wood splinters were thrown over them. After a few moments of silence they raised their heads, coughing from the dust that had stared settling around them. Peter stood quickly checking everyone was alright.

"We need to get out."

Edmund stood helping Lucy and Eustace up.

"That's an excellent idea Peter," said Eustace "but the doors not there!"

They all turned to where the door would usually have been but were met with a huge pile of timbers beams.

Oh God Aslan, please help us.

Lucy and Susan watched as the boys started pulling at stones and wood in a hope to find a way out but as they dislodged different pieces of the fallen building more seemed to fall in their place. Susan stepped forward.

"Pete, are we stuck here?" her voice shook as she spoke betraying the apparent bravery in her voice.

Rubbing his hands over his face he looked around them.

"I...I don't know Su, I really don't."

With that Susan sunk to the floor, panic evident on her face. Lucy kneeled next to her elder sister wrapping her arms around her shoulders.

"Don't worry Su, someone will come and rescue us." But even as she spoke those words, she truly did not believe them herself. A few minutes later they were all sat in a small circle, listening to the rain beat against the broken remains of the house. Another rumble of thunder sounded making them all jump except Lucy who jerked her head up to listen again.

"Did you all hear that?"

"It's just the thunder Lucy." Said Edmund wearily.

She stood up quickly.

"No it's not! Really listen!"

They all raised their heads in an effort to hear anything that would save them. As the thunder sounded again, they all heard the roar that sounded with it.

"You have to be joking!" said Edmund also standing. "There's no chance that that's really him... is there?"

"Well, he's always saved as before hasn't he?" replied Lucy stepping towards the broken walls of the house.

"Yeah, he has but...wait Lu don't get to close to the walls...!" Edmund was cut off as there was an unearthly crack above Lucy's head and the whole ceiling crumbled down on top of her. Susan's scream was joined by another roar as a white haze covered their vision and the house disappeared from their view.
