Hope comes in Narnia
This is my next story I'm working on. I love the movie and thought about making a story on it and it follows the story but little changes to the story so my character can fit in. Just to tell people in advanced I'm in school still so go easy on me and I will try to review ASAP. I'm working on other story too so give them a look. Yes in some of my stories I use the name Jessica because I like the name and I know someone who is named Jessica. The characters ages are Peter: 17, Susan: 16, Edmund: 13, Lucy: 9. Also this is a Peter x Oc romance
Chapter 1
My name is Jessica Dowell and I'm 16 years old and I'm 5.5 feet I have light brown hair, and I have brown eyes like my father. My personality is kind and quiet but protective of family or friends if necessary but overall nice. I live with my mother Beth and my grandmother Sophie, my father is in the war as a medic since I was 4. Ever sins the war I have always been waiting for my father to come home so I can see him again. But my grandma said something good will happen out of something bad. But I think there will be something good in my life I hope...
Jessica's POV
I look out the window as I'm drawing a picture of a bowl of fruit sitting on the table close to me. I'm still waiting for the day my father will come home because mum is still sad the day he left. I then hear sirens go off and I'm on my feet in an instant running to find my mother and grandmother. I then see my mother running down the stairs with my grandmother close behind her. Then the house shakes and a few glass objects fall and shatter as I try to stay on my feet. My mother grabs my hand and leads my grandmother and me to the back door to the bomb shelter. I hold the sketchbook close to me because it was a birthday present my Father gave to me on my 4 birthday before he left. As we exit our home I look up to see a bunch of war planes go over our heads and I can only watch in horror as I see them dropping bombs. I focus on the task at hand at getting to the shelter with my family. When we are in the shelter I go to the far corner with my grandmother and sit as I watch mum put the locks the door. I listen to what's happening from inside the shelter as I hold the book closer to be wishing that dad were here.
As things start to quiet down I settle in for bed but before I can do so mum comes over to me while grandma turns in her chair. "Jessica sweetie I need to talk to you" she said quietly as she sits at the end of the bed. I look at her calmly as she continues. "Grandma and I have been talking lately about you" she starts as I sit on the bed "we are going to send you to a friend of mine". I look at her as she takes my hand "I know you want to stay but we are worried for you" she said with watery eyes. "But it's only until the war is over and he's a nice man" mum says while trying not to cry as I hug her ho help her. I look at mum and grandma as I try my hardest not to cry I look mum knowing what I have to do. I nod my head to mum as she smiles with teary eyes. Then my grandma comes over and says to me "you strong girl I know you will have fun and there will be other children there to". I smile at her wise words of hope as my mum rubs my hands to comfort me as I fall asleep.
The next morning I change into a while wool sweater and a gray skirt with a pair of brown loafers. I pack some things like my drawing book and a few colored pencils, a white night gown and a gray housecoat, and a few extra cloths. Me and my family walk out the door of the shelter and find the neighbors house in flames and most of the houses on our block destroyed, our house was still there but part of the house was blown apart and the windows were broken. I take one last look at the house I grew up in as we walk away from it to the train station. The nearest train station was not far from our house so we were there in a mater of minutes. When in the station it was packed tight my mum bought a ticket to get me on the train and we walked a little ways. We came to a stop as she put the around my wrist and gave me a hug and she kissed my forehead. "You be a good girl Jess alright and listen to what Professor Kirke says" mum says as she gives me one last hug. Next my grandmother comes up to my and gives me a hug and kiss on the cheek and says a few encouraging words. Before I can leave to go on the train mum stops me and gives me a small package and whispers "I love you". When on the train I look out the window and wave good bye to my mum and grandmother as they leave saying goodbyes. I go to the back of the train and find a empty compartment and put my baggage up top and sit down with the package in my hand. I open it to find a silver locket heart and I don't know what to say I mean this must have cost a fortune. I open it up to find a picture of my mum and grandmother smiling and I put it on knowing I will have a piece of home with me. I also noticed a small letter and quickly open it and it read.
To my lovely daughter Jessica you are the world to me you are the reason I still have hope, I wish I was there with you to see you now. I know you miss me to because the clouds cry it, and I am still hoping to come home and see you and mum safe. I will be home I promise you that and I love you and mum so much. Also remember that no mater where I am I'm always watching you and for you to never give up hope. Love dad.
I feel tears of joy running freely from my eyes, my dad was alive and he promises to come home. I now hade my whole family there with me and they were watching over me, maybe thing will turn out good after all.
End POV
After a while the train started and moved slowly as out the window families were saying goodbye to their loved ones. Some were crying and some were waving but Jessica knew she didn't need to say goodbye to her family, because they were here with her.
Before long Jessica's stop came up and she grabbed her bags and headed to the nearest exit. When she got off she was the only one there and she waited for a Mrs. Macready (Jessica was on an earlier train before the others).
After what seemed like an hour a woman dressed in a brown coat and a long light gray skirt with her hair in a really tight bun under a brown hat, pulled up to her in a cart pulled by a white horses. "Are you Mrs. Macready" Jessica asked in a clam voice? " I'm afraid so... Is this it then" she said in a stern calm voice? Jessica nodded and got on the cart with her baggage as the cart moved forward. "What's your name miss" she said in her stern voice making Jessica feel uncomfortable. "Jessica Dowell" replied Jessica calmly making sure not to make this woman mad.
Jessica watched as they approached a mansion down the dirt road surrounded by trees. Once they were there Jessica got off and followed Mrs. Macready through the place while saying what not to do in the house. Mrs. Macready lead Jessica to a door near two other doors and opened the door and told Jessica where the washrooms were, and then told her to wait in her room until she got back from getting the other children. When Jessica looked at her room she felt a little bit at home. Jessica's room was nicely furnished with a big bed near a stain glass window. Her sheets were white silk with green comforter with gold flowers on them, it also came with white silk pillows too. Jessica looked at her room and smiled as she started putting her things away while leaving out her drawing book to draw, and also wondering what the other children were like
After about an hour Jessica was still in her room at the desk finishing a drawing of a landscape outside her window. When she was done she put her pencil down and stretched her back and reached for the locket. Jessica opened it and looked at her mum and smiled wishing she could be here to see her room. Jessica was brought out of her thoughts when she heard a voice yell "No touching of the historical artifacts". Jessica knew it was Mrs. Macready and went to the door and opened it slightly to see what she yelled at. Jessica peered out the door and saw four kids, the oldest girl looking surprised while the two boys looked like they were going to laugh, the youngest girl was looking at the door over where the professor worked. The little girl saw a shadow and ran down the hall towards the room closest to Jessica. Jessica closed the door as she saw Mrs. Macready coming towards her door and ran over to her desk to make it look like she was working. When Mrs. Macready came in she was surprised to see Jessica sitting at the desk working quietly. "You may come out of your room now" she said sternly but had a little softness in it. "But don't disturb the professor" she said in the same tone of voice.
Jessica wanted to meet the other children and see what they were like. So Jessica went out of her room and next door to the two girl's room and saw that the door was open and the girls were. She didn't know what to say and got a bit nervous but Jessica knew she had to make friends with them. Jessica knocked on the door lightly and voiced a quiet hello to them while trying not to runaway. The youngest turned around and looked at Jessica and smiled at her while walking slowly toward Jessica. The older girl turned as well to Jessica and smiled and came over with her sister. "Hello who are you" the youngest girl greeted cheerfully while smiling. "I'm Jessica Dowell, and you are..." Jessica questioned while trying not to sound stupid. The little girl perked up and held out her hand while saying "I'm Lucy Pevensie and this is my sister Susan". Jessica lightly shakes her hand while smiling. Susan shakes her hand and asks her to come in the room, Lucy on the other hand was happy they made a new friend.
"Jessica how come we never saw you on the train" Susan asked while sitting on a bed. Jessica answered by saying "I was probably on a earlier one then you". Susan nodded in response to her answer not wanting to go and bug her about the war. Lucy was asking Jessica all sorts of questions like how old are you, what's your favorite colour, what's your favorite animal. Jessica answered truthfully "16, purple, and a tiger" she said with a smile. Lucy told Jessica her favorite was "mines blue and a horse is my favorite animal Jessica" she said with a happy tone.
After a few minutes of talking Jessica also showed Lucy her drawing book that she got as a gift. Jessica was showing Lucy a picture of a fruit bowl when there was a knock on the door frame. When the girls turned Jessica saw the older boy standing there looking at Lucy and Susan but saw Jessica looking. Peter saw Jessica and nearly fell in threw the door it was like looking at an angel. Susan saw this and smirked knowing her brother was falling for Jessica and decided to spice things up a bit. "Peter this is Jessica she was sent here as well" Susan informed him knowing Peter was trying to muster up courage to ask. Jessica smiled warmly at him and went up to Peter to greet him. "Very nice to meet you Peter" Jessica said while shaking his hand while all the well smiling. "Um...hi I came up to inform you girls that supper is ready" Peter stammered while looking at the girls.
"Peter are you coming... oh hello" said a new voice from the doorway behind Peter. Jessica looked and saw the younger boy from the hall. "Oh Edmund this is Jessica she came here too and she's really nice" started Lucy happily. "Hello" he said in a calm tone not really likening Lucy for humiliating him. They all went down to the kitchen hoping that Macready would not be there.
Later that night Jessica was heading off to bed when she herd the radio talking about the war, she stopped and listened.
German aircraft carried out several attacks on Great Britain last night. The raids lasted for several hours-
Susan turned of the radio and Jessica finished walking to her room saying a quick goodnight to the others. "The sheets feel scratchy" said Lucy wishing that she were home and in her own bed. "Wars don't last forever Lucy" Susan said while sitting beside her "we'll be home soon" she continued. Edmund muttered "If home is still there". "Isn't time you were in bed" Susan asked while turning to Edmund to get him to stop it. "Yes, MUM" Edmund said back in a mock sarcastic way while walking to his room. Peter then looks his way "Ed" he said then starts glaring at him. Then Peters looks at Lucy and softens and sits on her bed. "You saw the outside this place is huge we can do whatever we want here, tomorrows going to be great... really" said Peter hopefully.
