Times Gone By
Author's Note: Sorry if I get anything wrong, not an expert. Please be nice my first Narnia fanfic and I know I'm not good at writing stories. By the way the guy that annoys Susan at the beginning of the Prince Caspian movie is the guy she tells her story to I just can't remember his name, ok? Just thought I'd let you know, smiles. Also Susan has no idea that Aslan destroyed Narnia and created Aslan's Country, she still thinks Narnia exists.

Summary: (Post-Last Battle) A year later and Susan is trying to redeem herself and tells an unexpecting person from her past about her adventures, well maybe not everything. But who else is listening in on her conversation?
Susan sat watching the rain fall and was thinking of times gone by. Times when she was happy, carefree and had a family whom she loved more than life itself. A year had passed since that dreadful day when they were taken from her and it was still fresh in her mind as if it was yesterday. She wished that she could have gone with them but she knew better, after all she wasn't the logical one for no reason.
She thought she knew where they were and why they were there. It was hard to know that she might never see them again. Now here she was sitting on the train platform, the same train platform that her family had been on before they had died.
The normal façade was put on, that everything was fine and that she was coping, while inside she was dying without them. Everything she needed was with her and she was ready to go.
'The train is now arriving!' Came the voice over the speakers. As the train pulled into the station Susan felt scared and anxious but continued and got on the train. Putting the thoughts of death and tragedy and also what her family must have gone through to the back of her mind.
Now on the train Susan took a seat and the 'cabin' was empty, a few people came and went but no-one really paid attention to her and vice versa. She just continued to stare out of the window. Next to seat opposite her was someone from her past.
"Hi, remember me? The guy from the underground. You told me your name was Philis." Of course she had been unlucky then and the same now, why couldn't he just disappear instead? "Yes I remember you, Hi." 'Unfortunately' she thought to herself. He looked at her and knew something was wrong, "By the way, I found out your name is actually Susan, right?" Trying to start up some form of conversation. Susan turned and looked at him wondering if she should speak to him,but of course not telling him everything.
"Yes my name is Susan. Susan Pevensie." She was surprised at the look he gave her, one of disbelief and concern. "Oh my God! I'm so sorry for your loss I heard about it on the news." She looked back at him with a mixture of anger and gratitude on her face. Going back into silence, like it was before, but it didn't last long as she could see he was aching to ask a question. "Go ahead spit it out" He was surprised but asked calmly.
"May I ask where you are heading and why you went from that platform?" Surprise was definitely on her face and she thought about it then it came to her, "I'm heading to where Peter was tutored by Professor Digory Kirke, to answer your second question I suppose I feel closer to them going from that platform." Susan felt a look of curiosity and concern coming towards her and looked at him.
"Why are you going there, I mean no-one even goes near the place. What's so special about the place?" Susan looked at him and wondered whether she should tell him and even before she had made a decision in her head she found she was already speaking.
