Hi, if you're reading this thank you so much! Side note, Emma Roberts will be portraying Alana here. Thanks to grapejuice101 for the title inspiration and for suggesting Emma for Alana's role. Enjoy!
It was a warm summer day and the young girl running through the forest couldn't be happier. She was 4 years old and was very adorable. She had pale skin, dark brown hair and forest green eyes. She wore a dark blue sweator with the sleeves rolled up, a black skirt and leather boots. She had a bright smile that lit up her eyes and made her look younger then she was. As she continued running, she wasn't paying attention to what was in front of her. She cried out as she tripped and fell over a rock she didn't see. She held out her hands to brace her fall when she landed on snow. Her eyes widened when that thought processed.
Snow? In summer? How? She thought in wonder, looking around in confusion. The forest looked nothing like the one she'd been in just one second ago.
"Where am I?" She asked aloud.
"Narnia, child." The young girl whipped around only to be faced with a lion. It was huge and had green eyes, that she thought she saw kindness in. But it was a lion! Ms. Elizabeth and other kids at the orphanage had warned her that lions were dangerous. She cried out in fear, jumping away from the lion. "Don't be frightened, child. I mean no harm." The lion said.
"H-How can you talk?" The girl asked, her curiousity getting the better of her. As far as she knew, lions weren't supposed to talk.
"I am no ordinary lion, as you are no ordinary Daughter of Eve." The lion answered.
"Eve?!" The girl cried, "Is that my mommy's name?!"
"I do not know that," The lion answered, "but I do know you are Alana Swan." The girl looked down.
"That's not my last name, it's my substitute." She whispered, "I have none." The lion stepped towards her and said,
"Fear not, Alana. For you are special indeed."
"How?" She asked.
"You are the holder of Narnia's pure magic." The lion explained.
"What?" The girl, Alana, asked, "Who are you?"
"My name is Aslan and you indeed are the holder of Narnia's pure magic." The lion, Aslan, answered. Before Alana could answer, Aslan stepped forward and breathed on her. Suddenly, a single strand of her hair turned strawberry blonde. "When you next return here, your magic will awaken the rest of the way, symbolized by your hair turning strawberry blonde." He then breathed on her again and suddenly, Alana found herself in the forest she was in first. She blinked for a second before taking off again, memories of Narnia erased from her for the time being. Unknown to her however, Aslan stood unseen in the forest, smiling at Narnia's chosen.
There's the first chapter! The Pevensies are coming in next chapter along with a familiar character who disappeared after their first appearance in the series and I really wanted to include them. I might update later this week depending on how many people review or just read the story, though reviewing is better cause I'm curious as to what you think Alana will be like when she's older. Later.
