Susan POV
I flip another page in the book I am reading and sigh. It has been a year. 1 long year since I have seen Narnia. The time must have been at least 50 years in their world and Caspian must have aged greatly and found a queen who he adores. Now my siblings and I are staying once again at the professor's house but no one dares to go near the wardrobe.
I hear the door open and my three siblings walk in, Peter who is now 20 studying to be an army doctor, Edmund now 17 getting ready to graduate and Lucy now 15 and a bright intelligent young woman.
"Hello Susan! Do you want to play a game with us?" Lucy chirps and sits next to me.
I sigh. "I guess Lucy."
"Splendid! Let's play hide and go seek. You count." She calls as she runs into the halls of the mansion.
I look at my brothers. "I am not doing this again. She is trying to make us remember the old days."
"She wants you to be happy. We want you to be happy." Peter exclaims and pulls me into his arms.
"Exactly. I haven't seen you happy since you were with Cas- I mean him." Edmund quickly saves himself from saying his name.
Nobody dared speak that name in front of Susan. If it is she immediately excuses herself and locks herself in her room for days.
"I have so been happy." I counter.
"No you haven't. Don't deny it Susan." Peter argues.
I wiggle out of his arms and stand up. "Well seeing as I am not happy I am going to go do something that makes me happy."
I walk out of the room and storm into my room. I flop down on the bed and look at my window. I go and slowly walk to the window and sit on the bench under it that has pillows all over. I look up t the sky and see a bright star shining. In Narnia you could see thousands of stars in the sky and in the English country side you don't see as many and tonight there is only one. I wish he can see the same star.
Caspian POV
I rub my temples and put the paper down. This whole trip to the islands is stressing me out. I wish she was here to hold me and tell me everything will work out. I haven't heard her voice in 3 years. I walk out onto the deck of the Dawn Treader and rub my light beard as I look up at the stars. Thousands of them dot the skies usually but tonight only one is shining, one big bright star. I miss her laugh, her smile, her hair. I wish she could see the same star right now but her world is far away and very different from mine. Many years have passed in her world and she most likely is dead or has met another man who adores her. I just wish that man could be me.
