I do not own the Chronicles of Narnia. I have been lurking around on this site for a few years now, and have finally come up with the courage to post my own story. Thanks for reading:
Madeline slammed the door shut. Tears were running down her eyes, but she was more angry than sad at the moment. Her brother, ergh, how she wanted to ring his stupid neck. It wasn't fair, nothing was fair! Jake got everything and all he had to do was look at anyone with his innocent doe eyes. Jake was fifteen and the kid was still spoiled to no end.
She leaned her head against the door that led to her closet. In a few minutes everything would be fine. She knew that. Her anger would go, and the two siblings would be fine once again. Until then, Madeline needed to cool down. She opened the door to her closet, in hopes of reaching her bookshelf which was shoved in the far back. Her closet was always a mess, and though she swore to clean it, she hardly ever did. She entered into the closet and tripped over a pair of her shoes.
Instead of hitting her head against the bookshelf, she found herself headfirst into the softest grass. The world around her had changed. Madeline looked around to see a clear sunny sky, and a beautiful field of grass. This was a scene out of one of her favorite books.
Feeling the cool wind blow against her, Madeline was a ninety nine point nine percent sure that this wasn't a dream. She stood up and looked around. She had always imagined being transported into a magical land-like place, but now that she was here, she had no clue what to do first.
"Ok" She muttered "What do I do now?". She looked around, and then began walking in a random direction. Probably not the best plan in the world, but she really didn't have any other options. Perhaps she could find some of this place's citizens, figure out where she was, and from there figure out what to do next.
Madeline found herself at the edge of the forest, with a small dirt path. The path had to lead to somewhere, so the curious sixteen year old followed the path the best she could. She figured since she had stayed alive so far that perhaps she was doing something right.
She turned around a corner to see from a distance a chestnut horse with a jeweled saddle and velvet reigns. Riding the horse was a young girl, a few years younger than Madeline, who was dressed like a disney princess. The girl's hair was an auburn brown, and a huge smile was plastered upon her face.
The girl giggled, and whispered something to her horse. She moved her head up slightly and noticed Madeline. Before Madeline could blink the horse and its rider had approached.
"Hello" The girl said. "Are you new here?"
Madeline fiddled with the edge of shirt's sleeve.
"Sort of, I kind of transported here…"
The girl interrupted Madeline. "I understand. The something happened to me years ago. Name's Lucy and yours?"
"Madeline" Madeline said.
The girl smiled. "Well, Madeline, welcome to Narnia."
"Thank you"
"Why don't you come with me" Lucy suggested " We're celebrating my brother's birthday today. The palace is filled with his friends and, honestly, I need some company of my own."
Lucy held out her hand for Madeline to get on to the horse. Madeline bit her lip. What harm was there? She grabbed a hold of Lucy's hand and was lifted upon the horse.
"Ever ridden a horse before?" Lucy asked, noting the older girl's unease.
"Not without someone guiding it on the ground" Madeline answered.
Lucy laughed. "Alright, Frae, we're heading back to Cair Paravel"
The horse started to trot.
"Of course your majesty"
"You're a princess?" Madeline asked. Of course, she scolded herself, couldn't you tell by the crown and gown?
"Queen actually" Lucy responded. "My sister's Queen too, and both my brothers are Kings. Ha, I'd expect you to be more concerned about a talking horse"
Madeline laughed. "Believe me I was bringing that up next."
The two girls rode Frae on their way to a glorious palace.
