A trek through a forest

As a present for her 18th birthday Annie's mum and dad, through the usual communication channels - their solicitors and William - made the arrangement to buy the tickets for three of her RRA girls to come over. And that is how Annie came to be walking around the Castle Grounds with Cee, Zebbie and Voldy even though the forest was white with the frost that had fallen during the previous night. The winter air bit at their faces, but still they plodded through the tall, bare trees. The girls were softly treading through the fallen leaves. That is until Voldy saw it. A little grey squirrel fixing up its home. She ran after it, with Zebbie and Cee giving chase. And it was then that something caught Annie's eye.

A large sycamore tree stood out from the others. It still had most of its leaves and its bark did not look dry and brittle like the other tree trunks. But this was not the most unusual thing about the tree, nor what had caught Annie's eye. No, it was the small orb-like ball of light sitting at the roots of the tree. It entranced Annie and she found herself walking towards the ice blue light. Annie's mind flicked momentarily, just before she reached the light, to how much of a resemblance the light was to Alexander Skarsgård's eyes.


"I just wanted to talk to him!" moaned Voldy as Zebbie and Cee gently pulled her away from the squirrel and back to where they had last left Annie.

Only Annie wasn't there. She was nowhere in sight.

"Where's my Annie?" asked Cee.

But before they could search any further a whirring noise sounded just beside a sycamore tree that was still full of life. Then a purple police box slowly appeared and out jumped four other girls. These newcomers raced over to Voldy, Zebbie and Cee; their eyes all wide in shock.

"Mysty what are you doing here?" Voldy asked her sister.

"Well Maple, Josie, LC and me were in the TARDIS just flying around when Annie's tracking device in her phone suddenly started putting strange noises over the radio," replied Mysty.

"As we were travelling to get here it just stopped. And now we aren't getting any signature from Annie," added Josie.

"The TARDIS is translating the noises as we speak," explained LC.

"And I got in contact with the Doctor with regards to the tracking device signal. He said that you'd need a very powerful magnetic force to block it," reported Maple.

"So how do we find Annie?" asked Zebbie just as they heard a noise from the TARDIS.

The girls all ran into the TARDIS. LC began pressing buttons and read what the TARDIS had found. She gasped causing the others to look at her, worried for their friend.

"She's…in…" choked LC in a breathless voice. "Narnia!"

All the girls stared at LC. Realisation for what she had just said slowly sunk in. Grins began spreading across the faces of all the girls.

"Now this could be fun!" exclaimed Maple.

"We should pick up the others before we go though," said Josie.

As they moved across Earth picking up their other friends they all wore identical expressions of anticipation. There was no doubt about it - Narnia would never be the same, especially not after the arrival of the RRA.


A/N: I know this is a short chapter and I apologise for that but I just wanted a beginning to set the story up. I hope you enjoyed it. Please R&R.
