This is my first Chronicles of Narnia fic, it is book-verse and movie-verse.

CHAPTER ONE - Aslan is never gone

Lucy's POV

I don't know what happened I was about to leave Narnia for the last time and I had this overwhelming feeling to turn back. I looked back and saw the look on his face, he looked heartbroken. I'm sure it wasn't. He's in love with my Sister, Susan, not me.

Now I have to stay with Eustace and his parents. Mother and Father said that it wouldn't be long before I could join my Sister and Brothers. Edmund had gone to America little after a month since we came home. That was three years ago. Mother says it is not safe yet. Eustace and I always stuck together in school and after school we usually go up to the apple tree in the orchard on the other side of town. Every day after school we go up and sit under the tree's green leaves. It makes us feel at home. (Narnia was full of trees like this one which is why we love it here so much.)

"Lu, are you okay, what are you thinking about?" Eustace asked peering down at me who was up in the tree's branches, he was smiling at me and he appeared to be doing homework.

I ignored his question, it wasn't important. "What you working on?"

"Oh just science work, are you okay Lu?" He asked once more.

"Yes Eustace I am very well, I am just thinking of my family who are not here," I said dismissing it almost immediately. I didn't miss my family as much as I missed HIM.

I returned to my drawing of the Dawn Treader, I had gotten used to drawing pictures from our adventures to keep the memories alive. I knew I wasn't going back, but that didn't mean I couldn't wish... did it? It had been three years since I had been to Narnia I wasn't going back. I tossed my, now, long curly blonde hair over my shoulder and sighed in frustration!

'Aslan why did you send me home when I only long to be there?'

I knew she would no longer get a reply but I would never lose hope in Aslan.

Caspian's POV

What is wrong with me? It's been a month, get a grip with yourself! I screamed at myself in my head! I don't know what I am thinking any more; I have a country to rule with or without Lucy by my side, she wasn't coming back I had to accept that as it would be Aslan's word I am going against Aslan if I don't.

"King Caspian your men are waiting for word on what to do." Drinian said, opening the door to get Caspian's attention. I hadn't heard him knock I had been away in his thoughts.

"Sorry, Drinian I'll be there in a moment."

Drinian nodded and walked out of my cabin, my men were waiting for him. I put his thoughts aside and exited I cabin.

His men were talking among themselves quietly, "We're returning home for supplies, we've already returned the people back to their rightful homes it's time we return home before we run out of supplies." I announced clearly so everyone heard.

They all nodded their agreement and then fell silent. They respected me and listened to what I had to say. "Are we in agreement we stop of when we reach Calormen we will get supplies and then set sail once more and go west last time we went east, now we will go west."

Aslan please let this journey be... pain-free? It wasn't a lie the last journey was filled with pain, Lucy had left and that caused the most pain I had ever felt. I had some feeling that it was going to get better because I thought I heard a lion roar in the distance!

Calormen was now only a week journey, we would be home once more in little over a week's time.

Lucy's POV

Eustace and I got home from the large apple tree (which is what me and Eustace call it now) at about seven we got an odd look from Eustace's mother, "And what time do you call this? Lucy? Eustace?"

"We're sorry, Aunt Alberta we just lost track of time, I was drawing and Eustace was doing homework, we're sorry." I replied sounding a little shocked at her reaction, we've been home later than this before.

"May I see the drawings Lucy?"

"Of course, I drawn these three today," One was of Dawn Treader, one of Caspian and one of Eustace as a dragon.

"You have a vivid imagination, Lucy. Who's this?" She was revering to Caspian.

"Oh him, he's a friend. His name is Caspian"

"What a strange name,"

"Hmm," Eustace and I made our way upstairs.

"Supers at seven-thirty, be down then"

"Yes Mother," Eustace called down stairs.

We went into my room and sat on my bed, my room now had a lot of my drawing around the walls now.

Most were me, Edmund and Caspian, also some of Aslan and Eustace. "Do you ever want to go back Lu?"

I stiffened at the mention of Narnia, "Eustace, I am here drawing these pictures. so what do you think? Yes I want to go back! With all my heart, I belong there not here."

At some point when I was saying this I vaguely heard a lion roar, not just any lion, Aslan.

Caspian's POV

"Right, a week to get home. . ." Aslan what do I do, I miss her!

"You know all you need to do is ask, my son." A deep voice said behind me. A voice I knew so well.

"Aslan" I feared if I turned around he would be gone.

"Turn around King Of Narnia."

And I did.

"Aslan, what do I do?" I tried to sound somewhat in control but he knew me better. He looked sad, I have never seen Aslan sad.

"My Son, all you have to do is ask, what do you want to know most of all?"

To know whether Lucy can return! I shouted out in my head! "I am not sure, I know that if I go west then we will most likely hit more danger than we had hit going east!"

"That wasn't what I meant."

I know... "Aslan, you said she could never return, there is no way I can see her again, so there is no point asking." I pointed out bluntly trying to keep the emotion out of my voice.

"Caspian," The use of my name showed it is serious I gave him my full attention. "Fate can be changed if challenged, if you are willing to go to her world"-

"Go to Queen Lucy's world? But that's - that's not in Narnia"- I stopped realising I had interrupted Aslan, he didn't seem angry about it.

"Yes I know, but if you really want to see her again then you must challenge her fate in order to change it,"

"And if I do, how would this change her fate? I bring her back just to be send home again? I cannot do that Aslan, I cannot see her again just to watch her leave!" Again!

"If you go to Queen Lucy's world and ask her to return one last time she will remain in Narnia, she will never see her family again either. It is a choice you must make,"

I listened carefully to his words there was a message behind them somehow. "But if she refuses to return to Narnia, then what?"

"Caspian, do you know Lucy at all?" He asked the bluntness hiding the amusement in his voice; he knew Lucy would never refuse Narnia. And so did I.

I knew what he was telling me, give Lucy a choice she will come home, I was going to bring her home. "Very true," Was my only reply but then I carried on, "If I chose to take on changing Lucy's fate how do I go around getting to and from Lucy's world she often called 'England'?"

"Oh that is simple" he said and then he was gone.

I hate it when he does that! However I couldn't help be happy because I was going to bring Lucy home.

Lucy's POV

It was the next day and once again I had returned to the Apple tree only his time without Eustace. He had to stay on at school. Poor him It didn't take long for me to start drawing again, this time I was drawing Caspian talking with Aslan. Only Caspian looked sad, very sad. So did Aslan. What is this? I have never witnessed such a scene! I was shocked I had never seen this scene before, I was a little scared. 'Lucy' I heard someone say, I knew the voice, whose was it through, and I couldn't pin-point it. 'Lucy' Yes I could it was Aslan. I was on my feet in seconds my paper falling to the floor forgotten about.

"Lucy, turn around, dear one" I couldn't help but feel sad about seeing Aslan in this world, it was just another reminder that I'm here and he's there.

"Aslan," I sighed as I turned around. I walked up to him he was real he was really here! I buried my face in his mane and he laughed, "How are you here Aslan?"

"I have come to offer a choice"

"What choice?" I asked almost excited, but I refused to get my hopes up. But he was here, Aslan was here!

"I cannot say yet, we must wait"

"We? So you will wait with me, and what are we waiting for?"

"Someone and yes, dear one, I will wait with you. He shouldn't be long"

"Who are we waiting for?"

"Someone important" was all I got back but that was enough at least he told me something. All of a sudden I remember my drawings that were still discarded on the floor I stood up and collected them. I neatly put them back in the folder and returned back next to Aslan.

"What are they?"

"Drawing's I have drawn of Narnia" I answered honestly. All of a sudden we heard rustling in the nearby trees of the orchard; I was instantly on my feet. So was Aslan.

When the man came into view I gasped I was shocked to see who it was . . . Aslan wasn't shocked at all. "Is he who we're waiting for?" I muttered and caused Aslan to laugh again. The man chuckled as well. I could help but smile at him. "Caspian"

"Lucy" He answered straight away I think he had a hint of relief in his voice?

"Aslan, I'm confused" I said honestly. "What's going on?"

"Sit, both of you." It wasn't a request or suggestion it was an order which we both agreed to.

Caspian's POV (Calormen)

"Aslan?" I asked confused as to where Aslan had gone.

"My son, we must hurry, Lucy will not be at that tree for much longer. I will go ahead," He said before roaring, "When you next open a door it will lead to the orchard we will be in, you will appear about half a mile away to give us a chance to talk, do you understand?"

"Yes Aslan" I said calmly when I was screaming inside. Then he was gone.

I went to the cabin door I took a deep breath and went through the door.

I appeared in a garden of some sorts. "Orchard we will be in" it was an apple orchard. I heard chatter to my side and followed the noise, about half a mile later 'exactly as he said, half a mile. I came out to a large apple tree. "Is he who we're waiting for?" I heard someone mutter, she had long blonde hair and was tall, and her hair was curly. It took me a while to see I knew her and that it was an older Lucy who muttered it. Aslan laughed and I chuckled. Lucy smiled at me and sighed. "Caspian" I never thought I would hear her say my name again.

I had to return the favour. "Lucy" I couldn't keep the relief out of my voice even if I tried!

"Aslan I'm confused, what's going on?"

He hasn't told her yet? Or was that why I'm here? I couldn't help but wonder.

"Sit, both of you."

It was an order so we obeyed and we sat.

I hope this wasn't too bad, but I would like to know what you think. HINT HINT
