The Protector
By hpswst101
I give credit to lost.rules815 for giving me the idea of a Protector and the love pair. Also to C.S. Lewis for creating Narnia and all within it. I only own Madison and her family. This will be a combination of the book and the movie. Movie in the beginning, book at end. Horse and Boy will also be in this story.
Chapter One: Madison
"Maddy, I have something to tell you," an old lady said. Her graying hair was pulled up into a neat bun. A young girl, around fifteen, was sitting on a couch reading a book in an other language. She had fiery red hair that she wore in a long braid. Her beauty was evident in her face and figure.
"What is it?" Madison asked her voice held an Irish accent to it, emerald green eyes not leaving her book.
"Madison, you need to be sent into the country side. A friend of your mothers is also sending her children to accompany you. Madison?" the woman asked and sat beside her.
"Where are you going?" Madison asked in a whisper.
"I'm going to your Aunt Leah and Uncle David's. They would take you in, but, they only have one room to spare at the moment and all of us think you would be better off with a child who is your own age and children younger then you to help take care of," the old woman said and gently took Madison's hand.
"So take me a way from the only family I have left. That makes a lot of sense, even if I'm not still sitting Shiva. I'm still mourning. Yes, it makes a lot of sense." Her voice was cold, her emerald eyes blazing with sadness, grief and remorse. Madison quickly got off the couch and went into her room where she slammed the door shut.
Madison looked around her room. A photo of a woman who had the same fiery red hair, a man with deep brown hair, a younger man about eighteen or nineteen with reddish brownish hair and a young girl about eleven or twelve with the same colored hair as the young man beamed up out of the picture. All four were in a line with their arms around each other looking very impish and yet at the same time very noble. Madison walked to the photo and picked it up while setting her book down on the side table.
"Why did you have to leave me? Especially all so close together. I miss you. Come back," Madison said. Tears leaked from her eyes and she held the photo close to her heart. "I'll do anything just come back." She missed them and nothing seemed to have gone right ever since they left her. She knew she had to move on but nothing seemed to make her happy or smile any more. She was heartbroken and just wanted her family back.
"Madison. Can I come in?" a male voice asked. "Madison?"
"Sure, why not," Madison sniffled. Her door opened to reveal an old man. The old man wore a Star of David necklace and his long gray hair was in a ponytail, his short fluffy beard gave him a very grandfatherly look.
"Madison. I know you're upset. We all are, but we think this is the best. Please understand," the man said as he approached her.
"Shouldn't I be with the rest of my family? Why do I need to go with strangers even if they are the children of Eema's friend? I don't know them." Madison had tears running down her cheeks.
"That's not true. The eldest, Peter, met you when you both were a few months old. The two of you used to play together. Before you, Tom and your parents moved, he and his mother were even at the memorial service. The two of you were quite cute together, in your younger years when you lived in London. You might not remember, but once the two of you started to talk, you would have little conversations. It was so cute. Why your mother and his were even starting to talk about the wedding and what it would be like." The old man chuckled; Madison had a tint of red on her cheeks.
"According to your mother, you were not very happy to move away from him. Your mother also once told me that the two of you were going to get married and this was even before you were born and Peter was just a newborn. I hear that Peter is quite a nice fine man. You will do well with him." The old man advised.
"What!" Madison said. Fury started to flow through her again. Her mind was reeling. Why are they trying to control my life? Why can't anyone leave me alone? Madison thought. "Are you saying that I have to meet him and love him? That we have to be together? I don't even remember him from the funeral! I refuse to fall in love! I don't want to be hurt again! Why are you doing this to me? Can't anyone leave me alone to grieve for my family? All of who I have lost in this war!" Madison knew she should lower down the volume but she couldn't. Not when people were trying to take advantage of her and tell her what path to take! "Why do you have to send me away? Aba, my father, had said that if anything happened like this we were to stay together and not get separated!"
"Madison! Your family has gone. I understand that you are hurt but I'm positive your father would have wanted it this way. He would want you to be safe."
"I'm safe with my family! If I go with them, I will lose all that you have taught me. Don't let me lose my faith when we are growing fewer by the day because of those Nazis!" She had heard about what was happening to her people. That they were forced to be slaves, forced to die by the millions in horrific ways and to become guinea pigs for scientists for stupid reasons. Most people didn't believe it, but she did. Why would anybody lie about something that evil? She hated it but she could do nothing to prevent it.
"The man you will be staying with, Professor Kirke, has made allowances for you. You will still be able to hold up your faith there. Please do it for your lost family. They would have wanted you to be happy," the old man said.
"Fine," she grumbled.
"Thank you," the old man kissed the top of Madison's hair and left the room.
"War is hell."
