A/N: Sorry I haven't update my other stories, because the LORD BLESSED ME WITH A JOB! A real corporate job! I'm ecstatic beyond words. I'm exhausted by the time I come home so my updates are slow in coming. I'm working on them, but they are not published material yet.
Summary: Back in England parents try to keep their children away from those dangerous Pevensie children.
The parents in the neighborhood have seen the Pevensie children in their backyard playing with the most violent of…toys? Susan, who is usually the most peaceful and graceful has been seen with an archery set. When asked how did she come by it, she said she made it. Most thought it was unlikely. After all, where did she get those red feathers, and why did she insist on red? She aimed at anything and everything no matter the distance. She hit a bullseye every time. In secret, the men and boys who witnessed it were impressed despite their wives and mother's views. "How unladylike!" was the consensus amongst the women and some of their daughters.
The boys were always having a sword match. Yes, it was only wooden practice swords, but oh how violently they used them, as if they were in an actual war! That Edmund Pevensie had to show off with two. Everyone was sure the eldest placated him when he won a match. They threw their full strength into each blow, gritting teeth, and growling. The sudden war cries were the most disconcerting as mothers clutched their babies to their bosoms. Unfortunately, for the parents of teenage daughters, were constantly finding their wide eyed girls peeking around the house every time Peter Pevensie took off his shirt. Tight muscles moving under sweaty skin seemed to draw them out in droves.
And the youngest, who was just as sweet as golden honey, threw a set of knives at a tree far off with precision every time. It was well known that her eldest brother bought the set for her as a birthday present, shocking their mother and the neighborhood. What made matters worse, the other siblings encourage her behavior by cheering her on.
Surely they must keep their own children away from such an eccentric family, someone might get hurt. They shouldn't handle such weapons; it was too dangerous. What were their parents thinking?
After all, they are only children.
