Chapter 1: Falling Into Narnia
"Emma come on it's starting to rain!" Parker Ross called to her best friend as she sprinted down the street.
"There's nothing wrong with a little rain Parker" Emma Brown casually walked along the yellow line, enjoying the cool rain in the summer heat.
"There is when I've straightened my hair! It'll frizz!"
Despite the downpour Emma and Parker made it to their car without getting completely soaked. They had just come from a party at a friends and planned to drive back to Parker's lake house.
"Parker please slow down, can you even see the road?" Emma nervously asked.
"Relax Em, we'll be fine"
"Yeah but what if—"
Suddenly there was the sound of tires squeaking, the smell of burnt rubber, a crash, and everything went black.
So Susan what shall we do today?" 16 year old Lucy Pevensie asked her sister.
"Well Caspian, Peter, and Edmund missed breakfast because they have a meeting with the war council again. It's a beautiful day so let's go riding!" Susan suggested.
"Sounds great!"
"Okay well I'll meet you down there I just have to get changed!" Susan left the dining hall on her way to her room in search of a casual dress.
Typical Susan, Lucy thought as she walked to the stables. Has to dress all fancy for breakfast. Wonder who she's trying to impress? She laughed to herself. No doubt Susan was trying to impress Caspian. Susan had had a crush on him since they had defeated Miraz 3 years ago. The question still remained when would she admit her feelings for him?
Lost in her own thoughts Lucy walked into the stables and began saddling her horse, Risus. Peter had given her the Bay horse for her 13th birthday and Lucy had named it Risus because it was Latin for laughter; which she loved to do.
"Please my lady, let me".
Lucy turned and found herself looking into the eyes of an incredibly handsome stable boy. He was tall, blonde, well-built, and had soft hazel eyes. She just got lost looking into them.
"My lady?". Lucy was snapped out of her trance by the boy's second attempt to help saddle Risus.
"Oh, uhh no thank you I can do it" she replied.
"My lady, please, this is after all my job and Risus can be quite fowl tempered". I wonder if he realizes who he's talking to… Lucy thought to herself.
"I know, he's my horse". The boys face instantly paled as he came to the realization that he was speaking to none other than Queen Lucy the Valiant. Ah, so now he knows.
The boy instantly dropped to his knees. "P-please forgive me Queen Lucy I just started working here and did not recognize you in casual clothing".
"Oh it's fine! I can't wear extravagant gowns all the time you know. And between you and me they are incredibly uncomfortable to ride in". She smiled and gestured for him to rise.
"Ofcourse Your Majesty. Can I not atleast help you mount?"
"Sure thanks". The stable boy then gently lifted her by the waist and helped her climb up the horse.
"There you are Your Majesty. Are you riding alone? If I may: it is not safe in the woods alone, especially with the looming war against the Calormen". The stable boy said as he lead her outside.
"Oh no actually—"
"Sorry I'm late I couldn't find my riding boots!" Susan yelled as she came bustling down the path.
"Oh its fine Susan. I was just talking to the new stable boy, uh, I'm sorry I don't think I know your name" Lucy turned to the boy.
"Oh my apologies Your Majesties my name is Landon, Landon Scott". He bowed to Susan then again to Lucy. Susan curtsied then headed into the stables.
"Well it is a pleasure to meet you Landon Scott I'm sure we will become good friends". Lucy said.
Susan had now come out of the stables astride her horse, Venus; a black stallion she had named for its beauty. A quality Susan herself did not lack.
"Well Lucy are you ready?" she asked.
"Yes ofcourse!" Lucy then turned to Landon. "It was a pleasure meeting you Landon Scott I hope we meet again soon".
"As do I Your Majesty, have a wonderful ride". Landon bowed then watched as the two young Queens rode off toward the Western Woods. As do I… he thought to himself.
Emma was the first to come to her senses. Ugh my head. She thought as her senses slowly returned.
First, touch, she felt soft earth beneath her body as she ran her fingers through the long grass embedded in the dirt. Her ears then began to pick up, silence. Not the eerie, deafening silence, but the peaceful kind. Where are the cars? I don't here any people. It was all nature. She heard birds: tens, maybe hundreds of different birds all chirping together; it sounded like music. There was also a waterfall somewhere in the distance. She could hear the water bouncing off various rocks as it cascaded down what sounded like a steep cliff. Her sense of smell returned next and she smelt flowers, lots of flowers. In her mind she pictured a field of wild daisies.
Last her eyes, she slowly peeked out at her surroundings and was instantly blinded by intense sunlight, she groaned and closed them again, waited a few seconds, and tried again. This time she turned her head slightly to the left, so she wasn't directly facing the sun.
Opening her eyes she saw green, lots of green: green grass, green plants, green trees. I must be dead, she thought, this place is beautiful.
But something stood out among the green foliage, a bright red mass was laying a few feet from her. It moved, and she realized it was another person, she could see blonde waves of curly hair, and a long, slim body. Focusing a bit more on the face she was suddenly met with soft green eyes. Parker!
"Ugh Emma? Em!" Parker and Emma both rose and stumbled towards eachother. Each still recovering from the accident. Upon reaching Parker Emma instantly embraced her, comforted knowing she wasn't alone.
"Are you okay?" Emma asked.
"Besides a massive headache I'm fine, you?"
"Same. What happened?"
Parker thought for a moment. "Well I was driving us to my lake house after Sarah's party, then I think we crashed, and then I woke up here".
"It would explain the head injuries but what is this place?"
"Why you're in Narnia ofcourse!" Parker and Emma instantly turned to find two girls around their age staring at them atop horses.
One was incredibly beautiful, she looked to be the elder of the two. Long dark-brown hair, blue eyes, pale, freckled skin, and a shapely figure. Wow. Parker thought. And I thought I was pretty.
The second girl was also beautiful, but not as refined-looking; she looked younger and seemed to radiate happiness. She appeared more energetic; she had blue eyes and pale, freckled skin like her sister; her hair fell in long, auburn curls; she had curves, though was not as busty as the first girl.
Parker and I stood and slowly approached the two. We watched in awe and confusion as they dismounted their horses and approached us.
"Did you say, Narnia?" Parker asked.
"Why yes! The Western Woods to be exact. Are you lost? You don't look like you're from around here, I've never seen clothing like yours". The younger one said as she looked first at the girls faces then down to their feet.
I turned to Parker. "She thinks we look funny? They're wearing medieval clothing! They look like they just stepped out of a King Arthur story!"
"Emma be nice! We're weak, have no idea where we are, and have nothing to defend ourselves with" Parker quietly scolded Emma.
"Oh, no we won't hurt you! We're friends we promise. Right Susan?" The smaller girl then looked to 'Susan'.
"Yes". 'Susan' instantly replied.
"My name is Queen Lucy, but you can call me Lucy" she then gestured to the older girl. "This is my older sister, Queen Susan, but there's really no need for formalities, we're friends!".
Parker stepped forward. "Well my name's Parker, Parker Ross; and this is my friend Emma Brown." She gestured to me. I shyly waved.
"If you don't mind me asking, what happened to you girls? There are large gashes on your foreheads and scratches down your arms". Susan inquired.
Parker and Emma both looked over their arms, before now they hadn't noticed any other injuries.
"Oh well we—" Emma cut Parker off with an elbow to the ribs and said "We died in our world and woke up here".
"Oh I'm so sorry!" Lucy instantly ran up and engulfed both Emma and Parker in tight hugs.
"You must come stay with us in Cair Paravel! It'll be so much fun there are balls where you wear fancy dresses and dance with the most handsome princes! Oh speaking of which you will have to meet our brothers and friend, Prince Caspian." Lucy shot a mischievous glance in Susan's direction as she said the Prince's name causing Susan to blush pink.
Lucy continued to avidly talk about various subjects as Parker and Emma each climbed onto the back of a horse and the four rode off for Cair Paravel.
Oh this will be so much fun! Parker thought as she sat behind Lucy and enthusiastically listened to her description of talking animals and creatures.
Meanwhile, Emma sat behind Susan and nervously anticipated what was in store for the two girls. What have we gotten ourselves into?
