AN: So. Hi. This is my first ever fanfiction, and it is about my favourite Narnia couple, Lucy and Caspian. I changed the ages slightly from the books, though I have never read them (I hope to get them for my birthday), and in this fic, Lucy is 16, Edmund is 18, Eustace is 15, and Caspian is 21. Also, I really like what the characters look like in the movies, so we are gonna go with what that, but you can imagine they look otherwise if you really want to.
Lucy's POV
Lucy wandered around the streets of London, thinking of Narnia once again. She did not feel comfortable living in England anymore, knowing that Narnia was her home more than England had ever been. She missed the green forests and the beautiful castle she once called her home, Cair Paravel. But more than anything else in Narnia, she missed her friends.
Trumpkin, my Dear Little Friend. Trufflehunter. Glenstorm...Caspian. Lucy sighed, sitting down on a stone bench in front of a produce shop. She missed Caspian more than anything else in Narnia. She had been much younger the last time they had been in Narnia, only 13 at the time. She was much too young to be considered a suitable choice for Caspian, though she had to admit that she had fallen deeply in love with him during the time they spent together at Aslan's Howe. He never would have considered me beautiful, especially not when Susan was there, Lucy thought glumly, staring out into the streets of London. Sighing, she stood up and began to make her way back to Aunt Alberta and Uncle Harold's house, where she and Edmund were staying while the rest of her family spent their time in America.
She arrived back at the house, and was immediately bombarded by her cousin, Eustace.
"Where have you been?" he demanded, coming much too close to Lucy's face for comfort.
"Out. Not that it's any of your business," sniffed Lucy, pushing past her cousin and up the stairs to her tiny bedroom. She passed Edmund on her way, and motioned for him to join her in the bedroom, away from the increasingly annoying cousin.
Once in her bedroom, Lucy sat down on the bed, her eyes drifting once again to the painting hanging on the opposite wall. It was a fairly boring painting, there was nothing but a wide expanse of water, with a regal ship sailing in the background.
Edmund followed her gaze to the painting, stating, "You stare at that painting more than could possibly be good for your health, Lucy, what are you seeing when you look at it?"
"It's very strange, whenever I look at that painting, I always think of Narnia." Lucy said, staring even harder at the painting. It almost looked as though the water was moving.
"EDMUND! LUCY!"Came a shout from downstairs. Eustace. "IT'S TIME FOR DINNER! AND IF YOU DON'T COME DOWN RIGHT AWAY, I WILL FEED YOUR SERVINGS TO THE CAT!"
Edmund and Lucy looked at one another, rolling their eyes. As soon as this war is over, we'll be able to join Peter and Susan on their adventures in America. Maybe that will be able to get me through this time here, Lucy thought, standing and following her brother down the stairs.
The water in the painting continued to move slowly towards the edge of the frame in gentle waves, and the grand ship moved closer.
