Life and Death

Chapter 1. Where it all begins

Love. The one thing that neither of them could understand.

Peter couldn't understand why for once in his life, he felt so alone and so distant.

He watched as Susan played with Lucy while Edmund sulked around the grounds. It had only been a few hours since they had arrived at the professor's house and already he missed home. He wished he could just be with his father again, even if just for one more minute.

Peter decided to relax and walked down to the gardens to play with the others, until Mrs. Macready arrived. Instantly the mood around them changed.

"Children, do stop all this horseplay! Now, the professor's children will be arriving soon and I expect all of you to be in your best attire. And do come in and change from those filthy clothes. I want you all washed and changed in ten minutes." Mrs. Macready said and she walked away.

"TEN MINUTES?" Edmund yelled. "I don't even have any formal clothing! I left it all at home!"

"It's okay Ed." Peter said "I'm sure you can borrow one of my shirts though I don't know how that will work.."

"Why don't we just worry about this later and go get changed!" Susan yelled, as she ran into the mansion.

Ten minutes later, Peter had changed into his best suit and handsomely combed his hair while Susan and Lucy both walked out of their rooms and joined him in the hallway. The only unhappy face in the room was Edmund's, which was almost hidden as he was struggling to look smart in Peter's oversized suit.

Mrs. Macready notices them in the hall and comes out of the kitchen.

"Very good. You all look very smart, and Edmund do try to stop horsing about will you. Now, I expect you all to be at your best behavior and do remember all your manners."

They all gathered in the front hallway and slowly the grand doors began to open.

Peter looked up to see four very handsome children in the hallway. There were two boys, one was probably about the same age as himself, he also had blonde hair and blue eyes, and the other boy whom had chestnut hair and chocolate brown eyes looked barely older than Lucy.

Also in the hallway, there were now two girls, one was around 13, a red curly haired girl with beautiful green eyes, and beside her was a tall, long haired blonde with the most enchanting sky-blue eyes. She looked up and smiled at Peter.

At that moment both their faces looked very much like tomatoes. And probably everyone noticed because of what happened next.

"Hello, I'm Cedric Leike and these are my sisters Celeste and Argentina, and this is my brother Henry. It's a pleasure to meet you all." He said as he extended his hand out to Peter.

"The pleasure is ours," Peter said returning the gesture. "My name is Peter Pevensie, these are my sisters, Susan and Lucy. And this is my brother Edmund."

"Oh how wonderful! I love children!" Celeste exclaimed looking at Lucy and Edmund. Then realizing what she had just said her face returned to resembling a tomato, so Cedric decided to relieve the awkwardness.

"Well I hope we can all get to know each other better, probably since we'll all be living in the same house from now on. I hope you'll all enjoy it h-"

"Yes, so do I." Mrs. Macready interrupted. "Now the four of you get to bed, I know it's early but after your train ride you must all be exhausted."

Edmund opened his mouth to argue, but then he knew along with everyone else he would never win an argument against the Macready. So he slowly sulked up the stairs and into their room along with three other unhappy children.
