Caspian looked back to our world, what he could see of it, and had a second thought.
"Wait!" he shouted, but the portal to our world suddenly closed up and vanished.
Too late! Now, it's too late! He thought. He stood there, looking into nothing.
Aslan looked at him, standing by the river bank. They were in Aslan's country, and Aslan had just sent Eustace and Jill back to our world.
Caspian knelt on the grass, his head bowed down. Tears started to well up in his eyes.
"Come here, my Son." Aslan suddenly said. His voice was loud and soft at the same time. When Caspian heard Aslan's voice, he thought that He was crying; there was something sad in His voice. He stood up, and walked to Aslan.
"What troubles you?" Aslan asked, looking at him with steady eyes.
Caspian didn't say anything. He thought deeply.
"You can tell me. You cannot want wrong things anymore." Aslan added.
"I was just thinking, could I see them one last time?" Caspian asked. His head was still looking down.
"And who are they may I ask?" Aslan replied.
"Oh, Aslan! You know who I'm talking about."
"No, I don't."
"Very well. I just want to see the Pevensies one last time."
"You will only see one of them for the last time. The other three, you will still see, very soon. But I grant you your wish." Aslan replied.
Caspian looked up, his face had a happy expression."When?"
"If you want to go, you can; right now. But they will not see you, you are a ghost there, only one will. And, you can stay in that world for three days; no more, no less. But you can go anytime you want, and this is your only chance to do so." He replied.
"I would love to go now." Caspian replied.
Aslan stood up and walked near the cliff; two trees were bordered there, intertwined together. He breathed on them, and they started to twist open.
I think I've seen this before. Thought Caspian to himself.
"Farewell, my Son." Aslan said, in a soft voice.
Caspian took one step and looked back. Then, he walked to Aslan, and gave Him a tight hug.
"Thank you." He whispered.
He let go, and walked to the trees. It was quite a shock later on, because the view changed; from the bright, sunny atmosphere in Aslan's country to a damp, rainy day in London. He was standing in front of a two-storey house. He was soaked to the skin, and ran to the direction of the house. The door was opened a creek. He slipped in and found that it was warm inside. Suddenly, a voice said:
"Aha! Checkmate! I win!"
"Rats!" another voice said.
Caspian said to himself "I know that voice." And went to where the voices came from.
He saw Edmund and Lucy sitting on a carpeted floor, chess pieces scattered around the chess board. They were playing chess, and Edmund lost.
"Hi guys." He said.
But none of them looked at him.
Oh yeah. They can't hear me 'cause I'm a ghost, that and all. he thought to himself.
"That's unfair! I want a rematch!" Edmund exclaimed, crossing his arms.
"Face it! You lost, and those cookies are all mine." Lucy replied, grinning.
I wonder what Peter's doing. He thought, and walked 'round the house.
He found Peter lying on his bed in the room he shared with Edmund, reading a hard-bound book with no title on it.
"Darn it! Why'd Lois leave Daniel like that?" Peter muttered to himself, then added "I love this book. I hope no one catches me reading this sappy love story."
Too late for that, Peter Pevensie. Haha! Caspian said. But the same as before, the human didn't hear him. Guess it's Susan's turn.
Then he walked out and looked for the girl's room. When he found it, he looked inside first and went in. Susan was sitting in front of a table with a mirror, putting pink stuff on her lips.
He froze in his steps. She still looks as beautiful as ever. He thought.
Suddenly, Susan stared hard into the mirror and turned pale. She turned around in shock.
"What are you doing here?" she said, her voice reaching the point of a scream.
