There they all were, hiding in the the wardrobe from Mrs Macready.

And when they walked deeper and deeper into the wardrobe they fell into Narnia,Peter and Susan got up, astonished.

Edmund pretending to be surprised and Lucy jumping up and down with excitement.

Susan got a snow ball plastered on her face.

Susan woke with a start,

It had all been a dream, Peter, Edmund, and Lucy had all died in the train crash, and gone to Narnia. And Narnia meant nothing to her any more.

But maybe it did mean something to her, maybe she had been dreaming about Narnia every night after the crash because she wanted to go back, and wanted to see her family again.

"Oh, I wish I could see them again" she thought to her self,"if only I could go to Narnia again,if only I could be in Narnia with them".

Suddenly she heard a loud gong ,disrupting her thoughts.

"There's my 6:00 am bell" she thought to her self.

Ever since the crash she had a job as a secretary,at Hall's Luggage Co. managing their affairs.

So Susan got out of her bed (which was in one of the bedrooms of Uncle Harold & Aunt Alberta's house where Susan was staying) dressed herself,and went downstairs to have a delicious breakfast of grapefruit,hot buttered toast with marmalade, and a steaming mug of coffee with Uncle Harold and Aunt Alberta. All through her breakfast she wondered if there was a way to get back into Narnia. She thought about the wardrobe that they first went to Narnia from, she wondered if the wardrobe still existed, and if so could she use it to get back.

"Well Susan you'll have to hurry, else you'll miss the train,dear" said Aunt Alberta startling Susan.

"Yes ma'am" said Susan "I'll just hurry up stairs and get my jersey, then I'll head to the train station.

After Susan had taken her jersey,she was about to leave the house, when she glanced at herself in the hall mirror, at first she saw what she was expecting to see, her reflection. But then she looked a little harder and she saw something different, she saw someone who had given up her brothers and her little sister,and Narnia, for lipsticks, and her friends.

She saw a vain girl who had hurt her siblings who where now gone. She had hurt the people she loved most, and now they weren't there to run up to and hug and make what was wrong, right. she felt like crying, she didn't care about anything else, all that mattered now was that she found her family in Narnia, and found a way to get back to Narnia.

Quickly, Susan wiped away the tears that had gathered in her eyelids, and rushed to the train station, and caught the train.

When Susan got back that night she ate her dinner in silence, she didn't mean to be rude to her Uncle & Aunt, she was just thinking very deeply.

"Susan, are you feeling quite well, dear? asked Aunt Alberta.

"Oh, yes ma'am, I'm just thinking" said Susan "Sorry."

"Oh, you don't need to apologise to me dear, every girl should be able to think" said Aunt Alberta.

After dinner ,Susan cleared away all the dishes and started to wash them when Aunt Alberta came over.

"Don't worry about those dear," she said " I'll do them for you,you go upstairs and think about whatever it was you were thinking about at dinner.

"Thank you ma'am" said Susan.

When she was in her bedroom Susan went to a little cabinet beside her bed and looked inside, there sat the magic rings that Professor Kirke used, in a little silver case lined with velvet, and engraved on the lid of the case were these words: There is no Magic without Belief.

Peter had them in his pocket when he was in the crash, and Susan had kept them after the crash as something to remember her family and Narnia by.

She took the rings out of the cabinet, and opened the lid of the case

"I wonder if these still work" she thought "maybe I could use them".

She put them back in the cabinet and went to her window. She opened the window and looked out, there was a little breeze blowing. Susan looked out into the dark sky, and the memories came flooding back, memories of them all running around playing tag in the Professor's house, them fighting the White Witch, Aslan, ruling Narnia in Cair Paravel, the Lamp Stand, Mr Tumnus, Prince Caspian, defeating Miraz,the little mouse Reepicheep.

"I wonder if I'll ever see them again" she said softly.

Susan would have used the Magic Rings-the only problem was that she didn't know how to use them,at all. She knew was that the Professor had used them and Peter was going to use them before the Crash.

There was a soft tapping at her door, she walked to the Alberta put her head around the corner,"you might want to get ready for bed Love" she said "other why's you will never wake up tomorrow.

"Yes, I am feeling a little tired" she said "Good Night".

"Good Night Dear, sleep tight" Aunt Alberta said with a smile.

Susan snuggled into the covers of her bed, closed her eye's,and went to sleep.

Before the Crash Susan's Aunt and Uncle were rather proper and stiff around their nephew's and niece's, But after the crash it seemed they lost their proper ways and decided to relax, maybe it was because they lost their son too and knew also what Susan was going through.

The next day,Susan once again examined the magic rings.

"Is there any way of finding out how these work," she said to herself.
