A/N: Hello my lovely little snowflakes. I was a fan of these books and movies when I was younger and so I decided to write this. Anyway, enjoy and review.
Edmund's P.O.V.
I can't believe we're back. Every night for the past year I've been dreaming and praying about coming back. Susan and Lucy smile at each other, then they both take off running toward the bright blue water. Peter and I follow closely after them. It feels great to be in Narnia again. The water is cold and bright blue as we splash water and chase each other into the waves. I stop to take a breather and I look up the cliff face that is on the beach and as I do so, I notice piles of white rubble.
"Where do you suppose we are?" I ask out loud.
"Where do you think." Peter says as he gestures with his arms.
"I don't remember any ruins in Narnia." I say as I continue to stare at the ruins above us. Without another word, we all start to climb up to the great ruins that stood above the beach. Once we finally get up to the ruins, I can see man more than I saw from the beach.
"Who do you suppose lived here?" Lucy asks from what looks like the place of a balcony.
"I think we did." Susan answers as she holds up a solid gold chess piece.
"Hey, that's mine. From my chess set." I say as she hands it to me.
"Which chess set?" Peter asks as he joins in the conversation.
"Well, I didn't exactly have a solid gold chess set in Finchley, did I?" I respond. I notice Lucy staring off at a random place.
"It can't be." Lucy says as she runs toward an open section and naturally we follow her. "Imagine walls." Lucy begins as she places us in random spots. "And columns there." As she points to a blank spot of trees. "And a glass roof." She paints the picture for us. Suddenly it hits the rest of us. Peter says what we are all thinking.
"Cair Paravel!" We all begin to explore what once was our great palace. Then I notice something that really terrifies me…
"Catapults…" I say out loud by accident.
"What?" That catches the others' attention.
"This didn't just happen. Cair Paravel was attacked." I say. "Do any of you remember where the crypt was?"
"Just over here." Susan says as she leads the way. Peter and I move the large stone to reveal a wooden door. Peter gets the door open but as we all peer into the crypt we all see how dark it is. I look over to Peter as he rips off a piece of his shirt and wraps it around a branch.
"Don't suppose you have any matches, do you?" Peter asks me as he puts his knife away.
"Well no,but…" I say as I pull a torch out of my bag. "Would this help?" I say with a smirk on my face.
"You might have mentioned that a bit sooner." He says while chuckling. I smile, turn it on and begin to walk into the darkness. As we continue walking, we finally make it to the crypt of chests.
"I can't believe it. It's all still here." Peter says as we open the gate. Susan, Lucy and I rush for our trunks.
"I was so tall." Lucy says as she holds up a dress that is much too long for her.
"Well you were older then." Susan says with a smile on her face and she continues rummaging.
"Compared to hundreds of years later, when you're younger." I say as I put on a helmet that is now much too big for me.
"What is it?" Lucy asks Susan as she noticed the look on her face.
"My horn. I must have left it in my saddle the day we went back." Susan says as realization came to her. I continue to riffle through my old junk, then I hear Peter open his trunk next to mine.
"When Aslan bares his teeth, winter meets it's death…" Peter says as he looks at his old sword.
"And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again." Lucy finishes the thought. "Everyone we knew… and the beavers… they're all gone."
"I think it's time to find out what's going on." Peter says as he puts his sword back in it sheath. We all change out of our wet school clothes and into more comfortable clothes. We get back to the cliff face and look at the expansive sea and rocky cliff faces. I close my eyes and enjoy the breeze as it blows past my face.
"Was that cat there before?" Lucy's voice pulls me out of my trace and I look to where she's pointing to a black cat that is sitting in the tree, staring at us.
"I don't think so." Susan says as she walks closer to the cat. It suddenly stands up and jumps off the branch. The cat slowly walks around the base of the tree but what comes out from behind it on the other side surprises me more than anything. A girl who looked to be my age in a long black dress with pale skin, blonde hair, and bright green eyes takes the place of the cat. She's actually quite pretty.
"Hello." The girl says. Her voice is so soft and light. It sends chills up my spine and I don't understand why.
"Who are you?" Peter asks as he takes a step closer to the girl.
"All you need to know right now is that my name is Ivy and I'm here to help you. Now if you wanna find the other Narnians, I suggest you follow me and don't ask a lot of questions." The girls says as she begins to walk away from us.
"Wait!" Lucy says. The girl turns around and smiles at Lucy. "Have we ever met before?" Lucy asks as the girl walks over to her and places a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry, darling. Everything will be revealed to you in time. That is the way my father wanted things." Ivy says with a smile.
"Your father?" I ask in utter confusion.
"My father helped you last time you were here." Ivy explains as she starts to walk away and us being us, we follow her.
"Really?" Susan asks.
"Oh my, you all ask a lot of questions." Ivy responds. Something tells me that there is something special about this girl but I can't say what. At least not yet.
