This is the first chapter in my Narnia story- the Teen Wolf story will be on a hiatus until I have a chance to catch up on the seasons. I hope you all enjoy and I would very much appreciate it if you left a review.
"Professor? What are you doing? It's midnight. Caspian?" the girl was rudely awoken and picked up off of her warm bed and wrapped in a dark thick cloak. "Midas had a son." The professor explained leading them through hidden halls and cramped corridors. The girls eyes widened and she looked at Caspian grasping his hand comfortingly. He held on to her tightly.
Finally they came out at the stables. Caspian lifted her on to one of his horses before he got on to one of his own. "You're not coming?" The girl asked looking at the professor with a concerned expression. "No my dear Annabella, there's something I must take care of here. You go with Caspian, guard him and keep him safe." Annabella nodded and turned to Caspian. "Ride into the woods, they won't follow you there. It has taken me many years to find this, do not use it until you reach your greatest need." The professor added handing Caspian a small bundle.
"Will we ever see you again?" Caspian questioned. "I certainly hope so, there is so much more I need to tell you—everything you know is about to change." The professor said 'close the drawbridge!' they heard one of the guards say in the distance. Caspian and Annabella rode off in a hurry, Anna looked back at the professor one last time before turning the corner.
They made it out of the castle and into the town when the fireworks went off making the horses go wild for a moment before Caspian and Annabella were able to get them back into their control. Midas' guards went chasing after them. "Race you?" Anna smiled at Caspian before riding off with him in pursuit.
They rode quickly with the guards not far behind them, passing open fields crossing streams, the wind sent a rush down the girls back and she couldn't help smiling—she was free. Anna and Caspian had been friends since he was young—he found her one day when she was cleaning the kitchens.
"May I help you?" the young girl asked looking at the boy her age curiously. "I am Prince Caspian, who are you?" the girl quickly scrambled up off the floor and gave a messy curtsy. "Your highness, I am Annabella Martell, I clean the kitchens." She said not sure whether or not to meet his eyes. "You don't have to bow, not to me, but if you did you'd be doing it wrong." He said—not in a scolding tone, but more of a correcting one, the way a teacher would correct a student.
"Sorry your highness, you are the first royal to enter the kitchens." She said rather shyly. "Don't call me that, call me Caspian, it's odd for a friend to call me by my title." He said walking closer to the little maid. "We are friends aren't we?" he asked seeking reassurance.
She looked hesitant but nodded anyway—the girl never had any friends, not any real ones anyways. Everyone she associated with was her aunt's age. The older maids, cooks, and laundresses of the castle cared little for the child—she was a pest in their eyes they gave her small jobs that she couldn't possibly mess up. Instantly a wide smile appeared over Caspian's face. "Great, now come here Anna—I can call you Anna, right?" he asked the dark haired girl who quickly nodded in agreement, a smile formed over her face too—she had a friend.
The boy took her by the hand and they ran across the kitchen and he led her through corridors she'd never seen before, and finally he led her into a medium sized chamber. The room had beautiful furnishings and an enormous window allowed the natural light to come in from the setting sun. There were candles set up to allow the boy to see even when the sun set. "Wow." She said in awe, looking behind her the little girl saw piles of books stacked all the way to the ceiling.
"It's beautiful isn't it? I found it while I was exploring the castle. I've never brought anyone else up here." He said watching her reaction. "You're the first." He added quietly. The girl stayed looking at the books but her smile grew just a tad hearing him say that.
"You like books? Here this one's my favorite." He said handing her one of the books that was on the table next to the unlit candles. She took it but looked at it sadly. "You don't know how to read do you?" he asked—she shifted her gaze down to the floor. "Don't worry." He said not letting that dampen his spirits. "I'll teach you." She looked up and smiled widely. "I would very much like that." She said and he smiled. "Come on, I'll start right now." He said pulling her and the book towards him.
