A Twist in the Story
Summary: A new American student, Astrid Bowen, now goes to the same school as the Pevensies. She ends up being whisked away to Narnia with the siblings to help Caspian take back his crown. But Astrid may not be all she seems to be. In fact, she may not even be human..looks can be deceiving.
Disclaimer: I do not own Chronicles of Narnia, only Astrid and any other characters I may add in. Nor do I own InuYasha, although certain themes will be taken from this anime/manga.
Chapter 1: It's My First Day!
Astrid looked up at her new school and smirked-her form of a smile-in excitement. She was glad to start somewhere new; she had hated the old school she went to in California. 'I'll be able to meet new people here, and keep up the act better this time around. No one will be able to find out. I'll make sure of it.' Astrid thought to herself as she walked into the office of the building. She waited behind 2 people in front of her, but when she got to the front, she faltered slightly. The woman looked at her and wondered, 'Who is this? Oh, she must be new..I hope she doesn't cause trouble. Heaven knows we need more children in detention.' Astrid said quietly, "Excuse me ma'am, but I'm new here and need my schedule."
A short while later, Astrid stopped in front of a classroom and Mrs. Garisson, the secretary whom Astrid had asked for help earlier, opened the door and walked in. The bell had already rung a while ago, the class was full of children and the teacher, a middle-aged man was giving a lecture. Mrs. Garisson went up to the teacher and spoke to him in a soft voice. He looked over at Astrid, and beckoned her into the classroom. She walked in and noticed the kids looked about two years older than she did. The numerous advanced classes she had taken at her school in America had put her in a year that was ahead of the actual year she would be in according to her age. She looked around and allowed herself a bit of relief when no one made faces at her appearance, her disguise was working.
When she got to the man's desk, she quietly waited until he spoke to her. He looked at her a moment, wondering, 'According to Garisson, this girl's grades are exceptionally high, and she should be in this year. Well, I'll see about that. I must say though, this girl has a strange air about her..Almost royal, but cold at the same time..' He finally spoke to her, "Hello Ms. Bowen, my name is Mr. Hensley, but I prefer to be called by my first name, Atticus. So please, just call me that, but no ridiculous nicknames. Now, tell us something about yourself. Where you're from, what your hobbies are, why you moved here, you know all those sorts of things."
Short first chapter, I know, but I didn't want to get ahead of myself just yet. Wow..I just realized how embarrassingly short this is. I'll put up the next one when I can. Please R&R! :)
