Susan got a chance
Summary: Allright, what if Susan fell ill into a really bad depression after she lost so many important peoples in that train accident, but she still doesn't believe in Narnia? And what if Aslan gave to her one more chance to change her ways and join to everybody in his country? What Susan is going to do? Here comes my answer to this questions. WARNING: there is no happy ending in this story.

Chapter 1 Funeral ceremony
"Oh My God! Poor Pevensie family, they have lost so much in so short time," Susan heard peoples whispering around her when she stepped out from the car with her parents. "What do you idiots think that you know about our family?" she thought in pain.
"Susan, dear are you allright?" she heard her mother Helen's question.
"Yes, I am allright. Don't worry about me mother," Susan answered as she saw Eustaces parents - Harold and Alberta - coming to them.
"Richard*, let me help you," Helen said to her husband and started to push his wheel-chair.
"Thank you Helen, but you don't have to do this darling," Mr. Pevensie said gently to his wife thinking about that what had happened in the war. He had got 6 bullets to his back in the war and he had paralyzed right under his waist. Only two weeks later doctors had told to him that he wont be able to walk ever again.
"I know, but I want to do this," Helen answered kissing her husband to his cheek. She silently thanked God for having her husband back to home. But at very same time she was silently asking that why they had lost three of their four children and their nephew.
"Thank you my love," Mr. Pevensie answered trying to smile to his wife.
They walked to the church in silent. The peoples they saw, were mostly professor Kirke's and Polly's relatives and friends. Of course there were Eustaces parents and some other peoples, who Pevensie's relatives.
When the funeral ceremony began, Susan was crying silently. It had been a huge shock when she had learned that she had lost, not just one - but seven important peoples in that horrible train wreck. Her heart ached when she heard the priest say their names; Peter Pevensie, Edmund Pevensie, Lucy Pevensie, Eustace Clarence Scrubb, Jill Pole, professor Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer. "Even if I didn't play those stupid games with them anymore, I still loved them with all my heart. Why I had to lose all of them? Oh God, why did you take all of them away from me?" Susan thought silently. She still believed that Narnia was only their own imagination or a stupid game and nothing else. Of course she didn't understand how terribly wrong she was with her own thoughts.
"Susan, are you sure you are allright?" Helen asked worriedly to her daughter.
"Yes mother. Don't worry," Susan answered bit coldly.
"Okay, if you say so. But remember that you can always come and talk to me if you feel that you need it," Helen answered quietly.
"Yes mother," Susan muttered.
Mr. Pevensie took his wife's hand to his own and whispered: "Don't worry darling. I will talk to her tomorrow. It looks like she needs little bit time to understand all of this. This is hard to all of us".
"Okay. I trust you Richard," Helen answered tears in her eyes. She just couldn't understand her daughters behaviour.
1 hour and 45 minutes later our dear friends of Narnia were buried and most of the peoples started silently to go back to their homes. Mr. and Mrs. Pevensie were talking with professor Kirke's and Polly's friends while Susan just stood next to her siblings grave stones. "Even if you can't hear me, I miss you guys so much," she whispered as tears blurred her eyes again.
"Susan, my dear child, why do you cry?" Susan heard a quiet, deep voice behind her back. "Who are you?" she asked shockedly as she turned around but only person she saw was her father, who was coming to her. "Why that voice was so familiar? I know that voice doesn't belong to our father. I just don't understand this situation… not at all! And why I have this terrible feeling that something strange is going to happen to me soon? What is this feeling?"
End of chapter 1.
To be contiuned…
* I don't know Mr. Pevensie's real first name, so I decided to call him Richard. I hope you like it.
Author's comment: Many peoples have thought and asked that what happened to Susan after her siblings death and I got an idea which I wanted to tell all of you, so here it begins. This is going to be my first fanfiction about Narnia and I want to know what do you think about this story. Please, R&R!
