Susan's Story: The Discovery
Hi! I'm Susanne and I just started this story! I'm sorry that this chapter is so short but I just wanted to see where I should go with this so please leave me ideas! Thank you so much! Jesus loves you!
Chapter 1
I stared in silence as I tried to process what the Police Man just told me. How did it even happen? Mum and Dad were going home while Peter, Edmund, and Lucy were going to meet the "Narnians". Lucy especially tried so hard to get me to go but I wouldn't. Why should I? Narnia was a game we played when we were a kid. It meant nothing now. Sometimes I would visit Lucy and she would be talking to Aslan, the talking lion who seemed to be God of Narnia. I would ask her why she was talking to Aslan because he wasn't there, but she would always say, "He can hear me. He can always hear me. And he's not Aslan here, He's Jesus." I never understood her. Aslan never told me his name. Yeah he told me that he had to figure it out but how did she know that Jesus was it.
My thoughts were interrupted by Rupert, my boyfriend, running in the door, "Sue," he said, "I just heard! I'm so sorry!" He took me in his arms and at that moment I thanked God for him. I don't know how I would survive without him now. He asked me what I was thinking about as he came in. I'd never told him about Narnia but since he's all I had left I decided to tell him.
"When I was younger, Peter, Ed, Lu, and I went to live with an old man in a mansion in the country during the war. While we were there we found a wardrobe. In that wardrobe there was a country inside. Now Ru you have to believe me! I've not gone mad I promise! Look." I went into my room and came back with a dagger I had gotten from Narnia. It was the only thing the magic let me bring back.
"Blimey!" he said, "So how long did you live there?"
I was surprised that he believed me, more than once I wondered if he was humoring me. So I told him about all of our adventures to him, about Shasta and Caspian, about Miraz and Mr. Tumnus. It took about two hours and it was a great relief to get my mind of the fact that they were gone. After I was done I started to tear up. He looked at me and said, "Sue, I'm sure they're in His country; the one you were talking about. If He loves you like he says he does then he wouldn't just let them die. And just maybe, He'll let us go too."
I've never thought about that before. Maybe he did take them. I pray that he did. After a couple of hours, Rupert had to leave and almost on cue, Fillis came and asked if I wanted her to stay with me for the night. I said yes so she stayed for a couple of days.
