Author's note: I wrote this story for my BFFs Caleb, Jake and Kelly. The four of us LOVE Narnia and I thought it would be cool to do this story. There is also a sequel to this story that I'm almost done writting. After that I may do one more story starring us. The sequel is 'Someone Worth Dying For' The third story isn't published yet, but it will be under the name 'No Need to Say Goodbye' So if you want to read those go right ahead! Oh, by the way, 'Someone Worth Dying For' is a better story than this one because now I have more experience writting.
Between Two Worlds Trilogy
The Lion, the Lady and the Lake
By narniagirl11
Chapter 1 – First View
"Yes, my lady. As you wish," Caspian bowed and left the lady's presence. She was dressed in an icy-blue gown that just barely touched the ice cold floor. On her head she wore a crown of silver icicles, and her face wore an emotionless, haughty look. She was Jadis. Queen of Narnia once again, and she was determined to rein forever. She thought nothing could stop her now. Her enemies she could turn to stone with just a flick of her wand. Jadis moved silently across the floor to gaze at her reflection in a crystal mirror. The mirror's image began to spin and fade. A beautiful lake reflected in the mirror. Jadis could use this mirror to see things near the doors from our world to the world of Narnia. Right now she was watching several children playing in a lake. Jadis watched as one of the girls playfully flipped a raft, pushing a boy into the cold water. He came up sputtering.
"Caleb, your face is so funny!" I laughed and he tried to splash me. "Jake! Quit pulling on my life jacket. You're going to pull me off!" I tried to pry Jake's hands off the back of my life jacket.
"Let me on! The water is so cold!" Jake was using my life jacket to pull himself onto the inner tube. "Kelly!" Caleb called to a girl standing on the beach. "Swim out to us!" Once Kelly and Jake were both safely seated on the raft, it began to float towards the middle of the lake. We were talking happily about our adventures together when suddenly we were pulled into the water! Caleb and I were pretty strong swimmers but every time any of us tried to get a breath of air something would pull us under. A strong force was pulling all of us to the bottom of the lake. "I can't swim any longer!" Jake cried.
Jadis clenched her fists. The raft was floating too close to the door. She couldn't risk them coming any closer, especially since the children were two sons of Adam and two daughters of Eve. With a sly grin on her face she used her powers to drag the children off the raft and into the water with hopes that they would swim for shore. But the force of her powers pressed the children under water where the door began pulling them to Narnia.
"No!" Jadis cried. "Caspian!" Caspian came running.
"Yes, my lady?"
"Take 15 men and go to the Great Waterfall. If you see any strangers bring them to me immediately."
"Yes, your majesty…but why the Great Waterfall? There is no one there but the animals and dwarves."
"Do not question my commands!" Jadis snapped. "Just do it!"
I struggled to keep my head above water. "Caleb! Kelly! Jake!" I called frantically. The current of the river was rapidly pulling me toward the shore. I scraped my knee climbing out. A man quickly strode towards me.
"Halt! Who are you?" he asked. I looked at him surprised. The dark hair and eyes seemed familiar.
"Caspian?" I asked hesitantly.
"Yes, and who are you?"
"I'm Heather," I told him shaking my wet hair.
"You're from the other world though, right?" Caspian questioned.
"Yes," I smiled. "Like the Pevensies; the Kings and Queens of Old."
"How do you know?" Caspian was a bit suspicious.
"I read it in a book. All their adventures are written down."
"Is that how you know about me?"
"Well, a little," I admitted. "But, not a lot. I've read more about the Pevensies."
"Would you like to come with me to the castle? I was just on my way there."
I decided to go with him but I didn't tell him about my friends.
"All right. How far is it?" I asked.
"Not far. Have you ridden a horse before?" inquired Caspian.
"Yes, where are they?"
"Over here." Caspian led me to some bushes where several horses were tied. "Here," he said, handing me the reins to a pretty chestnut mare. I looked back towards the river in hope of spotting my friends before I mounted my horse.
"Where do you think we are?" Kelly asked.
"Who knows? Maybe Narnia," Jake joked. Caleb turned from the river to look at Kelly and Jake.
"Wait! Where's Heather?" Kelly asked. The three started scanning the river bank anxiously.
"Heather!" Jake yelled.
"She knows how to swim," Kelly said.
"Maybe she climbed out downstream," Caleb suggested.
