Gifford Residence

The loud explosion heard from the distance that causes the great earthquake in the middle of the night. A young fifteen years old girl snapped her eyes open in shock as she sat up. Her hip-length brown hair with full bangs flew around when she jerked her head to the open window along with dancing curtains. Her bright blue eyes shrink in fear when there's another explosion heard closer and the air forces let aloud cries energies. The young girl covered her ears, the explosions were terribly loud that she hastily climbed out of her bed.

"Elizabeth!" a door slammed open, revealed a worried mother with messy short brown hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. She stared at her daughter with relief eyes. "Darling! We have to head to the shelter! Now!"

Elizabeth stumbled toward to her mother before she grabbed her robe to cover her nightgown. "Mama, where's papa?" she asked with concerned.

Her mother cries. "He left last night to aid his service for the war." She grabbed her daughter's hand and dragged her downstairs.

"What?! But papa has medical problems and was forced to retire from the army!" Elizabeth stuttered in panicked. "He'll die!" she cried out to her mother.

"I know." The mother whispered sorrowfully. They both reached the basement door. However, the loud explosion head has gotten a lot closer. The mother jerked her head to the window and eyes wide. She turned around and shove her daughter to the basement door away from the living room.

"Mama!" Elizabeth gasped, unexpected.

Her mother smiles lovely at her with tears running down. "Papa and I always love you, my little Birdie." She farewells with warmth and love to her beautiful daughter.

Elizabeth who prefers Birdie stared in horror when the bombed released and destroyed half of her house and her mother.

"MAMA!"

Train Station

Birdie stared at the train in solemn eyes. She is standing a few feet away from the small family of the Pevensie. The mother, Helen gives her farewell and hugs and kisses to her children. Then she glanced at her niece, "Birdie…" she went to her.

Birdie glanced at Helen eyes teary eyes. Helen looks so much like her mother that makes her heart in pain. "I'm so sorry." Helen sniffed, she missed her baby sister terribly. "I know that Abigail would want you to be safe and away from here." Helen hugs her niece. "Don't worry. We're going to take care of you. They will be there for you; your cousins will not let you forget that." Helen whispered. "I love you."

Birdie just nodded her head. She hasn't spoken a single word ever since her mother died from the accident bombed a week ago. Helen sighed softly then she pecked her niece's forehead.

Helen glanced at her elder son, "Take care of Birdie." Peter nodded his head with understanding. He walked to Birdie and placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Come on. We can't be late." Peter gently pushed Birdie to the train. Helen watches her children crowded their mourn cousin to the train. When they stepped inside of the train and found a compartment. Little Lucy went to the window and waved at her mother sadly. Helen waved at her precious children.

Then the train shifted down on the railroad while the children watch their mother through the window until she was out of their sights.

Susan sits on the middle between Lucy and Edmund while Bridie and Peter sit across them. Birdie stared at the window emotionless while Peter grabbed her hand and squeeze to comfort her.

A Heart of Country

Outside

Four siblings along with their cousin watch the last child picked up by a caretaker and drove off. Leaving the smoke in a trail.

Edmund looked around then he looked at the tag that was pinned on his coat. "We're waiting for the Professor?" he is curious.

Susan squints her eyes as she shields her eyes from the sun. "He should be here by now."

Lucy sat on the bench while Peter sat by her and Bridie is sitting on the other side of Lucy. It was rather intense and awkward silence for a while until the sounds of gallops came.

The children glanced up and saw a strict woman riding the carriage as she controls the horses. She halted front of the children and glared down at them. "Are you the Pevensie? I was told there are four children and one Gifford child."

Susan lifted her chin up. "That's us."

"Well… get in." she tilted her head at the back. The children quickly placed their luggage in the back and climbed into the back and sat on the hay. The children learned the woman named was Mrs. Macready who was a charge of the housekeeping.

After thirty minutes of silence ride, they have arrived at the large mansion in the middle of nowhere. Although it was a beautiful house, as Susan commented.

Mrs. Macready leads the children to the mansion and found themselves meeting an old man with shaggy white hair which grew over most of his face as well as on his head. Lucy held her older brother, Peter's hand as she hid behind him nervously. Edmund wanted to laugh and had to keep on pretending he was blowing his nose to hide it. Peter and Susan respectfully greeted the Professor while Birdie just observed inside of the mansion with slight interested.

The professor bid them good night as he went to retire for the night. Mrs. Macready turned to the children and direct them to their bedroom separate of girls and boys room. Then warned them to go to sleep early and not disturb the professor.

Professor's Mansion

Girls Bedroom

Lucy, Susan, and Birdie changed their clothes into their nightgown and ready to climb in their bed. Peter and Edmund walked inside and chat for a while.

Peter was sitting on Lucy's bed. "We've fallen on our feet and no mistake. This is going to be perfectly splendid. That old chap will let us do anything we like." He smiles at his little sister.

"I think he's an old dear." Susan spoke up as she stood up from the vanity chair and turned to her siblings.

Edmund who is tired but pretending he's not. "Oh, come off it!" he frowned. "Don't go on talking like that."

"Like what?" Susan frowned at Edmund as she placed her hands on her hip. "-and anyway, it's time you were in bed."

Edmund rolled his eyes. "Trying to talk like Mother. And who are you to say when I'm to go to bed? Go to bed yourself."

Lucy sat up. "Hadn't we all better go to bed? There's sure to be a row if we're heard talking here." Lucy is worried about getting in trouble by Mrs. Macready.

"No, there's won't." Peter stood up from the bed and glanced at his quiet cousin who is sitting on the chair while staring at the night sky through the window. "I tell you this is the sort of house where no one's going to mind what we do. Anyway, they won't hear us. It's about ten minutes' walk from here down to that dining-room, and any amount of stairs and passages in between."

Suddenly the owl hoots that spoke Lucy. "What's that noise?" She is feeling very nervous staying in a large house than she had ever been in before and the thought of all those long passages and rows of doors leading into empty rooms was beginning to make her feel a little creepy.

"It's only a bird, silly." Edmund rolled his eyes.

Peter shook his head. "It's an owl. This is going to be a wonderful place for birds." He smirked. "Perfect place for our Bridie, don't you think?" he attempted to get their cousin to speak but it was futile. Peter was disappointed, "Anyways… I shall go to bed now. I say, let's go and explore tomorrow. You might find anything in a place like this. Did you see those mountains as we came along? And the woods? There might be eagles. There might be stags. There'll be hawks."

"Badgers!" Lucy said with excitement.

"Foxes!" Edmund grinned widely.

"Rabbits!" Susan joined in.

The four siblings turned to their cousin who ignored them. They exchanged their worried glances and retired to their bed. Birdie stood up from the chair and went to her bed. She climbed in and closed her eyes before the tears threatening to flow.

Professor's Mansion

Living-Room

In the morning, after breakfast, the children sat in the long, low room with two windows. Birdie is sitting on the bench that was pushed against the window. She stares at the scenery through the window, watching the thick steady rain hitting against the window. She leaned her head against the cold glass in silent. Peter is sitting on a comfortable chair with a book in hands. Susan and Lucy are doing puzzles on the coffee table. And Edmund crossed his arms as he was sitting on the chair across from Peter while grumbling to himself.

Edmund glared at the raining. "Of course, it would be raining!" he scowled.

"Do stop grumbling, Ed." Susan glanced at Edmund then back to the puzzles. She picked up a piece of a puzzle, "Ten to one it'll clear up in an hour or so. And in the meantime, we're pretty well off. There are a wireless and lots of books."

Peter sighed softly as he turned the page.

Lucy leaned back in boredom and glanced at her siblings and her cousin. Then she got an idea, she stood up and went to her eldest brother. "Peter… we should play a game. All of us." She said with a smile.

"Are you blind? It's raining." Edmund stared at his sister rudely.

Peter glared at Edmund. "Be quiet Ed." Then soften his glare when he turned to Lucy. "I'm sorry, Lucy. We can't play outside, we'll get sick."

"But… we can play hide and seek! There are so many hiding spots in the house. Please? Can we play, Peter?" Lucy begged her brother with big eyes.

The eldest brother stared at her then glanced at Susan, Edmund then Birdie. "As long as Birdie gets to join us?"

Lucy turned and ran to her cousin. "Birdie! Join us! Please!? It will be fun, please!" she begged her silent cousin. Birdie stared at Lucy then glanced at Peter who is waiting for her to respond.

Birdie then nodded her head and Lucy beamed at her. Lucy turned to Peter with hopeful eyes and Peter sighed loudly. "One. Two. Three…" Lucy grinned wide then ran off.

Edmund groans, he stood up and ran off as well along with Susan. Birdie stood up from the bench and walked out of the room to find any place to hide.

Birdie walked down the hall and saw Susan went inside of the chest as her hiding spot. She glanced at her surrounding and continued walk down the hall. She turned and met the closed door. Birdie reached the doorknob, twisted open and walked in quietly. Her blue eyes examined the room, it's a room filled with antique equipment, books, and stuff.

She went in further of the room before she closed the door behind her. Her eyes spotted a picture covered with a sheet. She took the sheet and saw a beautiful painting of a castle. 'It's beautiful!' she thought when she carefully observed the castle.

It was a majestic castle with woods surrounding them and a beautiful clear ocean with the shimmering colorful inside of the ocean. It's almost like magic to Birdie. She gently traced the painting with her index finger then she stood up and explore in the room with curiosity.

After a quick examined of swords and shields that have a lion as an emblem. Then went to some old yet beautiful dresses along with a very few jewelry. When one of the necklaces caught her eyes, almost immediately she felt attached to it. It's a simple necklace with black thin leather-made and an oval blue topaz with a size of a pinky.

Birdie couldn't help it. She doesn't want to let it go. Her eyes glanced at the closed door in caution. Then quickly placed it around her neck and hid the gemstone under her blouse. AS much as she doesn't want to steal it, she somehow couldn't just return it and leave. 'They won't notice… right?' she mused nervously. Feeling anxious and wanted to leave the room before anyone caught her, she left the room immediately.

Then suddenly, Birdie heard Lucy running footsteps while shouting. "I'm here! I've come back. I'm all right." Birdie frowned in confusion. She went to the ruckus and saw four of her cousins standing in the hallway.

Birdie noticed Lucy was puzzled. "But I've been away for hours and hours."

Three siblings glanced at each other. Edmund tapping his head. "Batty! Quite batty."

"What do you mean, Lu?" Peter glared at Edmund then soften his eyes at Lucy.

Lucy frowned. "What I said. It was just after breakfast when I went into the wardrobe, and I've been away for hours and hours and had tea, and all sorts of things have happened."

Susan shook her head. "Don't be silly, Lucy. We've only just started the game moment ago."

"She's not being silly at all." Peter defended the youngest. "She's just making up a story for fun, aren't you, Lu? And why shouldn't she?" he glanced at Susan and Edmund with raised eyebrows.

Birdie just watches her cousin in silence.

Lucy shook her head, "No, Peter, I'm not. It's- It's a magic wardrobe. There's wood inside it, and it's snowing, and there's a Faun and a Witch and it's called Narnia; come and see."

The others did not know what to think, but Lucy was so excited that she lead to up to the attic room and pointed at the beautiful wardrobe. "Now! Go in and see for yourselves." She was so excited to see their faces.

Susan shook her head and went to the wardrobe, she opened the door and pulled fur coats apart. "It's just an ordinary wardrobe. Look, there's the back of it." She knocked the wood.

Birdie noticed that it was just a perfectly normal wardrobe. She watches Peter went in and rapped his knuckled on the wood to make sure it was solid. "A jolly good hoax, Lu." Peter half-grinned when he climbed out of the wardrobe. "You have really taken us in, I must admit. We half believe you."

"But it wasn't a hoax at all." Lucy protected. "Really, and truly. It was all different a moment ago. Honestly, it was. I promise."

Edmund rolled his eyes. "Oh, come on. That's going a bit far. You've had your joke. Hadn't you better drop it now?"

Lucy grew very red in the face and tried to say something, though she hardly knew what she was trying to say and burst into tears. She turned around and hugged Birdie who is standing behind her this whole time. Birdie frowned deeply at her cousins while she gently rubbed her little and favorite cousin's back.

Her blue eyes shifted on the large wardrobe with a contemplative face. 'Lucy always stay honest and never lie for once. She looks like she truly believes this Narnia is real…that this wardrobe truly is magical.' She couldn't help but think that maybe there is a truth about the wardrobe, even though it proves to be an ordinary wardrobe.
