Chapter 1

Peter

We stumbled through the newest portal that Aslan created for us. No time has passed, we knew the rules. We were on our way to our new boarding school when we stumbled into Narnia. We were there for a few weeks, but only a second here in England. I glanced to my siblings, Lucy hated leaving. I wrapped my arm around her, and walked to the car taking us to school. We all climbed in, each of us offering small smiles, but no comments. Whenever we return we're expected to be Kings and Queens, then we come back and we're teenagers being shipped off. I glanced out the window, drifting into my imagination, and thoughts of Narnia slipping through. I smiled, Narnia was somewhere I could truly be myself in, a leader, brave, kind. We could all be ourselves. I looked to my siblings, Susan, a brave, kind, smart girl. Edmund, cunning, brave, and charismatic. And Lucy. Dear, sweet Lucy, she's almost too innocent for this world, which is why she belongs in Narnia, with the rest of us. She's sweet, caring, brave, and strong-minded.

I love my siblings, and seeing them here, somehow, made me sad, angry, for them. We deserved better. They deserved better. We drove for what seemed like hours before we finally arrived at a castle-like building. I sighed. "Here we are." Susan glanced in my direction, her eyes sad, but mainly bored and anxious. I gave a reassuringly smile, and nodded to Edmund. "Don't worry, this will be fine." I was 18, Susan 17, Edmund 15, and Lucy 13. They were all we really had left, as we didn't see mom much.

We walked into the school, and were immediately overwhelmed by people. There were hundreds of students, and I was afraid Lucy would get swept away. I clung to her hand, for her sake, not mine. I looked at my sister's schedule, and escorted her to her first class. "Now, Lucy, don't be afraid, they're just like you." I added in a whisper, "And remember, if anyone says anything bad, just remember you're a Queen." Lucy smiled, and hugged me around the neck.

"Thanks." She whispered, and disappeared behind the classroom door.

I smiled, and walked to my first class. I knew Edmund and Susan could handle themselves, but it was Lucy I was worried about, she was so young. I shrugged it off, and walked inside, carrying myself high. I saw dozens of eyes search me. The guys weary, and the girls amazed. My face heated, but I quickly sat down and opened my textbook, waiting for my face to cool down.
