She was late. She knew it. After all, it was not her fault! Of course she had tried to leave before. But there was David. That guy was the most handsome guy, as well as the richest she knew. She couldn't believe her chance when he asked her to go with him to the ball. She knew that she was pretty, but her parents didn't understand how important it was to be elegant. So she was stuck with clothes that every middle class girl wore at this time. She didn't think that he would notice her, least talk to her. So when he asked her out at the end of the class at her university, she forgot the time, and was now hurrying to arrive on time. Besides, she was feeling a bit guilty, because she completely forgot to tell her siblings that her parents were coming back today. Luckily, she knew that they were going at the station to greet some of their friends who were "playing Narnia" (as she names that game) with them.
But still, it would fit if she was the latest to arrive, the relations with her family were already tense, and she needed money to buy a dress gown.
So there she was, running, or at least trying to because of her high heels. Just as she entered the hall, she heard a woman's voice saying "The train from Bristol is about to arrive on platform11. I repeat, the train from Bristol is about to arrive on platform11." Upon hearing this, she sighed in relief, she would be there just on time. She climbed the stair, and found herself on the platform. But there was nobody around. Then she caught her glimpse of blond hair, and recognise her older brother two platforms away; near him were their other siblings . She looked up in wondering, and saw that she was on Platform 9. She raised her arm, waved and called her siblings who had their back on her.
"Peter! Whooh! Ed! Lucy! I'm here! I'm com..."
But she never end that sentence. The worst event she ever witnessed was happening in front of her eyes. Indeed, the train derailed just as it was entering the station, staggered a bit, then crushed upon her three siblings who weren't fast enough to move. Then one of the carriage caught fire, and she heard a scream, a scream that she knew was her mother's. It was too much for her, and Susan fainted, emotions overwhelming her, blissful darkness easing tha pain on her heart.
A/N: Hello!
Another fic about Susan's life after she was left alone, you might think. Well, maybe, but her life from my point of view; I've decided to give a second chance to Susan, because everyone should get one. Besides, she is my favourite character in Narnia.
I hope you'll like it, it's my first attempt at a Narnia fic, so I would be really glad if you could give me your advice about it.
