a/n: hey guys! how is everything going?
About this chapter I only want to tell you that about Peter's fight, I didnt write about it since I wanted to highlight his feelings towards England and his siblings and the scene wasn't in the book so...
Another thing is that I wanted to put the scene where they play in the water but I just feel it didnt fit for the chapter so it will go in the other one, along with Caspian's POV and maybe, a first scene of a new character.
Please enjoy and comment :)
Chapter 1 "Sunrise Of The Adventure"
Peter POV:
Everyone surrounding us was shining from excitement as we all waited for the train that would take us to the school. Another school year was starting and everyone was looking forward to it. Not for the lessons or the moody teachers or the feeling of being trapped by lots of information and the obligation of being responsible but for the wondering of the new students, the freedom of being apart of our parents for a whole year and just the delighting idea of being only with friends again.
This would be amazing, if it weren't for the tiny issue that this world wasn't our home.
My heart was home of a lot of pain, doubts and sadness about the time we had passed in England. A whole dull year in England.
However, this feelings were nothing compared to what I felt whenever I gazed to my siblings'expressions.
My youngest sister Lucy was always the sunshine of our house. She always saw the good side of the things and was always ready to cheer us up. She always had faith in that everything would be better and that after bad things, the good ones had to come.
But now...she still had faith, she faced everyday with a bravery that surprised me... though it wasn't unexpected, you know, it was for a reason that she held the title of the Valiant.
However, the sparkles that she always had in her eyes were slowly fading and it pained me to see it.
Edmund was always the one to joke everytime he had a chance. At first it might be a pain in the neck but afterwards, he made you laugh with his cunning and sarcastic expressions and jokes.
Now he wasn't much better. He tried not to show his feelings but I knew him too much for that. Since his experience with the White Witch, he grew distant from us but now, it was different and much worse and I was afraid to see how far it was going to reach.
But the one that I most suffered about was Susan. When we were in Narnia, she truly was herself . Always in a merry mood and at the same time, whenever a danger would threaten us, she would defend us with her life.
Her gentleness, her bravery and her protection toward us remained intact. She would forever be gentle; she would always be our confident, always would read storied to Lucy, always would make Turkish Delight for Edmund and would always be at my side whenever we had to protect the ones we loved. On the other hand, her shine in her eyes, her merry laugh and the glow that seemed to surround her, due to her happiness, seemed to be gone and I was afraid that it might be lost for forever.
Now we four were sitted in the same bench waiting for the damn train. We all seemed more serious than usual but Susan's face was...without life.
"Su, are you okay?" I asked her though the answer was obvious.
Su nodded and I thought that that was the only answer I would get when she suddenly said:
"Is there any hope we are getting back?".
I winced since her voice was empty. Not a slight trace of emotions.
And that was it. Noticing Susan's emptiness, Edmund's silence and Lucy's seriousness, drived me crazy. Why all this pain?
"It's been an year already" I hissed as I rose from the bench and three pair of eyes glued at me "How much time is he going to make us wait?" I finished, not being able to pronounce his name for my anger towards him was still huge.
Due to the fact that my feelings and thoughts were very readable on my face, Lucy immediately figured out the reason of my madness and she replied:
"He has a reason, Peter" Lucy declared and again, I noticed that her faith was as firm as always "We gotta have faith".
"Yeah but still, this officially sucks" Edmund said as he got more comfortable at his place on the bench "I don't know if I can wait any longer".
I nodded in agreement as I gazed at Susan.
Su didn't say a word but she grabbed Lucy's hand silently promising her to be always by her side.
I sighed and then sitted again on the bench, between Ed and Lu. I kept looking at floor when I felt a little warm hand grabbing mine: Lucy.
We remained silent when suddenly, Lucy jumped in surprise giving a shout and then just stared at the bench, visibly intrigued.
"Keep it quiet, Lu" Susan said.
"Bu something pinched me!" Lucy exclaimed, her eyes wide.
I was going to complain when suddenly, I felt something pinching me as well and in one quick motion, I was standing beside Lucy but glaring at my younger brother.
"Edmund, stop'it!" I hissed
"I didn't do any-" he started replying back but something jotled him and he rose from his seat as well, changing his exclamation "What the hell was that!".
Susan also rose from her seat, opening widly her eyes as a strong wind current blew all over the station.
"This is magic!" Lucy exclamed, grinning widly.
"Hold hands, now" Su said as she grabbed Lucy's right hand and my left hand.
"NO WAY!" Edmund shouted back for the wind was becoming indeed noisy...
"JUST DO IT!" I replied screaming as I held his left hand.
And we kept like this; nobody seemed to realize nothing of what was happening: Papers flying over all the place, the bricks of the wall behind us were disappearing and revealing a stone wall, as we looked forward, I noticed that the bricks in the front wall were disappearing but there were appearing slight traces of blue...though the train was making it hardly to confirm.
Suddenly the last part of the train raced in front of us and it disappeared as the exit of what now seemed a cave grew brighter until finally, you could see an utterly beautiful landscape: the amazing beach was surrounded by a tall cliff full of trees; everything under the bright and powerful sun.
As we slowly made our way towards that paradise, I quickly glanced at my siblings and what I saw, amost caused me to laugh from relief: Lucy had recover her cheerful expression and was smiling widely at the scene; Edmund's eyes has recovered it's warmness and was calmly staring at everything; Susan... Susan had recovered her brighteness and she was slowly smiling as she was more and more herself.
I didn't need a mirror to know that my expression was pretty much alike to theirs.
We stopped at the edge of the cave and looking behind, it surprised me to arrived from there and to know the fact that in another world, this would be a train station.
Lucy gave a few steps and then turned around staring at Susan as her smile grew wider; if that was even possible.
Susan reflected that smile and toghether, they ran towards the water, laughing, shouting and letting go of their shoes and jackets.
Ed and I looked at each other smiling and toghether, we followed the girls as I thought one last thing:
We finally were in home.
how do you think it was? As you may noticed, there are a few changes from the book and the movie. I hope you still like. I will try to update soon, which is more possible now due to the fact that im on spring vacations :D.
Hope you like and see you next time :).
