"Your welcome." Edmund said to his brother as he sat down next to the blonde on the bench.
"I had it sorted." Peter said standing from his seat almost as if deliberatly trying to escape from his younger brother's presence.
"What was it this time?" Susan asked.
"He bumped me."
"So you hit him?" Lucy sounded confused.
"No after he bumped me, they tried to make me appologise, that's when I hit him."
"Really is it that hard just walk away?" Susan asked.
"I shouldn't have to! Don't you ever get tried of being treated like a kid?" Peter asked.
"Um, we are kids!" Edmund replied.
"But I wasn't always!" At one point in the four childrens lives they were all adults, however no body else here knew that, the only person who had been told of their adventure in Narnia was the professcer, who had been so kind as to take them in for a while. The station atmosphere was extremly tense and no one really knew what to say that wouldn't cause an argument, after all Peter was still in a fuss that Edmund had helped him in that fight a moment ago, when the blonde 'had it sorted.'
"It's been a year, how long does he expect us to wait?" Peter asked his siblings as he sat back down on the bench.
"I think it's time to accept that we live here, it's no use pretending any different." Susan replied crossing her arms over her chest in a mimic of what their mother used to do when she was annoyed with them over something.
"Pretend your talking to me." Susan said quickly.
"But we are talking to you."
"Ow!" Lucy exclaimed suddenly as she rose from her seat on the bench, her siblings turning their heads to look at her in confusion.
"Quiet Lu." Susan mumbled to Lucy as the younger girl looked around at them.
"Something pinched me!" She said pointing to the wall that had previously been behind her when she was sat down.
"Hey, stop pulling!" Peter shouted at Edmund as he too stood up frm the bench, Edmund just sent him a confused glare.
"I'm not touching you." He replied, Susan just watched in confusion, just like Edmund.
"Will all of you just-" Susan stopped mid-sentence as she stood up feeling something pulling at her as well, Edmund rose from the bench too, most probably for the same reason, "What is that?" She asked her siblings as they all stood together in a line as the train began to speed past them.
"It feels like magic." Lucy said happily as she looked down the line at her three older siblings.
"Quick everyone hold hands!" Susan told her siblings realising what Lucy was getting at.
Lucy grabbed her sisters hand, gripping it for dear life. Susan and Peter held hands, feeling slightly embaressed at the factor, but it did remind them both of when they were younger and neither had a single complaint. The three of them held each other's hands tightly and it was when Peter went to take Edmund's hand that the problems started.
"I'm not holding your hand!" Edmund shouted out as he and Peter locked eyes, pieces of paper and rubbish flying around them and the train zooming by infront of them. The younger brother was still annoyed at his older brother from earlier.
"Just-" Peter started as he tried to grab his brother's hand again, this time succeeding in grabbing something, so didn't think any more of it. Peter, if he had bothered to look down, would have noticed that he was only holding on to his brother's thin fingers.
No one else in the area noticed as the train station began to come apart piece by piece. The cieling was falling apart, the lights smashed above their heads, putting the station in a state of near darkness. Posters were being torn apart from where they were placed around the platform and the wind began to increase in strength. The wall behind the four of them that was made of carfully placed bricks to spell out the word Strand began to disappear and be replaced by different scenery entirely as the train rushed past them, every one else disappearing.
Peter, who thought that he had a tight enough grip on his younger brothers hand, had thought wrong, as the raven haired boy slipped his hand away from his brother's grip that had only just been holding on to the end of his fingers.
All four of them smiled as the station disappered and oppoiste them they could see what looked to be a rock and as they all allowed their eyes to follow the train to see where it went they could all see the most beautiful sunlit day with a lovely beach and blue sea resting underneath it. Lucy, Peter and Susan kept their eyes locked on the wonderful sea view in front of their eyes and they honestly just couldn't believe it.
Edmund, who still remembered the last time he had been to Narnia extremly clearly, allowed a smile to plaster itself on to his face as it was finally time for them all to return and this time he would be with his family for the whole journey there and back. Or so he had hoped.
The smile began disappearing off of his face as the scenery infront of him began to change drastically. The beautiful sea view became a boring green and when Edmund looked down he could see leaves beneath his feet.
Suddenly Edmund reached out for his brothers hand, but found that he couldn't grab a hold of it. He averted the gaze of his eyes, so that he was looking at his brothers hand and yet he still couldn't grab a hold of it. Edmund took a deep breath, closed his eyes and tried again putting all of his faih in to it, yet the result was exactly the same as it had been previously and Edmund was beginning to panic. As he looked at his brother's hand he saw that his siblings were disappearing from his view.
The didn't seem to notice that he was disappearing and Edmund realised why. Peter had held on to his fingers, so hadn't noticed when Edmund had let go of his hand.
Edmund looked around to see a dense wood and he was right in the middle of it. The small clearing was surrounded by trees, grass and leaves that littered the floor. The leaves below Edmund's feet were a mixture of colours, but mainly green and brown, although some held hints of orange on them. They made a crunching sound as Edmund moved his foot forward a step before stopping.
The clearing was surrounded by trees! And he was in Narnia, the trees in Narnia could talk and Edmund could use that to find out where he was, what was going on and how to get back to his brother and sisters, because being alone again is not how he wanted to spend his time in Narnia.
"Hello!" He shouted to the trees, "I'm King Edmund the Just and I need your help!" No answer. "Hello!" Edmund shouted getting more and more desperate by the second as he was given no answer once again. Why weren't the trees answering him like they always had done in the past when he had lived in Nanria for all of those years. "Hello! Please answer me!" He called one last time and still he recieved no answer.
Edmund sunk to his knees, tears starting to form in his eyes as he felt the all to familier feeling of despair start to run through him as it registered in his mind that he was alone, in Narnia, with no clue as to the where abouts of his brother and sister all that he knew is that they were probably having fun at that lovely looking beach.
As Edmund sat on the floor of the wood, the silence scaring him more and more by the second he suddenly had a horrible realisation. Susan was right! Well, that wasn't the horrible part of it, he didn't mind Susan being right, but he did mind that he didn't listen all because he couldn't let go of his and Peter's short and pointless arugment.
Edmund had let go of his brothers hand and in doing so he had brought him self to here (wherever here actually was,) away from them thanks to his on stupidity, his own pride.
This was his fault.
Edmund let his tears fall as he remained alone in the dark forest space.
I know it's a bit short, but I should be able to upload the next chapter soon so that should make up for it. I hope you like it, please review and thanks for reading :)
