Hey there thank you soo much for my reveiws, ps I love Finchel too, just to let you know there will be character death, sorry, but MOST DEFINITELY! Still a suspian so keep reading.
The funeral car drove up the crowded yet inclomplete London streets with all the Pevensies sat in the back of the car, all their heads held high they found it hard but they had to be strong for the time being at least. Yet to anybody loosing their parents would be hard.
Lucy stared out of the car window into the depressing streets of the city, there were barley and buildings left standing after the Blitz. She craned her neck forward to see her old house, well what was left of it there was a pile of rubble, grey and dull. There was also a pile of large red bricks leaned up against a broken wall. Yet another part of her life crumbled before her. It was so hard now to even try to remember her life in London, that is when her mother and father and the whole family was together, they had all been separated so many times but now she was seperated form her parents for good and for ever. She remebered the last time they were all together was on a picnic. She rembered running around with Edmund, making delicate dais chains with susand and splashing Peter in the river, It had been a great day for her all thoose years ago. When they had been evacuated to the country Lucy looked forward to the country, but when she found Narnia she soon forgot the little things like that day.
She sighed and looked forward as the car parked up outside the church chosen to hold the funeral on the outskirts of London.
It was a sunday afternoon so the church was still open there was nobody else attending the funeral so it would not last long this upset them all a bit, they wanted more time to say goodbye to their parents, but being in a war funerals had to be short. The family got out of the car and walked up towards the church entrance. The scent of candle wick pricked there noses as salty tears pricked theor eyes as they saw there parents cofins side by side at the top of the altar. They all looked at each other in turn the gripped each others hands. The last time they had all walked side by side like this was when they were crowned kings and queens of Narnia, for everyone of them. The best day of their lives.
Lucy was the first to shed tears in the funeral it was only five minutes in she didn't want her parents to leave for good, who would? She had just turned fifteen but when she was with her brothers and sister she felt like the ten year old girl in Narnia looking at all the tree tops covered in snow and discovering a world unlike any other. She had wishe and prayed so hard that she could be young again in Neverland, but would Aslan ever hear, or was he being completely truful when he said they would not go back.
Susan followed she cried watching her sister, she was grown up but her sister was still young she needed her parents and she never thought that her and Peter would be good enough to support her young mind and keep up her hope after all they had been through themselves, especially her she missed Caspian so much. His dark eyes that made her melt, oh goodness she had played his image in her head so many times she and the whole world had forgotten. She was crying for him as well not just her parents. To her she felt as if Caspian had died for she would never she him agina. She took a slight breath and focused her mind on her parents she was, after all, there for them. When they were in America she hated her parents for putting her out on dates as if she was a trophy to be paraded around, infact the last time she saw them was when when Peter yelled at them for what had happened between her and her last suitor George:
She had been on a date with him all night at a dance, Peter as always keeping close by, they had been dancing alkwardly for hours. They had danced like this for around an hour when George decided to take or rather drag an unwilling Susan out into the gardens. Peter had not noticed she had gone until it was too late. Had asked her for a kiss and she had obviously refused, she was still faithful to Caspian no matter what. Then George got angry he pushed her into the back wall causing a breath taking pain race down her spine and her to scream. his was when Peter finally heard her he ran to her and saved her , like he always did but he was fuming with his parents afterwards.
Susan looked over towards Edmund who had stayed calm and contained until they began to talk about his father at war this bought back memories from narnia. He wondered if he had been as brave as he father in the narnian wars, it hrt him so much we would never knew. He failed to show any emotion when his father left for war, the last time he saw him. He had been an idiot and nearly killed his mother and his family he was so selfish. The morning after that at the train station he pulled away form his mother when she tried to kiss him, the last time she would ever kiss him. He felt so guilty.
The last to shed tears was Peter he had been so angry the last time he saw his parents after all they had put Susna through, he stared over at Susan she was crying softly, he gulped he had an ever bigger responsibility to protect his family, but was he up to that he had almost failed so many times before in Narnia. He didn't think he could do it on Earth after all that had happened in the war. Could he parent someone as free spirited as Lucy, as stubborn as Edmund and as vunerable as Susan. He knew he had done it before, but now it was his job for ever.
The service had ended and the siblings walked out holding hands, they walked back to their apartment.
They all hung up their coat and stared at each other in the hallway. Lucy ran towards Susan and hugged her waist tears pouring from her eyes onto Susan black laced dress. She stroked Lucy's hair and began to softly cry herself. Peter walked behind susan and hugged her softly letting her head rest on his shoulder blade. Edmund stared at the scene before him, he was never one to commit in family soft moments but this time he felt so empty he had to. He walked over to the scene and his older sister put his arm around her.
They stood in the hall for at least an hour, then they all went into the living room.
Lucy had Susan had stayed close to Lucy she needed someone to hold her someone to care for her and from now on it would be Susan. The sisters went and sat on the small couch in their living room, Susan wrapped her hand around Lucy's shoulder and let her head rest on her chest and stroked her soft ebony hair. Peter walked over to a chair and sat down his head resting on the very back of the chair, Edmund took the same position in the chair opposite andwas the first to break the silence.
"Pete are we going to work tommorow?" he asked with a slight nervousness in his voice.
Peter sighed and looked at Edmund, "Well of we want to pay for this place I suppose we have to the support from the Government will most definitely will not let it last forever so yes, we will. Susan will you go to work?"
Susan looked up at Peter she knew it would be a hard day as it was always as a shop girl like her but she sighed, "I suppose I must."
Peter looked sympathetically at his little sister, he did not want her in danger it was his job to protect them all from now on, "You don't have to Su."
Susan hated it when Peter was like this he hated to be wrong so if you diagreed with him he felt awful in her head so she shook her head defeated and said, "No if you and Ed are going to work then I should."
Lucy suddenly suddenly sat up and whispered, "I'll go to school then."
Susan took her shoulders and said to her," Just because were all going to work dosen't mean you have to go to school."
Lucy shook her head and whispered, "No I don't want to be the odd one out or alone in the apartment, I'll be ok."
Susan looked at Peter worriedly but the look on his face said it would be ok.
Lucy stood up and spoke confidentley, "I'll go to bed then."
Susan stood up but was stopped by Edmund who stood and put an arm around his little sister and led her to her bedroom.
Peter looked at Susan and she ran over to him crying her eyes out. He held her on his lap holding her head into his chest now crying as well, the pair stayed like that for a while until Peter carried a sleeping Susan to her bed and kissed his little sister on the head, she had received her first kiss and turned eighteen but she was still his baby sister to him.
Pretty Please reveiw my lovely peoplexxxx
