Chapter 2
Peter's POV
It was raining the next day, so we stayed inside; Susan was playing her dictionary game with me and Michelle.
"Come on Michelle, Gas-tro-vas-cu-lar" Susan said sounding enthusiastic.
"Is it Latin?" Michelle asked bored
"Yes" Susan instantly replied
"Is it Latin for the worst game ever invented" Edmund suddenly chipped in causing Michelle and Melanie to giggle at his comment. At the sound of Melanie's giggle Edmund smiled, while Michelle's laughter sounds like sweet music to me. I couldn't help smiling, I looked back at Susan who closed the dictionary and placed it back on the self.
"We could play hide and seek" Lucy suggested "please, Peter please?" she asked giving me her puppy dog face I could resist.
"But we're already having so much fun" I told her trying to sound enthusiastic but I was failing.
"But you and Shelly promised me yesterday" Lucy reminded me using the nickname she came up with for Michelle.
"1...2...3...4...5" I started counting as her face lit up with a smile.
They all ran out and hid, while counting I heard a cupboard door open and closing. I finished counting and started checking the cupboards and found Michelle in one of them.
"Found you Shelly" I smirked at her as I gave her a helping hand out of the cupboard.
"How did you know?" she asked me
"I heard you go in there to hide, Shelly" I told her "may I call you Shelly?"
"Sure, why not Pete or should I call you Petey?" she smirked as she asked me.
"It's up to you"
"Okay then Petey"
We didn't have to go far when we heard Lucy shouting
"I'm here, I'm back, and I'm alright!"
Shelly and I walked in to the room to find Lucy and Edmund out of their hiding spot.
"I don't think you two have got the idea of the game yet" I told them as Susan and Melanie walked in.
"Does this mean I win?" asked Susan
"Hey! I was still hiding as well" Melanie told her
"Gee, Susan for someone who is smart, you really need to pay attention to the game and its participants" I told her
"But I was gone for hours" Lucy told us
"Whoa, calm down Lucy you need to explain this game to us before we can all play" Shelly told her.
"But it really was there" Lucy told us sadly.
Michelle's POV
As Lucy told us about the land called Narnia which she found through the wardrobe in the spare room, a flick of recognition about that land went through my brain and from the look from Melanie's face she recognised that land from somewhere as well.
That night Melanie, Susan, Peter and I were woken up by a very excited Lucy.
"Wake up Peter! Wake up Shelly! Narnia is really there, I went and saw Mr Tumnus again and this time Edmund came with me!"
"You saw the faun?" Peter asked Edmund unbelievably
Edmund stood there in silence while Lucy spoke for him, "No he didn't he wasn't there with me to see Mr Tumnus, he was… what were you doing there Edmund?" Lucy asked confused.
"I'm sorry Pete, I shouldn't have encouraged her, it's just some children don't know when to stop pretending" Edmund replied smugly.
Lucy ran out of the room in tears while Melanie and I just followed her throwing Edmund a look of disgust as we followed her.
"You always have to make things bad!" I heard Peter yell at Edmund as we left.
"Shut up! You think your dad but you're NOT!" Edmund yelled back
My mind blanked out from the conversation as Peter and Susan ran out of the room following us, we all ran around the corner when we saw Lucy crying as she hugged a man who we assumed was professor Kirke.
"You children are one shenanigan shy of sleeping in the stables" we heard Mrs Macready mumble as she walked towards us, "Oh, professor! I told them you weren't to be disturbed" Mrs Macready told the professor when she saw him.
"That's okay Mrs Macready I appreciate the work you've done but could you please take this one down to the kitchens and make her a cup of hot chocolate, she needs it" the professor told her.
"Of course" Mrs Macready told professor Kirke before beckoning Lucy to follow her.
Peter had his hand on my arm while the other was on Susan, he pulled me back along with Susan who pulled Melanie and we tried to go back to our rooms but professor Kirke wanted to talk to us, we all turned around and he beckoned us to his office.
Once we were all inside and seated he started the conversation
"You seem to have upset the internal balance of housekeeping"
"We are very sorry sir and it won't happen again" Peter spoke up
"Its sister sir" Susan told him
"The weeping girl?" he asked
"Yes, she's upset" Melanie told him
"Hence the weeping" he shot back with sarcasm dripping off word.
"She thinks she's found a magical land called Narnia through the wardrobe in the spare room" I explained to him "I want to believe her but it just seems impossible"
"What did you say?" he asked me
"She thinks she's found a magical land called Narnia" Susan replied for me
"What was it like?" he asked again
"Like talking to a lunatic!" Susan exclaimed
"No not her, I mean the magical land, Narnia" he told us
"You mean you believe her?" Peter asked him
"What do they teach in schools these days?" he asked rhetorically
I shrugged
"Logically it's impossible!" Susan said in a surprised voice
"Plus Edmund said they were only pretending" I chipped in
"And he's usually the truthful one?" the professor asked
"No this would be the first" Peter told him
"Well your sister isn't lying and she's isn't mad so logically she's telling the truth" the professor clarified as he us led to the door of his office.
As we all walked back to our rooms, the Narnia conversation was replaying through my head then suddenly-
She was in a room that was red and gold when she saw two figures dressed royally sit up from the king sized bed in front of her.
"Dada" she called out to the man.
"Aww, look at her Elizabeth she has your dark brown eyes" the man said to the woman who she assumed was her mother.
"Yes and her dark black hair which she got from you makes her look almost Calormene, don't you my sweetness, come here Michelle say hello to your sister Melanie"
"Mama" Melanie said as her three year old sister who has similar features walked towards her.
"They're such a good girls" the father said as one of the servants walked in.
"Your majesties, the white witch Jadis and her followers are getting nearer, you have to leave and save yourselves" the servant told them.
"Nonsense! We will stay and help but Princesses Michelle and Melanie are to be evacuate out of Narnia and harm's way" the king replied firmly then gestured the servant to leave.
"Oh Edward, why did they have to come at this time, the girls are so young they won't live to see what Cair Paravel is like, Aslan came to me in my sleep and told me that the girls would be taken to a different world and they will come back when the daughters of Eve and the sons of Adam come to fulfil the prophecy, he also told me that they would help them too, such futures for our beloved girls but we won't be there to see them." Elizabeth told him
"Don't worry about them dearest, it's best that they leave this world and to the other, I don't want them to suffer if we lost. And if Jadis heard about the prophecy our girls are helping to fulfil she would not hesitate to kill them"
End of scene
The scene playing in her head was like a memory, but why were they with the kings and queens of Narnia?
Michelle didn't notice where she was going and walked into a wall.
"Are you okay?" Peter asked me
"Yeah I guess I was so deep in thought I didn't see the wall in front of me"
"Okay then, goodnight I hope Lucy didn't keep you from your sleep that much"
"That's okay"
I walked into the room and tried to sleep but failed to my thoughts kept me awake,
Why were there two people in the room I saw? Who were they? Could the two princesses be me and Mel? I thought not long after that I fell into a deep sleep dreaming about this land called Narnia with centaurs, fauns and unicorns.
