The beast had long sharp fangs with blood dripping down. His tongue was a toxic green and it had the eyes of a fly. Susan stepped back a few and booked it. The more she ran, the more creatures she would see. None of which looked like Narnians. What was she to do? She had no weapons. She didn't even know she was going. The creatures were still chasing Susan. Sweat was running down her pale skin. She stopped because if she ran any further, she would fall into a waterfall.

"Wait a minute!" Susan thought," This is the, what used to be, frozen river! That means I'm half way to Cair Paravel. The others must be there!"

Susan felt strong thuds on the ground, almost making the land shake. The creatures were still after her! Susan tumbled to the ground screamed until a shadow figure shot three of the monsters with arrows. The figure pulled out a spear and struck it through two of the menaces. The last one changed its direction from Susan to the mystery person and was running like a bull. The figure grabbed a sword and ran it in between the eyes.

The animal dropped to the ground and drew its last breath. The figure saw Susan sitting on the ground breathing heavily. As the person walked towards her, Susan saw some different features. It was a girl. Probably 16 to 18 years old. She was wearing a gold helmet and gold breastplate. Her skirt was a light brown. She was holding a horn, and another set of arrows and a bow and another sword.

"I'm guessing you'll be needing this," the girl spoke, handing the weapons and the horn to Susan.

"If you don't mind me asking, who are you?" Susan asked in a hushed tone.

"Don't you remember me?" the girl giggled.

"No. Should I?"

"Well I don't know you from the age you are now but your Queen Susan…the Gentle. Am I mistaken?"

"I am. But I asked you first. Who are you?"

"It's me…Aravis!"

"Aravis? The Aravis that went and married Cor in Archanland?"

"I'm your girl!"

"It is you! But, where are we. It seems like Narnia, but it's too gloomy. We're not being attacked again, are we?" Susan shaken.

"No. We are in the test area."

"Test area?"

"Yes. This is the land you lived in before. It was just a test. It was to see if you were worthy of living in the real Narnia. Here," Aravis pulled out her hand," I'll take you to the door where you will see that Narnia."

Susan pulled Aravis' hand and walked over the river. The journey seemed shorter then it had when Susan first in Narnia running to Aslan's how. They were close to the battlefield. Susan kept wondering what the new Narnia was like. Was there going to be evil? Do we age? Can we die? Will everyone be there?

"Here we are. The door of wonders," Aravis hailed.

"Is that really its name?"

"No, I just made it up. It doesn't have a name. Come on. The door will be closed forever in a few minutes!"

Susan and Aravis pulled on the door and finally got into the real Narnia. It looked exactly like the old Narnia. In front of the two girls were two gryphons. The girls hopped on them and glided through the air to Cair Paravel. Once there, Susan saw a crowd of people going inside the castle.

"We're going to go through the back!" Aravis hollered.

"Okay, but where are the gryphons landing?" Susan hollered back.

"There is no landing! We are dropped. Right. Here!"

The gryphons turned over and the girls were plummeting to the castle. Susan was thinking that she was going to die. Then someone caught her and Aravis. She opened her eyes to see Cor holding Aravis and Caspian holding her.

"Caspian!" Susan screamed.

"Come on. You have to get ready for the party," Caspian hurried.

"Party? For what?"
