Okay, sorry about the wait. Not only am I still packing, but I've been very frustrated lately. My evil step-sister, yep you heard correctly, decided to start rumors about me. I had to take a few days to calm my nerves. Now, I'm back and hopefully I'll be updating more often.
Disclaimer: No, I don't own any of this. C.S. Lewis owns everything except Riley. Although, it would be cool to be the author of such an amazing series. *sigh* oh well, guess I'll just live with it.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Riley refused to watch the Chronicles of Narnia when Will wanted to. He always asked why, and Riley told him that she didn't need to watch a movie with him in it, because he was right there. The real reason she didn't was because of Peter. Her heart would sink just hearing the word "Narnia."
Almost everyday, Riley would silently compare William to Peter. The resemblance was amazing. She wondered if it was the work of Aslan, or just a major coincidence. It wasn't possible, was it? That Peter somehow found a way to live in her time? If so, why? Riley wanted so much to ask Will, but feared that he would think she was insane. It had been three months since Riley and Will met and they were an official couple. She couldn't help it. When she was with Will, it felt right. It felt as if that was how it was suppose to be all along. There was just one problem, Riley felt as though she was cheating on Peter. But, was it so wrong that she decided to move on with her life? Peter was back in his own time and she was back in hers. Most likely he had found a new girl, so why couldn't she have a new guy? Plus, if Riley's theory was correct, she wasn't cheating at all, because Will was Peter. Or, at least he's his reincarnation.
"Okay, so you know that I have to go to London next week because I have to go back to filming Ironclad, right?" Will asked as they sat on the couch in Riley's house. When Will wasn't in London, he was always with her in the States. Riley tried to get him to let her go to London, or Los Angeles to visit him, but Will never wanted her to spend money just to see him.
"How could I forget? That mean movie is taking you away from me, once again," Riley replied, acting sad. Will swung his arm over her shoulder and pulled her closer to him.
"Yes, well that mean movie is making me money. And when I have money, I can buy you things."
"I thought I told you that I don't need material things. I'm happy just being with you," Riley told him.
"I know. But, we're getting off topic." Will said. "We're getting into more intense scenes and I'm going to be there longer than usual without a break."
"Fun fun."
Will continued, ignoring Riley's comment. "So, I was thinking that I'd like it if you joined me."
Riley turned and looked at him. Did he really just suggest what she thought he just suggested? It took her by surprise, and she didn't know how to respond.
"I know that we've only been dating for a short amount of time, and we've practically gotten to know each other over the phone, but I feel as if I need to be close to you all the time." Will explained. "And, I think that moving in together will help our relationship."
"Will…" Riley began, but Will cut her off, not even noticing that she was trying to talk.
"You could even sleep in a separate bedroom, if it would make you feel more comfortable. And, I'll be on set most of the day, so you'll have the place to yourself."
"William!" Riley practically yelled. Will snapped out of it and looked at her.
"I would love to go to London with you," she said. Will smiled and gently kissed her.
"I'm glad. You'll love it there, I promise." Will told her.
"Of course I will. I've always wanted to go there."
8 months later
Riley was frantically going in and out of rooms, trying to get everything packed. Will and her were headed back to the States. He was done filming and they were headed to Los Angeles for a while. Will wanted to show Riley his house there, to see if she liked it. They were in love, everyone saw it. Riley had met his entire family and friends. The first time she met his fellow cast mates from the Chronicles of Narnia, Riley felt like crying. They all looked so much like the people they portrayed. Riley caught herself on several occasions almost calling Skandar Edmund. It was strange how they all seemed a bit like Susan, Lucy and Edmund, but Riley knew better than to think about them. And so, the feeling was shooed off, and soon, Riley found herself forgetting all about Narnia and focusing on the life she was living.
"Sweetheart, calm down. We're not leaving until evening, and if you haven't noticed, it's 7 in the morning." Will pointed out as he stopped her from entering the bedroom for the fifth time.
"I know, I'm sorry. I'm just so excited. I haven't been in the USA for months. I'll finally be around people that talk like me." Riley told him, partially joking.
"Look who's talking. You have been picking up on British slang. I swear I heard you say 'bloody hell' the other day," Will said.
"Yeah…well….shut up," Riley attempted to strike back, but found nothing to say. Will laughed and led her toward the living room.
"Now, stay in here. I don't want you to go into the bedroom at all. I'm going to go take a shower, I'll be out in a while. Watch something on the telly, or read a book." he ordered. Riley gave him a weak smile and sat down on the couch. Will smiled before heading to the bathroom. Riley grabbed the remote and turned the TV on. She began to flip through channels, before stopping on one that caught her attention. There, on the screen, was one of the movies she had been avoiding for a year. Prince Caspian was its title, and the scene that was playing was when the Pevensies were in the subway station. Riley didn't know why, but she just set down the control and began watching it.
"You're welcome," Edmund said as he sat on the bench next to Peter. Peter shot him a look.
"I had it sorted," he replied. He stood up and walked a few steps, staring at the wall.
"What was it this time?" Susan asked.
"He bumped me," Peter answered.
"So you hit him?" Lucy asked, shocked. Peter turned and looked at them.
"No, after he bumped me, they tried to make me apologize." Peter corrected her. "That's when I hit him."
"Really, is it that hard just to walk away?" Susan asked.
"I shouldn't have to. I mean, don't you ever get tired of being treated like a kid?" Peter asked.
Riley's gaze was torn away from the television when she felt something weird. She slowly stood up and walked toward the bedroom. The door was shut, most likely Will's doing. Riley put her hand on the door knob and began to turn it. Slowly, the door opened. Riley walked inside and found that everything was exactly the same. She laughed at herself, before turning around and leaving the room. However, when Riley turned, she didn't see the hallway in Will's apartment. Instead, she found herself in a subway station.
Riley looked around at the people there. They were all wearing forties style clothing, and posters were up on the walls, that were clearly made during WWII. Riley was confused, she didn't know where she was. It didn't really occur to her until she heard many people shouting. She turned toward the noise and saw many school students huddled together. Riley felt scared at that moment and quickly made her way toward the group. She made her way to the front where she finally realized what was happening.

A/N: When sending reviews, if you have any constructive criticism or flame you want to send, please send it in a private message. I prefer my reviews to be happy, and cheerful. I just don't want to read about what I'm doing wrong. If someone doesn't like the way I write, don't tell me in a review. That, to me, seems extremely rude. So, now that that's said and done, hope you liked this chapter. Next one will be out soon.
