Chapter 2

(I don't know the actual dialogue for this, so just go with it. please. Pretty please with a cherry on top?)

(Amber's P.O.V)

(1 hour later they were nearly at the train station.)

I shook Lucy gently. "Lucy, we're nearly there." She opened her eyes slowly, then she saw she had been sleeping on my shoulder.

"Don't worry about it." I quickly say when her mouth opens to apologise. "Now, why don't you wake up your siblings and tell them to get ready. We probably have about 5 minutes." Lucy smiles then proceeds to wake up everyone in the loudest and annoying way possible. By jumping on them and shouting at them. When she finished, she sat next to me.

"Was that fun?" I ask. Lucy nods looking at me with a big grin on her face. We both start giggling until I say "I'm going to go wait by the door, we'll be there in a second." Lucy nods, so I gather my belongings and walk over to train door. The train huffs, then slowly starts slowing down, until it comes to a holt at the station. The doors slowly open, giving the sunlight a chance to shine right into my eyes. I blink a couple of times, before picking up my bag and stepping outside, onto the gravel path in front of the train station. I smile, knowing I was nearly home.

When I hear voices behind me, I turn to see the Pevensies walking out of the train. The doors then shut, and the train chugs away. Lucy smiles at me then skips over to where I am, taking my hand. I see Susan narrowing her eyes at me, confused why Lucy just took the hand of a stranger.

'She must not realise that we stayed up talking last night. Lucy knows a lot about me, but I also know a lot about her.' I think, shrugging of her gaze.

"What do we do now?" She asks. I smile and squeeze her hand.

"Macready will come get us, then take us to the house." I feel eyes on me, then look up to see Peter, Edmund and Susan looking at me with a range of emotions, but confusion the main one.

"What." I snap. I have a very short temper, and a sarcastic, snappy mouth. I can't help it. If you end up pissing me off, god help you. I feel Lucy squeeze me hand a bit. Then I remember that I was still holding her hand. I look at her, then squeeze her hand back.

Peter looks a bit shocked at my outburst, but quickly recovers.

"We were just wondering…" He trails off a bit.

"Wondering what?" I inquire, feeling a little uncomfortable at the prying eyes.

Edmund, seeing my discomfort, says kindly, but bluntly "We were just wondering how you know what it going to happen so well." Peter and Susan glare at him a little for being so blunt, but I relax a bit, knowing that they honestly were just curious, well, at least he was.

"Oh right, I forgot, I've only told Lucy." I blurt out. Upon seeing the confused looks (these people are confused a lot it seems) I explain.

"My name is Amber Kirke, and according to Lucy, you are being evacuated to my grandfather's house, Professor Kirke. I have lived there for ten years of my life." Edmund looks at me and asks

"Can you tell us about it a bit?" His two older siblings look at him a bit strangely, but I ignore the looks and respond with

"What do you want to know?"

Lucy smiles and says confidently, but looking a bit sheepish at the last sentence. "Tell us about the Professor, Macready and Corta. I fell asleep when you started talking about her." The others look confused at the last name said (again what is it with those people and looking confused) but I ignore it (again). Instead I grab my bag, lay it down, and then sit on it, Lucy choosing to sit next to me. Edmund follows my move, but sitting on his own bag.

Peter looks a bit hesitant to do so, but Susan starts glaring at us like we are mad! The cheek of her. Eventually Peter sits down on his bag, leaving Susan to be the only one left standing up. I pat the ground.

"Don't worry, the earth doesn't bite." I say with a slight smirk. I hear Edmund chuckle. I look at him and smile. He smiles back. Looks like I've found a friend in Lucy and Edmund. Susan huffs, obviously annoyed, but sits down nether-the-less.

"Go on, tell us about them, pleaaase" Lucy pleads, fixing me with her puppy eyes. Ok, Lucy is now officially cuter than puppies.

Edmund states "No-one can resist Lucy's puppy eyes."

I smile and start my descriptions.

"Mrs Macready is the Professor's housekeeper. She is like a second mother to me. She can be very kind, but also very strict. If you do something stupid, you will be told off. On the other hand, if you are upset, she will be kind, and get you some cocoa (hot chocolate) and comfort you. But whatever you do, don't get on her bad side.

The professor, my grandfather, is a kind man, who believes. He can be a bit eccentric, but very nice. When you get to know him, you will love him.

Corta, as Lucy mentioned earlier, is my sister. She's 15 years old and has white hair, like mine, and brown eyes. I haven't seen her in two years, but we still respond by letters. She's quite clever so when I had to leave, she didn't have to."

I purposely left out the bit about the other land, as I didn't want them to think she was crazy. I had only told Lucy as she is 8, so still has a childish imagination, while as it looks like the oldest two had grown out of it. I don't know about Edmund though. I hope he hadn't though.

Luckily, no-one asked about what I meant when I said I had to leave, but I could see it was because of the scared looks on their faces.

"You're all scared a bit, aren't you?" I question, though it comes out more like a statement. Lucy answers for them all, saying "Yeah, we are." I smile and say encouragingly "Don't worry. While you are here, you have me and Corta. It will be fine." They smile weakly at that, but I take it as progress. Then I hear faint horse tracks trotting in the distance. Apparently the Pevensies look to wear the noise is, then back at me. I shrug and say one work.

"Macready."
