Chapter 2: Lucy and the wardrobe

All of the children were suck inside on this extremely boring and rainy day. Stella was sitting on the couch with Lucy and Susan, who was playing a word game with Peter.

" Gastrovascula." Peter sighed." Come on, Peter! Gastrovascula!" Susan said impatiently.

" Is it Latin?" Peter said, sighing again.

" Yes."

" Is it Latin for: Worst game ever invented?" Edmund said laughing, Peter joining in. This made Susan angry so she slammed the book shut.

" Leave it, you two" Stella said glaring at them. " This is a good game for people who like words! Leave Susan be!" Stella's angry tone made both of the boys shut up.

" We could play hide and seek." Lucy suggested.

" But were already having so much fun." Peter replied, with sarcasm heavy in his voice.

" Come on, Peter! Please! Please?" Lucy asked making her best puppy dog face.

" 1... 2...3..." Peter started counting and everyone got up and ran to different hiding spots. Susan found an empty chest, Stella found a cupboard. Lucy was about to go behind a curtain, but Edmund pushed her out of the way.

" I was here first!" Lucy scowled at him before running to another room. Peter was almost done counting now." Good thing Lucy didn't debate with Edmund" Stella thought. All of a sudden Lucy came running from where ever she was hiding yelling:

" I'm Back! It's alright I'm back!"

" SHH! He's coming!" Edmund said that right when Peter was walking through the doorway.

" I don't think you two have quite got the hang of this game."

" But haven't you been wondering where I was?" Lucy asked. By now Stella and Susan had both joined the group.

" One game at a time, Lu. we don't all have your imagination."

" But... I've been gone for hours." Lucy said confused.

" Lucy, where did you go?" Stella asked her.

" Well, I was hiding in the wardrobe, and i kept on walking very far back. I thought it was an awfully big wardrobe, but then I fell right into this place called Narnia. When I was walking, I met a faun who's name was Mr. Tumnus. He invited me for tea, but I fell asleep there. I was gone for 5 hours." Lucy said, seeming quite confident.

" Let's go check the wardrobe." Stella said.

" You can't be serious." Peter said. Stella just glared at him.

" Where's the room, Lucy?"

" Come on." She said, grabbing Stella's hand. So all of them followed to the room with the wardrobe. Susan went to the back of the wardrobe while Edmund felt around it.

" Lucy, the only wood in here is the back of the wardrobe." Susan told her. " That's enough, Lucy."

" I wouldn't lie about this!"

" Lucy couldn't of made this up on the spot. I find it very improbable that there is a wood there, but I'm not going to say I don't believe you and I won't judge you." Stella told Lucy.

" Well I believe you." Edmund said with grin on his face.

" You do?"

" Yea. Didn't I tell you about the football field in the bathroom cupboard."

" Oh, would you just stop! You just have to make everything worse."

" Shut up! You think your Dad! But your not!" Edmund yelled running out of the room.

" Well that was nicely handled." Susan said, sarcastically.

" I'm not lying about it." Lucy said in a quiet voice.

"I believe you. Don't worry Lucy." Stella said comfortingly.

" Susan's right, Lu. That's enough." Peter left the room as well. Poor Lucy was close to tears.

" Come here." Stella asked holding out her arms. Lucy ran straight into them. Stella sat down and pulled Lucy into her lap. She let Lucy sob as much as she wanted while she stroked her hair whispering too her soothingly. She didn't notice Peter at the door. Peter was watching them and felt horrible about what he had said to Lucy. He could have pretended to believe her, at least. He looked at Stella who seemed to be acting as the older sibling right now. He had just left Lucy by herself! Peter knew he had to corner Stella to thank her. Even though he had a feeling she was going to be angry at him. Just then Stella noticed Peter at the door.

" Not now." She mouthed to him. So Peter nodded to her and left.

" Stella, why don't they believe me?" Lucy asked.

" I can't say for sure why, but when people get older, some start to lose their imagination. Not completely, but they start losing faith in things that adults say are not real. When your siblings were younger, like you, they probably had lots of imagination. But, when we turn 10, around that age, parents start to discourage their children of those things and make them look at life more realistically. That's why your siblings don't believe you."

" I see now."

" How about we go back and have dinner." Stella asked Lucy, who nodded in agreement. So they stood up, Stella took Lucy's hand and they went to the drawing room to have some soup. After they were done, Stella went to help Lucy get ready for bed, since Lucy was still upset with Susan.

" Will you read me a story?" Lucy asked Stella.

" I'm sorry, I promised your brother I would talk to him. I can sing to you if you want..." Stella said.

" Yes please."

" His spirit joined and so was formed

Ten thousand years ago...

Between the swan and hercules

where even dark clouds glow

To live with grace to ride the swell

to yet be strong of will

to love the wind to learn it's song

and empty space to fill.

Apollo taught me to rhyme

Orpheus taught me to play

Andromeda cast down her sign

And Vega lights my way."

Stella looked over and Lucy was fast asleep. She smiled and went to the boys room and knocked on the door.

" Come in." So she opened the door which revealed a very nervous looking Peter.

" Alright, Peter. I have a very good guess that you wanted to talk about what happened earlier on today?" Stella asked. Peter nodded. " I'm very tired and I want to read another chapter in my book, so can you please say what you need to say?" Peter took a deep breath.

" I'm sorry that you had to be comforting Lucy. It should have been me."

" So you should be sorry! It should have bee you or Susan comforting her. But I don't mind. "

" Look, thank you for doing that, but you don't actually believe her do you?"

" Like, I said before, It's highly unlikely that she did find a land, but I'm not going to judge her because of that."

" Thank you, Stella. For listening to me." Stella nodded and got up to leave. " Oh, and Stella..."

" Yes?"

" I think your pretty." Stella stopped and made a confused expression, which then turned to laughter. She smiled at Peter who had his hand cupped over his mouth, not believing what he had just said out loud.

" Thank you, Peter." She walked back to her room, almost unable to contain her laughter. So Stella went to sleep that night, again with warmth and laughter. Stella didn't hear Lucy get up in the middle of the night. She was dreaming about this forest Lucy had described to her when Lucy ran into their room, jumping on her and Susan.

" I've been back!" Lucy shouted before she ran out of the room. Susan and Stella exchanged looks of confusion before getting up and putting robes on. They followed her too Peter's room. Edmund was following them. They got in right when Lucy was waking Peter up.

" Get up! I've been back!"

" Oh, you were just dreaming, Lucy." Susan said.

" But I haven't! I saw Mr. Tumnus. And this time, Edmund went." Peter sat up and looked at Edmund.

" You saw the faun?"

" Well, he didn't actually go with me. He was... What were you doing?" Everyone had their attention on Edmund now.

" I was just playing along. I'm sorry Peter. I shouldn't have encouraged her. But you know how children are these days. Some just don't know when to stop pretending." Edmund said. Stella gave him the meanest look he had ever seen her give. She could have slapped him. Lucy's face was scrunched up and she was about to cry. She ran out of the room, they all followed giving Edmund dirty looks. They followed Lucy who had run into the professor. Crap!! They all thought.

" You children are one shenanigan in the stable!! Professor! I told the children you were not to be disturbed."

" It's alright, Mrs, Macready. But first, I think this one is in need of some hot chocolate." The professor said, motioning to Lucy. Peter, Stella and Susan started to walk away. The professor cleared his throat. " Come with me to my office." They all shot each other worried glances. When they got there he sat down at his desk. " You seemed to have upset the delicate internal balance of my house keeper."

" Were very sorry, Sir. It won't happen again." Peter said grabbing Susan's hand turning around to leave.

" It's our sister, Sir. She's upset."

" Hence the weeping."

" She thinks she's found a magical land. In the upstairs wardrobe."

" What did you say?" The professor asked, motioning for them to sit down.

" That's she's found a magical land."

" What was it like?"

" Like talking to a lunatic!" Susan said.

" No! I mean the land!"

" Um, it was only Lucy who went. But your not saying believe her do you?"

" Well, if she's not mad and not lying, you assume she's telling the truth." The professor said, lighting his pipe.

" Edmund said they were just pretending." Peter stated.

" And he's usually the more truthful one, is he?"

" This would be the first time..." Susan said.

" She's your sister! your family. You might try acting like one." Now the professor left Peter and Susan to ponder, since Stella already believed her. All of the older Pevensies fell a sleep feeling quite guilty. Now, Stella on the other hand fell a sleep worrying about Lucy.

" I do hope she'll be alright. tomorrow." Stella thought before sleep took over.

SO there's chapter 2. I might not update for about a week because my brother just got very, very sick. He's in the hospital right now, so I'm kind of depressed. Hopefully he'll get better soon.
