IS.
The loin looked at the girl, a sad smile gracing his lips. He had the power to undo it, to make it back to the day it had started. To redo what needed to be redone. It would weaken him greatly, yet it would be worth it.
"My dear one, it is good to have you back," He said, quietly.
"I tried to forget, because it eased the pain a little," She sobbed.
"Was it worth it?" He asked.
"No," She sobbed, "I tried to distract myself with things that seemed important, yet weren't."
"It wasn't wise, was it?" He asked.
"No, I've wasted my life, because I fell in love!" She sobbed.
"Love didn't ruin your life, it was the way you took it," Aslan said softly.
She wiped her tears away, "you're right."
"What do you want, Queen Susan the Gentle?" Aslan asked.
"I don't deserve to be Queen, I don't deserve that title," She protested.
"One a King or Queen in Narnia always a king or Queen of Narnia," Aslan countered, "Now what is it that you wish the most?"
She smiled softly, and looked down at the grass, "I wish I could be with Caspian and my siblings," she sighed, "but there's no going back now."
"Would you like to go back?" he asked quietly.
Susan looked up, "What?"
"Would you like to go back, back to the day you left?" He asked softly.
"Yes," She said great fully, "Please."
He closed his eyes for a minute before reopening them; he leaped from the branch and landed before her. He breathed on the tree he had just come from, it twisted into a door like the one she had come through from Narnia back to England so many years ago. "You must change time, you have an hour before the portal closes," he said and nodded his head towards the portal.
"Thank you," she said, she took a deep breath and stepped through, after taking one last look at her life in England.
Her life rewinded before her eyes, starting from the time she talked to Aslan, the funeral, the call about her siblings deaths, the years unfolded… back to the night she had lost her faith in Narnia, back through those awful four months, back to when they had gotten in the train, back to when they had just come from Narnia the second time. Then everything stopped.
She was back to being that 16 year old girl who only seconds before had kissed Caspian. They all exchanged sad glances. They were back in England at the train station, only three years later they would be killed at, well everyone but Susan.
"Were not in Narnia," Susan said confused.
"Of course not silly," Lucy tried.
"We got to get back," Susan continued.
"There's no going back now, our times up." Peter said, placing a hand on Susan's shoulder.
"No, Aslan has given us another chance," She protested.
"We can't just die in England!" Peter snapped.
Edmond and Lucy looked at Peter in horror.
The train whistle blew and the nerdy guy from the newspaper stand called out: "Phyllis, aren't you coming?"
The others went to get their baggage from the bench, but she called out, "No." The train doors slid shut.
Peter looked at Susan in confusion, "what did you do that for?"
"We would get on that train and Edmond would comment on how he left his new torch in Narnia, Lucy would start doodling Aslan on her notebook and Peter's plan to keep the guys away from me would be to sit next to me and glare at anyone that came near." Susan began.
"I was going to comment I'd left my new torch in Narnia," Ed said confused.
"I was thinking of sparing on page on my French notebook for a drawing of Aslan," Lucy continued.
"How did you know about my new strategy?" Peter asked.
"Simple, I've lived here in England till I reach age nineteen, I've forgotten Narnia or at least tried to do so, you've died at this very train stop, father and mother have died only a year previous, I am all alone standing at your graves after your funeral and I-I see Aslan," She sobbed, and stopped to sink into the bench. The other's exchange looks, as she regains her will to speak.
"He asked me what I wanted most and I replied to be with you and Caspian, he asks me if I want to go back, and I said yes." She continued wiping away her tears, "I thought we'd just go back, but I think he knew if I truly wished to go back I would have to work for it. He left me with only nine words: You must change time, you have an hour before the portal closes; and then my horrible life was rewinded and stopped here." She finished.
"It's a clue," Ed said.
"A what?" Peter said snapping out of his trance.
"A clue," Ed repeated.
"How, well, how exactly did we die?" Lucy asked looking at Susan.
"You were on a train, with Doctor Krike, and Eustace. You were traveling with another Lady, boy, and a girl in hopes of reaching Narnia again. The older me thought it was a stupid idea and wished the eight of you would grow up and stop playing silly games. The train collided with another train that was coming into the station. Everything was gone and destructed except the gold Loin statue which was staring at me with sad eyes." Susan said.
"We've got to find that portal, and we only have ten minutes in which to do so otherwise we won't change anything!" Edmond exclaimed.
"That's it!" Lucy said jumping to her feet.
"What?" Peter asked.
"The Loin statue," Lucy exclaimed rushing over to the statue.
"The eyes," Ed said catching on.
"Huh?" Peter said confused.
"Oh move," Susan said rolling her eyes. The three moved, and she walked forward. She stretched out her hand and pressed the eyes softly.
