Chapter 2
Jessica woke up the next day feeling a bit groggy but better then the last time she tried to sleep. She looked out the window to see it was raining cats and dogs outside. Jessica looked over to her clock and noticed that it was 7:00am and decided to get up and look around. She slipped out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up and get dressed, when Jessica came out she was dressed in a tan cashmere sweater and a dark pale blue knee length skirt.
After Jessica put in a dark brown head band in her hair there was a knock at the door. When Jessica opened the door she saw Lucy there smiling "good morning Jessica" Lucy greeted cheerfully. "Good morning Lucy" Jessica replied with the same cheerful voice.
When Jessica walked down to the living room with Lucy she noticed that Susan was sitting in an armchair reading a book. Peter was sitting on the couch looking board while answering a few questions Susan said from the book. Edmund was sitting on a chair looking out the window with a board expression on his face.
When Susan saw Jessica come in the room she smiled and motioned for her to come over to her.
"Morning Jessica, how did you sleep" She said while moving over a bit so Jessica could sit down.
"Good, better then the night before" Jessica said while sitting and peering at the book that appeared to be a dictionary.
"Jessica if you don't mind me asking, are any of your family in the war now" Edmund questioned while getting a look from Peter meaning shut up.
Jessica gave a happy yet sad smile, and then remembered her father leaving for a important mission before the war started and then him leaving for the war.
"Yes, my father is in the war now" Jessica said in a small sad voice while looking at Edmund. She really didn't want to bring up the subject, but they didn't know of her father in the war.
"Our Father is in the war to" Lucy said while sitting on the windows ledge and looking out the window.
Jessica then had a small tingle of happiness flicker and knew they were like her, maybe they were going through the same thing as her, them leaving there mother behind and coming here.
After about an hour things started to get boring for the five of them sins it was still raining outside. Jessica was drawing a picture of a field of wild flowers, while Susan read words to Peter to figure out there origin. Edmund looked like he was falling asleep on the chesterfield, while Lucy was looking out the window with a sad expression.
"Gas-tro-vas-cu-lar, come on Peter Gastrovascular" Susan said while looking at the dictionary to see if Peter would get it right.
"Is it Latin" Peter said while having a bored tone laced with sarcasm laced in it. In Jessica's opinion everyone looked bored except her at the moment.
"Yes" came Susan's reply while searching through the book for another one to guess.
At this Edmund was fed up with the dictionary guessing game and made a smart comment that Jessica couldn't hear.
Susan slammed the book shut and that made Jessica jump out of surprise at the noise (you know when your so into something and then someone makes a loud noise). Lucy had a look of idea on her face and got up from the ledge and walked over to Peter.
"We could play hide-and-seek" she suggested while giving a quick glace at Jessica for help.
"But we're already having so much fun" Peter said sarcastically and looking at Lucy.
"Please...pretty please" Lucy pleaded and gave Peter the puppy eyes.
"I'll play Lucy" Jessica said and put her drawing book down while smiling.
"1..2...3..." Peter counted while giving a look to Lucy meaning to go and hide which she did quickly.
Jessica ran to go find someplace to hide, while she was searching she saw a suit of armor and hid beside it. When she looked across from her she found Lucy spotting a curtain and running up to it. She soon saw Edmund run put and push Lucy away claiming he found it first. Lucy soon ran off and into a room down the hall from them.
After about a few seconds heard Lucy yelling "I'm back, I'm all right", then Jessica saw Lucy run into to the place Edmund was hiding.
"Shh He's coming" Edmund says in a whispery tone. Jessica didn't care if she got caught and came out from behind the statue to see what Lucy meant by her being back. Just as she came out Peter came around the corner and herd what they said. Then Edmund sighed and came out giving a look to Jessica that meant this better be good
"You know, I'm not sure if you three have quite gotten the idea of this game" Peter said in a questionable voice while looking at the three of them.
"But weren't you wondering were I was" Lucy said in a confused way while looking at them.
"That's the point, that's why he was seeking you" Edmund said in a know it all way. From what Jessica could see Edmund looked mad at Lucy.
Then Susan came out from her hiding place and came up to them and looked confused.
"Dose this mean I win" She asked while looking at every one to see what they were talking about.
"I don't think Lucy wants to play anymore" Peter said while looking at Susan then at Lucy.
"I've been gone for hours" Lucy said while looking like she was trying to figure things out.
"Well let's go take a look then" Jessica piped up while trying to not sound impolite in a way. Jessica was also curious at the time at how Lucy said she was gone for hours and started to walk.
Susan and Edmund checked the wardrobe over and over to see if Lucy was correct in saying she had left. Then Susan came out of the wardrobe from looking through the fur coats.
"The only wood in here is in the back of the wardrobe" Susan said while walking over to Lucy.
"One game at a time, Lu we don't all have your imagination" Peter said while looking at Lucy.
"But I wasn't imagining" Lucy said while sounding a little desperate at them believing her. Then Lucy looked at Jessica for some help, and Jessica seen this and had a thought saying Lucy was right about this.
"You believe me, don't you Jess" Lucy said in a pleading voice while using her nickname as well.
Jessica thought for a moment and gave a small nod so the others didn't see but Lucy did and made a little smile.
"That's enough" came the voice of Susan that made Jessica looked up from Lucy. Now Lucy looked like she was going to cry and it made Jessica feel very bad knowing she couldn't change there mind's.
"I wouldn't lie about this" Lucy said while on the verge of crying now while looking at Susan.
"Well, I believe you" Edmund said while walking to her while having a smirk in it.
"You do" Lucy said with a little bit of hope in her voice and looking at Edmund.
"Of coarse, Didn't I tell you about the football field I found in the bathroom cupboard" he said with a voice of mockery.
Lucy looked like she was crushed and ran to Jessica crying and not looking back at Edmund. Jessica saw this and looked at Edmund before and rolled her eyes and comforted Lucy . At this Peter looked mad and looked at Edmund for making Lucy upset.
"Oh, will you just stop it, you always have to make things worse" Peter said when he turned to his brother.
"It was just a joke" Edmund said in defense trying to get his way out of this.
"When are you going to learn to grow up" Peter said in bored tone while trying to end this conversation.
At this Edmund got mad and yelled "Shut up, you think your dad, but your not" and then stormed out to the room.
"Well, that was nicely handled" Susan said in an upset voice while also walking out the room to.
Peter then looked discouraged and looked back at Lucy who was in Jessica's arms.
"But I was really there" Lucy said in one last attempt to get someone to believe her words.
"Susan's right Lucy, that's enough" was Peters last words before he to walked out the door.
Lucy looked crest fallen and Jessica went up to her and gave her a hanky, Jessica didn't like seeing people sad. But what made her believe Lucy was right was that she did feel cold when she approached Lucy, so it made sense to her.
"Cheer up Lucy, I still believe you" Jessica said while trying to cheer the little girl up.
Lucy looked at Jessica and smiled a little while giving her a little hug in saying those words.
"Thanks for believing me Jess" Lucy said while looking up at her then walking over to the wardrobe.
"Come on Lucy, you want to look at my drawing again" Jessica said while Lucy closed the wardrobe. She nodded and followed Jessica through the door.
Later that night Lucy kept on thinking about Narnia, and decided to go back through the wardrobe to see Mr. Tumnus again. She picked up a pair of boots from under her bed and took the candle of her bed side table and walked to the wardrobe room. On Lucy's way there she didn't notice Edmund was watching her turn around a corner with a candle. Edmund then decided to follow her to see where she was going at a time like this. Lucy approached the wardrobe slowly and went to open it but had a feeling it wouldn't be there. But she opened the door slowly and peered inside and a big gust of cool air flowed through the wardrobe and blew the candle out. Lucy smiled and stepped inside and walked until she was in Narnia and went to Mr.Tumnus's house. But She didn't know she was followed by Edmund and he as well went into the wardrobe (ok I don't like the part when Edmund meets the White Witch and plus it's boring to listen to so I'm going to leave it at the part when the White Witch tells Edmund where to meet her).
"Beyond these woods, you see those two little hills" she said and pointed to two mountains, and Edmund nodded. "My house is right between them, you'd love it there Edmund, it has whole rooms simply stuffed with Turkish Delight" She continued.
"Couldn't I have some more now" Edmund asked while trying to sound innocent as well.
"NO" she snapped but then it turned into a smile "don't want to ruin you appetite" she said in a sweet voice.
"Besides, you and I are going to be seeing each other again very soon, aren't we" She continued.
"I hope so, your majesty" Edmund replied while getting out of the slay and beside it.
"Until then dear one, I'm gonna to miss you" she said while they drove of into the snow.
After a few minutes Lucy saw Edmund and ran up to him while giving him a hug and smiled.
"Oh, Edmund you got in to isn't it wonderful" Lucy said in a happy voice to him.
"Where've you been" Edmund asked Lucy while looking around to see if someone was watching.
"With Mr. Tumnus, he's fine, the White Witch hasn't found out anything about him helping me" Lucy said while going on.
"The White Witch" Edmund repeated what Lucy said to make it sound like he hadn't spoken to the witch.
"She calls herself the queen of Narnia but she really isn't, are you all right you look awful" Lucy said while noticing that Edmund was pale.
"Well what do you expect, I mean it's freezing, how do we get out of here" Edmund said and bundled up his house coat.
Lucy sighed and grabbed Edmund's hand "come on this way" she said as she lead him to the wardrobe.
When the two got back Lucy went into Jessica's room and jumped on her bed trying to wake her up.
"What's going on Lucy, what is it, what's wrong" Jessica said in a groggy voice and getting up a bit.
"I was in Narnia it's really there" Lucy said while jumping off the bed and running into the boys room.
Jessica got out of bed and put a purple robe on and walked down the hall to see what Lucy was doing and saw her waking up Peter.
"Peter, Peter wake up it's there its really there" She said while shaking him till he was awake.
"Lucy, what are you talking about" Peter said in a half asleep voice while rolling over. Once he saw Jessica standing there as well he woke up a little more.
"Narnia, its all in the wardrobe like I told you" Lucy said excitedly while sitting on the bed.
Then Susan came in and herd Lucy say something about Narnia as well she noticed Jessica standing looking like she was going to fall over any time soon. Susan motioned for Jessica to sit down on the bed so she wouldn't fall over then went over to Lucy.
"Oh Lucy you've been dreaming" she said while trying to calm Lucy down a bit.
"But I haven't, I've seen Mr. Tumnus again and this time Edmund went to" Lucy said while startling Edmund.
"You saw the faun" Peter asked catching Edmund's attention in doing so, but Edmund shook his head.
"Well he didn't actually go there with me" She started then turned to him "what were you doing Edmund".
"I-I was just playing along, I'm sorry Peter, I shouldn't have encouraged her, you what little children are like these days, they just don't know when to stop pretending" Edmund said smugly to her.
Lucy looked like she was going to cry and ran out of the room crying followed by Peter and Susan. Jessica watched and worried about Lucy by deciding to stay out of this sins it was family related. She honestly didn't want to get herself involved in this, and decided to go back to bed and talk about it in the morning. So she walked out the door and to her room where she swore she was going to fall over. She climbed into bed and wondered if believing Lucy was a bad idea, sins the siblings were arguing now. Jessica then thought of her own family now and took out the locket and cried. She had know way of knowing if her own family was ok and if her father was coming back. But she wiped the tears away knowing she must not lose hope because her father promised her that he would come back, and that they would be a happy family again. But she didn't think on it long for she turned off her light and went to bed knowing not to lose hope.
End Chapter
Talk about long chapter there folks, so what did you think of my chapter so far. Anyway so I have gotten a few tips in the review's that weren't that harsh. So here is the chapter But I still haven't gotten enough votes yet for me to decide. But here are the votes so far for you to see and some aren't just from review some are from email to.
Sword and Shield: 1(its different from Peters)
Sword and a White tiger cub that can change into a full adult when commanded: 2 (this was my first idea by the way)
Double Swords with a ring: 3 (the ring hold's a special part in the story)
Magic sword that can go on fire: 6 (it will also have a shield and sheath)
Bow and arrows with a short sword: 1 (again its different from Susan's)
(New) Dagger with a invisibility cloak: 4 (this holds a important part in the book as well)
And you can vote of which one you favorer most not just what other's have voted for by the way. Keep reviewing and I will be done with the story faster that way and keep the reviews minimally harsh and not to harsh.
