Chapter 3
Return
The ground was stained with blood; forests were burning and the trees were screaming. William looked at the battle around him and saw the Narnians beaten and broken, fighting their own countrymen. He heard a laugh and looked to see her, a tall woman with white skin and cold eyes, carrying a sword and a wand.
"Hello High Protector" Jadis cackled
William then saw his pregnant wife Queen Swanwhite, he watched helplessly as Jadis stuck her sword straight in Swanwhite's stomach.
William woke up screaming and covered in sweat, William looked around to see that the forest he was sleeping in was now dark; he laid back and gave a long sigh
"Another Nightmare" he muttered to himself.
Suddenly William heard shouts and horses galloping near him, he quickly sprang up from the ground, attached his sword to his belt, climbed on his horse and rode towards the shouts.
When he got to the scene he saw Caspian laying on the ground with two dwarves staring at him. Then there were shouts, William looked to see Telmarine soldiers on horseback
"Take care of him" he heard one of the dwarves say as he turned to fight off the Telmarines.
William saw Caspian blow a horn before getting knocked unconscious by the other dwarf. William smiled to himself, the Pevensie's had been called.
Susan was standing in a busy London street reading a magazine from a news stand when a nervous boy wearing a school uniform, stood beside her. Susan looked at him quickly before returning to her magazine.
"You go to St. Finbars" the boy said
"That's right" Susan replied
"I go to Hendon House across the road; I've seen you sitting by yourself" the boy said smiling.
"Yes, well I prefer to be left alone" Susan said turning away from him.
"Me too" the boy said quickly
Susan rolled her eyes, why couldn't this boy just take the hint. Susan hated when boys like this one came up to her trying to chat her up, most of them were nice and she would gladly be their friend but that's how far she was willing to go.
"What's you're name"? The boy asked
"Phyllis" Susan said after giving a little sigh.
Just then a little voice shouted out "Susan", Susan looked to see her Sister Lucy running towards her. She looked at the boy hoping he didn't hear her real name.
"You better come quickly" Lucy said
Susan quickly put down her magazine, picked up her suitcase and ran across the road with Lucy, then into the underground. They made their way through the underground until they got to a group of school kids shouting "Fight, Fight, Fight". Susan and Lucy pushed their way through the crowd until they could see the commotion in the middle of the surrounding crowd.
Susan gave a disappointed look when she saw her older brother Peter fighting with a group of boys. Peter had been fighting a lot since returning from Narnia, he was a king trapped in a teenager's body and he was struggling to find his place in this non magic world.
Suddenly another boy pushed passed Susan, who she recognised as her other brother.
"Edmund"! Lucy Yelled
Edmund jumped on one the boys causing both of them to hit the floor. While Edmund and the boy wrestled on the floor, Peter was dragged over to the edge of the platform, held down and kicked in the stomach hard. Edmund jumped on the boy that kicked Peter taking him down to the floor. Suddenly a whistle blew and two soldiers ran over and dragged a boy off Peter.
"Act you're age" the soldier spat giving Peter a shove.
Later all four siblings were sitting on the platform waiting for their train to arrive.
"Your welcome" Edmund said
"I had it sorted" Peter replied getting up and walking to the edge of the platform
"What was it this time" Susan asked in a bored tone
"He bumped me" Peter said
"So you hit him"? Lucy asked shocked
"After he bumped me they tried to make me apologise that's when I hit him" Peter explained
"Really is it that hard to just walk away" Susan said
"I shouldn't have too, I mean don't you get tired of being treated like a kid" Peter replied
"Erm we are kids" Laughed Edmund
"Well I wasn't always" Peter snapped
The other three Pevensie's shared looks of understanding, each one of them had struggled from going from kings and queens of a country back to school children again.
"It's been a year, How long does he expect us to wait" Peter said sitting down again.
"I think it's time to expect we live here now, there's no use pretending any different" Susan said logically
Susan looked around to see the same boy from the newspaper stand walking towards them.
"Quick pretend you're talking to me" Susan said to the other three
"We are talking to you" Edmund replied in a bored voice
Susan gave Edmund an annoyed look before Lucy jumped from her seat and shouted "OW"!
"Quiet Lu" Whispered Susan looking around embarrassed
"Something pinched me "Lucy moaned
"Hey stop pulling" Peter yelled at Edmund
"I'm not touching you" Edmund yelled back
"Will all of you" Then Susan and Edmund both felt what the others felt as they both jumped up from their seats
"What is that"? Susan asked
"It feels like magic" Lucy said excitedly
"Quick everyone hold hands" Susan ordered
The siblings all held each others hands; there was a little protest from Edmund about holding Peter's hand. Suddenly the pulling got harder and the station started to disappear revealing a cave and a beach.
William was on a hill over looking the beach waiting, he gave a little glance down at the beach like he had been doing for hours. This time however he looked to see four people walk out of a cave, he tried to have a detailed look but was too far away then he saw her Susan the person who gave him peace during a time of war had just walked back into his life.
