"If dad were here he wouldn't make us go."
"If dad were here, the war would be over and we wouldn't have to go!"
Edmund had been complaining about leaving home the whole trip to the station. Peter continued arguing back, but was at least using some logic.
"You will listen to your brother, won't you Edmund?"
Thankfully Mrs. Pevensie was able too cut into their argument. After speaking to Edmund she turned to Peter and I.
"Look after the others?"
"I will mum"
Peter gave his mother one last hug before letting go and smiling sadly. She then turned to men and wrapped me in a warm motherly hug.
"Kurie, try not too worry about anything. Things will be alright, you'll see; you've got Peter and the others to stand by your side." I nodded my head and accompanied it with a half halfhearted smile. Mrs. Pevensie pulled away and turned too give Susan and Lucy both hugs before the 5 of us were rushed too board the train. All four Pevensie children hung out a window waving goodbye to their mother.
"Goodbye mum, we'll miss you!"
Peter pulled himself back in and walked over to me before leaning against the compartment wall.
"Kurie, are you alright?"
Nodding my head I quickly wiped tears out of my eyes and looked up at him. Sitting down next to me he wrapped his arms around my shoulders.
"You're a really bad liar."
Leaning my head against his shoulder I took a deep breath before I started shaking, tears dripping down my face once more. Peter rested his chin on the top of my head in attempts too comfort me.
"What am I going too do now? My mum and dad are gone..."
I gripped tightly onto Peter's shirt and refused to let go, even when the others entered.
"Just try not too worry too much right now. Things will work out somehow, you'll see."
The train ride seemed so slow and was quite miserable. Edmund continued to ride and question Peter about myself. Why I couldn't stay with a member of my family and why I had too come along with them. Edmund also continued to remind me that I was not a member of their family and nothing more than an inconvenience.
"Where is she going to go Ed?"
"I don't know, nor do I care. She's nothing but an intruder to me."
Was that all I really was to the Pevensie's; an intruder? But if Peter knew about my worry I would have received a lecture. Nuzzling my head against him I brought his attention back toward me.
"Rest Kurie; try shutting your eyes and sleeping, you're safe."
He kept his arms around me too comfort me the best he could I eventually fell into an uneasy sleep, but it was sleep none the less.
