Chapter 4

Sloane

"So, Sloane, where are you from?" Peter asked.

"Earth?" I answered with a weird look on my face over breakfast.

"I know that but where did you live on earth?" he asked.

"I was born in New York in America and I was visiting my best friend who's in London" I replied.

"Wow, what year is it there now?" Lucy asked.

"Would you believe me when I say it's the year 2011?" I asked.

"Really?"

"Yep," I replied. "It was May 5th 2011 when I came here."

"Wow I can't believe it's almost seventy years since we've been back in London" Edmund said.

"I know but that would mean Susan is…" Lucy said, dragging off her sentence and she almost looked like she was going to cry.

"I'm sorry to ask but who's Susan?" I asked.

"She's our other sister" Peter replied.

"I'm sorry" I said.

"Don't be I mean, we don't know if she's still alive but it's been so long since we've last seen her," Lucy said.

"Luce, you have to remember Susan stopped believing in Narnia," Peter said.

Believing in Narnia? I didn't think it was possible. But then again, I didn't know this place existed either. I want to know why she wasn't here or whatever.

"So, Sloane, what was 2011 like?" Edmund asked.

"Well, we have cars of course and then there's all different technology that keeps getting different every year. We have TVs and DVD players…"

"I'm sorry to interrupt but what is a DVD player?" Peter asked.

"It's something that plays movies that are on discs and we have cell phones, IPODS, CDs, and so on and so forth. Oh and we also have computers, laptops and this thing along with it called the internet," I replied.

"Wow, I never knew that everything has changed," Lucy said.

"Yeah but if I'm from my world, then what year were you guys from?" I asked.

"We came from the 1940s," Edmund replied.

"Wow," I said. "Sorry it's just…"

"No worries, really" he said with a small smile.

Now he's trying to flirt with me? Or I'm thinking he is? I don't know. But I'll admit his smile is cute. Oh Sloane, snap out of it!

We continued talking as we ate, trying to get to know them. I wanted to know more as to why I'm here, but I got a bigger problem on my hands and that problem is how I got here. I wish I knew how, but I guess I would find out either way. I reached over to grab another piece of toast when I looked up and saw that Edmund's eyes went wide a bit.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Your arm, where did you get that scar?" he asked, curiously.

"Oh, um that was from an accident awhile back that I had to have surgery on ," I replied.

"What happened?" Peter asked.

"I don't want to talk about it. Not right now, maybe another time," I said.

The topic was soon dropped after I said that. I wasn't ready to tell them. I wasn't sure if I was ready to tell them.

"Lantern from shed," I said to myself as I wrote it down.

I found paper and a quill in my desk and I started a list of things that would come to me so I can figure out why I'm here. It was around the afternoon when I put the list away and decided to venture outside. I left my room and managed to find myself back into the gardens from last night.

The smell of the flowers came to my nose as I took a sniff while I walked. This place looked beautiful in the daytime. I continued my walk in the garden, taking in the scenery.

"Beautiful day isn't it?" a voice said.

I spun around and saw a half man, half deer like person standing next to me. I didn't know how to react since I've never seen one of them before.

"Yeah it is," I replied, with a nervous smile.

"I see that you're the new visitor to Narnia that the castle had been buzzing about," it said.

"Guess news travels fast around here," I mumbled.

"I'm Mr. Tumnus," he said.

"I'm Sloane," I said, reaching out my hand to shake. He took it hesitantly and shook it.

"You never shook hands before?" I asked.

"Oh I have when Queen Lucy first came to Narnia," he replied.

"So I've heard," I said.

"How did you get here to Narnia?" he asked.

"I don't know," I replied.

"I'm sorry?"

"I really don't know how I got here. I woke up here and my memory before getting here is a bit fuzzy," I replied.

"Oh, sorry dear I didn't know," he said.

"It's okay. I mean, how can people not remember things? It does happen but with me it happened at a bad time I guess," I said.

"Maybe one day you will remember what happen," he said.

"Probably," I said, agreeing with him.

"I must go. Queen Lucy is probably wondering where I am," he said.

"Don't worry, you do what you got to do," I said as we parted ways.

I continued to venture out until I reached a water fountain. I walked towards it and I sat on the ledge of it just staring at the water. I looked up and only saw the ocean not far from here so I'm guessing the beach isn't too far from here since Lucy told me that a beach is not far from the castle.

All I could think of was the lantern from the shed and the one from the restaurant. I remember going there to eat with Rick and then I don't know what happened. I need to have a reminder of something so I can remember. I just need a damn sign or something. I don't want to be around here for the rest of my life trying to figure out what happened.

It was settled then. I was determined to find out what happened. Even if it takes me awhile to figure it out but I want to know what happened to me and how I ended up here.

I looked over to my left and saw a rose popping out of the ground. I picked it and stared at it for awhile before I felt a tiny stab on my finger.

"Ah, shit," I hissed, putting my finger between my teeth to stop the bleeding.

I pulled it away and saw that it was bleeding a little bit but not so much. I remember the thorn roses that grew in the backyard back home when I was growing up. I stared at the rose and my finger as I dabbed it in the water as I felt another flashback coming towards me.

A/n: Okay so I'm on time with posting this. Well, where I live I am, so yeah.

I hope you guys enjoyed this! I'll try and update again. This week is being crazy with Turkey Day for me in a few days and the end of the semester is around the corner. My other chapters to my stories are slowly but surely coming along. I hate ten page papers. They're just, ew.

Review and let me know what you think! I hope this is still worth continuing. I promise answers will be revealed soon, just later on in the story.

See you guys around and Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrate it and Happy Black Friday shopping as well. I'm glad I'm not going Black Friday shopping. I don't deal with that type of madness.

Until then,
