"In time, you will feel better." Aslan had told Susan. And he was right.
In a few days time, the Pevensie children were able to see their father, who had been out on another business trip. But he wasn't just visiting. He was here to stay.
Now, Susan was out of her room a lot more often. She was spending a lot of time her with family again. She would go to the park with Lucy, beat Edmund at his own game, which is chess, and she would express her feelings to Peter. She would cook meals and go shopping with her mother and go hunting with her father.
She got interested in hunting when her father got a permit to. One day, she asked her father if she could join him and he gladly accepted. Her father let her use the gun, but the decided he should let her use something else. So, he got her a bow and arrow. She was so excited when she got it. Susan was glad to feel the smoothness of the bow and the sharp tip of an arrow. Even though it wasn't hers, she was glad to hold one again.
Her father often wondered why it was Susan who asked to join him. He figured that either Peter or Edmund would have asked, but they didn't seem to have an interest. But, he was glad to share a bond with one of his daughters.
The rest of the Pevensie children didn't know that Susan ever had a bow and arrow in England. All they knew was that Susan had a sudden interest in hunting. They just assumed that she would just watch their father catch the prey.
One day, Mr. Pevensie and Susan were out in the woods hunting. There hadn't been much prey lately, but they tried every chance they got. When Susan was hunting, she felt loads better. She felt like there was nothing to worry about anymore. She felt like she was back home in Narnia. She felt free.
They were quietly moving along the forest, watching their surroundings. But only she saw movement, just a few feet away.
"Dad, stop moving." Susan whispered. He looked at her questioningly, but stopped.
Susan notched an arrow into her bow and inhaled. As she inhaled, she drew the string back. She cleared her mind, only concentrating on the target. And when she exhaled, she let the arrow fly.
THWANG!
The arrow had hit the target, which turned out to be a rabbit, perfectly. Susan smiled and ran towards it. Her father followed, surprised at Susan's talent. Susan took the arrow out of the rabbit and wiped the tip clean. She put it back in her quiver as her father picked up the prey.
"Good job, Susan. Where did you learn to do that?" Mr. Pevensie asked.
"If I told you, you wouldn't believe me." she half-joked. It was true. If she told him, he wouldn't believe her. He smiled and they headed back hom.
"Look what we caught. " their father said as they entered the house, Susan in the back.
"A rabbit!" Edmund exclaimed.
"WHAT! A poor innocent rabbit lost its life!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Dad, did you get it?" Peter asked.
"No, Susan did." their father said. Then Peter, Edmund, and Lucy looked at her.
"How?" Edmund asked. Then they all noticed the quiver strap and the bow behind her back.
"When did you "the Gentle" start hunting?" Edmund asked, rather harshly.
"Ed-" Peter said but then got cut off.
"What is so wrong with Susan using a bow and arrow?" their mother asked, cutting Peter off. The children were silent when Mr. Pevensie went to kiss Helen.
"May I speak with you, privately?" Susan asked her siblings. They nodded and went up to her room.
As she closed the door to her room, she quietly said, "I know what you're thinking."
"What do you mean?" Lucy asked.
"I'm talking about Narnia. I saw the looks on your faces when you saw my bow."
"Susan, are you-" started Peter.
"I'm fine!" Susan cut him off this time. "Being out there, I felt like I was in Narnia. I felt calm, and relaxed." There was an awkward silence.
"You do feel better now, right?" Lucy asked. Susan slightly smiled, and nodded. She felt better than she had in a long time.
"I wish there was a way we can go back." Edmund said.
"We do too, Ed. We do too." his siblings said.
