The Cousins
Disclaimer: Not saying it again!
Chapter 8: All is set to Right
…Lecia, her cousins, and the kings and Lucy! "Told him!" Adrian muttered.
"Just what do you think you're doing to my cousin?" Lecia challenged. The man started sputtering as she came closer, her bow reloaded. "Now, you have two choices: let him and my other friend go, or wait long enough for me to lose my temper and shoot you. Oh, there's my other friend! Hi, Adrian. Are you all right?"
"I am, Lece. Jack, not so much, as you can tell."
"Yes, yes I can. Now, have you decided which option you would take?" The man pulled a dagger out and cut Jack's bindings. Adrian quickly moved to catch him. "Hey, buddy, you're all right now."
Lecia grinned. "That was a smart move." She helped Adrian and Jack to get back to the others, where Lucy gave the latter cordial. He gasped. "What happened?"
Lecia gave a sigh. "Cordial, and you scared me half to death! Don't ever do that again!" she said, squeezing him tightly.
"Lece, can't breathe! Are you all right?" he asked, trying to pry her off him, without success.
"You are just-. Yes, I am, and there is someone here you haven't met. Lu, this is my cousin Jack, and Jack, this is Lucy, Peter and Edmund's little sister."
"Hi." Lucy said.
"Hi." Jack said. He suddenly noticed the two girls that he already knew. "Okay, are they who I think they are?"
"Yes; you don't need me to introduce you to them; you've known them their whole lives." Lecia said sarcastically.
"Did you have to come?" Joanna said irately.
"Sorry! I didn't mean to come!"
Lecia stepped in between the bickering siblings. "Look, you're both here, and we will need to work together to stay alive in this world, so you two need to be quick to come to an understanding, 'kay?"
"Okay." Joanna grumbled.
"Fine with me." Jack said. "What do you think, sis? Can you tolerate me?"
"I guess." Soon, they left to go back to Narnia, finally. Susan was glad to see her siblings safe.
For three more years, the cousins, Pevensies, Adrian, and Katieanna had adventure after adventure, through which Aslan kept them all safe. But, after three years, Lecia received a message from Him. Tonight, you and your cousins must leave without telling anyone beforehand. But you may leave a note telling them where you have gone.
"Why? Have we done something wrong?"
Not at all. Your time is just up. However, you will return. While you are in your world, you must do three things.
"Anything."
One: you must stay close to Me in your world. Know Me by My other name. Two: Tell no one about Narnia.
"Not even our parents?"
Not even. And three: look for books about Narnia in your world. They exist. You must find them.
"I- we will." They left for their world that night. They managed to keep Narnia a secret, until one day, over a year after they had been the first time, something happened that made them have to tell someone else. But, that's another story…
