Chapter 11: Arrival in Narnia
As Edmund, Amelia and Lucy emerged from the wardrobe Lucy said : "We should tell Peter about it!"
"Lu, don't." Amelia said trying to run after Lucy but her arm was caught by Edmund.
"We haven't been to the country in the wardrobe understand." He said in a threatening tone.
"Edmund what's going on we have been there." Amelia said scared at her friends behavior.
"Yes we have but the others don't have to know that." Edmund said smirking.
"What's happened to you?" Amelia asked in a whisper.
"School happened." Edmund said releasing her arm.
"That witch has cursed you with those sweets." She said.
"No she didn't she made me feel loved and appreciated." Edmund said walking to his room, Amelia scoffed and ran to the room as well catching up with Lucy.
"Peter, Peter, wake up! Peter, wake up! It's there! It's really there!" Lucy yelled as she ran into the room, Amelia following.
"Shhhh. Lucy what are you talking about?" Peter said still drowsy from sleeping.
"Narnia! It's all in the wardrobe like I told you!" Lucy said as Edmund and Susan entered.
"You've just been dreaming, Lucy." Susan said looking up from her robe she was closing.
"But I haven't! I saw Mr. Tumnus again! And this time Edmund and Amelia went too." Lucy yelled making Edmund look up from what ever he was doing and Amelia to cast her eyes down.
"You... You two saw the faun?" Peter asked and Edmund answered with a shake off his head, Amelia stayed silent.
"Well, they didn't actually go there with me. They... What were you two doing?" Lucy asked.
"We.." Edmund started but Amelia interrupted by snapping : "You."
"I was just playing along." Edmund said glaring at Amelia. "I'm sorry, Peter. I shouldn't have encouraged her, but you know what little children are like these days. They just don't when to stop pretending."Edmund continued smirking at Lucy who started crying.
"Am, you know what really happened. Tell them." Lucy said through her tears.
"I... I can't." Amelia said finding out she couldn't tell Peter and Susan or even Lucy about the witch even if she wanted to It must be the spell that witch put on me so I couldn't talk.
Now Lucy started crying full out and ran away, making both Peter and Susan sight at both of the ten year old's. As Peter ran by Edmund he pushed him down on the bed running after Lucy.
"I hope your happy I really couldn't say anything because that 'Queen' of yours put a spell on me." Amelia said looking at Edmund with disgust. "I can't believe that you would do something like that to you family and to me, and I can't believe you are the same boy that peeked through the hedge 5 years ago. And I hope you enjoy your loneliness because I'm not talking to you anymore. Oh and just so you know you second chance has just ended, you little beast." Amelia said running away leaving Edmund alone.
As she caught up with Peter, Susan and Lucy she saw Lucy being led away by Mrs. Macready and Peter and Susan coming back.
When she heard a cough coming from a man Must be the professor. She thought Peter grabbed her sleeve and pulled her with him.
As the entered a room which the professor said was his study the professor took off the lid to a tobacco holder and started talking while filling his pipe.
"You seem to have upset the delicate internal balance of my housekeeper." Professor Kirke said.
"We're very sorry, sir. It won't happen again." Peter said turning to go pulling both of the girls with him.
"It's our sister, sir. Lucy." Susan said pulling her arm away from Peter.
"The weeping girl." The professor said.
"Yes, sir." Susan said. "She's upset."
"Hence the weeping." The professor said.
"It's nothing. We can handle it." Peter said looking at Susan.
"Oh, I can see that." Professor Kirke said giving Amelia a look which made her smile.
"She thinks she's found a magical land. In the upstairs wardrobe." Susan said making the professor look up sharply. As he stood up he said : "What did you say?" leading the 3 children to the couch in the room.
"The wardrobe, upstairs. Lucy thinks she's found a forest inside." Peter said as he sat down pulling Amelia with him.
"She won't stop going on about it." Susan said looking up to the professor.
"What was it like?" the professor said in amazement.
"Like talking to a lunatic." Susan said earning a glare from Amelia.
"No, no, no, not her. The forest." The professor said shaking his head.
"You're not saying you believe her?" Peter said looking strange at the professor.
"You don't?" the professor asked.
"But of course not. I mean, logically, it's impossible." Susan said making Amelia think of what she had said to Lucy that evening, and that Lucy really was right.
"What do they teach in schools these days?" Professor Kirke said leaning back in his chair.
"Edmund said they were only pretending." Peter said looking at Amelia.
"Is that true, girl?" Professor Kirke asked Amelia.
"N... Yes." Amelia wanted to say no but the spell made her say yes Stupid spell.
"And he's usually the more truthful one, is he?" Professor Kirke.
"No I would say Lucy is the more truthful one." Amelia said looking at Peter and Susan.
"No this would be the first time." Peter said.
"If she's not mad and she's not lying, then logically we must assume she's telling the truth." Professor Kirke said lighting his pipe.
"You're saying that we should just believe her?" Peter asked confused.
"She's your sister, isn't she? You're her family. You might just try acting like one." Professor Kirke said looking at the three children in front of him. "Now off to bed." he said as the children stood up.
"Stay." the professor said as he grabbed Amelia's arm.
"You go ahead." Amelia said to Peter and Susan.
"Now girl what's your name?" The professor asked.
"Amelia Pevensie." Amelia said having rehearsed saying Pevensie instead of Anderson.
"I know you're not a sister of them you have totally different features, why did you change your name?" Professor Kirke said.
Knowing that the professor wasn't lying Amelia answered : "Because otherwise I couldn't be evacuated."
"Now what is your relationship with the Pevensies?" the professor asked.
"Edmund was my best friend." Amelia said.
"Was? Did you go to the magical land?" Professor Kirke asked.
"I can't tell you, I mean I want to but I really can't." Amelia said.
"It's alright, remember this, things like this happen for a reason, Amelia. You and Edmund have a special bond, you share each others pain, remember that, now off to bed with you." Professor Kirke said.
A little confused Amelia answered : "Goodnight, sir." hurrying to her room.
Arriving there she saw Lucy sitting up : "Why didn't you tell them what really happened? You've been to Narnia."
"I couldn't, I can't." Amelia said.
"But do you want to?" Lucy asked.
"Of course, I really can't tell what happened. We should sleep now." Amelia said crawling under the covers.
Next Day
"Hey what do think about a game of cricket?" Peter asked seeing that the weather had cleared up after dinner.
"Sure." Amelia said as Lucy shrugged and Susan said : "I'll get the cricket stuff." as Edmund stood up heading out.
After a few games of Amelia bowling and hitting the ball Peter started bowling while Edmund hit the ball and Amelia went to sit with Lucy while Susan caught the ball.
"Peter winds up, poised to take yet another wicket!" Peter yelled as he ran up and threw the ball hitting Edmund's calf as Amelia thought That has got to hurt. As Edmund yelled "AU!" she knew she was right.
"Whoops, wake up Dolly Daydream." Peter said as he caught the ball from Susan.
"Why can't we play hide and seek again?" Edmund asked.
"I thought you said it was a kid's game." Peter yelled walking further. You just want to go to Narnia again. Amelia thought.
"Besides, we could all use the fresh air." Susan said.
"You sound like our mothers!" Amelia yelled from her place next to Lucy who smiled at that comment.
"It's not like there isn't air inside." Edmund said thinking he knew better.
"She said fresh air!" Amelia said smiling when he turned to look at her.
"Are you ready?" Peter said interrupting the conversation juggling the ball from his left hand to his right.
"Are you?" Edmund yelled slamming the racket into the ground twice.
Peter ran up and threw the ball with all his might at which Edmund reacted hitting the ball with his full strength. Amelia saw the ball flying towards the window and then the ball disappearing into the house.
"Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to play towards the house." Amelia said to Lucy who shook her head. One second everyone was looking in shock at the window and the next everyone was running towards the house.
As Lucy and Amelia joined Peter, Susan and Edmund at the armor that was knocked over by the ball Peter said : "Well done, Ed."
"You bowled it!" Edmund said.
"What on earth is going on up there?" they heard Mrs. Macready yell from a few rooms futher.
"The Macready!" Susan yelled.
"Come on!" Peter yelled as he ran out of the room everyone following.
They ran into the hallway, the relaxing-room into another hallway that had a dead-end that Edmund telling the others to go back. Running back into the first hallway into the entering hall trying to open a door which was locked and no matter where they went the Macready sounded right behind them. They went down some steps and up some through yet another hallway running past the curtain where Amelia and Edmund had hidden during hide-and-seek, Peter pulled at the first door failing in opening it at which Edmund ran to the door next to it.
The spare room with the wardrobe! Amelia thought.
Edmund opened it and it sounded like the Macready was right outside the door so Edmund ran to the wardrobe saying : "Come on!"
"You've got to be joking." Susan said also recognizing the wardrobe.
Hearing the footsteps of the Macready again Edmund ran into the wardrobe followed by Amelia who was followed by Susan, Lucy and last Peter.
As Peter saw the door handle moving her shout/whispered: "Get back!"
As everyone tried to go back as far as they could go they all stood on each others toes and pushed each other suddenly Peter and Susan fell back and felt something wet as they both turned around they saw a branch.
As they stood up Susan muttered seeing the forest : "Impossible."
"Don't worry. I'm sure it's just your imagination." Lucy said smirking.
"I don't suppose saying we're sorry would quite cover it." Peter asked.
"No. It wouldn't." Lucy said as she threw a snowball at Peter's head hitting it right on. "But that might!" she yelled Peter laughed and bended down together with Susan grabbing a bit of snow and starting a snowball fight. Peter landed a snowball directly in Lucy's face. Susan threw a snowball directly against Amelia who made a snowball and threw it at Susan.
Susan seeing Edmund just standing there threw a snowball hitting his arm at which he yelled: "Ow!"
"Wimp they aren't that hard." Amelia said.
"Stop it!" Edmund yelled ignoring Amelia's comment.
"You little lair." Peter said looking at Edmund.
"Amelia didn't say that it happened" Edmund snapped.
"Because she couldn't!" Lucy yelled defending Amelia.
"What?" Peter asked turning to Amelia.
"I wanted to tell you what really happened but I couldn't and he threatened me not to tell, I really wanted still want to but something is preventing me to." Amelia said pointing at Edmund and then looking down.
"You didn't believe her, either." Edmund said to Peter seeing that something was about to happen.
"Apologize to Lucy." Peter said low as Lucy gestured to Amelia to come and stand next to her which she did.
"Say you're sorry." Peter almost yelled advancing to Edmund.
"All right! I'm sorry." Edmund said to Lucy afraid that Peter was going to hit him.
"That's all right. Some little children just don't know when to stop pretending." Lucy said smirking making Amelia laugh silently.
"Oh, very funny." Edmund whispered.
"Hilarious." Amelia said.
"Maybe we should go back." Susan said going into what Amelia called 'mother-mode'.
"Shouldn't we at least take a look around?" Edmund asked.
"I think Lucy should decide." Peter said as Amelia squeezed Lucy's hand.
Lucy's face lit up as she said : "I'd like you all to meet Mr. Tumnus!"
"That's a great idea!" Amelia said as Peter hearing the answer of Amelia said : "Well, then Mr. Tumnus it is."
"But we can't go hiking in the snow dressed like this." Susan said.
"No, but I'm sure the professor wouldn't mind us using these." Peter said coming out of the wardrobe with 5 fur coats, handing one to each of them saying : "Anyway, if you think about it logically, we're not even taking them out of the wardrobe." Peter said handing a very obvious woman coat to Edmund who said : "But that's a girl's coat!"
"I know." Peter said making Amelia smile thinking at what Peter insinuated.
