"Land ho!" I heard. Lucy, Susan, Jack (or Pirate Boy, a nickname given to him by Susan), Peter, Selene, Susan, Eustace, and I decided to scout the land.

When we got to the island, we saw that it was full of mountains and caves. We walked on, hoping to find one of the lost lords, for over a day now, we were all very tired. Peter was dragging Eustace, Caspian took turns carrying Susan and Lu, and Selene was walking normally. She has to be really strong to do that. I don't like her very much, she seems too aggressive. Devon was complaining loudly to Caspian, who looked like he was going to faint, but held on for the girls' sake. Then we noticed a cave different from the rest.

"Come on, let's go inside."

Inside, it looked like nothing special was going on, so we all decided to rest. Then, Devon leaned back against a huge rock and disappeared completely. We all quickly followed, against me and Susan's pleads to figure out a plan first. I think they should try to remember that it was she that warned us not to go back to the wardrobe, but whatever.

When I crossed the rock, I didn't feel anything at all, like I hadn't just walked through solid rock. What we saw at the other side confused us all.

"Where are we?" I asked.

"We are certainly not in Narnia." Peter answered.

"Is this England?" Caspian asked.

"No, England looks very different." Susan said. Indeed, there were tall structures that reached the sky and they were made of glass and sometimes polished stone. The roads, if that's what they are, were full of strange-looking cars that were even bigger than the ones in England. The streets were full of people, dressed very strangely. I looked down and saw that we were still dressed how we were before we crossed.

"If you don't mind my asking, sir, where are we?" I asked a passer-by. He just looked at me like I was a lunatic and said:

"You're in New York, of course." I didn't understand what he said for he had an incredibly strange accent.

"Come again?" Peter tried. The man just walked away muttering something about stupid kids and their pranks. Susan was the first to analyse the situation.

"We need to fit in and then try to get out of here. Something bad might happen if someone figures out where we come from." She said. "Follow me." She led us to a building that looked like a shop. It was full of clothes like the ones the people were wearing. We all tried our best to pick out an outfit and went into a "changing room". It took us a while to look decent, but when we finally did it, we figured out the next problem.

"How are we going to pay for all of these?" I asked.

"Leave that to me." Devon said and she walked over to where the cashier was and, after five minutes, came back to us.

"Done." She said, and we headed out of the store. I didn't fail to notice a strange man looking at us through the top of his newspaper.

We had been walking for a day now, and we were tired and hungry so we decided to stop and eat. We found a cheap-looking restaurant that would be perfect. Devon went to order lunch for us at Caspian's request and we all sat down, trying to figure this all out. I tried to listen to the conversation but I was too busy thinking about the strange man before that had somehow reappeared here, this time, with some friends. Maybe he followed us but, what did he want? I decided not to out much thought into it because it could be a different man, but it still intrigued me a little. Susan pulled me out of my thoughts:

"We should get some information on the city."

"I agree." Peter said. "We should go to the library." It seemed like a good idea to everyone so we headed out. We walked for a while; the city was huge. I couldn't help but pay attention to the buildings as we walked along: there was an extremely tall one that had a big spike on the top, there was a smaller building made entirely of glass that had flags of many countries across its yard, and a really big, Greek-looking building (I'm guessing it's a museum). When we finally found the library, I wasn't surprised to see it was very big.

We got inside. It had a few people, but not nearly as many as there should be in such an interesting place. I've always been a fan of libraries, along with Susan, who was now marvelling at the amount books.

Pirate Boy and I went to ask the librarian for assistance.

"Excuse me ma'am, could you please tell us where we could find a book about this interesting city?" I asked. She looked up at me like I was crazy, much like that other man before. I suppose people here are not as polite.

"Leave me alone! Can't you see I'm reading?" She said. So rude.

"My apologies." I managed, though my temper was rising as I walked away.

We spent the rest of the evening trying to find a book that could tell us a bit about where we were.

"I found one, I found one!" Lucy yelled, a few hours later. "Come, let's show it to everyone." She said, grabbing my hand. We started to look for the rest of the group. A few minutes later, everyone was gathered around. Lucy explained to us all about the city, which, we found out was the same city Su and Peter had been studying in for over a year now, New York. Peter figured out that, either the portal has taken us to the future, or time in Narnia has passed a lot slower than in the real world. Lucy was just explaining to us about a thing called the "United Nations", when Su asked:

"Has anyone seen Selene?" I thought about it, and the answer was no, I was so used to not having her in the group that I didn't notice she was gone.

"Oh, you guys didn't notice she was missing?" Devon asked, batting her eyelashes innocently. We ran around the Library, hoping to find her. Finally, I saw her, struggling, her hands held behind her back.

I recognized the faces of her aggressors; they were being led by the same man that had been following us all day. Now that I could see their faces, and they were changed back into their original clothes, my brain clicked and I knew exactly why they seemed familiar. I was walking with one right now. Telemarines.

Caspian stepped in front of Susan protectively, but she shot him a look that said: I don't need protection. And he looked back at her like: Oops, sorry forgot about that. Lucy looked absolutely terrified, but I could tell she was trying not to let on. Pirate boy consistently looked over at her, probably to make sure she was alright. Eustace jumped into Devon's arms, who screamed and threw him on the ground. I was trying hard to make a strategy. Three to eight, the odds were in our favour, but then, we left all our weapons in the cave, and they were all armed. I looked at Peter, hoping to see in his expression if he had a plan or not, but what I saw surprised me.

Defenceless and outnumbered, Peter charged.

The Telemarines quickly caught on and charged at him. I simply couldn't believe how utterly stupid my brother was being, but I couldn't do anything about it now. We took what we could and used it against them, like we did in Narrowheaven. The fight went on for a long while, until all three Telemarines lay unconscious. Susan had untied Selene, who joined the fight, and when Selene fights, she always wins.

Suddenly, there was a blinding light, coming from the Telemarines. It filled me with warmth and security, and I instantly knew the source: Aslan.
