The Lion The Wizard and The Wardrobe
Chapter 5
After Will had finished cleaning Lucy's injuries he sat down next to the bed and Lucy slowly sat up against the pillows.
Will had given her a new pair of pants and a shirt because her were torn beyond repair.
"Thank you for the clothes."
Will smiled.
"No problem."
Lucy smiled at him.
"So how did you come to know Aslan?" She asked.
Will's smiled faltered slightly.
Lucy noticed this and frowned.
"Oh, sorry, I was just curious."
Will shook his head with a sigh.
"Long story short my mother and I were arrested for believing in Aslan, but I got away and ran into Aslan. He then brought me to a village where I was raised by an older couple till I was able to take care of myself."
"What about your father?" she asked.
Will shook his head.
"He died when I an enfant."
They sat in silence before Will continued.
"It's been five years since he took her and I don't know if she is alive or not."
Lucy placed a comforting hand on Will's shoulder.
"I know how that feels, right now, in our world, there is a war going on and all us children were sent into the country where we would be safe from the bombs that started falling in London. Me, Peter, Susan and Edmund don't know if we'll ever see our parents again either, if the war keeps going on as it is. But it hasn't been as long for us as it has been for you. It must be very hard for you."
Will slowly nodded with a sad smile.
"Yes, it is hard but now that you and your brothers and sister have returned I think there might still be hope that my mother is still alive."
Tumnus gasped when he saw who was at the door and then, remembering his manners, bowed to the Great Lion.
"Aslan! What a pleasant surprise!"
Aslan nodded and returned the bow.
"There are all here?" he asked.
Tumnus was shocked for a moment, at the Lion's question but soon regained his composure and shook his head sadly.
"All but one, Sire. The Black Wizard has Queen Lucy as his captive."
Aslan smiled.
"But you are mistaken honorable fawn, she is in safe hands, but at the moment, bring up their majesties, we have much to discuss!"
Tumnus nodded and with in moments they were all seated in Tumnus' living room.
They all listened intently to Aslan as he began to explain what had happened over the last two weeks.
After Aslan had finished, everyone in the room smiled and let out a sigh of relief.
"So she's alright?" asked Peter, who had finally stopped pacing and sat down.
Aslan nodded.
"She is in the care of a Healer, William, he will make sure no harm will come to her till we reach his home tomorrow afternoon.
Edmund frowned.
"Can we not leave tonight?" he asked.
Aslan shook his head.
"No son of Adam, we shall leave tomorrow after breakfast. Everyone nodded and soon they all went to bed.
While Peter, Susan, Edmund and Tumnus were talking with Aslan, Lucy and Will had had dinner and were talking of the adventures Lucy and her sister and brothers had had in Narnia.
Lucy soon found out that Will was a great person to talk to and was a great listener as well.
He also asked about her life back in England.
Lucy told him of her parents and Professor Kirke and his very large house.
She also told him the story of how she had first found her way into Narnia through the wardrobe (she had been knocked out when they had been taken through the wardrobe with the Black Dwarfs and didn't know she had been taken through the wardrobe again).
They talked well into the night and it was close to dawn before they finally went to bed.
Will had just left the room and Lucy had not settled down for more than a minutes before she fell asleep.
Her last thoughts were that she was glad to have survived the torture of Black.
