So he, Susan, and Edmund trailed behind the rest of the family. Each taking turns climbing into the wardrobe.
Emily struggled in her bonds. She was in what was left of the White Witch's dungeon. She had been hit repeatedly because she wouldn't tell were King Peter was. She had no clue who King Peter was. So she sat there holding her tears back. She had always had her father's strength. She had never been hit before. Her father had never physically punished her and she had never been punished by a teacher either. She was seen as a role model in her class. The only real punishment she had ever gotten was when she was five and she broke a lamp. With that she received an hour in the time out chair and extra chores to pay it off.
She felt cold. Sitting on ice wasn't in her comfort zone. She watched as the Blue Wizard and the Black Witch conversed about what to do to her next.
"We could hang her by her feet over the balcony. But we certainly can't bribe her. Look what happened to our sister when she bribed a child." the Witch was saying.
"How about we let her go without food for three days. She'll talk by then." The Wizard said. He was stroking his long black beard. He had blue robes layered over him. And a staff in the shape of a triton. The witch looked similar. She had long black dress on and her brunette hair was tied up into bun with a veil draped over her face. She would be considered intimidating. Emily considered her frightening. But either way she was cruel and mean
.
Peter was the first to enter the land. He stood there and waited for the rest to follow. Then he passed the letter onto each of them. Lucy and Susan stood shocked. Edmund's face was virtually expressionless.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Lucy ask.
"Let's go find Aslan." Susan added in. "He can help."
Peter nodded. "Ed, do you still have that whistle? For the horses?"
"I think so." he said digging through his pockets. Andrew grinned despite himself and held it up.
"Why you little-" Edmund began.
"I only learned from the best." he replied with a cockish grin.
Edmund eased up. Andrew handed it over. Edmund blew into it hard. It made no noise to the human ears, but they sound of hoof beats in the distance came. Phillip was coming in first. Followed by the white Unicorn. The n a black and brown horse.
"Edmund. So good to see you again." Phillip said.
"Good to see you too" Edmund said stroking Phillips neck.
"Care to tell me why the horse is talking." Andrew said. Lucy smiled, "Welcome to Narnia. Prince Andrew" "Would you do me the honor of riding with me" Lucy countinued. Andrew nodded and climbed on behind his aunt. "Phillip, is Aslan here?" Peter asked,
"Yes, he got back this morning." he replied.
"Ok, then take us to him" Peter said.
"Of course King Peter. And welcome back." he said taking off in a gallop.
The rest of the horses were soon to follow. They heard a loud roar in the distance.
"Aslan!" Lucy said squealing with excitement.
"Calm down LuLu." Peter said.He used his old nickname for her. He didn't see Lucy often. She was world traveler and photographer. She had written 5 letters from 5 different countries.
Lucy smiled she hadn't been called that in a long time. She felt 7 again though.
