It had been a peaceful year and a half since the White Witch had been defeated. The Pevensie children had been ruling the land of Narnia very well with Peter as high king.
Peter was riding his horse in the meadows of Narnia clearing his head after breakfast. The cool breeze of spring time cut against his face as the trees rustled and flowers were blooming. Peter listened as the grass crunched beneath his horse's feet. Then he heard a different sound a sound he hadn't heard in a whole year, the sound of snow being stepped on. Peter's care free look was wiped off of his face and it was replaced with a look of worry. Peter looked down and saw snow scattered on the ground. There was a little patch of it about 3 feet long. It was not winter yet, it wouldn't be for another half a year. The only other time when there had been snow in Narnia when it was out of season was when the White Witch reigned. Peter's thoughts of confusion and panic was interrupted by a shrill scream coming from the woods. The scream was a girl's and sounded like something was very wrong. Peter took the sword out of it's scabbard which was on his horses saddle just in case. Sounds of footsteps and muffled screaming were coming from the woods. Peter put his horse in a gallop and charged into the woods. He didn't see anything at first, but in the distance there was a girl who looked a little bit older than Peter dressed in a white gown. The girl had an evil look in her face and looked right into Peter's eyes with her icy gray chilling eyes. She was dragging another girl who was kicking and trying to break free with a gag tightly on preventing her from screaming. Her ocean blue eyes lit up when she saw Peter. Peter jumped off his horse and ran as fast as he could toward the girl. This seemed to be some sort of motivation for the girl and she kicked and threw her arms around and her muffled screams got louder.
" Let her go!" Peter yelled as he got closer. The girl in the white dress smiled an evil chilling smile that sent shivers down Peter's spine, (not the good kind of shivers) and then touched a wand to her skin and disappeared. Peter knew immediately that the girl who kidnaped the other one had to be a witch. He started assuming the worst and headed back to the castle, planning how to take action.
Peter, Lucy, Susan, and Edmund were all sitting at a big round table with one of their advisors, Vincent, a centaur, back at Cair Paravel. They were all sitting in the strategy room. The walls were stone and the south wall had a mural of a Narnian battle on it, to give inspiration to the king while planning what to do in times of potential war.
" You said she just disappeared, Peter?" Vincent asked.
" Yes." Peter nodded.
" Well, she's a witch definitely." Vincent concluded.
" Do you think she could be related to The White Witch?" Edmund asked.
" Yes I do, King Edmund. But, that would be the worst conclusion." Vincent sighed.
" Well, we have to think positive. We don't know anything for sure yet." Susan said trying to lift everyone's spirits.
" Susan's right, we need to calm down." Lucy said forcing a smile. But, each of the children feared that their kingdom was in danger.
" What about the girl?" Peter asked worriedly.
" Beg my pardon?" Vincent asked, arching one eyebrow.
" The girl who the witch was obviously kidnaping. The girl was tied up and she was trying to break free. She didn't want to go voluntary." Peter said with a little bit of frustration in his voice.
" Well, we could send out a search party if you wish Peter, but I do not know how successful it will be." Vincent said trying to get Peter's hopes up.
" He's right Peter, the witch could be anywhere." Edmund shrugged.
" We can still try! If we find the girl, we find the witch, right?" Peter suggested,"We can search the caves, the woods, where ever could be a potential hiding spot."
" As you wish, King Peter." Vincent said as he bowed and got right on Peter's orders. Vincent's hoofs could be heard clunking up against the marble floor.
" The funny thing is, I thought the girl, looked very familiar. Sort of like Lily Penny." Peter told his brother and sisters.
" Peter, it's completely impossible for another person we know to stumble into Narnia." Susan told him logically.
" She's right, Peter." Lucy nodded her head.
" I know, but something about that girl reminded me of Lily." Peter said.
" Peter, this whole day has been completely overwhelming. I think we all need to relax." Susan suggested.
" Susan's right, let's eat!" Edmund said having his mind on food once again. Lucy rolled her chocolate brown eyes as the children followed Edmund out of the strategy room.
So, I know that the first chapter is kinda dull, but I promise it gets much better! So stick around, if you're there! And if you are there please review!
