Disclaimer: I still don't and never will own Narnia
Chapter Three
I woke up hours later, after the fire had gone cold. I didn't feel like getting up and rekindling, so I sat in the old professor's chair under layers of warm blankets.
Narnia. It seemed forever gone from me. It was my fault, too. Because of my mistakes, because of my foolishness, I had forsaken Narnia.
I remembered what I saw Jill and the others say about me. They were right. I had been conceited. All that ran through my mind was the newest party, the newest crush, the newest fashions, and, in thinking of these things I forgot about Narnia.
I stared into the distance. Was it true what they said; once a queen in Narnia, always a queen in Narnia? Was there hope of redemption.
Suddenly I heard a knock on the door. I stood up to go and answer it. While walking to the door I wondered, who could be calling at this hour? I was expecting no one and all my friends had told me how I was no longer fun to be with.
I opened the door sadly. In the doorway was a man, only a little bit older than I, with dirty blond hair and the deepest blue eyes. If my "friends" had seen him they all would be flirting with him like crazy.
But as I saw him, I couldn't help wondering why he was here and why he looked so strangely familiar.
"Hello," The man said with an accent I couldn't identify, "Excuse me, it is my first time in this area. Could you direct me to a – a hotel. I'm very lost and my– my car broke down –"
"There are no hotels for miles around." I interrupted him, "This house is very big and it seems rather empty, sometimes. If you like you can stay until your car is fixed."
"Thank-you." The man said, softly. He was so sweet, so handsome, how could I possibly have met him and not remember. And, yet, there was a shy familiarness in his eyes.
"I'll show you to your room." I told him, "Follow me."
Okay, I know the chapter was shorter than usual and it took me a long time to update but I had a lot of schoolwork.
