Disclaimer: I don't own Narnia, if I did, I would go there every day.
Hey, guys. I actually updated this story twice this week! Yay! I'm so excited! I usually don't update this often with anything I write! Maybe I can get another chapter up by next week. I hope you like this one. I don't like this chapter as much as some of the other ones. If you think I should rewrite it, I will.
Hope you like it anyways.
Chapter Seven
"W-What?" I asked. Did he just say Narnia?
"Narnia. You pretend you've never been there, but you were a queen! You can't just act as if we're no more than a game!"
Susan stared at Caspian in shock, "You mean…" She paused and shook her head, "No, it can't be… It all was real. Narnia was real."
Caspian nodded, "I am sorry for the outburst, it was wrong of me."
"No, I've been awfully blind." Susan shook her head, "How could I not see?"
"I don't know." He whispered. "You didn't seem to want to. I know you found Eustace's old journal."
"That… That wasn't just my imagination?" I asked.
"Did you really think that you could create a world like Narnia on your own?"
"My parents always used to say I had an amazing imagination." I mumbled, "You can't say that when you were a child you never imagined fairytales were real. Everyone has to grow up at sometime or another and I did."
"The fairytales I heard as a child were not fairytales at all. You and the other kings and queens were my fairytales and I always believed in you."
"Don't you ever think that maybe I'm different than you or the other kings and queens? They look for adventure. They jump at the chance to get themselves all killed!"
As soon as the words were out of my mouth, I regretted it, but it was true. I was different. I was always too scared to disagree. What would people think of me if I said no or didn't do this or that? After only saying what other people wanted me to, how could I believe the story that I was a Queen who shaped a nation?
"And what about you?" Caspian asked, "The journal was by your bedside table. How could you doubt after seeing it? Seems a lot like you jump at the chance to doubt. At least your siblings have the courage to stand for what they believe."
We resumed our silent breakfast, except now the pancakes were cold and rubbery and not very nice to eat. My face was stained with tears by now. Caspian didn't understand; he hadn't lived in this world long enough.
I hope you all liked this next chapter. It doesn't really get her too much closer to Narnia, but it gets her to believe, and that's one step closer.
Greyhound Master – Yep, it was the perfect ending. I love to put in evil cliffhangers, they're so much fun grins! Here's the next chapter. I really hope you like it.
Asian Novelist – I'm glad you like the story so far. I hope you like the next chapter!
Azulcat – After I read your review last night, I looked over the first chapter again. You're right, Susan should not have just gone back to bed, but she was tired and confused and probably thought that it was just a dream or something. If I have some extra time this week, I'll try to add more to the ending, but I might be kind of busy during the weekend. I'm having a sleepover with one of my best friends and a bunch of other stuff, so I don't know. Here's the next chapter I hope you like it.
