The Six
Emily's POV
As we walk through the house Mrs. Macready tells us the house rules, how we can go here and can't go there. But I pay no attention as I suck in the magnificent home, it's beauty is unparalleled to anything I have ever scene. I almost wish that I could stay here forever, but I suppose that would only mean war was still going on.
I take it upon myself to observe each of my siblings and their reactions to the home. Peter is zoned out looking at a painting of a great lion standing with four people, two adults two children, surrounding an apple tree. Which I suppose is an odd painting, granted this entire house is odd in the most beautiful way. Susan is paying close attention to the rules Mrs. Macready is spitting out every other second. I can her making a mental list in her head so that she may be able to remind any of us if we step out of line.
I stop observing my siblings for one moment when out of the corner of my eye I see a pedestal with a statue of a Centaur on it, I reach out to touch it and feel a spark l just as Mrs. Macready shouts,
"No touching of the historical artifacts,"
I jump back confused, but quickly brush off the fact that she said historical artifacts, and that by simply touching a statue I could create such electricity. I return to the thought of my siblings as Lucy grabs my hand a gives it three quick squeezes, meaning I love you. I return the favor before looking down into Lucy's eyes and realize the hand gesture was more to reassure herself everything was going to be ok then to reassure me. As we follow Mrs. Macready, Peter, Susan, and Edmund up to our rooms I feel a hand on the small of my back and look over my shoulder to see Jackson give me a quick nod before walking up the stairs.
That Night
Emily's POV
Susan, Lucy, and I unpack our things into a large chest at the end of each our our beds. As we do so Lucy runs out of the room and down the hall and comes back pulling Peter and Jackson by their hands and Edmund following her. She then proceeds to beg us to move the beds together so that we can have a "giant" sleepover. Peter and Jackson comply with her request only after she gives them the large puppy dog eyes I have seen in a very long time. Her idea beings to excite all of us, well all of us except Edmund. We begin to sneak pillows and blankets across the hall from the boys room and create a giant pillow fort.
As all of my siblings were distracted Jackson grabs my hand and pulls me into a spare room. The moment we walk in a shiver runs down my back and I gain a eerie feeling in the pit of my stomach, I turn around to see a giant wardrobe with a tarp laying on the floor next to it.
Before I can say anything Jackson comments, "You know where would be a great place to hide from your siblings, that wardrobe."
And so I take off running to the door, I am a few inches away from being able to open it when Jackson grabs me by the waist from behind. He spins me around before setting me down a kissing me right behind my ear. And before I know it he opens the wardrobe door and pulls me inside, we being to kiss with a passion we have never had the luxury to experience before. He picks me up and walks to the back of the wardrobe where he expects to find a wooden wall, he sets me down and thinks he is pushing me up against the backing. Instead I feel a sharp prick on my back and turn around to see a beautiful forest covered in snow.
Behind me I hear him say, "I've never seen anything this beautiful."
"Your right there is nothing this beautiful in the world," I say as I turn around to look at him, "we should go explore."
"Ok, but only for a few minutes. We have to get back before your siblings realize we are gone."
We begin to walk through the forest and continue on until we find a lamppost sitting in the middle of a clearing.
"We should probably be getting back," I say, "but perhaps we will have a chance to come back tomorrow." And with that we walk back to the back of the wardrobe hand in hand. As we exit I see the tarp on the ground next to the wardrobe.
"Maybe we should cover the wardrobe so that my siblings don't find it, I would love to have it all to ourselves."
We quickly cover the wardrobe and head back to the girls room where we find Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy having a pillow fight. I jump in and grab a pillow to fling at Edmund, which is of course received with an angry glare. We finish the fight in which Peter and Lucy come out victorious after teaming up to ambush me. Then we all settle down and fall into a deep sleep.
