A/N- Thanks so much for all the support everyone! I know it's been forever since I've updated…most of the blame for not writing lies with life getting busier than I ever thought it would. I'm now working as a nurse and have been for the past five years, I haven't written as much in the past eight years and I know a lot of my stories have ended up abandoned at this point in time. I do really want to finish this story though and I hope I can do so in the coming months (or years)

Also this is the point at which things…change a bit =) I'll let you figure that one out on your own!

Disclaimer- I do not own, nor ever plan on trying to own, The Twilight Saga. I also do not own The Chronicles of Narnia, though I think it would be amazing to.

Thoughts/ Flashbacks

Change of Location/ sometimes Time as well

Chapter 5- Faith

Rising terror fills me as the ground shakes uncontrollably, I feel Edward pull myself and my grandmother to the ground as we wait out the constant tremors. My eyes shut in fear as I cling to Edward's body. 'Earthquakes aren't even normal here, what in the world is happening right now?' I wonder while trying to stay still. The earth's shaking dies down and bright sunlight streams down from overhead, but that couldn't be right this is Forks, Washington the place where it's sunny maybe ten days during the year, okay so ten days is probably pushing it. I feel Edward let me go and he helps me off the ground, I turn around to help my grandmother stand but what I see shocks me, a young woman of roughly twenty years of age is right where my grandmother should be, her soft chocolate curls tumble down her back and her clear blue eyes look into mine and I realize something, this is my grandmother, just…younger.

"Oh," I hear the single syllable uttered by a soft feminine voice that is unfamiliar to my ears. I watch as she stares at smooth hands and as she examines the pale yellow dress she is wearing. "Oh dear, I don't think we're in Forks anymore…" Blue eyes met brown as I realize what she means, there's only one place we could be and I'm almost afraid to say it thinking that it might shatter this dream.

"Narnia…." Bella whispers as she twists and turns under the comforter before shooting straight up in bed, wide awake from the realistic dream. "Ugh," Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, Bella flings the blankets off and her bare feet touch the cold floor, another day of wedding planning only today her grandmother was going to be there, hopefully it would offset Alice a little bit. "Who am I kidding? Alice can't be tamed…" Bella mutters while dreading the day ahead.

ooOoo

'Another foggy day,' Susan thinks to herself as she works on the garden in her backyard while waiting for Alice to pay her daily visit. The aftermath of the fight with Victoria had been hectic enough that no one was able to question Susan on what had happened when Victoria had tried to cross the barrier, the events were still confusing to Susan. She wouldn't be able to explain it any better than anyone who'd seen it as well.

ooOoo

I could see the fear in Isabella posture as we saw Victoria charge head on towards the house, but she hit a translucent barrier which repelled her immediately and her body landed in a heap several feet back. Victoria quickly stood as the shield shuddered violently and a distant roar, almost like that of a lion's, echoed throughout the entire forest and I knew instantly who was the cause for this occurrence and I heard his name slip through my lips, Aslan.

Slowly a shimmering lion stepped out of the now visible barrier, its golden mane shining in the nonexistent light. All movement stops outside the barrier as all present stare in shock at the mirage lion. To their surprise the lion opens its mouth and speaks "None who wish harm on this Daughter of Eve shall pass," Victoria starts laughing thinking the lion is only going to speak but a creature she doesn't recognize steps out of the barrier to stand beside the lion. A half human, half horse shining in the same way as the majestic lion. Their appearances surprised me, Peter had made it very clear that I was no longer a friend of Narnia, but had I somehow redeemed myself without even knowing it? Maybe Aslan understood why I had acted the way I did, people in love will do foolish things.

"A centaur..." Edward says very quietly knowing that the other vampires will be able to hear him.

"For the honor of her majesty Queen Susan the Gentle!" The centaur bellowed and charged Victoria's companion, who had been inching closer to the barrier hoping to get through. Seth took the opportunity to fight Riley and start pulling him apart to set him on fire later.

"What the hell..." Victoria muttered before turning her attention to the stock still lion. "What not going to charge me down?" The lion chuckled which caused Victoria to take a step back. Instead of waiting for the lion to attack her, Victoria crouched and sprang like a coil at the lion, but the lion was too quick and had her pinned to the ground in a matter of seconds.

"You are much like Jadis young one, but even she knew not to try and take me head on." the mirage of Aslan said before letting one more roar out into the heavens.

ooOoo

A ray of light escapes from the endless clouds and the barrier is almost visible in its healing rays. "Maybe…I have been forgiven…" Susan whispers as a soft, yet, warm wind wafts through the garden. Suddenly the skies become dark as a sinister feeling seeps into the normally peaceful garden. From out of the forest came a creeping dark mass that hugged the soft grass, looking in its wake, Susan noticed that it seemed to be killing all that it touched and soon it was trying to come into her yard but the barrier began to pulse and as soon as it had appeared, it was gone and everything had returned to normal.

"Susan?" the call of Alice's gentle voice called Susan back from wherever her mind has retreated upon seeing the black mass. Something was wrong and it wasn't something that anyone in this world could deal with.

ooOoo

Meanwhile somewhere far, far away

The normally quiet castle was abuzz with activity, servants were rushing about preparing for the departure of the Kings and Queens, one young woman strolled about the gardens ignoring all the chaos. Her light chestnut hair hung loose down her back and the bright sun caused the golden threads in her sky blue dress to reflect in a million different ways. A delicate silver crown rested upon her brow and below it two very worry filled eyes examined her surroundings. Unbeknownst to the young woman, a young man with dark black hair was approaching her; he also wore a crown and his dark clothes contrasted with her light ones, but the gentle breeze kept all cool in Narnia, even in the summer months.

"Lucy?" The young man called trying not to startle his younger sister. Lucy turned around to face him and smiled.

"Hello Edmund, are the others ready to leave yet?" Lucy inquired while walking towards her brother and in the process walking by a statue that none of them could bear to look at. Her eyes unwittingly gazed upon the marble recreation of her older sister's gentle form and a sigh escaped her lips. "Do you think…" Lucy let her question hang in the air knowing she need not voice her thoughts to her older brother.

"I don't know Lu, but I think it might be true. I'm just not sure how Peter will react if it turns out it is." Edmund said as he walked over to where Lucy stood in front of the majestic marble statue of the Gentle Queen. Looking at the base of the statue, Edmund noticed a several crimson red roses from a bush that was on the opposite side of the garden. "Well it's a good thing the council members never come out here…" Edmund said pointing out the roses to Lucy, a sad smile spread across her face as she looked upon them.

"Well at least we know they'll shut up if she comes back." Lucy said while trying not to giggle, her efforts were foiled when another young man came walking up the path carrying a single crimson rose in one hand. His white shirt and black breeches contrasted greatly with his tan skin and a small smile graced his lips until he looked up and saw the other two royals doubled over in a fit of laughter. A light pink tinge graces his cheeks as he walks over to where Lucy and Edmund are trying to recompose themselves. Setting his rose down with the others, the young man keeps on walking by without talking to the other two and Lucy starts laughing again.

"If you two are done making fun of me, then you should hurry up because Peter is waiting on all of us." The young man calls over his shoulder, his cheeks still flushed from having been caught leaving flowers by Queen Susan's statue.

"Oh Caspian, don't worry we won't tell Peter." Edmund says clapping Caspian on the shoulder once they catch up to him. They walk swiftly through the corridors of the castle while servants bow as they pass by. Lucy smiles kindly at all the servants wishing that she could stop and say hello but making Peter wait was a terrible idea. Several minutes later, they exit through the entrance hall and Lucy glances behind her to look at the throne room of the rebuilt Cair Paravel, her eyes find the throne that sits beside her own and a desperate hope enters her soul. The hope that throne will be occupied by its rightful owner soon.

ooOoo

The Cullen House, Forks, Washington

The drive up the Cullen's long, winding drive seems longer than usual to Susan, perhaps it was the shadow from earlier had her worried, but not much could really go wrong around a family of vampires. A soft chuckle escapes Susan's lips as she sees the house come into view and Alice shoots her a questioning look which the older woman decides to ignore. Upon exiting the car, Susan's pale blue eyes observe the surrounding wood for signs of the mysterious dark mist from earlier. No dead foliage catches her eye so dismissing thoughts of the black mist for now, Susan follows Alice into the house and is greeted by a smiling Esme.

"Welcome back to our home Susan," Esme's gentle smile puts Susan at ease while walking into the house of the Cullen family.

"It's nice to see you again Esme after all the excitement," Susan said after taking a seat on the sofa in the living room and was quickly joined by Alice sitting beside her.

"Bella should be here soon, Edward left to pick her up a little while ago." Esme explained upon noticing Susan's gaze wandering about the room looking for the others that seemed to be missing.

"I figured as much, Isabella called yesterday to tell me about the plans for today." Susan explained as she was looking out the back wall of windows towards the forest. Alice and Esme both followed Susan's gaze towards the tree line and wondered what could possibly be bothering her so much.

"Has something caught your eye?" Esme asks and Susan merely shakes her head.

"Bella's here!" Alice's face practically shines as she quickly disappears to kidnap Bella from Edward and Susan sits waiting for the young women to return to the living room. Esme smiles at Susan before quitting the room and she passes Edward as he comes to speak with Susan.

"Oh, hello Edward," says Susan smiling slightly at the vampire as he makes his way over to her.

"Mrs. Swan, I believe you called?" Edward leans casually against the sofa and waits for Alice and Bella to appear.

"Edward! Go away, you're not allowed to hear any of this!" Alice says looking as if she wouldn't mind murdering Edward at this particular moment but a gesture from Susan stops her from saying anything else.

"I was actually wondering if we could all walk outside for a bit Alice," A gut feeling causes Susan to even suggest this, for some reason the woods are pulling her to them. The others give their consent and the merry party heads outside. Small rays of the sun rain down upon them, while Edwards and Alice play 'dodge the sun' as they head deeper into the trees.

"Grams?" Bella calls out to her grandmother who has a palm resting to the trunk of a majestic oak.

"Sorry, dear…I was just thinking. I'm surprised none of you have accosted me for the details of what happened the other day." Susan says turning to face the now still party. Edward and Alice both nod slightly and Bella smiles knowingly at her grandmother.

"Obviously Aslan protected you Grams, you told me that your older brother said you were no longer a friend of Narnia, apparently Aslan thinks differently…" Bella's voice trails off as the wind picks up around them and the creeping shadow from earlier seems to block out the sun's warm rays. Edward speeds over to Bella and stand protectively in front of her while Alice makes her way to Susan's side before the ground beneath them starts to shake.

Rising feelings of terror fill them all as the ground shakes soundly beneath them and Isabella remembers her dream from last night and how eerily similar it is to the current situation. Slowly the trembling fades along with the black shadow from earlier and warm, bright rays of sunshine gaze down on the group. Edward releases his protective hold on Bella and she turns around to locate and help her grandmother stand but what they all see shocks them to the core, a young woman of roughly twenty years of age is right where Susan Swan should be, her soft chocolate curls tumble down her back and her clear blue eyes look into Isabella's and a bell goes off in her head, that is her grandmother, just…younger.

"Oh," the single syllable uttered by a soft feminine voice that is unfamiliar to them. They watch as she stares at smooth hands and as she examines the pale yellow dress she is wearing. "Oh dear, I don't think we're in Forks anymore…" Blue eyes met brown as they realize what she means, there's only one place we could be and the fear of shattering the fragile truth keeps anyone from saying the one word they are all thinking 'Narnia.'

ooOoo

A majestic lion sits alone upon a cliff face looking down upon Narnia's newest arrivals, their confusion evident from even his view point. The tall brunette in a pale yellow dress seems to sense his presence and her gaze finds his. Her brilliant blue eyes widen and a few tears form and the lion's amber eyes convey all his love for the Daughter of Eve and the trials she has faced on her own and a mighty roar escapes his jaws to welcome the lost queen home.

The roar seems to startle her other companions as they all look up for their first glance at the lion Aslan, the two vampires and the other young woman bow their heads in respect while Susan waves happily, the joy on her face was unfathomable to the others since they did not yet understand just how much Narnia was home to her.

ooOoo

Edward flinches slightly as a roar echoes around them and his gaze turns to see a lion sitting upon the cliff behind them. "That's Aslan then?" He asks not needing any confirmation before bowing his head slightly towards the original Narnian king. Susan ignores his question as she waves to the lion knowing he will disappear again shortly. Bella goes to stand beside her now young grandmother and places a hand on her shoulder.

"Now what do we do?" She asks not knowing exactly what they should do now. Susan does not answer as she watches the lion leave the cliff and turns around to face her granddaughter.

"We find out who is reigning now, I've no idea how much time has passed." Susan says calmly knowing her companions are just as confused as she is. A warm wind encases them all and a few dryads fly through the trees overhead, their fluttering songs drifting down to the earth.

"So which way do we go then?" asks Edward his gaze angled upwards as if trying to determine where they are. A chuckle escapes Susan's lips, the sound seems to surprise her.

"Well, we pick a direction and go forward, I don't think too much time has passed…but I could be wrong of course." Susan says looking towards where the dryads flew from, Alice follows her gaze and nods.

"There's a camp that way, I can hear the people talking." Alice goes to stand by Susan and with one last look behind them at the cliff, the small party moves forward praying that the camp is full of non hostile Narnians.

ooOoo

A few hours later…

The hot Narnian sun starts dipping below the horizon as Susan finally gains her bearings of where they might be. A rushing river can be heard as well as the song's of many birds, the very nature around them seeming to know that a Queen of Narnia has finally returned to her rightful home. "I think we're near Beruna…" Susan says her voice trailing off as they spot several soldiers in the distance whom all notice the small group and approach them while a centaur among them steps forward to address them.

"Strangers, halt and declare your intentions!" The deep voice of the centaur sounds familiar to Susan's ears and she realizes that hardly any time in Narnia could have passed for Glenstorm to still be alive.

"Glenstorm!" Susan calls out excitedly the happiness of finding someone she knows filling her heart with joy. The centaur's face is overcome with shock as he recognizes the voice of the Gentle Queen.

"Your majesty," Glenstorm says and he bows formally to the Narnian Queen while the others with him follow his suit. Susan curtsies slightly and walks forward towards them beckoning the others to follow her.

"It is good to see you," Susan says her voice filled with emotion and the centaur looks past her at her companions wondering who they might be. "Ah, these are…friends of mine from my world. They were with me when Aslan brought me here." Bella and the others do not refute her explanation knowing that telling the centaur that Susan is actually the grandmother of one of her companions will not go over to well.

"The Kings and Queen shall be relieved to see you," Glenstorm pauses in his address to issue orders to his men before turning back to Susan. "If you would allow, we will escort you into camp." Susan nods her head, every part of her stance screaming the poise and grace of a queen. She gestures for the others to follow her and her heart speeds up knowing that if Glenstorm is here then Caspian is most likely alive.

The Narnian's lead them into a makeshift camp, some tents are still being put up but the largest is what Susan recognizes as the main command tent. It's flap opens at the call announcing their arrival into camp and Susan finds herself faltering. Of anything she could have expecting arriving in Narnia, her dead siblings were not it. The sight of Peter and Edmund coming towards them with Lucy following behind has her stopping in her tracks. "H-How?" Feeling Isabella grip her elbow, Susan feels weak in the knees despite her now young age. Her siblings have paused in their approach of the group, none of them have spoken. "How? How are you alive?" Susan can feel the tears forming as she tries to maintain her composure.

"...Su...what are you talking about?" Lucy's voice breaks the silence of the camp, the narnians have fallen silent around them. No one seems to want to speak, Susan can hardly blame any of them.

"You died! All of you...all of you were gone." Susan's voice shakes as she leans heavily against her granddaughter. This...none of this can be real, they can't all be alive...they just can't. It would mean her siblings had been living here in Narnia while she moved on in their world. She'd been alone for years, friends and the family that came after could never make up for the loss she had faced.

"Oh..." Lucy's quiet exclamation of understanding seems to knock some sense into her brother's, Peter walks up to the group and pulls his sister into his arms.

"We never should have treated you like that...you were suffering from leaving Narnia and we...didn't respect that. I'm sorry for how I spoke to you that night, it was wrong of me." Peter holds Susan tightly as she tries not to cry, he looks pained at having to deal with a crying sister but his expression morphs into one of confusion as Isabella hugs them both. "...Su, who is this girl?"

Letting out a light laugh, Susan pulls away from her brother and shakes off her granddaughter's hug. "It's a bit of a long story...we should move this away from prying eyes Peter..." The narnians have resumed their tasks but this conversation isn't one for everyone to witness. Susan has much to explain to her family, starting with just how many years have passed since their deaths. Hopefully they can provide answers for her presence here in Narnia. She certainly doesn't know why they're here other than they are needed in this magical land.

A/N- I hope you enjoyed this update as much as I enjoyed writing it. It's shorter than the last chapter but that's also because there's more things to come! I tend to be busy as a nurse but I am going to strive to start writing again, I miss sharing my thoughts with everyone.

Thanks to Mae-e again for sharing her idea with me, I'm surprised I managed to retain so much information for so long. An 8 year break from writing is a lot. Also thanks to my coworker who read this story and then told me I better finish it. I promise I will.
