Here's the next chapter, and I am actually pretty happy about it, so enjoy.
Disclaimer: I only own my OC.
After storming of Josephine went back to the library. She was so into her thoughts, that she didn't notice professor Kirke, before she bumped into him.
"I'm sorry professor, I didn't see where I was going."
Professor Kirke just laughed.
"No worries, nobody was hurt were they? But if you don't mind me asking, what is wrong?" He sounded genuinely concerned for her.
"Nothing big, except… Is Narnia real?" Knowing the professor would know.
"What would make you say that?" He asks with a small smile.
"Do you not believe in it anymore?"
"Of course, but that doesn't mean it's real." She answers with a confused tone.
"If you believe it's true then it is true." He says and leave her with her thoughts.
I decided to grab the book and read it in my room.
After a while Lucy showed up.
"Lucy come, I have something to show you" I decided she deserved to know.
"What is it?" She asked curiously. She sat beside me at the edge of my bed.
"This book" I said and held it up so she could see it. "Was written by my mother, about stories my grandmother used to tell me, when I was little. Stories about a land called Narnia."
"Really? Does that mean Narnia is real? It wasn't something I made up?" She looked the happiest I had seen her since we arrived.
"It is real.I believe it is, and if you believe it, it will be real to you too." Lucy smiled, but then her face fell.
"But Peter, Susan and Edmund, don't believe me, and they wouldn't like that you supporting me. I don't want you to get in trouble."
"It will be our little secret then."
Lucy nodded.
"But you have to promise me, that you will take me with you next time you go to Narnia, okay? "
Lucy smiled, I loved seeing her smile.
" I promise."
In the middle of the night I felt someone shaking me awake. It was Lucy.
"Lucy, what are you doing?" I asked sleepily.
"Don't you want to go to Narnia with me." She said with a smile.
That woke me up. I sat up quickly grabbed my robe and put on a pair of slippers.
"Lead the way."
Lucy lead us down a lot of hallways until we came to a room, that contained a wardrobe.
"Is it in there?" I asked and Lucy nodded.
I opened the door and motioned for Lucy to go first. She did and I followed.
We came to a land, covered in beautiful, white snow. There were no footprints, the snow was untouched.
"This way." Lucy said, and took my hand. She showed me the way to mr. Tumnus' home. There was a little door in the mountain wall. Lucy knocked on the door three times.
"AFTER THE VISIT TO "
"That was fun. Mr. Tumnus is a nice faun" I told Lucy. Suddenly I thought I heard something in the distance.
"Do you hear something?" I asked Lucy. After listing for a while Lucy started to smile.
"It sounds like Edmund." She said and started to run towards the sounds.
"Lucy! Wait." I yelled and started to run after her, she's pretty fast. When I finaly chougt up with her I saw it was in fact Edmund who we heard.
"Edmund? What are you doing here?"
"What am I doing here? What are you doing here?"
"I am here with Lucy, visiting ."
"The white witch hasn't found out anything about him meeting me" Lucy told him.
"The white witch?"
"She calls herself the Queen of Narnia." I told him
"But she really isn't." Lucy added, she noticed how Edmund looked
"Are you alright? You look awful."
"Well, what'd you expect, it's freezing. How do we get out of here?" He asked
"Come on." Lucy said, and grabbed his hand.
"This way."
As soon as we got out of Narnia Lucy ran straight to Peter's room. She jumped in his bed and started shaking him.
"Peter, Peter wake up! Peter, wake up! It's there! It's really there!"
"Lucy, what are you talking about?" He asked sleepy.
"Narnia! It's all in the wardrobe like I told you!"
Susan had entered at this point.
"You've just been dreaming, Lucy." She said trying to be reasonable.
"But I haven't! I saw mr. Tumnus again! And this time Josephine and Edmund went too."
All eyes turned on Edmund and me, and Edmund looked shocked, like he hadn't expected to be dragged into this.
"You… You saw the faun?" I nodded while Edmund shook his head.
"Well, Josephine saw him, but Edmund didn't actually go there with me" Then she thought of something.
"What were you doing, Edmund?" Yes what was he doing? Was he just standing in the snow, freezing?
"I was just playing along. I'm sorry Peter. I shouldn't have encouraged her, but you know what little children are like these days. They just don't know when to stop pretending. It's not like it's my fault. Josephine was already encouraging her when I found them." My jaw dropped, not only is he upsetting Lucy and lying, but he is pinning it all on me. By this time Lucy was already in tears and started to run off, I quickly followed her, and I could her Susan and Edmund doing the same thing.
When I found lucy she had just run into Professor Kirke, still crying. I heard Susan and Peters footstep stopping somewhere behind me, but I didn't care as I went up and gently took Lucy away from Professor Kirke, who didn't really know what to do. Lucy was still crying while I hugged her.
"You children are one shenanigan shy of sleeping' in the stable!" I heard mrs. Macready say as she found us, and if it wasn't such a serious situation, I would have laughed at her face when she saw the professor.
"Professor. I'm sorry. I told them you were not to be disturbed" By this time Lucy had stopped crying and were looking at professor Kirke.
"It's alright, mrs. Macready. I'm sure there's an explanation. But first of all, I think these two is in need of a little hot chocolate" He said and gestured to Lucy and I.
Peter's POV.
After Lucy and Josephine went off with mrs. Macready, Susan and I turned to get back to bed, but the professor wanted to talk to us.
"You seem to have upset the delicate internal balance of my housekeeper"
"We're very sorry, sir. It won't happen again." I said and took Sausan by the sleeve, but she wasn't done.
"It's our sister, sir Lucy." She told him.
"The weeping girl?"
"Yes, sir. She's upset."
"Hence the weeping"
"It's nothing. We can handle it." I told them, I just wanted to get out of there.
"Oh, I can see that."
"She thinks she's found a magical land. In the upstairs wardrobe." That seemed to get a reaction from the professor.
"What did you say?"
"The wardrobe. Upstairs. Lucy thinks she found a forest inside"
"She won't stop going on about it, and Josephine are not helping"
"What was it like?"
"Like talking to a lunatic"
"No, no, no, not her. The forest"
"You're not saying you believe her?"
"You don't?"
"But of course not. I mean, logically, it's impossible."
"What do they teach in schools these days?"
"Edmund said they were only pretending"
"He's usually the more truthful one, is he?"
"No. This would be the first time."
"Well if she is not mad and not lying, then logically we must assume she's telling the truth. "
"You're saying we should just believe her?"
"She's your sister, isn't she? You're her family. You might just try acting like one."
We took that as a sign to leave but the professor had on last thing to say.
"Don't be too hard on Josephine, she means well."
