Chapter 2: The Arrival
"Susan..." a distant voice called, she looked around a vast dark room, almost a palace, cloaked in the darkness of night. She climbed a dais where four thrones stood. So familiar, yet so far away...she thought to herself. She looked down at her garments, instead of her normal work dress, she saw a gown intricately designed. She also saw that her body had somehow transformed to when she was a youth. She stared at this change than the voice rang through the empty hallways again, "Susan!" She looked around expecting to see a familiar face, she saw nothing. She stepped off onto the floor, her footfalls the only noise.
"Yes where are you?" she whispered, she went through a long corridor where she believed it came from. It was wide with a door every couple feet, a few windows were above, the moons light seeped in.
"Do you not see me?" the voice cried out, "For I stand next to you"
She began to become frightened, her voice shook, "There is nobody near me. Come out from the shadows so that I may see you!"
The voice seemed to shake the ground, "My daughter, it is not I that must step out of the shadows."
Her eyes opened, she was laying on her bed, That was an odd dream. She shook her head then rubbed her weary eyes with her aged hands. Her mind immediately went to other things. Kyle and Hannah should be here shortly, she groped for her glasses that laid on the end table. After putting them on she glanced at the clock.
"Goodness gracious! I don't normally sleep in that long!" the clock showed that it was nine o'clock. They said they were going to make stops before they got here, I should still have time. She quickly got dressed, and began working on the house once again, making sure it was perfect.
...
"Mom, how long do we have to stay with her." Hannah sighed, while in a cab on the way to her Grandmothers house. Kyle just stared out of the window, rain was pouring steadily, the sound was not calming at all for them.
"Hannah, remember no attitude," her mom began, "Just because you won't have any of your electronics does not mean you won't have fun."
Her dad continued what her mom began, " Your brother isn't whining, just don't try to make a situation out of this. It won't be boring I promise, your mother grew up in that house and enjoyed it. She has told me wonderful things about it." He looked over toward Lilia to have her explain it.
"When we first took you here, at the ages of five, you stayed in one room, but now you can explore the whole house. There are many strange things inside the house, it's almost as if the house is enchanted." she saw Hannah look up and Kyle turn from the window.
"What do you mean?" Hannah asked first, but Lilia saw the look in Kyles eyes and knew that's what he also wanted to know.
"When you talk with Grandmother Susan you will find out," she winked. Then the cabby told them that they were at their destination.
They stepped out with umbrellas, the ground was spotted with puddles, they eventually made it up the steps, shivering with their luggage. Hannah and Kyle noticed a metal lion on the door, it looked as their mother said, "enchanted."
Thomas their father knocked on the door, then they stepped back when it began to open. The twins saw an elderly lady with a kind face beckon them in with a kind English accent. They hurridly came inside the warmth of the house. Each one tossed off the wet shoes, and coats they had on, and moved toward the couches. Lilia embraced her mother, and Thomas just sat, until she came to him, she gave him a hug as well. Then she came upon her grandchildrens faces
"This must be Hannah and Kyle!" Susan clapped and clasped her hands in front of her chest. Lilia, and Thomas beckenoned them forward. They both gave her a hug.
"I musn't forget, but could I show them their room daughter?" Hannah and Kyle stood right next to her, smiling.
"Of course!" she answered. Susan ushered them into Peters room, with their belongings.
"This is where you'll be staying for the months you will be with me, but one of you must sleep on the ground." Kyle quickly took the offer to sleep on the ground, since he wasn't allowed to back at home. Susan told them to get used to the room while she talked with their parents, who were going to leave to France in an hour.
" Grandma Sue, doesn't seem that boring," Kyle said as he lifted himself onto the bed. Hannah was just staring at the room and didn't even notice his statement. She then saw an envelope on top of a leather journal.
"Kyle, what do you think that is?" She asked as she pointed toward it.
"I don't think we should touch it, it probably isn't meant for us." he said in a caustious voice.
"But why would it be here in 'our' room" her eyes shone piercingly.
"When did you become so interested in stuff like that?" he got off the bed and went closer to where the journal lay.
"Well it just looked," she was searching for an appropriate word, "different, that's it." She inched closer as Kyle got closer to it.
Kyle stood over it now, brushed the envolope to the side and he read the names Peter, Edmund, and Lucy.
"I think it's a diary," he whispered, "But those people probably wern't important." He turned away from it, Hannah grabbed it and set it on the bed and began to read.
...
Well there will definetly be more, the next chapter is about the entries.
