Chapter Three

Susan is told

Susan Pevensie was sitting at her desk, trying to organize it, one of her roommates sat on the other side of the room reading a book. Suddenly the phone rang making both of the girls jump in surprise.

"I'll get it," Susan roommate called as she jumped up and picked up the receiver, "Hello, yes she's right here hold on-, Susan, it's your mother, she sounds upset."

Susan looked to her roommate questioningly as she accepted the receiver from her and brought it to her ear.

"Hello mum-, are you crying? Why, what happened? Ok, yes, I'll meet you there. I love you too, bye." Susan looked like she was dazed, she dropped the receiver and it clanked to the floor.

"Susan-what's wrong?" her roommate asked a little worried as she picked up the receiver and put it back.

"Anna I need a ride, my siblings were in a railway accident, they need us-need us to-," Susan couldn't bring herself to say identify the bodies.

"I'd be happy to take you," Anna said putting her hand around her friends shoulder.

The two of them walked out the door and closed it; if they had waited a little longer they would have heard the phone ring again.

…………………

"Mum, dad!" Susan called as she entered the waiting room.

"Susan!" her mother called as she pulled Susan into her arms.

"Have-have you seen them yet?" Susan asked her voice shaking.

"No, they are only taking one family at a time, they will call us when it's our turn," Mrs. Pevensie said tears were in her eyes.

"So it's true, they are dead?" Susan said.

"We don't know Susan, no one will tell us anything," Mr. Pevensie said giving her a hug.

"Pevensie family!" the nurse called from the door.

"Here!" Mr. Pevensie called pulling his wife to her feet, Susan followed.

"This way please," the nurse said leading the three of them down a small hallway.

They passed all the doors that they wished they could go into; they were lead into a small room that was at the end of the hall. The room was cold, they knew that only meant one thing but they couldn't bring themselves to say anything. There were two lines of beds in the room; all of them had sheets draped over bodies. The nurse walked over to the end of the first line and looked to the Pevensies.

"Just so you know, this first one was under one of the train cars; his head was crushed; are you ready?" the nurse sounded sad but remained professional.

The Pevensie family didn't answer they just slowly nodded.

The white sheet was slowly pulled away from the body; Susan gasped when the sheet was fully removed. It was Edmund, his whole face was a covered in bruises, alone with his arms and chest, his eyes were closed, other then that he look like he was sleeping.

Mrs. Pevensie started crying and hide her face in her husband's chest, Susan had her own tears falling, but she couldn't bring herself to look away, she walked up to her baby brother and slowly ran her fingers through his blood stained black hair. She gently kissed his forehead, letting the tears fall from her face to his.

"He died instantly, there was no pain. Are you ready to see the next one?" the nurse asked looking to Mr. Pevensie who nodded.

The nurse moved to the next bed, she once again slowly pulled the cover away; it reviled Lucy, Susan choked on a sob when she saw her baby sister laying there motionless, her eyes closed, her skin as white as the sheet that covered her body; Susan once again stepped up the bed and placed a kiss on her little sister's forehead, not knowing how else to say good bye. Mr. Pevensie could only bring himself to nod to identify his little girl, and Mrs. Pevensie kept her face buried in her husband's shirt; she didn't have to see Lucy to know that she was dead.

"How did she die?" Susan asked quietly but she wasn't sure she really wanted to know.

"Internal injuries, she went fast," the nurse said and she recovered Lucy's body, and then Edmund's and then started walking for the door.

"Wait!" Susan nearly shouted, "There should be one more, my big brother Peter, where is he?"

"Yes, where is our other son?" Mr. Pevensie asked.

"They didn't tell you? The other Pevensie survived, your nineteen year old son is alive," the nurse said calmly surprised that they didn't know.

"Where is he?" Mrs. Pevensie nearly yelled as she looked up from her husband.

"He's in surgery, they are trying to fix the damage to his back, and a few other things I don't know the details, all I know is that he's alive, and that the doctor will come talk to you as soon as he can. You my wait here, it is the surgery waiting room," the nurse said as she lead them to a different little room within the hospital, and then with a small nod and a sad look she was gone.

Susan cupped her hands together and tried to stop the tears from falling, Peter was alive, he may be hurt, but he was alive, and that was all that mattered.
