Chapter 2
After lots of pushing through crowds, the two finally made their way onto the train and found their cabin.
"Hm, bigger than I thought it would be," Caleb commented.
"Do you think we have this all to ourselves?" Casey wondered.
"Hopefully."
It seemed like as soon as they sat down, the train started off. They heard lots of shouting and cries of "goodbyes" and "I'll miss yous" and "write mes". But the farther they got away, the quieter it got.
And it was quiet in their cabin. Neither knew what to say. They were both still in shock. All they could do was look out the window at the scenery, and wonder if this was all just some crazy dream.
Finally, Casey broke the silence by saying, "Is this really happening?"
Caleb chuckled a little and responded with, "I don't know."
"I mean, it feels like we just fell asleep in that closet and none of this is real."
"Dream or not, I do love these clothes though."
Casey laughed. "You would comment on your outfit."
"Hey, I can't help it if I look fabulous." They both laughed.
"Do you think we're gonna meet...?" Casey asked.
"We'll have to. We're going to the Professor's house and that's where they were sent to too."
"I wonder if they're there already."
"I wonder if we'll get along with them."
"I'm sure we will with Susan, Lucy and Peter. Edmund on the other hand..."
"Ugh, the little brat. Maybe he won't be as bad as we think he'll be."
"You're being mighty optimistic."
"I'm just...really excited."
"Me too!" They couldn't stop the smiles from growing on their faces as they thought about what was coming.
After a couple of hours, they finally arrived at their station.
"Haddington Station", Casey read.
"We're here."
"Who do you think is going to-"
She was interrupted by a horse trotting. They looked down the road and saw a horse drawn wagon being driven by an older woman.
"Macready," they both whispered.
She stopped in front of them.
"Is this all of you then?" Mrs. Macready asked them.
"It's just us ma'am," Caleb answered.
"Very well." The two kids just stood there, staring at the woman. "Well what are you standing around for? Get on then." They wasted no time in climbing on the wagon. As soon as they were settled they took off. They rode in silence for a little while until Mrs. Macready spoke, "I should tell you, my name is Mrs. Macready. I am the housekeeper."
"My name is Casey and this is Caleb."
"I already know who you both are. We were informed of who we would be housing. And I should inform you that soon four others will be joining you."
The two shared a small smile between them.
The rest of the ride was quiet, with only the sound of the horse's hooves. But soon they arrived at the house.
'Woah,' Casey thought when she saw it. It was a huge mansion that was very long and very tall.
When they pulled up in front, Caleb and Casey got their stuff and climbed off. They gave each other a nervous look before following Macready inside.
"The rules of the house are as follow: there shall be no shouting, or running. No improper use of the dumb waiter. No touching of the historical artifacts. And above all, there shall be no disturbing of the Professor. Do you understand?" They nodded. "Good. Now follow me to your rooms." She led them a little ways down the hallway and stopped outside two doors. "The one on the left is for the girls, the right is for the boys. There is a door that connects them. I'll let you two get settled." With that, she turned and walked away.
When she was gone, Caleb stated, "Well she's lovely."
Casey chuckled and followed, "C'mon, lets get in our rooms."
They went through their respective doors. In each room, there were three beds, a large window, two bureaus and two closets. Casey claimed her bed with her bag and walked into Caleb's room. He was standing at the window, looking outside. She walked over next to him.
"Well, we're here," she told him.
"I just...can't wrap my head around it. You wished it, and now here we are. At the Professor's house, about to meet the Pevensies, go to Narnia...I just..."
"But you are excited right?"
Caleb looked at her with a huge smile on his face and answered, "So much."
Hope it's getting interesting. More stuff coming! Please please revieeeeeeeeew
