CHAPTER 5

My eyes were flickering open. My body was laid on the ground, full of dried leaves all around me. I sat up straight and looked around me. I was in the middle of a forest, again, I suppose, wearing a white dress and just barefeet.

"Where am I?" I asked myself, stupid enough to hope there would be someone to answer it.

"Have you forgotten what the wolf had told you?" A deep and calm voiced answered my question

I searched for the owner of the voice instantly with panic. I was all alone in an unknown forest. AND before that I was in another forest, meeting a strange, aggressive, and unfriendly wolf that wouldn't even cooperate to be friends with me. I didn't even have the chance to ask his name because all he was saying was like "sst, shut up." Was that all your repay back for the kindness I've given to you? And now what? I have to face an invisible creature? What is this world? Again?

"If you are wondering where you are I can give you an answer." The voice was again was heard like it could read what was crossing my mind at the moment.

Suddenly, a sight of a big, golden lion came out of nowhere and walked towards me. Strangely, I didn't move. A tiny voice deep down inside my head told me that it was fine and I shouldn't be afraidof what my pair of eyes had seen.

"Well, I suppose, I'm in Narnia?" I answered weakly, walking towards the lion bravely. If what that voice in my head told me was true then walking towards it wouldn't be that much of a problem, right? I mean, it wouldn't eat my head off and chop every part of my body into pieces, right?

"Yes, you are my dear. Safe and sound." The magnificient lion replied and this time, I could see a smile curved on it's lips.

"What happened to my own world when I entered that wardrobe?" I asked the lion, hoping it would answer my question again like it did earlier. Who knows, maybe it would give me a clue to get out of this world and finally come back to my own.

"Destiny chose to pull you here my dear. And you shall not be afraid of what it's decided for your life. You are, since you were born, destined to be here one day. And that one day has finally came." He replied with a calming voice that somehow calmed me down and warmth was rushing down my veins.

"You have all the answers of all the questions in my head, don't you?"

"Of course. And I can see it all clearly from here without even you muttering a word of it." He smiled as he answered my, yet, another curious question. Somehow I'm just getting comfortable talking to him, but I wondered how that feeling could happen. After all I was talking to none other than a lion. I've never ever done that in my entire life before. And now that it happened, it gave me a pit in the stomach.

"Who are you?" I asked in a whisper that I thought he wouldn't even heard. Focusing my eyes on him, I could see his eyes were sparkling, willing to answer that main question that popped out in my head soon after I saw his figure.

"Deep down, I'm your friend. And your helper of everything if you need me." He answered, and gone like a wind.

I shot my eyes open widely. I realized I was having a dream.

Just a dream.

What kind of dream did I just have? Meeting a strange talking lion that claims to be my friend and helper? But it all felt so real. So real until I realized I was sweating. And I felt a bit thirsty but there was no water in my bedroom.

I didn't want to die in thirst in my own bedroom, or I suppose to call it guestroom now. How I miss my own room… Even though it didn't have a balcony or window seat.

I hopped off from my bed and walked out of my bedroom. The hallway seemed so…. quite. No one was in sight but all the lights in the hallway were on so it didn't look that creepy when I tiptoed myself to the stairs, not wanting to wake anybody at the moment especially The Just King next door, and just tried to go to the kitchen to get some water to fight off my thirst.

My admiration of the paintings and arts in the hallway still made my jaw dropped open. Narnians' arts were beyond spectacular. I remembered when I took a walk around the castle with Lucy after dinner earlier and she told me all about the Narnians' art and a long amazing history Narnia and it's ruler named Aslan.

I first asked them aren't they the rulers of Narnia already, but then she told me that the main ruler, the one who made the entire Narnia before everything was built and everything came is named Aslan.

I wonder who is he though because Lucy was called out by Susan for something after that so she couldn't finish the story. I would be glad to meet him and shake hands someday.

As I entered the kitchen, which I was difficultly of finding, the lights were turned off and I thought twice before I turn it on. Should I just go back to my room or just get some water at a good speed and rush back upstairs? What if someone walks in and I get caught? Not that getting some water is a crime though, but I was afraid if I would be judged as a person that doesn't have mannerism to learn.

I couldn't fight back the thirst anymore, I thought that I could have died in a split second so I turned on the lights and rushed to get some water. The kitchen looked pretty and modern, in my opinion. The entire wall is painted with yellow golden-ish color and on some corners there spotted flowers painted on it. It looked pretty. The counters and the kitchen set are arranged pretty well. In front of the counters there placed a high table with those high chairs just like in bars that back in my own world had. And I just thought, is Narnia this modern or am I still having my dream continued?

I walked towards one of the counter and poured a glass of water it had on it and took a big gulp of it. I exhaled deeply of how satisfied I was that finally the feeling of thirst had gone. When I was about to pour the water again into the glass I was holding, I suddenly heard a sound of footsteps coming and I got panicked immediately. I rushed to turn off the lights and walked back towards the counter where my glass laid. I was so scared of the thought someone would probably think I was going to steal anything or there was a rule that you can't sneak out into the kitchen in the middle of the night without anybody in the room, especially I was a stranger in the castle. What would they think of me?

And what I was thinking? Is that kind of rule ever exist God Ar, why are you so stupid.

So, I hid under that high table I admired a few moments ago. My breath was too uncontrollable because of the fear that I would get busted. I didn't know why I was so afraid of being caught just because taking a glass of water. After all, it wasn't a crime, was it?

I heard someone whistling as he entered the kitchen. I saw his feet from under table stop fitting in front of me, and I held my breath immediately. I'm so doomed, I thought to myself.

I had no idea who it was, which was in the kitchen and I didn't know what the hell was he doing here, right in front of me. I just wish if I was caught hiding under the table, I didn't look so outrageous.

Shortly afterwards, the man stopped whistling. I was already relaxed a bit but then again that feeling stopped. The fear began to make my forehead sweaty. The figure's feet turned, pointing at me. Oh my God.

And finally the moments which I knew was going to happen and I didn't want that to happen. The man bent his body right down, toward where I was hiding and ducked his head.

It was Edmund.

"Girl, you gotta be kidding me." Edmund said and then laughed as he straighten up.

I was a bit frustrated of course because I was too scared and too panicked to get busted and then as the world was still rotating, I found myself got caught by Edmund. The last person I wanted to spend my time with.

Screw him, I wish I was dead already.

Blood crept on my cheeks over the embarrassment I've achieved from my silly and stupid behavior. I was too paranoid, that's why.

"I know it's embarrassing okay. Stop laughing." I snapped at him sarcastically.

He was still laughing while taking out a clean and shiny plate from the drawer and fill it with some food.

"Not that I'm laughing because what I just saw like five seconds ago, but I'm laughing because you are exist." He replied shaking his head.

"Hey! That is unacceptable okay! I was just going to find some water, I was thirsty." I defended myself.

"How stupid you are. The water is there," he pointed at what happened to be the glass I just used and the water, "not under the table." He said sarcastically.

"I was too scared to get some water okay. I thought it was prohibited or something to sneak out from your room at night when nobody is around."

"You are so stupid." Edmund said and chuckled.

"I'm not stupid. It's really tiring talking to you." I rolled my eyes and crossed my hands over my chest. "What are you doing here anyway? Aren't you suppose to drool over your dream at this time?" I said sarcastically. I didn't even aware of the fact that he is a King and probably even own the water I just drank. After all, I loved in his castle. His castle. I couldn't believe it myself.

"That question should have been asked to you. What are you doing in here?" He asked back, raising his eyebrow.

Just for your information, I hate when he does that. In fact, when everyone does that. Because, I can't raise one of my own eyebrows and when I tried to raise one, I happened to raise the both of them. How pathetic is that?

"I was thirsty and I thought I would get a drink… here. You know what I mean."

"Oh." He replied without enthusiasm.

"That's just it? That is just what I got from you? An 'oh'?"

"I mean-oh, I thought you were going to make a robbery of the year." He continued smirking. I groaned because of how annoyed I was because of him. He really was professional of teasing ME.

And that smirk.

I hate every time he does that too. It was like, he had something on me that he could joke around or tease or something. But I had to admit he looks cute when he does that though.

Shit.

I did not just say that.

Why me, from all people in the universe and probably aliens that the existence is still a wonder for scientists, why should it be me who got thrown into this stupid magical world and met the dumbest, stupidest, arrogant, selfish, and unfriendly (the list could go on and on and on and on for forever but I decided to mentioned a few, just to let you know) King of the year.

"Is there any rule in this castle though that getting a drink to fight off your thirst in the middle of the night is forbidden?"

"Why are you so stupid."

"Stop saying that I'm stupid, it's annoying!"

"But seriously though, there is none. But if I was the High King when you came along, I would add that to one of the rules." As he walked towards the chair and set his plate that was full of food on the table.

"Why are you so annoying." I commented and walked towards him to get a clearer view. "What are you doing?"

"What are you doing?" He mimicked my expression and tone of speaking.

"Seriously Ed, what are you doing?"

"Eat. I'm hungry."

"In the middle of the night? Seriously? Tell me about how can you be so strange again."

"Why are you so annoying? Seriously? And tell me about how can you be so stupid, again?" he, again, mimicking my expression and tone. I rolled my eyes and groaned in frustration. "I'm just kidding okay, don't be upset." He said while he was enjoying his meal.

"Why would I? Oh, sorry. You make me upset every second I spend my life in here." I replied sarcastically.

"You know what, if I was the High King when you came, I would forbid you saying that to me and forbid you being free in this castle." Edmund said with his mouth full of food.

"Why's that? I don't do that much thing that would disturb anybody's life."

"You are disturbing my life. And for the record, because you are being you. That's the main reason."

"Why me being myself is the main reason you'd forbid me do anything?"

"Back to the beginning of the conversation: because you are annoying."

I groaned so loud like I personally thought myself scary enough to actually groan that loud. I mean, talking to Edmund was a lot of work to do. I had to put all of my efforts to come up with smart excuses and sarcastic words just to snap them all on his face. It was really tiring having an argument with him. Talking to him was like running in a circle. You didn't actually have a way out.

"Whatever Ed!" I rolled my eyes and walked towards the door out.

"Where are you going?" Edmund asked seriously. For a second when I locked eyes with him, I thought I could read his eyes wanting me just to stay and you know, keep on continue having an argument with him. Honestly, a thought of probably for once in our lifetime having a proper and serious conversation between us had crossed my mind. But I waved it away instantly as his face popped out in my head. That kind of person? Wants to have a serious conversation with me? Seriously? That's just not gonna happen.

"Going to bed, why?" I snapped away the argument I was having in my own head.

"I just want to make sure….. You're not going to make a robbery of the year in here are you? Once again, because if you do, I will-"

"Ugh, stop talking before your mouth starts to be foamy." I groaned and rolled my eyes. I stormed out of the kitchen and along the hallway I could hear his bark of laughter clearly echoing my innocent ears.
