Narnia (based on the movies) I only own the female version of Peter, Professor Kirke's grandson, and the many others you don't recognize. Everything else belongs to C.S Lewis, though if anything happens in this story that you don't recognize from the books or movies is mine.
The next morning was quiet and full of tension. I sighed as I packed the last of my clothes in my sack, mum told us to pack light. I was dressed in a gray knee length skirt, a brown, long sleeve button up shirt, and loafers. I combed my hair and brushed my teeth before heading downstairs, we had eaten a quick breakfast, with what was left, before heading to the train station. Everyone was quiet and solemn, nobody wanted to leave. Since there were too many of us to take a taxi, not to mention it would be too expensive, we walked. I felt dread as the whistles, the sounds of children, and men shouting filled the air. We were now at the train station. We all lined up by the door. I could see the sadness in mum's eyes as she attached labels to us, ones that told the train guards where we were going. I stood in between Lucy and Edmund as mum finished attaching Lucy's tag.
"Are you warm enough?" mum asked Lucy, both were on the verge of tears.
Lucy nodded and mum said, "Good girl."
"If dad were here he wouldn't make us go." Edmund said suddenly.
"If dad were here it would mean that the war was over and we wouldn't have to go." I said to him irritated.
"Hannah you will look after your siblings, won't you?" mum asked hugging me.
"I will mum." I said refusing the emotion to get the better of me, I had to remain strong, for my family.
She gave me a sad smile before moving to the others. As mum did I saw Jason hugging Susan, I knew he had a small crush on her, even though Susan didn't feel the same, but it hurt knowing they were going to be separated. They then released each other and both wiped away their tears, before Susan joined us again.
"Well then, off you go then." mum said giving us a small smile.
The four of us started heading towards the lady collecting tickets, which I had in my hand, and followed the line of children. I then saw Lucy turn and I could tell that she wanted to run back, but I crouched on knees, took her hand saying, "Come on Lu, we have to stick together. Don't worry, everything will be alright."
If only I felt as confident as I said them. Once we were in line I looked up and saw a group of soldiers coming down the stairs from the back, all them looked so young, possibly my age, and though there were times I thought my dad was an ass; I couldn't help but search for him, knowing that it was impossible for him to be there. I had been so spaced out that I didn't hear the lady calling for the tickets.
"May I have your tickets please."
"Hannah." I heard Susan hiss at me before feeling her take the tickets.
I looked at Susan and noticed my siblings were looking at me with concern, even Ed looked slightly concerned, though I wonder if he was concerned for my mental state.
"You may go." The lady said.
I urged them on and made sure they didn't leave my sight. Good lord I sounded like a worried mother. I helped my siblings get onto the train before getting on myself. We all leaned out the window and waved to our mum, Rose, and Jason just as the train started to leave. Shouting our goodbyes. We all stopped when the station was out of sight and headed to find a compartment. Almost all the compartments were filled and it seemed like we had walked through the entire train, before we finally found one that only held two children, one girl and one boy, you could easily tell that they were brother and sister. We all went inside and I put my trunk on the rack before putting Lucy's up, I went to put Edmund's up, but he snatched it back giving me a slight glare as he put it up himself. Susan and I sat on the empty seats while Edmund and Lucy cramped together on the other side of the two children. It was going to be a long journey. We were going to the last stop that was on this trains schedule, so we were going to be here for awhile. Lucy had curled up against me and had her head in my lap and her feet were on Susan's. Two hours past as we hit stop after stop before the two siblings got off. I looked out the window, we didn't know anything about this guy were going to live with, except that he was a professor, had no children, and that his housekeeper Mrs. Macredey would be picking us up at the station. As we traveled I thought about Jason, and no I don't like him; I think of him as another brother. I wondered how he was coping, I mean he has to find a job, and that could be difficult because he's very shy and quiet. I still remember when we met.
Flashback
It was Saturday morning and my siblings, well except for Lucy, who wasn't old enough, were in the park. Susan was laughing at a joke that apparently Edmund had said. We stopped laughing when we heard something, well someone. I heard laughing, turned around and saw some neighborhood bullies, but really they were just poor kids with problems, who took them out on someone else. I could hear them picking on someone, again.
"This boy should've been born a girl, I mean look at him. He's shy and quiet, like a girl, has hair like a girl, I mean who's ever seen a boy with black chin length hair, I bet he even has a funny voice. I mean have you ever seen anyone so weak and pathetic."
"Leave me, alone." a voice said, I realized that as the group parted somewhat, that it came from the boy they were picking on.
"Hannah he needs help." Susan said.
"Shh, I want to hear the truth from them." I replied focusing on the group.
"The truth? From them? Honestly Hannah you'll never find out the truth from people like them." Susan said surprised at my response.
"You do when-"
"When do you get the truth from people like them?" Edmund asked glaring at me slightly.
"Well if you had let me finish you would've found out, you find out the truth from people when they brag." I said.
"Unfortunately you have a point."
But then I heard a groan. I turned and saw the boys about to beat him. I wasn't thinking, I knew this was stupid, but I ran towards them.
"Hannah! What are you doing?" I heard Susan call/ask.
When I reached the group I shouted, "Hey leave him alone! I said leave him alone!"
I managed to move through the group and stood in front of the boy, you see when I was younger and it had just been me and Susan, my dad thought it would be a good idea for me to learn how to defend myself, especially when I got into fights with the other girls. He definitely thought I should learn when I came home with a bloody lip and nose. So I wasn't defenseless.
"Just what do you think you're doing Pevensie?" their leader I'm guessing asked.
Only now that I looked at him, did I realize who he was, he was the one who used to never leave Susan alone, the one who used to defend the girls when I defended their target, and gave me many bruises.
"I'm stopping you from hurting this boy, what do you think? Or did you not hear me?"
"You know, because I'm feeling generous I'll leave, but the next time you get between me and my victim, you're dead Pevensie." Jacob said before leaving with his group.
I turned to the boy, he really wasn't that bad looking. Sure his hair looked like it needed to be trimmed and washed, but other then that he looked fine.
"Are you alright?" I asked holding out my hand.
"Uh yeah, thank you. You really shouldn't have done that though, I mean, now they'll be after you." the boy said.
"Oh don't worry I can handle them. Hey aren't you the boy who lives right next door to us?"
"Yes. Jason Smith."
"Oh now I remember, I'm Hannah Pevensie."
End Flashback
I couldn't help but smile as I remembered it.
"Hannah. Hannah." a voice hissed at me.
I was snapped out of my thoughts and turned to face Susan.
"What?" I asked.
"We're here."
"Oh."
I looked out the window and sure enough we were at our stop.
