Narnia (based on the movies) I only own the female version of Peter 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 four of us now stood on the platform, watching the train pull out, and it became deathly silent. I looked at Susan who looked back, sharing the same worried expression. Nobody was here to great us, we didn't know anything about this professor except for the fact that he lived alone, if you exclude his housekeeper Mrs. Macready, who was suppose to pick us up, but that was it.
"The professor knew we were coming?" Susan asked, unsure.
"Maybe we weren't labeled correctly." Edmund guessed looking at his tag.
Susan and I gave each other looks of concern. Suddenly we heard the sound of wheels and the snorting of a horse.
"Whoa, Whoa." we heard a woman say.
We all walked down the steps and saw a woman who was somewhat old, had red hair that was pulled into a bun, and had a strict look about her. I gave her a nervous look before asking, "Mrs. Macready?"
"I'm afraid so. Is this it then? Haven't you brought anything else?" she asked looking surprised.
"No ma'am, it's just us." I said giving a small smile.
She returned the smile and said, "Small favors, come on then."
First I helped Susan and Lucy on along with their stuff.
"Get off me, I don't need any help." Edmund snapped when I went to help him.
I raised an eyebrow at him as he huffed and got onto the wagon himself, I sighed before getting on. We were heading up a hill now, no one talked, not even Lucy, though she did try to lighten the mood which didn't work,the only sound that was made was the horse's hooves on the grass and Mrs. Macredey egging it on. We soon arrived at a large house, it looked to be at least four stories, it was a beautiful house, and I could tell that it was not going to be boring. Mrs. Macready pulled the horse to a stop and we all got off the wagon and followed her through the red double door, and into the house. We looked in awe, I swear we wondered into a museum, it was filled with historical artifacts.
"Now you should know, the professor is not accustomed to having children in the house, their will be no shoutin', or runnin', no improper use of the dumbwaiter, and NO Touching the professor's priceless artifacts!" Mrs. Macready snapped at Susan who was about to touch a stone head, but immediately stepped back.
Edmund and I snickered, it was rather funny, after all Susan was the one who always scolded us when mum wasn't around, and here she was getting scolded. But we were silent when Mrs. Macready said, "And most important of all, there shall be no disturbin' of the professor, now come on I'll show you to your rooms."
I got to have my own room because there were only two beds to a room and I had nobody to bunk with, Lucy and Susan were sharing a room and since Edmund was the only boy he also got a room to himself, I bet he was very happy about that. We pretty much spent the rest of that day getting used to being in a large house, exploring, and unpacking. That night after we ate dinner I sat on the chair by the window, that was in the girls room, and was listening to the radio. I was listening to the war, I had to find out, and pray that there was some sort of news that told us Finchly still existed. Lucy had changed into her small, light gray nightgown, and was sitting underneath the covers. I wasn't even thinking of her feelings, which I know was selfish of me, when I didn't hear the radio anymore. I turned and glared at Susan, who gave me one right back, and motioned to Lucy. It was then that I heard the very faint whimpers, I felt my heart breaking, I was so cruel and selfish, maybe I was becoming the evil person in this real fantasy, I mean I had to be, I was already destroying this family, what kind of sister am I, I mean look at me, I made my own sister cry. I gave her a sad look and sat at the end of Lucy's bed as Susan sat next to her.
"These sheets feel scratchy." Lucy mumbled, her voice breaking.
I swear I could hear my heart shattering into little pieces, I caused this.
"Don't worry Lu, before you know it the war will be over, and we'll be home soon." I said with a smile, which Lucy returned.
"Yeah, if home is still there." Edmund's voice came with a bitter tone.
I seriously did not need this right now, why did he always have to be so negative.
"Ugh! Isn't time you went to bed?" Susan asked also slightly frustrated.
"Yes mum." Ed mocked glaring at her.
"Ed!" I snapped at him.
He glared at me before walking away.
"Don't worry Lu, you saw this place, it's huge, we can do whatever we want here." I said turning back to Lucy.
"Well I think it's time we all got ready for bed, goodnight Hannah." Susan said giving me a hug.
"Night Susan, goodnight Lucy." I said letting go of Susan, kissed Lucy on the cheek before leaving.
I was still frustrated from Edmund, ugh! Little brothers. Who does he think he is? I changed into my nightgown and brushed my teeth before going to bed. The next morning I woke up to a clap of lightning, which made me jump. I looked out the window and saw that it was pouring, lightning was striking one right after the other, and even the thunder was angry. I sighed knowing that we were going to be stuck inside. I looked at the little clock that was sitting on the small dresser, and saw that it was 6:30. I decided to get up, apart from my dad I was the early bird in the family, I always woke up between 6:30 and 7:00. I made the bed before heading into the bathroom. I changed into a gray knee length skirt, brown loafers, and a green plaid short sleeve shirt. I combed my hair and pulled it back into a french braid before brushing my teeth. I then made the bed before heading downstairs. I had a feeling that today was going to be a frustrating and interesting day.
