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.
Wow! I didn't realize that Lucy could talk so much. She was going on and on about Mr. Tumnus.
"-We'll have lots and lots of-" Lucy stopped talking.
I tried to look at her face, but I couldn't because she was in front of me. Then without warning, she ran.
"Lucy!" I cried, afraid.
I mean something bad must've happened for her to respond like that, she never ran off without telling anybody where, even if it was to a friends house that was across the street. So her reaction worried me. We ran after her. We followed her inside of a small obscured house, because of the snow, and unless you were looking you wouldn't have been able to tell that there was a house there, or a door for that matter. It was a simple home, but something had happened. I mean the place was completely ruined. Glass covered the floor, the table that supposedly sat in front of the fire was turned over so was the chairs, in the corner the bookshelf had crashed, and books littered the floor. We carefully walked around.
"Who could do something like this?" Lucy asked no one in particular as she looked around the damaged room.
I felt worry, but I didn't let my family see it, I couldn't, not when they needed me to be brave. Heck even Edmund looked slightly concerned and worried. Suddenly I saw, what looked like an old scroll, attached to the wall by a nail. Everyone looked at me and gathered around. I took the letter and read aloud.
"'The faun Tumnus is hereby charged with high treason against her imperial majesty, Jadis, Queen of Narnia, for comforting her enemies, and fraternizing with humans. Signed Maugrim, Captain of the Secret Police. Long live the queen.'"
"Ok, now we really must go back." Susan said.
I wasn't angry at her for making the suggestion, even though it bothered me, because I could tell that she was scared, and I was feeling the same thing. But then again I was thinking about the safety of my family, not just myself.
"But what about Mr. Tumnus?" Lucy asked.
I wanted to help the faun, I really did, but what could we do? We were only kids.
"Lucy I don't think we can do anything, he was arrested just for talking to a human." I said hating to tell her this.
"You don't understand do you? I'm the human, she must've found out he helped me." Lucy said looking upset.
I finally gave in, I had to do something to help this faun, he already did so much for Lucy just by being her friend.
"Well maybe we can call the police?" Susan suggested.
"This are the police." I shot back at her.
"Don't worry Lu, we'll think of something."
"Why? I mean, he's a criminal." Edmund said making us stare at him.
There was a faint noise from outside and we looked out the door, on the branch just outside was a red cardinal bird, but I swear I just heard it speak. Animals weren't supposed to talk.
"Psst!" it whispered.
"Did that bird, just 'psst' at us?" Susan asked in disbelieve.
We all walked outside. Suddenly there was a rustle from the bushes and it was moving fast. I then felt two bodies press up against me, each gripping some of my coat, and I knew it was Susan and Lucy. While still facing forward I wrapped my hands behind me, grabbing my sister's waist, defending them. Just then the creature came out of the bush. It was a beaver! We all sighed and suddenly felt silly. I don't know what made me do it, but I knelt down in the snow and held my hand out, I guess I wanted to see if it was a talking animal. The beaver just looked at me and then my hand.
"Well I ain't gonna smell it, if that's what you want." the beaver said in a loud male voice.
Lucy and Susan giggled as I stood up and withdrew my hand saying, "Oh, sorry."
"Lucy Pevensie?" the beaver asked my sister.
Lucy's eyes widened as the beaver pulled out a small handkerchief.
"Hey that's the hanky I gave to Mr-"
"Tumnus. He got it to me just before they took him." the beaver said as Lucy took the handkerchief back and put it in her coat pocket.
"Is he alright?" Lucy asked.
"Further in." the beaver said motioning for us to follow him.
Lucy and I started following him when Susan grabbed onto my arm and gripped it.
"What are you doing?" she hissed.
I looked at her and said, "He said he knows the faun."
"He's a beaver, he shouldn't be saying anything." Susan said glaring at me.
"Is everything alright?" the beaver asked stopping to looking back at us, wondering why we've stopped.
"Yes, we were just talking." I said glaring at Susan who let go of my arm.
"Best save that for indoors, you don't know who could be listening." beaver said before leaving again.
I was confused and was about to ask what he meant when Lucy answered, "He means the trees."
At this moment, I don't think anything can surprise me anymore, I just entered a magical land that was in the back of a wardrobe, and just met a talking beaver. Who knows what else is here, or can talk for that matter.
We followed the beaver for a bit before he came to a stop on a hill. Down below was a nice and well sized beaver home, it almost looked like a real human house but made out of sticks. There was even smoke rising from a small chimney.
"Well there it is! My nice and comfortable home!" the beaver announced spreading his arms wide.
"It's lovely." Lucy said smiling.
"Ah you ain't seen nothin' yet, this is merely a trifle, still needs some repairing, and it looks like my wife has the kettle on." the beaver said with a smile.
We followed him down and to the small home. I saw another beaver come out.
"Beaver! Is that you? I've been worried sick! If I find that you've been out with Badger again-" the beaver said, she was clearly a female.
She stopped speaking when she saw us. She gasped covering her mouth before walking up to us.
"Oh, those aren't badgers. Why I never thought I'd live to see this day! Look at my fur, you couldn't have given me ten minuets warning." Mrs. Beaver asked glaring at her husband.
"I would've given you a week if I thought it'd help." Mr. Beaver said chuckling, making Lucy giggle.
"Well come inside, and we'll give you more civilized company." Mrs. Beaver said making Mr. Beaver laugh nervously.
We all had to crawl through the small door, but stood once we were inside, I thought I was going to bump my head on the ceiling, but it was taller then it looked. We all took our coats off and sat on the small stools while Edmund stood. Mr. Beaver sat down with a small mug, and I didn't even want to know what was in it. After we introduced ourselves Mrs. Beaver went into the kitchen to finish cooking
"Isn't there anything we can do to help Mr. Tumnus?" I asked remembering the whole reason we followed him.
"He would've been taken to the witches house." he said sadly.
"Fish and chips?" Mrs. Beaver asked coming into the room, carrying a plate with fish and what looked like sticks.
I saw Lucy's face pale, she hated fish, unless it was shrimp, she could shrimp just fine, it was any other type of fish that she couldn't handle.
"But there's hope dear, lots of hope." Mrs. Beaver said.
"Yeah there's a quite bit more then hope, Aslan is on the move." Mr. Beaver said in a low voice.
I don't know why, but that name brought a type of strength and warmth to my heart. I could tell the others felt it too.
"Who's Aslan?" Edmund asked, asking the question I'm sure everyone was asking.
"Who's Aslan! You cheeky little blighter!" Mr. Beaver said laughing, as if we were teasing him.
Suddenly Mrs. Beaver nudged him, making him be quiet and she pointed to us, realizing that we weren't joking, and we had no clue who Aslan was.
"You don't know do ya?" Mr. Beaver asked.
"Well we haven't exactly been here for very long!" I snapped defending my brother.
"He's only the great king of the woods. The top geezer." Mr. Beaver said.
"He's been away for a long while and-" Mrs. Beaver started.
"And he's just got back! And he's waiting for you at the Stone Table!" Mr. Beaver said.
"He's waiting for us?" Lucy asked.
"You're bloomin' jokin'! They don't even know about the prophecy!" Mr. Beaver exclaimed to his wife.
"Well then." Mrs. Beaver said calmly motioning to us.
"Look, there's a prophecy-
When Adams flesh and bone
Sits on the top of Cair Paravel throne
The evil will be over and done"
"You know that doesn't really rhyme." Susan said making me roll my eyes.
"Look I know it don't, but you're kinda missin' the point!" Mr. Beaver exclaimed.
"It has long been foretold that one son of Adam and three daughters of Eve will defeat the White Witch, and restore peace to Narnia." Mrs. Beaver said.
"And you think we're the one's?" I asked them.
"Well you better be because Aslan's already fitted out your army!" Mr. Beaver exclaimed.
"Our army?" Lucy asked.
I felt dread fill me, I didn't want my siblings caught up in a war. I mean, what if something happened to them, especially Edmund and Lucy, they still have their whole life ahead of them.
"Mum sent us away so we wouldn't get caught up in a war." Susan said to me.
"I think you made a mistake, we're not heroes." I said trying to get out of fighting.
"We're from Finchley. Thank you for your hospitality, but we really have to go." Susan said standing, trying her hardest not to sound rude.
"But you can't just leave!" Mr. Beaver exclaimed.
"He's right. Hannah we have to help Mr. Tumnus." Lucy said pleading.
"I'm sorry Lu, come on Ed." I said, but I received no response.
I looked around the small house.
"Ed! I'm gonna kill em'." I said pissed at my little brother.
I mean who knows what's in this strange land. I couldn't protect him when I didn't know where he was.
"You might not ave' to. Has Edmund ever been to Narnia before?"
