Chapter Six: Laughter and Gloom

Adventuria's POV

The Pevensies and I were now seated in front of a small magical fire and Mrs Beaver was tending to the Fox's wounds.

"So...favourite colour?" I asked looking meaningfully at them.

"Red." Peter said.

"I like green." replied Susan.

"Pink!"

"So what about you, Adventuria? What's your favourite colour?"

I smiled. "It really depends. Clothes...midnight blue. Items...royal purple...or violet."

"Violet like your eyes?" Peter asked, with his eyebrows raised. I nodded.

"Favourite animal?" I asked.

"I like..." started Lucy.

"Everything." finished her older brother.

Lucy shrugged. "Pretty much."

I couldn't help chuckling. This girl liked everyone and everything...and everyone liked her...almost.

"I rather like horses. But I haven't ridden one before." said Peter.

"We'll you'll learn to ride soon. How can a Narnian king not know how ride a horse?"

"Do you know how to ride a horse, Adventuria?" Susan seemed intrigued by the topic.

"Yes. There was a Talking horse, Crystal that I use to ride. She's a friend of the Beavers but I told her to go to the Stone Table with the others."

"So what's your answer, Susan?" I waited patiently.

"I think cats are adorable. You know-"

I couldn't hold it. I started laughing and everyone looked at me, bewildered. After I managed to control my laugter, I put my hand next to my mouth so the dark-haired Pevensie couldn't see what was about to say.

"Aslan." I mouthed. Aslan was a lion, and lions were also known as 'big cats'. Ha ha.

Peter gave out a few loud laughs and Lucy started to giggle.

"What?" a bemused Susan asked.

"A-As-Aslan! You think Aslan is adorable!" gasped Peter.

Susan started to laugh along and I felt...good. I had friends. Actual friends!

"Your turn, Adventuria." Susan said smiling, revealing pearly white teeth.

"Snow leopards. They're just so-"

"Mysterious, like you." finished Peter.

I scowled at him, "Will you stop butting in?"

Peter raised his hands in surrender, "Sorry!"

The conversation continued, until Mrs. Beaver told us to stop and go to sleep.

"I'll be a long day tomorrow. We've go to go at the crack of dawn if we want to keep ahead of the White Witch."

I closed my eyes.

Jadis, Jadis, Jadis I chanted in my head. The image of the White Witch formed in my mind.

"What do you mean you can't find them!" she yelled at Maugrim.

"I'm sorry your Majesty, we've lost trace. We believe that Fox told us a lie."

"Go! Find them!"

"Your Majesty, my pack is tired. They can barely walk."

Jadis bared her teeth. "You must go tomorrow morning, I will go with you. Now get out of my sight before I turn you into part my collection!"

I opened my eyes again and saw everyone was staring at me. "Well, what did you see?" Mr Beaver asked impatiently.

"You'll have to go earlier than the crack of dawn. Jadis is going told the wolves to go find you and she's going with them. You need to get a head start. I need to go..."

"What? You're leaving us again? Why?" Susan and Lucy bombarded me with the same questions.

"Just let me go." I whispered and started to walk away.

"Adventuria, what happens if the White Witch kills you?" I froze and turned back looking at the young, golden haired girl who had said it.

"Me? Oh...nothing really. There's nobody waiting for me back on Earth and if I die I'll see my parents again."

"No, but what about us?"

"That's something I can't answer."

I suddenly felt rather gloomy and I shape shifted into a raven and took off, not bothering to look back.

After a few moments, I thought to myself Look what you've done now! You've probably wrecked the best friendship you ever had just because you're so moody and temperamental!

Huh. Temperamental. Hadn't I used that when I thought of Edmund? Guess we probably were more similar than we first thought.

Today's a bit shorter. Sorry. I'm really busy with my homework and I'm actually not suppose to be on at the moment...
