Chapter 2
The next day Lucy went to upstairs to Amy's room. Amy sat at her desk sketching a new drawing her hair pulled back away from her face. "Morning Amy." At the sound of Lucy's voice she turned and smiled at her. "Good morning to you Lucy. I hope your brother Edmund didn't get into too much trouble, I know that he meant no harm by the question." "No, a few glares from Peter and the professor maybe but no. What are you working on?" Lucy asked admiring the sketch Amy was making, no colour had been added yet but the detail was very precise. "It's a Castle, big and beautiful beside an ocean full of creatures like Mermaids and such. I have one that I drew yesterday before bed of the throne room would you like to see it?" Lucy nodded and watched as Amy took a rather big folder and looked for the drawing she wanted. "Ah, here it is." She said pulling out the desired drawing and showing it to Lucy.
Upon seeing the picture Lucy's eyes widened. "Four thrones?" she asked Amy nodded. "Yes, strange isn't it, but like I said I see these places in my dreams, especially this castle and throne room I don't know there's just something about it." Amy eyes seemed to glaze over as she said this and lines of the drawing in her hands seemed to fade. She saw a young woman walking up to the throne wearing a dress of royal blue her hair loose and flowing. Upon reaching the throne another woman stood to greet her as she bent to receive a gold crown, and turned to……to a man with no face, at least she couldn't make out his face only that the woman turned to him and smiled taking a seat beside him. She then turned still smiling to whoever else was in the room, she was so happy. Then…… the vision disappeared and all that remained was the drawing, and Lucy calling to her.
"Amy! Are you alright?" "Hmm, oh fine, sorry about that." Lucy nodded her eyes going back to the picture of the castle. There was no doubt about it, it was her home Cair Paravel. She couldn't believe that she did not recognize it. "Lucy, this castle deserves a name but I can't seem to think of one, do you know any that might suit it." Lucy nodded a smile creeping upon her face. "How about Cair Paravel." Amy nodded. "Perfect, it seems to fit perfectly thank you." Lucy nodded and for the rest of the morning she looked at Amy's drawings and helped Amy with the naming of the creatures and colouring of the drawings. Lucy found that many of the places that Amy drew Lucy did not recognise but many others left no doubt that Amy was drawing Narnia, or at least places and creatures in Narnia.
Before long they were called down to lunch. Lucy getting up had an idea if Amy would show her siblings her drawings she was sure they would recognise more of the places. "Amy why don't you show your drawings to my family I'm sure they would love to see them." At this Amy put her pencil down. "Lucy I don't think so, please don't talk about them to anyone, if anyone were to see them they would think me mad. Drawing pictures of places from my dreams that seem real, no. Besides they're of no importance come lets go down to eat." Lucy nodded in understanding, she knew her siblings would not find her mad nor the professor but it was best not to press Amy, Maybe she could get Peter to see them somehow.
Down at lunch Peter, Susan, and Edmund were waiting for Lucy, wanting to know how she spent her morning with the professor's niece. When she finally arrived they were surprised to see Amy with her. "Afternoon, Peter, Susan, and Edmund I apologize for yesterday it was rude of me to leave so suddenly. You did nothing wrong Edmund, it would just be best to lay the past to rest, now what is for lunch." With that not only was a silent agreement made to not mention the past, until Amy was ready to answer Edmund's question, a new friendship was formed between the five of them.
Hmm I think I'll let your mind's wander considering Amy's connection to Narnia. Don't worry all will be revealed in time. Also in the next 2-3 chapters time will pass relatively quickly so please bear with me. Again be kind I have not read the books.
