A/N: Hey, my loyal one or two readers, if anyone has read this at all. Sorry that it's been a bit of a mess, I'm an absolutely terrible author, as you can tell by this description and the two chapters I have posted. My goal was to publish/post at least one chapter per week, but unfortunately, I greatly overestimated the amount of free time I would have during the year. I have about… none. So, sorry to those who don't like authors posting their entire story instead of one chapter at a time. :(

* Anyways, with my magic of terrible speed writing (probably normal pace or slower for everyone else) I just about doubled the word count in this second chapter, not including my long and tedious explanation. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 2

Word Count: 2,841

The five Pevensie siblings woke up early, too excited from being in a new environment to sleep in. Currently, they were relaxing in the sitting room nearest to their bedrooms: Susan pacing in thought, Peter sitting on the tabletop, Lucy in the window alcove, Luna and Edmund sharing the couch. The were playing a vocabulary game, trying to guess the definition of different words, one of Susan's ideas to "get their brains exercised".

"Gastrovascular." Susan paced in front of Peter.

"Hmm..sounds Latin…" Peter was deep in thought. Susan clapped suddenly.

"It is Latin!" She exclaimed giddily.

M m"Is it Latin for worst game ever invented?" Edmund grumbled. Luna smacked him playfully.

"Ed, Susan likes these types of games! Just 'cuz you don't doesn't mean no one else enjoys them." She whispered with a grin.

"I want to play hide-and-seek!" Lucy piped up from her position near the door.

"What, and put an end to all the fun we're having?" Peter teased jokingly. Even Susan couldn't help but laugh at his sarcasm. Lucy didn't seem understand.

"Please Pete! Pretty please!" Peter covered his eyes and turned his back to the door.

"I'm counting to one hundred. One...twoooo...threeee…" He droned. Lucy giggled and headed towards the doorway. Edmund pushed past his little sister, Luna apologizing for her twin. Susan ran to hide in her bedroom, the twins dashing towards the library, none of them watching as Lucy entered an empty room with only a wooden wardrobe. Lucy ran into the room at the end of the hallway, quietly closing the door behind her. Sunlight streamed in through a small window, lighting up the lone wardrobe. Designs were carved into the dark wood. Lucy walked cautiously towards the large piece of furniture, tracing the carvings with her fingertips. She opened the doors to the wardrobe, which was hard since it was nearly twice her size. She stepped into the wardrobe, closing the doors behind her.

"This is the perfect spot! Peter will never find me in here!" She reached through the fur coats, confused when she didn't feel the wooden back of the wardrobe. "Huh? Why's it so cold?" She walked further in the wardrobe, feeling something crunching beneath her feet. She looked down at her feet, expecting to find mothballs, but instead discovering a powdery white substance. Curiously she bent down to pick some of it, only to have the substance melt in her hand. Lucy shook the cold water off her hand and gasped. It was snow. What was snow doing in a wardrobe? Lucy was even more puzzled when she looked up to see a pine forest blanketed in snow. Further away she spied an old-fashioned lamp post. She walked towards it, paying no attention to the figure appearing from behind the large trees.

Suddenly Lucy felt something soft and warm, like a sheep. She shrieked in surprise and whirled around as the thing behind her screamed. First she saw a man, shirtless, with a crimson scarf around his neck. The next thing she noticed were two little horns peeking out from underneath his curly hair. Then she saw his legs. He had furry brown legs...with hooves.

"Um...what exactly..are you, if you don't mind me asking of course!" Lucy asked the strange creature nervously. The man chuckled in response.

"My name is Tumnus and I am a faun. Half goat, half human." Lucy's eyes widened at his answer, causing him to chuckle once again. "Since you look like you've never seen a Narnian before, I can assume you aren't from here. You must be...a daughter of Eve?"

"Um...I'm a human girl, if that's what you mean…" Lucy answered timidly.

"Wow, I've never met a daughter of Eve before!" Tumnus said excitedly. He held out his hand for Lucy to shake. "Nice to make your acquaintance young daughter of Eve."

"Likewise." Lucy giggled. "My name is Lucy Pevensie."

"So, have you been to Narnia before?"

"Narnia?" Lucy furrowed her brow. "What's that?"

"Why, my dear child, this is Narnia! You're in Narnia right now!" Tumnus laughed.

"Oh...I thought I was in the wardrobe-"

"Wardrobe you say?" Tumnus raised a furry eyebrow. "Is that a far off land?" Lucy laughed at his confusion.

"You could say that." Tumnus examined Lucy's foreign clothing and features.

"I would love to learn more about you and this...Land of Wardrobe, would you like to come in for tea?" He gestured towards a small cabin with a red roof almost completely covered in snow.

"Oh! Well, I would love to...but I'm sure my family's getting worried about me right now…"

"Oh, oh, please? I've never made friends with a daughter of Eve or son of Adam! And I can put on the fire. I just made some cakes, I also have some sardines…"

"Well...okay, but only for a little while. I don't want to worry my brothers and sisters too much." Lucy replied begrudgingly. She couldn't say no to the sweet little man. Or...sweet little faun. She followed Tumnus into his small house, breathing in the sweet scent that traveled through the small place. She spied a picture on the mantle as she walked by the fireplace.

"Hold on, is that you?" Lucy pointed to the faun bore an obvious resemblance to Tumnus. He gave a small smile.

"No, that is-well, was, my father." Lucy's eyes glazed over with tears. "I'm sorry, I know how that feels. I just lost my father to the war." Tumnus took her small hand in his slightly larger ones. "My father was in a war too, but that was long before this dreadful eternal winter."

"I love winter! I wish it was snowing back in England! Just like a white Christmas!" Lucy squealed. Tumnus frowned.

"We haven't had Christmas in about a hundred years. I've never had a proper Christmas." Lucy formed an 'o' with her mouth in shock.

"You've never celebrated Christmas with your family? Never sat by the fire with eggnog? Never exchanged presents? Never received gifts from Santa Claus?" Tumnus shook his head, but a smile appeared on his scruffy face.

"It was absolutely beautiful in springtime though! The beautiful butterflies, flowers and bloom, and the music, oh the music!" Tumnus pulled out a set of panpipes and began to play a calming tune. Lucy smiled, her eyes crinkling as she listened to the beautiful notes.

"Well, that's just lovely." She whispered. After a few minutes Lucy was jolted back to the present with the realization of how long she'd been in Narnia. "Oh! I really lost track of time! I must be going now!" Tumnus coughed and turned away, staring down sheepishly at his hooves.

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid it's too late for that."

"What do you mean?" Lucy cried out. "What have you done?"

"It's not what I've done, Lucy Pevensie. It's what I'm about to do."

"And what is that?"

"I'm going to kidnap you." Tumnus sighed in defeat. "You see, the White Witch caused this eternal winter, the death of Christmas. She has ordered me to bring any son of Adam or daughter of Eve straight to her."

"But Mr. Tumnus, we're friends right?" She asked. Tumnus nodded solemnly. "And friends don't kidnap each other." She gave a low sigh again.

"I suppose that's true Miss Lucy Pevensie. Now, let's get you out of here before the White Witch discovers a daughter of Eve was come to Narnia." Tumnus hurriedly pushed Lucy towards the lamp post. "Go, now!" He whispered, closing the door and leaving Lucy to turn and run back through the wardrobe.

Luna felt a shiver go down her spine as she sat with Edmund, her back against the tall bookshelves. This didn't go unnoticed by Edmund.

"What's wrong Luna?" Luna shivered again, her kitten brushing her nose against Luna's cheek.

"It's Lucy." Her eyes were closed. Blurry images swept across her closed eyelids.

"What do you mean Luna? Are you having another...episode?" His voice lowered when he said the last word. That's what he called Luna's moments. She would see images of things that were yet to happen, vague, but still accurate.

Flashback - 2 months ago: It was cold out; a blizzard had swept through London, trapping everyone in their homes. Lucy wiped condensation from the inside of the window, cupping her hands around her eyes like binoculars against the glass to peek at the storm outside.

"I hope everyone's okay." She said to her siblings. Lucy had always been quite selfless and sensitive to others. Susan smiled and hugged her little sister from behind.

"I'm sure everyone is at home warming up by the fire with their family." She turned Lucy around from the window to face Peter, Luna, and Edmund, all sitting by the fire and sipping hot cocoa from worn mugs. Lucy giggled in reply.

"I looove winter!" She squealed as she pounced on Luna lightly, who pretended to spill her cocoa in response.

"Lucy, be careful, I could have spilled it and then…" She stuck out her bottom lip, her eyes sparkling, "No more cocoa for me!" Her siblings laughed at her childish imitation.

"But really, we are quite lucky to have each other." Peter smiled graciously at his siblings. "Not everyone gets to be with their families like we do."

"Not all of our family." Edmund grumbled into his cocoa. Luna draped her arm over her twin brother's shoulder in empathy.

"Well, at least we still have each other, right?" She replied softly. Edmund gave her a strange look as she shivered abruptly.

"You alright?" He furrowed his brow in confusion. Luna nodded and he let her be. When Susan, Peter, and Lucy got up to get cookies, more cocoa, and games though, he brought it back up.

"Now, what's really wrong? I know you aren't cold; you're sitting by the fire and you've gone out in the snow in less." Luna sighed. Edmund could always tell when there was something wrong with her, and vice versa. They practically read each other's' thoughts, they were so in sync. They liked to call it their 'twin sense'.

"What if Lu was right, what if there is someone stuck out there?" She stared out the window at the constant flurry of snow in the dark night sky. Edmund raised an eyebrow skeptically.

"Who would be stupid enough to stay outside in this weather?"

"I don't know, but I feel like someone, or something is out there." The twins were interrupted by a crash in the kitchen. "

Peter!" They could hear Susan yelling at their brother and Lucy laughing in the background. Edmund sighed.

"I guess I'll go help them. You gonna stay here?" Luna nodded in response, resting her head on her knees. Edmund felt a twinge of guilt. "I'll be right back, okay?" He just got another nod for a reply. He ran into the kitchen, a pair of cornflower blue eyes watching carefully. Once she was sure he was occupied, Luna ran out the door, shutting the door behind her as quietly as she could. She ran silently through the white tempest, her bare feet padding lightly leaving near to nothing behind in the thick snow. She knew she had to move fast if she wanted to get back before the others noticed her strange disappearance, especially after the discussion she had with Edmund.

Luna followed an invisible path through the storm, her body heating up as she neared her destination. She didn't know exactly where she was heading, but her intuition told her that she would know once she got there. She felt a blast of heat as she passed an alley, slowly cooling as she got farther away from it. Luna instantly backpedaled, stopping to peer in the dark alley. A lamp post flickered nearby, providing enough light to wash the alley in a soft glow. Luna could glimpse a pair of eyes glowing from behind the dumpster. She wasn't sure what was hiding from her, but she could feel it's fear.

"It's okay, I'm not going to hurt you, I just want to help you get out of the cold." She whispered towards the shadowed being, her words forming clouds of carbon dioxide as they left her mouth. She watched as the eyes increasingly grew larger, the creature was moving closer to her. Luna bravely laid her hand out in the snow in front of her, a signal of submission and peace.

She closed her eyes as her heart rate sped up, her breath hitching when she felt a soft sensation rubbing against her hand. Slowly she opened her eyes to see a ball of fur as black as the night sky. The creature looked up, and revealed its identity; a black kitten with the most beautiful eyes Luna had ever seen. The tiny feline possessed one eye as dark blue as midnight while the left was gold. The animal was small enough to fit snugly in both Luna's hands, and she pulled the shivering kitten closer to her body in hopes of warming it up with her body heat. She held the kitten tightly and gently at the same time as she raced back home. She slammed the door behind her just as her siblings were settling back down in front of the fire. Her hair was damp and sprinkled with melting snowflakes, her cheeks and nose flushed with pink when they all turned toward her.

"Luna! Where were you?" Peter exclaimed.

"Obviously she was outside in the snow, can't you see how cold she is?" Susan lightly swatted her older sibling. Luna could feel herself shaking, but she didn't feel cold at all. In fact, she felt like she had just visited a sauna, her face was flushed with heat. She could feel the adrenaline pumping through her from her small taste of excitement. She didn't argue as Edmund wrapped his blanket around her even though she wanted to tell her family that she was just fine.

"What were you doing out there?" Edmund whispered, a concerned look passing across his normal scowl. Luna didn't even need to answer her twin brother's question, for the kitten had chosen that moment to make its appearance, poking a tiny head over her blanket, eliciting a small mewl.

"Aww!" Lucy squealed in delight, rushing to her sister's side to meet the new member of the family. Edmund looked the most shocked,

"Why is there- what I mean is- well- why - a CAT?!" Luna giggled as her brother stumbled over his words.

"Yes Ed, a cat. A kitten in fact. She can't be more than a few months old at her size."

"She?"

"Yes, she is a girl."

"Are you sure?" At this comment, Luna gave her twin a pointed look, his cheeks flooding with color as he realized what his sister meant. "Oh…"

"Well, at least we won't have to worry about any mice!" Susan chuckled, trying to use humor to conceal her fear of rodents. Everyone laughed in reply to the eldest sister. Peter reached out to pet the animal gently between its pointed ears.

"What's her name?"

"How about Lily?" Lucy suggested.

"Shadow?" Edmund shouted out.

"Ooh, how about Comet?" Peter offered.

"Maybe Nina?" Susan answered.

"Guys, I already know her name." Luna stroked her new companion. Her siblings gave her an odd look. "I think Stellaluna suits her." She whispered. "Her eyes are two different colors; gold and dark blue, almost like day and night, or the moon and stars. Stella means star and Luna means moon, so it's perfect." As if in reply, Stellaluna rubbed her face against Luna's cheek, releasing a soft purr. "Yep, Stellaluna it is."

End of Flashback

Luna nodded in response.

"I see the colors red and white, and it feels cold...there's a light trying to touch the sky, and a melody, and I can smell something. There's an aroma of...sweets...a goat…" Luna's eyes shot open and she ran out of the library, dragging Edmund along with her. She swung the door to the spare room open just as Lucy was exiting the wardrobe.

"98, 99, 100...Ready or not, here I come!" From the spare room the three siblings could hear their eldest brother counting. Lucy had not yet seen the twins, and she yelled out.

"I'm back, I'm back, it's alright!"

"You know, I'm not sure if you have gotten the idea of this game!" Peter yelled back to Lucy.

"But...weren't you wondering where I've been?" Lucy called back, still staring at the wardrobe, still not noticing the twins.

"That's the point, that's why he was seeking you!" Edmund scoffed. Lucy spun around to see the twins standing in the open doorway of the spare room. "Ed, Lu? How'd you know I was in here?" Luna and Edmund looked at each other before turning back to their sister and the strange wardrobe. Edmund started to speak.

"Well, you see…"

"It's a long story." Luna said, her blue eyes flashing aquamarine in the sunlight.

Thanks for reading! I'd really appreciate it if you reviewed what I've written so far, and I'll try to write one or two more chapters within the end of this week and next! 3 ;P
