Heyyyyy im backkk with another chapter :) I feel like this chapter is short but oh well! ENJOY!
When I woke up, all I could see were the grey clouds twirling above me. It must have been a while since I fell asleep, because it felt forever. I got up and looked around to make sure I wasn't in some wacko place. Then again no matter what happens; I'm always in a wacko place.
"You're finally awake; I thought you were dead," Mrs. Beaver said while throwing some toast. I caught it with my mouth and proceeded to eat it. I stood up and saw everyone ready to go.
"How long was I asleep?" I asked. It felt like years!
"Two hours after sunrise," Mr. Beaver said. I have no idea what that even means. I'm not that bright.
"So where are we headed exactly?" asked Peter.
"Well to get to Aslan it's a long walk. We will have to cross the frozen river, then BAM we're there!" I could tell that Mr. Beaver was trying to enthusiastic about this trip, but even he knows that this was going to be tiresome.
The Beavers guided us on where to go and I looked to the side of me to get a good view of the frozen river. That thing was frozen alright! And I thought this was worse. As they were walking, I saw Peter in the back all quiet. I thought it would be nice to cheer him up, so I threw a snowball at him.
"What in the name- why did you just throw a snowball at me?" Lucy started to laugh and joined in.
"I think it was about time someone gave you a perk!" Lucy just sighed and turned back around. I was there with Peter glaring at me. It was so worth it! We continued walking like no other day. My feet were getting tired and I think there frozen. I have no idea how long we have been walking, but I think we need a break.
"Mr. Beaver, can we rest for a while?" I asked him. He nodded and we all sat. Everyone looked relieved. They started to pass around some food and water, but then we started to hear a rumbling sound. It was more like a sled being pushed across the snow. Everyone stood frozen and wide eyed. Mr. Beaver told us to follow him, and he took us into a little cave underground.
We all sat there holding our breath in silence. Lucy and Susan were in the back of the cave holding each other, and Peter and I were in front of them to make sure no harm comes. Mr. Beaver gave us a gesture saying he will be right back. He slowly walked out into the snow and then it felt like forever waiting for him to come back. He then popped his head on top of the cave and told us to come out.
"I would like you guys to meet someone!" Mr. Beaver jumped in excitement. Lucy's smile grew across her face.
"It's Father Christmas!" she went up to him and gave him a big hug.
"Why yes I am," he said. "I am just on my way to give out presents before the snow melts!"
"It's been nearly 100 years since we last saw you!" said the beavers.
"Yes, but now I'm back and have a short schedule." He quickly replied. "I've also brought presents for you!" Lucy jumped with joy. I remember when I was her age, those were the days.
"Lucy, I have brought you a dagger." He handed her the dagger and she looked at it very carefully. He also gave her a vial with red liquid inside it.
"Use this potion wisely. One drop can save a life." She nodded and he turned to Susan.
"Here is a bow and arrow for the lovely Susan, and also this horn. Only use the horn when you are in great danger!" He gave her the bow and arrow and put the horn around her neck. And finally it was Peter's turn.
"Use this sword wisely, child. In time, you will be the greatest ever." As he said that Peter flinched.
He was not used to being in the spotlight, and I felt bad for him. He has this war going around him, and he must stop it. The old man came to me and handed me a key.
"I think you know what this is." I shook my head. What was this key for?
"Well," he began. "I must be going! I don't have much time before the snow melts!"
He took off leaving us here in shock. I held the key in my hand not knowing what to do with it. I flipped it over and saw a symbol that looked really familiar. I tried to remember where I saw it, but it never came.
"Alright then, break time is over. Let's go!" Mr. Beaver pushed us and we followed the path to Aslan. Maybe he could tell what this key is for.
