sorry it took me so long to update. stuff was starting to pile up and I had to check up on everything. i know not much has happened yet but it will be starting soon. i hope you enjoy the chapter!!

"Wow," I breathed out as my brain started to hurt due to the immense amount of information that I had just been graced with. Peter started filling me in on the siblings run in with the White Witch when the other three came out to the balcony to join us. For the past three hour I had heard every story of the adventures the Pevensie's had since their arrival. Each story was more fascinating than the next and I was hooked on their every word. I heard of the archery contests Susan had been in (she had won most of them), the sword fights the boy got in daily with each other (supposedly you can solve anything with a sword according to Peter), and all of Lucy's friends whether they be the beavers, fauns, or humans.

"Tell us about yourself, Lina," Lucy asked from her position by my feet. I smiled down at her and just shrugged my shoulders.

"Compared to your adventures, there really isn't anything special I could tell you about myself that would be remotely interesting,"

"Oh, please! It would be simply fascinating to know of the future!" She begged one more time. I looked to Susan who only gave me a small smile and a wink.

"Well, um, I live in an huge pent house apartment overlooking Central Park," I started, not knowing what else to say. Lucy nodded her head, pleading me to continue. I had no idea what to tell her to make my life sound remotely cool to the royals. "And... I don't know. When I say there is nothing interesting about me, I'm not just being modest. I had a really sheltered childhood. My parents were never around so my sorry excuse for a grandma 'took care' of me as she put it which was really just code for handing me money and telling me to leave her alone. I went to school and came home to a huge apartment with no one in it. That's basically my life story," I admitted. Lucy's face fell and Susan placed a friendly hand on my own.

"Our father went off to fight in the war," Lucy said shyly while changing the subject.

"What war?" I asked.

Edmund was the one to answer. "World War Two," It made sense to me then. Of course, World War Two. The Penvensies were from the forties and they were in the middle of a war in that time. It must have been horrible.

"What happened? With the war? How'd it end?" Edmund was the one to speak once again. I wasn't completely sure I could answer that question. I turned to Peter who sat on the balcony railing next to me. The king nodded his head to show I could continue.

"Well, I was never the greatest at history but the Allies won," All of the royals faces lit up at my words. I loved the feeling I got when delivering the good news to them.

Lucy yawned and leaned against my feet. She was getting tired with the late hour and started to drift to sleep. Susan, being the motherly figure she was, got up and roused her sister enough for her to walk.

"I'd better take her to bed," She bid us goodnight and left, she put her hands on her little sister's shoulders to lead her in the right direction. I smiled at the sight of the sibling love between the two girls, it was something I have never experienced. I turned and looked at the company I held. The two boys had got on the subject of the newest tournament that was to come to Narnia in a few weeks time. I listened quietly before I felt myself yawning as big as Lucy. Edmund noticed and stood up from the small stone bench he had been occupying.

"Miss. Lina, I will show you to your rooms now if you would like," I nodded my head sleepily. I pushed myself off from the railing and took hold of Edmund's outstretched arm. I turned to Peter who just looked on with an amused look on his face.

"Good night, King Peter. Thank you for finding me in the woods, without you I would have probably been eaten by a bear by now," I teased, the boys both laughed at me.

"I doubt they would have done that, My Lady, but you are welcome all the same," He took the hand that wasn't wrapped up in Edmund's arm and kissed it. My heart fluttered slightly at the touch of his lips to my skin.

"My King Edmund?" A centaur asked from the doors that led to the hall. We all turned to look at the half man half horse. "General Orius would like a word with you, My Lord,"

Edmund looked to me then to Peter. He pressed his lips together and returned his gaze to his subject. "Very well. Lina, if you don't mind waiting I will be able-"

"Oh that's perfectly alright, Ed," Peter cut him off. "I can take our guest to her room," Edmund nodded before releasing my arm.

"Goodnight, Miss. Lina," He said before following the centaur out. I gazed after him before getting sucked into Peter. He gazed at me with a grin across his mouth and offered me his arm like Edmund had done before him.

"Shall we?" He asked.

"Lead the way," I responded. Peter proceeded to lead me through a maze of long, dank corridors much like Susan had earlier. We took two flights of stairs and a left turn before he stopped in front of a large wooden door.

"Here we are, My Lady," He told me with a slight bow. I smiled at him.

"Thank you, King Peter," I said in return.

"Please, just Peter," He asked me with a slight twinkle in his bright blue eyes. For a moment I forgot how to breath. Peter was quite possibly the most handsome man I had ever seen in my life and it was making me nervous to be this close to him. Peter tilted his head to me and waited politely as if waiting for me to do something intelligent. My gosh, he probably thought I had a disorder or something for staring at him for so long.

Mentally slapping myself, I thought of something to say in return. "I'll tell ya what. I'll call you Peter if you call me Lina, just Lina," That was good enough, I thought. Peter smirked at me and nodded his head. He once again took my hand in his and placed a kissed on my knuckles. I was getting used to the touch of his lips to my hand, it was sort of comforting in a way. He dropped my hand down to my side but let his linger over it for a small second. I felt the blush rushing up in to my face and had to look a way for a minute to gather my thoughts. I was such a girl.

"Goodnight," He said quietly. I turned back to him and smiled like an idiot.

"Goodnight," I knew I would trip if I attempted to curtsy so I did nothing. The king started to walk away and I turned to open the door.

"Lina," My hand froze on the knob at the sound of Peter saying my name. I looked over at him.

"Would you mind if I came and escorted you to breakfast?" Was it me or was his tone hopeful? I was praying that he really wanted to do this.

One corner of my mouth pulled up into a smile. "I'd like that, I know there is no way I would be able to make it without a little help," This castle was crazy confusing to navigate through and I really did appreciate his offer. Peter's face lit up in the dim corridor and caused my half smile to turn to a full one. He looked even more handsome.

"See you in the morning then," He said before turning and disappearing out of sight. I took a deep breath and entered my room.

It was absolutely beautiful. There was a large king sized canopy bed placed in the center of a room with a comfy looking deep red comforter spread across it. I saw a roaring fire coming from the sort of sitting area near the far end of the room. Straight across from where I stood were two large doors that led out to a small balcony. I raced over to the glass doors and pushed them open, letting the crisp night air fill my lungs.

I went to the rail and leaned over. This balcony was higher than the one I had sat on earlier with the Pevensie's so the whole of Narnia could be seen more clearly. Never before had I seen such a lovely place as this strange and foreign country. Don't get me wrong, I loved New York with all of it's bright lights and people but Narnia had a sort of quiet about it that gave me peace. Something I had never received in New York.

I had only been here for less than a day but I already knew I loved Narnia. When I first arrived I thought that Narnia would be a horrible place and that I would miss NY terribly but now I think it is the complete opposite. New York was busy and filled with evil while Narnia was calm and good. I'd miss my clothes and my books back in New York but here... here there were actually people that at least acted as if they cared about me.

I liked the feeling the Pevensie's gave me. I felt welcome and wanted. It was a nice. And being around Peter isn't so bad. A voice in my mind teased me. I smiled at it.

Yeah, being around Peter was nice. But I couldn't imagine him liking me, liking me. Boys never liked me. Heck, I was lucky if one noticed me. So for one as handsome and nice as Peter to fall for me seemed like an impossible scenario. I shook the negative thoughts from my head and yawned. I went back into the room and pulled the covers back from the large, soft bed and plopped down. I didn't even bother to take the dress I was wearing off, I was too tired to even think anymore. I laid my head on the pillow and fell asleep instantly. My first day in Narnia was over and now all that was left to do was rest.

I know the chapter was kinda short but the next one will be longer and have more going on I promise.
