*Autumn's POV*
*Later that day*
Lucy was silent when we went to bed. Edmund was still a bit up tight about earlier. The lights turned off but I couldn't go to sleep. The flashback I had earlier was still in my mind.
*A little later*
I heard boot moving. Lucy was getting out of bed and slipping into her boots. "Are you going back?". She nodded. "Could I come with you?". She smiled. I got out of bed carefully and slipped on boots as well. We made our way to the spare room but I had the feeling we were being followed. We stepped into the wardrobe. My eyes widened. We were in a huge forest. Snow was falling and a lamp post was shining in the snow. "I'm so glad you came" Lucy squealed. "You can meet Mr. Tumnus!". She pulled me through the woods until we reached a small cottage looking place. She knocked on the door. A faun opened the door (I read mythical books). "Lucy!" he said giving her a hug. "And who is this?". "Oh. This is Autumn Phoenix but you can call her Autumn". "Um Autumn this is Mr. Tumnus" Lucy introduced. He shook my hand in a strange fashion. But I did notice his eyes widening as Lucy said my name.
*Later inside*
"The White Witch doesn't know about you luckily" Tumnus said handing us both a cup of tea. He sat down. His eyes still glued on me. "If you don't mind me asking, what were your parents names?" Tumnus asked me. "My father's name is Michael. He was an orphan so no one knew his last name. My mother's name is Lillian. After they got married, they used my mother's last name". "It can't be!" he said. I looked at him confused. "You're part of the Ice and Fire prophecy!". Lucy and I gave him a confused look. "Maybe it would help you if I read it out loud" he said noticing our faces. "It goes something like this"
A daughter of Eve
Shall stop the reign of winter
And help the kings and queens
A protector of our land she is
A half blood
Part human like our kings and queens
And part majestic phoenix
Her name is in fact her past
Ice melts at her single touch
Her eyes will glimmer like golden fire
Fire is in her soul
"There is more to this but I can't seem to remember it" Tumnus finished. Lucy's mouth was open. "So I am part phoenix?". "Yes. I believe so but you may want to ask Aslan" Tumnus replied. "I do know of another story that may relate to your past". I nodded for him to continue. "Story goes that a 100 years ago. A young woman meet a phoenix. She befriended it. It was tamed by her. One day she wished to be a phoenix. To fly with it and be one of its kind. The great Aslan granted her wish. Now she could transform into a phoenix and turn back into a human. The two birds fell in love. After 3 years, she found that she was with child so she returned to human form. After the child was born, the White Witch started her reign. Aslan wanted the her child to escape to another world. She obeyed and allowed another family from another world to raise her , but some say she's still in Narnia today". He finished. I was shocked but also confused. Was it possible that this prophecy referred to me? Lucy looked stunned. "It's getting late. Maybe you should both return to spare om". Lucy and I both got up. Tumnus lead us to the door and we thanked him for the visit.
*A little later at the lamp post*
When we got to the lamp post, I saw someone I would least expect. Edmund. Lucy ran up to hug him. I heard them talking about "What are you doing here?" but I didn't listen. Was someone in my family really part phoenix? Was that baby I saw in my vision someone I knew? Was I a protector of Narnia? I was snapped back to earth when I saw Lucy and Edmund head for the wardrobe. I followed.
*A few minutes later in our bedroom*
"Peter wake up! I went back to Narnia and this time Edmund and Autumn went too" Lucy squealed jumping on Peter. Peter turned towards Edmund. "You saw the faun?". "I was just playing along. Sorry Pete. I shouldn't have encouraged her. You know how little kids little children don't know when to stop pretending" Edmund said smugly. Lucy ran out crying and Susan and Peter went after her after Peter shoved Edmund into his head. "Ow!". I rolled my eyes. My temper flared. How could Edmund? I turned towards him. He looked at me with a cold stare but it softened and he looked guilty. I left the room quickly to join Lucy ,who was drinking hot chocolate in the kitchen. Mrs. Macready offered me a cup and I took it. Dried tears stained Lucy's face and I put my arm around her to make her feel better. "Why didn't they believe me?" she whimpered. I shrugged. I hated seeing Lucy like this. The first time I met her; she was also so nice. Way to go Ed.
