Peter's POV

We sent out messengers that told that anyone who wished to live in Narnia and would follow the new rules could do so, but anyone who did not, Aslan would provide a new home for them. I saw Susan and walked up to her.

"Su."

"Hello Pet, how are you doing?"

"Fine, I'm just worried."

"Why are you worried?"

"I found Hope Faith Pevensie."

"That's great! Why would you be worried?"

"Well you see, I don't want to lose her again, but I don't know if Aslan will let her come home with us, and even if he did she would have to be adopted and Mother and Father would have to be okay with her living with us."

"True, but I think if Aslan lets her come home with us he would take care of all that stuff. And anyway, who is she?"

"Hoff."

"Hoff? Like the one who was really mad at you at the start and blamed you for Beth's death? Actually that make sense."

"Yeah, it does, she thought I abandoned them and I didn't care."

"Why is she called Hoff?"

"Hoff is apparently short for Hoffnung which is German for 'Hope'."

"If she does come back home with us, she'll need to go by 'Hope', we don't really like Germans."

Then Aslan came up behind us. "Son of Adam and Daughter of Eve, come, walk with me."

And so he did and he told us many things

Hoff's POV

I was walking around, Father (Peter) Wow it is weird to call him that. Had told me to tell Lu and Ed about us-um being family. I finally had found them sitting under a tree talking to Chanson, Reep and Peep.

"Hello all of you. And how are you on this fine morning?"

"We are doing well." Giggled Lu, she found it funny when I talked like that.

"Well I got some news that the High King Peter told me to tell you."

"Oh what?" They cried.

"And Hoff?" Ed spoke up. "Drop the formality will you?"

I laughed, this is going to be hard. "Well he asked me to tell you a story."
"Oooh fun! You're a good story teller." Chanson encouraged. They all gathered around.

"Reep and Chanson, please don't give away what story it is, neither of you have heard the full story, but you have heard some."

"Don't worry, we won't." Reep stated. I smiled, then I closed my eyes (I do this when I tell stories).

"There once was a King who was married to a beautiful wife. And that wife had a daughter, this daughter was always smiling and found beauty in everything, one day the king went away, before going his daughter came up to him. "Be safe Daddy, don't get hurt!" He laughed "Don't worry dear, I'll be okay." but she was still worried "You're sure?" He smiled "Of course dear, I'll be back, I promise." With that he went up on his horse and rode off with his siblings. But he never did come back. About a year later an enemy attacked that country, the mother and the child tried to escape, but the mother was killed, the child still got away. She ran away to a neighboring country and was taken into the house of the king. About three years later the ultimate ruler of her country came to her and told her to go into a nearby desert and find a treasure. That treasure was a necklace, then the ultimate ruler told her that she would grow to be fifteen years old and then stay that age until her father returns. After that when she turned fifteen she returned to her old country and avenged her people, she lived like this for a few hundred years. Then the prince of her enemies came and joined her people, war broke out, the prince blew a magic horn and she followed one of her people to her home, where the castle of her father stood, there she found her two aunts, one uncle, and her father."

"What! You're saying your Hope?" Lu questioned

"Yes."

"Reep, Chanson, how much of the story did you know?" Ed wondered

"I knew the part about her father not coming back, and Aslan sending her on the mission." Reep and Chanson answered.

"How would we know you're not lying?" wondered Lu.

"Ask Aslan." I stated.

Edmund nodded his head "You do look like Beth and Peter."

I smile.

Peter's POV

Su and I understood what Aslan just told us and why. We would not be going back to Narnia again.

"But what about Hope?" I wondered.

"She shall come home with you. Your parents will think that they have a fifth child and that they always did, and so will everyone else."

"Okay."

After that we went to the group of people had gathered, these were all the telmarines that wanted to go to a different place. I was thinking about Hope and Beth and wasn't listening to Aslan. Suddenly I heard Aslan say

"The chasm is open for your return; but this I must warn you, that once you have gone through, it will close behind you for ever. There will be no more commerce between the worlds by that door."

Everyone was silent.

"Well, I'll take the offer." Said a soldier.

"It is well chosen. And because you have spoken first, strong magic is upon you. Your future in that world shall be good. Come forth."

Then the man went through the door. When he went through it, he was no longer seen, the people became afraid. Then I went forward

"Come on. Our time's up."

"What do you mean?" Ed looked startled.

"This way. Back into the trees. We've got to change. You too Hope." Su ordered. Hope's face had a smile on it.

"Change what?" Lu asked.

"Our clothes, of course. Nice fools we'd look on the platform of an English station in these."

"But our other things are at Caspian's castle." Ed objected.

"Umm, what do I wear?" Hope wondered.

"I think Aslan will take care of that." I answered.

"I'm kind of scared. I mean, what will happen when I get there? Will I ever come back?"

"We will explain what will happen when we get there, when we're there. We will have time. And yes I do think you'll come back." I comforted.

"Was that what Aslan was talking to you and Susan about this morning?" Lu asked.

"Yes - that and other things. I can't tell it to you all. There were things he wanted to say to Su and me because we're not going back to Narnia."

"What, you're not going back?" Hope looked horrified.

"Never?" Ed exclaimed.

"Oh, you three are. At least, from what he said, I'm pretty sure he means you to get back some day. But not Su and me. He says we're getting too old." I explained.

"I'm Susan's age, why wouldn't I be to old?" Hope asked.

"Because you were born here, you'll never get too old."

"We'll I'm happy about that, I love this old country."

"And we love our ancient girl." Lu teased. Hope gave her a good push.

Then we walked forward toward the door. We took a deep breath and entered into it. Then we saw ourselves planted on a platform at a train station. Hope's face wrinkled at the smell. This is going to be hard for her.

"Well! We have had a time." I smile.

"Bother! I've left my new torch in Narnia." Ed complained. Hope just laughed.
