Chapter 2 – Vanish
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Lucy had said that Peter had gotten into another fight. Ever since they'd left Narnia a year ago and return to England, Peter had been in all sorts of fights, so it wasn't really a shock anymore. Susan and Lucy pushed their way through the crowd, looking desperately for Peter. It wasn't hard; the crowd only seemed to get louder and louder as they drew closer to the fight. Peter was finally in sight, and it did not look good. He was single-handedly taking on four guys who were all much larger than he was, and from the looks of it they were winning. Lucy gasped at the sight just as Peter's eyes connected with Susan's. He could immediately see the disappointment in them.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Peter had managed to shove one guy into the nearest wall, before getting kicked in the legs by another guy then thrown onto the ground by someone else. Pushing his sisters and everyone else aside, Edmund jumped to his brothers aid, pouncing on the guy that had Peter in a headlock. Three goons had picked Peter up off the ground just so they could throw him back down. Edmund lurched himself at them but not before one of them had placed a nice kick in Peter's stomach.
"It's almost eleven!" Malfoy called out to his goons, pointing at the barrier behind him that read nine and ten, causing them to slowly stop. Taking his chance, Peter shoved two of the guys off him and lunged for Malfoy; after all, he was the entire reason he had even gotten into the fight.
He had intended on shoving Malfoy into the brick barrier behind him, but as soon as they reached it, it seemed to disappear before them. They landed on the ground with a thud, him on top of Malfoy, who quickly pushed him off and scurried away. For a second he believed that he was being called back into Narnia, but was soon confused when he looked up and saw another train station crowded with people.

"PETER?!" Susan and Lucy cried out. Their brother had just disappeared into a platform barrier within the blink of an eye. The goons looked stupidly at each other before quickly making their way into the barrier themselves. Edmund dived in immediately after them, in hopes of finding his brother. "EDMUND?!" Susan and Lucy cried out. They had seen both of their brothers disappear into a solid brick wall within seconds. The sudden disappearance of the six brawlers (seven if you count in Malfoy) had the crowd quite paralyzed with fear. The Queens of Narnia pushed past the few people in front of them. Then cautiously and ever so nervously, made their way towards the barrier. Grabbing Lucy by the hand, Susan determinedly walked into the bricks.

Peter wandered around the station aimlessly. It seemed like the same station that he was at only a few moments ago… yet at the same time different. There was a little something in the air that he hadn't sensed since Narnia.
"PETER!" he heard familiar voices cry out. "PETER WHERE ON EARTH ARE YOU!" Oh crap, that sounds like a fairly annoyed Susan. Cautiously he turned towards the voice. Spotted. Susan's eyes narrowed as she strode towards him. Lucy on the other hand gleefully ran for her older brother and locked him in a tight hug. Stating the obvious, the second eldest said, "And Edmund's still missing."
