Chapter 14

"Pick a number" Natalie said coming up to Peter .I t was a few days into spring,Peter groaned ,sometimes Natalie was as bad as Lucy.

"Natalie" he said sneezing,"I'm reading" he said holding up his book,he hated spring and he'd much rather be indoors,but the teachers here seemed to think the fresh air would do the students some good.

Natalie sighed,"Bless e on,I made a fortune teller" she said holding up a piece of paper that was folded into a very odd shape.

Peter looked at her oddly "A what" he asked,his curiosity got the better of him and he put his book down.

Natalie smiled and perched on the wall next to him "Pick a number" she ordered "Between one and ten"

"Seven" he said his mind somewhere else,out of the corner of his eye,he saw Natalie move the paper around seven times.He could see his younger siblings in various parts of the play yard. Susan was surrounded as usual by her friends.Edmund was with his friends ,Peter thought they were a bad influence on his younger brother,they took pleasure in bullying the younger students.Lucy was by herself sitting on a swing she was talking to an empty swing on first glance one would think his little sister was batty,but Peter knew she was talking to her imaginary friend Laura. Lucy needed real friends,ones who would accept her for her wonderful and sweet nature.He didn't realise Natalie was calling his name until she pinched his arm.

"What was that for" he asked rubbing his arm and wincing slightly.

"Well,if you were paying attention you'd know.Pick a colour,blue,green,yellow or red" Natalie said

"Blue" he said

"Pick a number again" Natalie said

Peter sneezed three times ,"I just picked a number,why would I pick another one"

"Don't argue if you please,Mr.Pevensie" Natalie said sounding like their teacher

Peter smiled slightly,"Four" he said

Natalie moved the paper around,opening it up she read it silently,her face turned pale,Peter noticed ,"Nat,what's wrong"

"I didn't write this" Natalie muttered

"Didn't write what? Let me see" Peter demanded taking the paper from her .There in writing that wasn't Natalie's was a message

You will have an adventure beyond your wildest dreams

Peter looked at Natalie,"Are you sure you didn't write this " he said slowly

Natalie nodded,"What do you think it means" she asked

Peter didn't know,for some reason it intrigued him .
