The Train:
The Next morning was terrible.. As the children Walked out of the Shelter, they could see smoke in the distance, and rubble near their house. The kids looked frightened at what they saw especially poor Lucy. They saw A Medical vehicle taking a corpse of a mother and son into the van. Susan Gasped in Horror and Covered Lucy's eyes as they both wept. Edmund looked as if he was going to be sick, so he turned away. Veronicas' knees gave way so she fell to the ground crying. Peter Immediately crouched down and began to comfort her and hug her with a upset look but tried so hard no to show, it while Mrs. Pevensie was talking to a near by officer. A few minutes later she came back sad.
-" I have arranged for you all to be sent to the country.."
-"Mum" Said Peter Ready to Protest.
-"No, It has started to become serious, you five will be safe in The Country, so I am told. Please do what I say and pack your bags, your train leaves at noon."
For The Remainder of the morning, No one said a word to each other. Hear and there you would her a sniff come from one of the girls and a cough from the boys. Susan, Lucy, and Veronica Stayed in Susan's Bedroom While they packed.
-" 'Tis so unfair" blurted Veronica, breaking the Uncomfortable silence…
-"I know but we don't have a choice, it be best if we just try to deal with this the best we can." Replied Susan Trying to make her voice sound positive, but her face showed what she felt.
-" Are you done, My Dears?" came Mrs.Pevensies voice.
-"Yes" they replied sadly
NOON
" You need to keep this on darling. All right. You warm enough?" said Mrs.Pevensie to Lucy as she strapped on a tag to Lucy's Shirt. Lucy Nodded but said nothing.
"Good Girl" Mrs.Pevensie stated, who then gave Lucy a kiss on the forehead.
-" If Dad were here, He wouldn't make us go" Said Edmund upset. Peter rolled his eyes and blurted out-
"If Dad were here, it mean the war was over and we wouldn't have to go.
-"Edmund, You will listen to your brother, won't you?" Mrs.Pevensie Asked.
Edmund rolled his eyes and sighed. Mrs. Pevensie Knelt down to give him a kiss, but Turned his head away. Mrs.Pevensie looked upset and nodded and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. She Turned and Hugged Peter. Veronica Turned away hiding tears in her eyes. She didn't want the others to see how much this had affected her, especially for poor Lucy. When she was able to regain her self she turned around…
-"… I will Mum" said Peter Sadly.
-"Good Man." Mrs. Pevensie replied and turned to Susan who was now having tears in her eyes.
-"Susan…" that's all Susan needed to hear and she ran and hugged her mother.
-"Its alright, there, there… Be a big girl. …"
As Susan Backed away from her mother, Mrs. Pevensie Walked Towards Veronica.
Veronica Was A little shock by the reaction Mrs. Pevensie gave her.
"Veronica." She said as she hugged her. " Don't worry, your father will be alright, and so will I… Look after the others please, especially Peter, and bless you for giving us happiness these past days…"
At that moment Veronica Let Tears Roll down her cheek and began to sob.
-"Thank you Mrs.Pevensie, for taking me in, for making like Family…Your More of a Mother I ever knew…" She cried even harder " Please Be…careful…"
-" I will Sweetheart, I will" Said Mrs.Pevensie camly…
A whistle blew signaling that all need to start to board the train.
-" Alright… Off you go" Said Mrs.Pevensie
The five children walked off sadly. Lucy was hesitating after she lost sight of her mother.. She stood there looking for her, tip toeing to find her.. Peter holding her hand felt the strain and knelt beside her.
"Come on Lucy, we have to stick together now. Every thing is going to be all right. It's going to be fine." Said Peter Trying his best to reassure her. Lucy Thought about it for a couple of seconds and Began to walk with Peter to the train…
-" Tickets! Tickets Please!" Shouted a Ticket Collector.
-"Peter, Peter!" shouted Susan who took the tickets from Peters hand. The line of soldiers going through the train station distracted him. Veronica saw this and grabbed his hand smiling. Peter Jumped out of his thoughts and looked at her, He began to smile as she led the way to the train..
The Children Stored their Luggage in a Empty Compartment then looked out the Window To Wave Good Bye To Their Mother…
Once The Train Left the station The Pevensies and Veronica made their way back to the Compartment..
-"Watch Were Your going Short-Fry" yelled a boy the same age as Peter to Lucy.
-"Can you try saying excuse me?" Lucy responded. The Boy Took This as a Insult an began to mess with her hair…
-"Please leave me alone!" cried Lucy. As soon as she said this Veronica Saw what was happening and immediately ran to help her.
-" HEY! Leave Her Alone!" Yelled Veronica as she shoved him away from Lucy.
-"Well, well, look what I got here. Kid, you got a nice Sister!" he said smiling
-" Try messing with someone your own size." Veronica stated bitterly
-" Someone like you!" he said and at the moment grabbed her arm and yanked her towards him. " How bout we get a compartment of our own? 'eh?" he stated, bringing her more closer.
Struggling she replied, " How about you get the hell away!"
-"Sassy, I like that" he tried to kiss her but she slapped him just in time. He let out a yelp and turned his face that now shown a red handprint. " Why I'm going to…" He grabbed her harder and forced her to the wall. Her body screamed with pain.
-" You think that's pain? I'm going to show you pain" He yelled and threw a punch at her but failed to hit his target. She fell to the floor and looked to see what happened. Peter Saw what was going on so he decided to Leap forward and catch the guy off guard right before he almost hit Veronica. Now Peter and the boy were fighting. Throwing punches to the stomach, tugging and ripping shirts.. Afraid The Officers on the train would come she quickly Went into the Brawl. Peter saw her coming in so he gently pushed her out of the way.
-"Don't get into this!" he panted trying to throw a punch at the guys' waist.
-"Peter! Stop! It's not worth it!" Veronica cried to him
-"Yeah Kid. Let Her win your battles" Shouted the boy
Peter let out a yell and started throwing harder punches. Knowing any second the officers would be here. She leapt in and grabbed Peter By The waist and pulled him off the boy.
Peter Immediately tried to go back in but Veronica Blocked him in the corner.
-"Peter, No! It's not worth it, trust me." She panted. He Looked at her and saw hurt ness in her eyes so he nodded at her and she felt him relax his body..
-" Silence by a Girl?! Ha, what a loser!" yelled the boy. Anger went in Peter and he tried again to get to him but Veronica held him back.
-" You better thank her! The next time I find you I swear I'm going to beat the hell out of you and roll you down the Country side!" Yelled Peter.. This seemed to Silence the boy since he ran off worried. A few Minutes later, Veronica released Peter.
-"Are you alright?" he asked worried.
-" A little bruised but I'm fine. Thank you for saving me back there, again" she replied
-" As soon as I saw him grab you I made my way to you, if it wasn't for the crowd, I probably could have got him." He looked at her worried, but she never changed her expression of happiness.
-"Well…at least you tried" she joked with him
-"Ha, ha" he replied. She stared down and saw his shirt was torn and how it revealed his thigh and his stomach. She Blushed slightly and then faced him and told him it be best if he changed. A few minutes later they entered the Compartment with an Upset Susan…
