A/N hey guys! I'm SO sorry it's taken so long for me to get this posted, but to tell you the truth; I didn't have any idea were I was going with this story until like a few days ago. Thank you so much for being patient with me!

Disclaimer: I own nothing except my own characters (which I'm stealing some of them from my other stories LOL)

Now that's interesting.

I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out, instead I was just sitting there with my mouth hanging open like a fish.

"She says that she thinks she can't speak!" Miko laughed, "What a goof!"

Miko stopped laughing as soon as I glared at him.

"Not funny!" I snarled in my head, "Were are we?"

"Great, now I have to be the talking dog." Miko muttered, "Were are we?" Miko mimicked my voice, but I smacked him on the head.

"Your in Narnia!" The little girl said. Narnia? Why did that sound familiar?

"Your not from this world, are you?" The older boy asked. I shook my head.

"We're from the park, in America." Miko stated.

"Yeah, good way to put it." I thought sarcastically, "We're from Iowa dummy."

"Oh, yeah." Miko stuttered, "I meant to say that."

"Yeah, and looks can kill." I thought.

"They can if they look like your teacher!" Miko resorted.

"Oh that's mean…" I snarled, "You've never seen my teacher before!"

"Yes I have!" Miko barked, "She's the one with the annoying Chihuahua!"

The older boy cleared his throat, and I saw that the little girl was chuckling. Edmund stared at us oddly before smiling.

"If I may ask," Edmund said, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"Would you be so kind as is to answer that for me, Miko?" I asked sarcastically.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm gettin' to it!" Miko barked, "I seriously have no idea. I think it's a bit odd that I can talk though, and you can't!"

"Really? When did you come to that conclusion?"

"Just now." Miko said slowly.

"Aslan must have you here for some reason." Edmund said, "I'll go get Peter and Susan."

"Repeat the words I say Miko!" I thought frustrated.

"Repeat the words I say, Miko!" Miko copied me.

"Not now, dummy!"

"Not now dummy!"

"Shut up and do as I say!"

"Shut up and do as I say!"

"I'm an idiot."

"I'm an idiot- I don't like you." Miko growled.

"You took the words right out of my… head."

"Look," The oldest boy called Peter said coming up to the side of the bed, "If Miko can hear the words you say, maybe other animals can."

"Why would Aslan send a girl who can only speak to animals through her head?" The eldest girl spoke.

"I don't know." Peter said, "But whatever he sent you for, it has to be important."


"When do you think we get to go home, Miko?" I asked my dog.

"I hope it's going to be soon." Miko whimpered, "I miss our family."

"Me too." I thought pulling Miko close to me. There was a slight knock on the door as Susan entered the room, holding a tray of food for Miko and I.

"I thought you two might be hungry." She said setting the food on a nightstand next to me.

"Thanks."

"Thanks" Miko copied me. Susan nodded and turned to leave.

I leaned over and picked up a roll, splitting it in two for Miko, before lying back down. I focusing my energy real hard on Miko, I tried to make him say everything I thought.

"I like pizza! I like cheese! Say something! La la la la la!"

"La la la la la." Miko mumbled under his breath. I did a silent laugh as Miko sounded just like Jake when he tried to copy me.

"This is going to be hard not being able to talk." I thought sadly.

"Oh yeah?" Miko burped before continuing, "Well I'm going to have to talk for you!" I rolled my eyes before lying down and closing my eyes.


"Avi!" I was overjoyed by the sound of my friend's voice again.

"J.J!" I screamed as my friend approached and hugged me.

"I suspect you have many questions." J.J. said pulling back. I nodded.

"Why can't I talk in real life?" I asked, "And why can Miko talk?" J.J. smiled sadly.

"I know someone who might know the answer to that." J.J said, "In fact, he's the one who brought us to Narnia!"

"Us?" I asked, but J.J. pulled me away. She led me down a hill and pointed to a figure on the next hill.

"I'll be around!" J.J. said skipping off. I watched her for a second before looking up to see a great lion approaching me.

"Greetings, Avery." The lion purred, "I am Aslan. I have brought you to my country." The lion motioned for me to sit down.

"Why?" I asked.

"Narnia is in great danger." Aslan informed me, "Of what I do not know. That was why I sent J.J to Narnia so many years ago."

"This is the place J.J. mentioned she visited!" I gasped, "Before she was diagnosed…"

"I know dear child." The lion said softly, "J.J. had a job to do in Narnia. Ask the kings and queens you have been sent to. J.J. visited once before she died, and once after she died. You have been sent to finish what she could not."

"What's that?" I asked.

"In time, that is what J.J. will tell you." Aslan said, "But for now you are wondering why you can't speak?" I nodded, "You have spent much of you're life in solitude after Jillian died." Aslan said using J.J.'s full name, "There are other ways to speak you're mind without using words, and you can understand that. Miko has been by you're side for many months since J.J. has been dead, and you both have grown very close. Miko is there to speak for you. You will be given a gift from me when you get back, cherish this gift and do not doubt it. This will be essential for saving Narnia." I nodded.

"Is there any way…" I began.

"I'm afraid not, my child." Aslan said sadly, "Death is a hard thing to avoid, and when it has happened there is no going back." I nodded again in understanding.

"Aslan?" J.J. called coming up, "Did you tell her about the gateway to heaven?"

"No, child." Aslan laughed, "I will leave that to you." J.J. smiled and grabbed my hand pulling me up.

"Come on! We don't have much time!" She called to me as we ran.

"Where are we going?" I called being towed along, and leaving the large cat behind us.

"You'll see!" J.J. laughed as we raced down the hill. J.J. halted and I looked up in awe at a bright and beautiful castle. Not too far from where we were standing was a familiar tree.

"Sunny!" I shouted gleefully. J.J. nodded and looked up at the tree.

"Oh, and before you go," J.J. pulled out a small drawing book and pencils, "These might be important."



I woke up to bright sunlight on my face, and Miko snoring next to me. I looked down, and I was holding a small sketchbook and a few pencils.

"Wow!" I thought amazed. Miko lifted his head.

"Hey! Whoa! What?" Miko jumped up, "Where's that cat?"

"Not here?" I guessed.

"What's that?" Miko asked sniffing the sketchbook.

"I don't know, J.J. gave it to me." I informed Miko. I opened the book and looked at the blank front page. The fact that it was blank made me puzzled. In the corner of each page were odd messages.

Vowels

Ear

Varioss

Of Item

The pages beyond them were blank. I stared at the letters. It didn't make any sense. Vowels ear varioss of item? And why did varios have two s and no u? None of what was written made sense! I remembered learning about anagrams in school, but I sucked at them! Crap. Well I knew for sure that Ear wasn't right. I spread out the letters.

E-A-R

Then I studied it, Miko snoring by my side again. Rea? No. There was only one other solution. Are. Yes! That's what it was! Are!

Vowels

Are

Varioss

Of Item

Nope, still didn't make any sense. But I knew I was onto it. Suddenly, something in my mind flashed. I felt my hand working the pencil into the paper. A flash of gray, jaws snapping in the air, a dog bigger then Miko. I suddenly felt as if I was released, and my head was flung back.

"What just happened?" I thought. Miko sat up.

"It was weird," He said, "You started shaking, and then you had something on you're paper there." I looked down, "It looks like a large dog, like you see in the Iditarod Dog sled races on T.V." Miko was right. On the paper were multiple pictures of a big black and gray dog with amber eyes.

"That's a wolf!" I exclaimed to Miko.

"Looks like more then one wolf." Miko said, "That silver one is beautiful!" One the paper were two more wolves; one was a dark gray and white she wolf, and the other was also a she wolf, but was sliver and younger. There was a light knock on the door.

"Come in!" Miko called for me. Edmund and Lucy stepped into the room, and Lucy ran up to pet Miko.

"How are you feeling?" Edmund asked.

"Fine." Miko answered even before I could think it.

"What's that?" Lucy asked looking at the sketchbook, "Wow! Did you draw those?" I nodded.

"That looks like Conri!" Edmund pointed to the large black and dark gray wolf, "And Amoux, and Sophia!"

"Who are they?" Miko asked.

"They're a wolf pack, down by the Cauldron pool!" Edmund said, "Sophia is Conri and Amoux's daughter."

"She's pretty…" Miko sighed looking at the silver she wolf.

"Something's wrong with you." I told Miko.

"Everything's wrong with me… I'm in love…"

"You've never even met her!" I thought to the black puppy, "Not to mention you're only five months old!"

"Nearly a half a year old!" Miko protested.

"How old are you?" Lucy asked.

"Fifteen."

"Fifteen." Miko mimicked me.

"Why don't you help Avi get dressed Lu?" Edmund suggested, "Then we can go down to breakfast, and talk about you're sketches." Edmund nodded to Miko, and then me before exiting the room.

"Come on!" Lucy said pulled me out of bed, "I bet you look great in green!"


"How do you know about the River Outo Pack?" Peter asked looking at the drawings.

"That's just the thing, I don't."I thought as Miko told everyone what I was saying, "I've never been to Narnia! Only J.J. has from what I've heard."

"J.J?" Susan asked.

"That name sounds familiar!" Lucy said.

"Her full name is Jillian."I thought as Miko explained.

"Jillian!" Edmund exclaimed, "You knew her?"

"She was my best friend."I thought to Miko and he translated for me, "But she died years ago."

"That can't be!" Lucy said, "Because she helped us fight the white witch!"

"WHAT?" Miko barked my response.

"Why would they bring Jillian's best friend to Narnia?" Peter thought out loud.

"What happened to J.J?"I screamed in my head.

"We don't know," Edmund explained, "She left at the coronation and never came back. We always assumed she went with Aslan, or she is somewhere in Narnia."

"I saw her last night, she was in my dream." I thought.

"She was in you're dream?" Edmund said excitedly. I could see something in his eyes, but I couldn't quite pick it out. It almost looked like hope, or something else. Edmund's eyes made me thing, what did J.J. do here in Narnia?

A/N can you figure out what the message is before Avi does? Try me.

R&R :)
