Disclaimer: Yeah although I'm writing out of my imagination, I don't own Chronicles of Narnia. I do own Sophie so I sort of win.

Chapter 7

Sophie

"So how was the 1940s for you and your siblings when you lived there?" I asked. It's been an hour and a half I guess since my iTouch was turned off for the night to conserve the battery. You never know if I may be bored one day. I was sitting at one end of my bed while Edmund got the headboard part of the bed and we were talking or playing twenty questions with one another.

"Way different from yours for one thing" he replied.

"How?" I asked.

"Well for one thing, girls didn't wear trousers and we didn't have any of those electronic machines you have" he said.

"We do have chat speak like LOL means laugh out loud" I said.

"Why?"

"I don't know but you sounded so old when you said trousers. Sorry but no one in my world say that anymore" I said, hiding a few giggles while Edmund gave me a look as I calmed down a bit.

"Alright, alright you proved your point" I said.

He smirked as he sat up. "What do you like to do?" he asked.

"You can't be serious" I said, raising my eyebrow.

"Dead serious" he replied.

"Back in my century, I would go out with my friends, sometimes I would hang out at home and listen to Jason go at it with his Xbox" I said.

"What's an Xbox?"

"A video game system, it's not important" I said. "Sometimes, my brother he would be playing some battle games and I once tried to do it."

"I'm assuming you didn't do well."

"Not exactly it's just whenever he's in the zone as he calls it, he would not come out of his room for hours unless he has to use the bathroom" I said.

"How old is he?" he asked.

"He's only thirteen" I replied.

Edmund nodded and looked like he was thinking hard about something. "Want to tell me what's on your mind?"I asked.

"What makes you think that?" he asked.

"For one thing you're really quiet and it looks like you want to ask me something. If you want to ask, just do it." I said.

"How did you get into Narnia?" he blurted out.

"Like how I magically came out of nowhere?" I inquired.

"Yeah" he said. "Did you go through a portal?"

"They have those?" I asked.

"Do you remember how you got here?" he asked, changing the topic.

"What's with these questions all of a sudden?"

"I've been curious and so have my siblings plus you never really told us and also I told you my side of the story" he said.

That was true. I never really gave an explanation on how I got here. Well I think he knew why and so did I. Then again, I don't even want to think about last night.

"I don't even know sort of" I replied.

"How could you not know?"

"Look all I remember was taking the park that was near my house as a shortcut home from my friend's house, I hid in some bushes I tripped and I just kept on falling until I landed here" I said.

"Why were you hiding in the bushes?"

"Do you really want to know?" I asked. I didn't want to tell him what happened before I got here and who knows what might he would've done. Nah that sounded crazy to me.

"I thought I was being chased in the park" I started out. "I was cutting through the park, it was almost dark out and I was supposed to be home by dark and I saw someone out of the corner of my eye who looked a little sketchy."

"Sketchy?"

"Someone who doesn't feel right like they're up to no good" I said.

"I see, sorry you can continue" he said.

"So then I thought of nothing and continued walking but the next thing I know, I hear footsteps behind me so I ran" I explained.

"You didn't get hurt did you?"

"No of course not. I hid in the bushes and he was gone" I replied. "Then I tripped over a branch and fell into what it felt like a never ending pit."

I looked over and saw that Edmund was sitting straight up on the bed almost next to me. "Why would someone be after you?" he asked.

"I don't know maybe he was probably heading in that direction otherwise, something could've happened" I replied. "Besides, do we really have to dwell on it?"

"I suppose you're right" he said. I grinned a little bit too widely on that, thanking god that the subject has changed.

I started to trace a design on the blanket with my finger. I felt a finger underneath my chin and I looked up to see that Edmund was looking into my eyes.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"Of course I am. It's just I don't talk about how I got here is not only you never asked or I ever brought it up, it was because something happened prior to me getting here" I replied.

"What was it?"

I sighed as I got up from my spot on the bed. "I got into a fight with my friend" I said. "It was something stupid and I just left."

"Maybe you guys could try to work it out" he said.

"I don't know" I said. I stared out the window staring out into the sky. My room did come with a balcony but I wasn't in the mood to go on there tonight.

"Sometimes I stare out into the sky on a night like this" his voice said, coming near me. "It gives me some peace after what I've been through with the war not long behind. What about you?"

"Huh?" I asked, turning to face him. I couldn't help but notice how in the moonlight he even looked more beautiful. Not to mention, handsome as well.

Whoa where the hell did that come from?

"I asked where do you go the get away from things like around at your home?" he asked.

"This may sound crazy but I go to the beach" I replied. "There isn't one where I am but my parents, Jason and I would go to the Jersey shore and no not near where the reality show is. Whenever we're there, I usually walk to the beach during the day or sometimes whenever it' sundown. The waves and the air relax me for some reason. I find it calm."

"So that's why you were down by the beach today?"

"Sort of but I've never seen the beach here more clean and the water is clear" I said. I tried to hide my yawn but it was unsuccessful.

"I think you look like you're going to fall asleep" Edmund said.

"Nah I'm not tired" I said and I yawned again. "Alright, maybe I am."

"Come on, let's get you to bed" he said.

I never realized how long we were up for. It was still dark out but I found myself growing more tired by the time I got on my bed. I lied back on my pillows, hugging my knees to my chest. I remember our conversation from tonight.

"Remember when you asked me about my favorite color, though I don't know why to this moment you did and when I asked what yours was you said you didn't have any specific one?" I asked.

"Yeah."

"Would you believe that my favorite color is light blue?" I said.

"I would believe it" he replied.

"You would" I stated as I stretched out my arms. What caught me off guard was that Edmund grabbed my right hand and held it for a minute. I was unsure on what he was going to do until he brought to his lips and kissed it tenderly on it.

"Goodnight Sophie" he said with a smile as he made his way to the door.

"Night" I called out as he closed the door in a dazed voice. He sure can be a gentleman.

I covered myself up with a blanket as I thought about tonight. We did talk about our families and our likes and what not. I was surprised that we had gotten in depth about each other a bit more. He told me about what happened when he first came to Narnia with his siblings and he briefly mentioned the White Witch.

From what I can tell, it was a sensitive subject to him and I respect that. Although I have never experienced something like that and I don't think I don't want to at anytime soon. I looked over at the window one last time gazing at the stars before I fell asleep.

A/n: I tried my best with this chapter. It's 2am where I am and I'm on a tired energy high. That means I'm tired from working an eight hour shift but I still have the energy to do stuff like write this!

I hope you guys liked it. Now that I have the summer off from college, I'll try and write more. I'll also post a picture of what Sophie looks like once I find out on my blog which I'll give out the link to if you're interested.

Don't forget to review! They mean a lot and thanks to each and every one of you who reviewed and alerted my story. It truly means a lot!
