Here's chapter 3 to the short story. Please enjoy. :)


Lucy woke up by her window seal in her chair. She had fallen asleep as she was watching the dark clouds. It was still in the same spot in the sky hovering over the eastern sea. There was something she dreamed before waking up. It looked like somewhere she was shown to go to wait on somebody. She didn't really know who or why.

As she got to her feet she felt that same urge again. The sort of urge she felt four years ago when she found the wardrobe in the professors house and all the feelings that surrounded Aslan. It was the same urge that had helped her keep her faith, Aslan. She knew it.

She very much wanted to let her siblings know of her dream but they wouldn't believe that. They were too caught up in the party that went on below.

She made her way back to her door wiping beneath her eyes with her fingertips smoothly still a little bit exhausted from her short nap. Opening the door she found her brother Edmund in the hall.

"I was just on my way to see how you were doing." Edmund spoke full of symphony. "Susan told me and Peter and we want to know what is really going."

"It's nothing Edmund," Lucy lies. "I think I just need to get away from here for a little while." She said going back into her room pulling out one of her long sports dresses and changes out of her garment dress behind her changing room.

Edmund looks away from his sister and still talks. "Are you sure about that Lucy? Maybe I should come with you too."

"I don't want you to Edmund." Lucy exclaims. "I'm really sorry but I just want to escape for just a day or two for peace and quiet."

'Where are you going?" Edmund asked.

"I'll probably make due around the Beaver's Dam." Lucy answered putting on her sports dress. It was almost similar to her sister Susan's hunter green one when they first came in to Narnia. "Don't worry about it so much Edmund. I'll be coming back soon."

After her dress was on she took off her high heels and replaces her feet with traveling boots.

She came around from her dresser and Edmund finally turns around. "Just promise me you will not tell the others." Lucy said pulling a brown cloak over her shoulders.

"They will notice you've gone." Edmund said in an obvious manner.

"Edmund," Lucy looks at him with a concerned raised eyebrow but still spoke gently. "You do know what I mean."

Edmund shrugs with a grin forming across his face. "I know I will not tell them where you are."

Lucy smiles back but she could feel the pit of her stomach churn nervously. This was the very first time she lied, ever. She had always been truthful to everyone she knew up to this point but she didn't know how else to tell him without letting her go alone or at all. "I shouldn't be long. Thank you Edmund." Lucy hugs her brother.

"Take care," Edmund says hugging Lucy back.

Lucy makes her way down the hall and corridors quickly. First she stops near the kitchen area in the castle and easily took some of the party food stashing it into her sack and a canteen which she would fill with water later on in the woods for her journey.

Getting everything she needed she made her way to the stables silently and overlooking the balconies around the castle to make sure no one would catch her, especially Peter or Susan.

Reaching the stables she chose to ride Glaze. Narnia's most gorgeous Palomino and he was a very fast runner. Lucy strokes the horses long face gently before giving him a quick brush and after that she prepared to saddle him up.

Glaze wasn't a talking horse but she could swear he was almost close to being one because every time she would come in and talk to him he would listen and comfort her with a nudge on her shoulder to let her know he got what she was saying and would occasionally laugh with a high neigh when Lucy would tell him a funny story or just simply made up a joke.

Lucy opens the stable door holding Glaze as soon as she was done and mounts him, with that Glaze takes off out of the stable and heads down the path Lucy took him with a twist of the reigns.

Shortly after twenty minutes Lucy stops really quick to gather some water and they were off again to cross a border she saw in her dream and what Narnian's told her of a land or sea that did not exist on the western borders.

Still she had to try still feeling the urge that something was there and that somebody was indeed coming.
