Stop This Train- Cameron Mitchell cover. I highly recommend you listen to this song as you read this chapter.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

I look up and find myself sitting face-to-face with Aslan.

"Of course," I say as I allow a genuine smile to creep onto my lips. "I've never been so sure of anything in my life."

He gives an approving nod and I look around us. We sit in the dead center of the meadow. Our meadow. The light sky fades as twilight shows herself; a rosy edge tickles the dissolving azure. An evening breeze rustles through the trees as the scarlet sun peeks through the leaves in the most natural and perfect way.

"I'm dreaming, aren't I?" From the corner of my eye, I see the majestic lion turn towards me but I stare off into the distance.

"Yes," he slowly replies. "You are...I'm sorry."

I chuckle and shake my head. "You have no reason to be. It's what I've been wanting. It's what I've been needing actually." I rest my chin on my knees and lock my hands together under my legs.

"You knew this was not going to be easy an easy journey, dear one."

"I know, Aslan...I never expected it to be."

We sit in silence for a few moments and I close my eyes. The winds kisses my cheeks and I feel a sudden coldness. "Please don't cry anymore." I bring a hand up to my face and catch a salty drop before it falls. Why am I crying? I should be grateful to be here, even if only for a while. I should be happy. I open my mouth but no words come out. I let my hand fall to my side but soon both of my hands begin to tremble.

"May...I." I pause and try to collect a steady voice. "May I see them, Aslan? Caspian and Trumpkin and Lilliandil and-and...Liam..."

"You know I would if I could, Evalynn...but I don't think-"

"It's alright." I suck in some air and lie down among the flowers around me. "It's alright..." Beside me, I feel Aslan's weight shift as he lies beside me in a protective sort of manner. His mane tickles my nose and I giggle like a child.

"He's well, Evalynn." I smile and take in the sweet scent of the flowers' nectar. "He misses you but he's doing well."

"I miss him too, Aslan. I miss him so much but it makes me very glad to hear he's fine...Has he mentioned anything about me?"

The lion booms with laughter so immense that it causes the ground to shake. "Yes, yes he has mentioned you quite a lot actually."

I turn my head to look at Aslan and find him beaming at me. "What has he said?"

"He's very happy to be able to call you his fiance, my dear, let's just say that." Pure happiness eats at me and I break out my biggest smile.

"Is he happy in your country?"

"Very. I've given him a task just as I have given you one."

"A task?" I sit up and face Him. "What do you mean by that?"

Pause. "You shall see in due time, Evalynn...He's also made some new friends too."

"New friends?"

Aslan bobs his head up and down and I look at him expectantly. "He's become very close to one of them in particular very quickly. I believe you know him."

I shake my head in utter confusion. "Who are you referring to?"

"You will figure out soon enough, my little dreamer."

"What do you mean by soon enough?"

"Nothing, it's just..."

"You said I would learn soon enough." I get to my feet and Aslan mimics. "You're loosing me more and more. What do you mean by soon enough?"

We stare at each other, the intensity gnawing at my heart. "I think you're entitled to know how you will go to my country." I hold my breath and it's as if the world stops. "You will die shortly after Lucy, Edmund and Peter do."

I back up and shake my head furiously. "But I can't," I mutter. "I can't, Aslan! That's the whole reason why you've brought me up! I have to be there for Susan after the accident! I can't just die! Then I would for sure leave her completely alone! Please, Aslan! She needs me!"

"She does need you," he calmly states. "That is why you shall die for her." I cover my forehead with my hand and try to comprehend everything. "You will be there for her in the darkest of times and I know you will save her and bring her back. Susan will live her life happily thanks to you and eventually, she will join you and I as well as everyone else in my country."

"And everything will work out in the end, won't it?"

"I promise."

"So, if I die, she'll live?"

"Yes."

"And she'll be alright once I pass?"

"Yes, for you will save her from herself before so."

"And what of my parents? Does this mean they'll lose me?"

"...Yes..But you will meet with them again some day. You, your parents, and your brother."

I sniff and nod my head. "May I...May I hug you, Aslan? I just really need some comforting right..." Before I can finish my sentence, I fall to my knees and begin to sob uncontrollably. Aslan kneels beside me and nuzzles his nose against my cheek. I throw my arms around him and bury my face in his thick mane. "W-when I was...younger, I u-u-used to imagine how l-life would be in the future. I-I always thought my parents and brother wou...would see me get married. I would ha-have kids and they would...they would have their own kids and I would g-grow old with my husband."

"Do you regret accepting this task?"

I briskly shake my head. "N-no! Never! It-It's just that I...I don't know anymore!"

"That's perfectly alright, Evalynn."

I take deep breaths and try to calm down. "It is?"

"It is," he repeats. "Tell me, what are you thinking?"

It takes me a while to gather the words. "That...That I'm a terrible person. I mean...Inside I feel as if my life was just ripped away from me in a matter of seconds but then I feel terrible because I realize I'm being selfish..."

"You're not being selfish. Allow me to tell you something. You're sacrificing so much for me, my dear."

"But you have already sacrificed so much for me already!"

"But I know you have so many wishes lingering in your heart. For everything you're doing, you will be rewarded in the long run. I promise you will be happy."

I play a smile on my face and loosen my grasp around Aslan. "Really?"

"Really." He steps back and looks at me with a great seriousness in his eyes. "The years will pass quickly so cherish them. You will know when the time to step up is for it will show itself. You will need to stay strong, my dear."

"I will, Aslan."

"Close your eyes. When you open them, you will be back in your own world. Say 'hello' to the others for me, please."

"Of course." My eyes scan the meadow one last time and I relax my shoulders. "And send my regards to Liam for me, please?"

Aslan's eyes grow softer. "I'll be sure too."

The sound of the flapping of bird wings fills my ears and I take in the Narnian air. "Aslan?"

"Yes?"

"When you said Liam found a friend...were you talking about Theo? ...If you were, could you please tell him I miss him also?"

I close my eyes and listen to the lion's deep chuckle. "I'll make sure of it." I feel at peace and think of Liam's last words to me.

"I'll wait for you. I promise I'll wait for you in Aslan's country."

hi:) It's been a while hasn't it, you lovely people? This chapter is pretty...afjlhashdf but idk, it's totally unnecessary yet very necessary? Does that make sense? I've been pretty down lately so I thought writing about something as magical as Narnia would help. Were you surprised to learn about Lynn's news? I think her chat with Aslan helped renew her strength so please follow along with the story! I really hope you enjoyed this chapter cause I must admit, I was a hot mess writing it(I was actually getting teary-eyed) I have a lot of background going on in my head so I'll be updating this story's spin-off very soon! Maybe things will make more sense? But yeah, I hope everyone has the best week and remember to smile! Review to make my day, please:)?

Much Appreciation xx
