Hey there sorry if it has been a while but I've been very busy and I have also tried to wrote a valentines story which I hoped you all enjoyed, despite it being very rushed (I will do better next year promise xxx)
Quick note I will be changing Lucy's age to 8 rather than nine since her ninth birthday will be come up in one of the next chapters.
Any way the song, (sorry could only think of one please review any others.) for this chapter are,
On our way, (Go for the Glee version!)I think this song shows a real journey and it's quite uplifting to the story.
Enjoy, see you at the bottom of the page.
The steam train seemed to stop for the children they were going to live together, it was almost like destiny, little did they know it was definitely destiny.
"How strange, I didn't expect to be with any body else, I thought it would just be me and Lucy." said Susan staring at her label her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
Peter was doing the same to his as he agreed with Susan, " Me neither, although I have to say I feel sorry for you two being stuck with Ed."
Edmund unfolded his arms and thumped Peter on the arm, "Hey."
"Just a joke!" Peter said in defence.
Susan smiled softly, as did Lucy who had not smiled for the entire journey, in fact the girl had only sat there clasping her teddy bear, staring at Peter and Edmund with her light brown eyes full of curiosity and wonder.
Peter sat back in his seat and decided once again to make conversation with Susan, he was strangely fascinated by her the way she looked at sat, she just looked like she had a huge story to tell.
"So what school do you go to." he asked Susan.
"Me and Lucy go to London's girls school." she replied smiling politely.
"How strange me and Edmund go to the boys school." Peter said smiling.
"I wish I didn't have to." moaned Edmund.
For the first time in the journey Lucy sat up and began to speak shyly,
"Do we have to go to school now anyway?"
Susan looked across at Peter, she was unsure herself on the answer to this,
"I presume not Lucy." said Peter shrugging his shoulders.
Lucy smiled as Edmund pulled his body up on his seat.
"Well that's the only positive of this ghastly situation."
Peter sighed, he really wished his brother would not bring that up,
"Edmund stop bringing that up."
Edmund sighed and looked at the floor accepting his guilt,
"Sorry."
Soon the train pulled up to the station with the white sign with black letters spelling out Coombe, the children hurried of the train quickly and watched it fly past as they stood on the small platform unsure on what to do next.
Susan held onto Lucy's hand as she looked around they had been the country before, well of course they had they had lived in seven different places thanks to her, well her father. She looked at Peter who was looking around everywhere, so was his brother Edmund, they had obviously not been to the country before, well not in a while, they both had lived pretty normal lives probably.
"Have you ever been to the country before." she shouted quietly through the wind.
"No, only once on holiday we were only little." said Peter as he walked slowly across the white platform.
His mother had told him about the country, the air the lush fields he knew it would be good, but not this good. The stuffy confines of London where he called home seemed so far away now, in fact everything did, everything was so much more natural and brighter, the clouds looked so pure and the sky was clear, no search lights or blimps or planes it was practically paradise, well to him.
Edmund however was staring curiously at his label, Lucy had been curious of him the whole journey, she had never really come across many boys before, living just with Susan and their aunt and going to an all girls school, she had never really spoken to any at all, but Edmund seemed strange even so very different to Peter even thought they were brothers, yet she and Susan were very different. Lucy brushed her thoughts aside and began to speak to Edmund.
"What are you doing." she asked.
He turned at her in surprise but only for a second until he looked back and his label and then the road,
"I'm checking my label isn't it obvious."
Lucy but her lip she was still confused,
"Why?"
Edmund rolled his eyes at her, she was annoying, yet he was too.
"I think we were incorrectly label we've been stood in the platform for what twenty minutes and nobody has come yet."
As if on cue the sound of a car was heard by them all as it approached the station. They all grabbed their bags and ran down the four white station steps and Lucy stuck her arm out to the car, as sadly it drove past.
They all sighed.
"I hope were in the right place." said Susan holding onto Lucy's hand pulling her off the edge of the track.
Peter mind ticked suddenly as he said suddenly,
"Wait, mother said something about a woman called Mrs McCredie meeting us from the house."
Edmund sighed remembering,
"Why didn't I remember that."
Susan sighed shaking her head,
"Well we were told nothing." she smiled awkwardly.
"As usual." she said under her breath.
seconds later a woman pulled up in a carriage pulled by a pure white horse and pulled up to the station in front of them all.
"Mrs McCredie?" Peter questioned.
"I'm afraid so." the woman answered, she had a clear Scottish accent.
Lucy looked up at her she looked pretty frightening she had tight skin and a high forehead her eyes were beady and seemed to be glaring down on Lucy, even though it was only Lucy and in fact they weren't.
"Come along." ordered the woman as they all got on the carriage, Peter helped Lucy and Susan with their bags.
The ride had only lasted a few minutes, both Peter and Susan thought they could have walked their, but the house was so grand, to all four off them it was the biggest they had ever seen in their life. None of them knew how much this house, or what was in it would affect their lives forever.
Quick question, do you think they should continue the Narnia films, and if they did would you still go see them if they did not have the original cast, William, Anna, Ben, Georgia and Skandar in the film?...
Please review!
