Hello lovely readers I would like to apologise for how long it has been but exams have finished YAY! So I will be hoping to update a bit more over the summer.
SO thank you so much for clicking back onto my story and I really hope you enjoy this chapter.
Susan's POV:
After a few rough hours late last night I finally got some sleep, I woke up the following morning feel numb and confused. I couldn't really take it in this time, I knew that my thoughts of America would still be there no matter what, and I knew that we will still have to go. But I couldn't waste the last few days we all had together by just moping around and crying.
I saw the sun peeking through the curtains and smiled, if it was going to be our last day together we had to enjoy.
"Lucy!" I shouted running towards Lucy's bed, shaking her awake eager to wake her up. She rolled over planting her face into her pillow, I could her muffled mumbles and protests but I knew we couldn't waste today.
"Come on it's a beautiful day we have to get outside." I said running to our draws and picking out some clothes for the two of us. I threw a green floral skirt and white shirt on Lucy's bed and then ran to the vanity and began brushing my hair.
"Susan what are you doing?" asked Lucy, I turned to see her sat on her bed staring at me confused and blank.
"What do you mean Lucy?" I asked looking at her.
"Well, I just don't understand why you're so happy, we have to leave Susan, we have to go all the way to America, were going to be split up." Said Lucy her words slightly wobbling and wavering.
I walked over to Lucy and sat on her bed, "Look, of course I know it's hard, when would I ever want to be split up from you?" I said as she looked up at me.
"Never." She whispered, still upset as she looked at the floor.
"Exactly, I would never want that, ever. But there is really nothing we can do." I said defeated but I wasn't going to be naïve about it.
"But what about…" pleaded Lucy still being persistent about the magical land in the back of the wardrobe.
"Lucy, magic can't help us now, when have we ever been able to stop our father doing anything, his decision is always final." I said slowly realising how harsh our reality was turning out to be.
"But we can't go on like this forever Susan." Said Lucy looking at the floor.
"I know and we won't go on like this forever, one day we will be together, but we have to live in the present and we have to enjoy every day as it comes right?" I asked her.
She nodded.
"Well hurry up and get dressed then!" I said smiling at her as I ran back to the vanity as she began getting dressed.
Peter's POV:
I hadn't been able to sleep for most of the night, I couldn't stop thinking about her. Yes I had only met Susan a few weeks ago and yes I'm only young but she feels somehow special. Maybe it's because I feel sorry for them , I couldn't imagine a life without a mother, or a father.
I' d been pacing around the dining room for a good half an hours it said seven thirty on my watch and breakfast wasn't until eight so I knew this was going to be a long wait, just ,me and my thoughts. I had tried to wake up Ed but he refused and I didn't want to start the day with fighting, after all today wasn't going to be easy.
I took a seat at the table and waited for the girls, and Ed to come down.
About two minutes later I heard footsteps and excited murmurs as the girls walked in, both looking shocked to see me sat there.
"Good morning." I said happily, trying to mirror their happy mood.
"Morning, what are you doing down here at this time?" said Susan as she looked at me curiously but not quite meeting my eyes.
"Well, I thought it was such a lovely morning, why waste it in bed." I stated as they both took a seat on the opposite side of the table.
"I was just thinking the same thing, I see a full day of cricket ahead." Said Susan smiling, she seemed a lot happier after last night.
We sat there talking about cricket for about fifteen minutes. I found it admirable how positive Susan was, after what happened yesterday part of me wanted to ask her if she was okay but it was clear that she wanted to put everything behind her for today, I knew I wouldn't stop her doing that.
We were in the middle of a conversation about which part of the garden would be our cricket pitch, when Ed walked in being his usual anti-social self, staring at the floor only looking up when his breakfast was placed in front of him. However we continued the conversation without him until the end of breakfast.
After we finished we decided to go straight outside, after Edmund had finally agreed to play he joined me and Susan to set up a pitch. Lucy decided to go get her sketch pad as she didn't want to play cricket all day.
Lucy's POV:
I was running up the stairs to mine and Susan's room when I heard the telephone ring in Mrs Mcready's office so I slowed down, trying not to make any noise, I wasn't intending to listen in until I heard something.
"Hello Mr Pevensie."
"Yes your daughters have received the letter, sir."
"Their chaperone will be here at what time?"
"Good sir they will be packed and ready for eleven o'clock."
"Thank you sir goodbye."
Someone was coming for us today, we had to escape this now I didn't want to be together with Susan in the future, I had to be with her now.
I ran down the other set of stairs away from Mrs Mcready and sprinted out into the garden right in the middle of a cricket game, ducking under a strong overarm through from Edmund.
"Susan!" I shouted struggling for breath.
They stopped the game all three of them staring at me, as if I was going insane.
"Lucy what's wrong?" asked Susan looking at me nervously.
"I just heard Mrs Mcready on the phone Susan we have to go now!" shouted Lucy tugging at Susan's arm.
Susan stopped suddenly keeping hold of Lucy's hand.
"Lucy where are we going what is happening with Mrs Mcready?"
Lucy stood still and decided to explain,
"Susan. I heard Mrs Mcready talking with father on the phone, she said someone was coming to pick us up at eleven." Said Lucy rushing through her words.
Susan stood there for a moment frozen looking at her, "Lucy are you sure?"
"Posotive.", she wouldn't lie about this.
There was another pause before Lucy began again.
"Susan we should go to Narnia." Said Lucy her eyes clear and serious.
"Lucy…" Susan started.
"Susan please you have to trust me on this, please." Lucy looked up at her sister pleading with her eyes.
Susan was about to object again until a large black car came driving up towards the house, they all know what and who it was.
They all looked at each other and Peter and Susan surrendered following Lucy to the famous wardrobe.
We ran up all the stairs in the house and through every corridor, the walls and floors were all flying into one as the colours and materials blended into one.
They finally reached the spare room and say the famous wardrobe, it was an old oak wood wardrobe beautifully decorated it was huge, beautiful, the only thing in the room.
They all looked at each other and one by one entered the wardrobe.
Thank you for reading please review and give my any hints tips or suggestions.
Love and best wishes missmusicaltheatre3.
