chapter 1

Edmund

WE HAVE BEEN at Professor Kirkes manor for a day and I already hated it. It was too big with no homey feeling to it. I missed Finchley and my parents. My mother had yet to write to us regarding our fathers whereabouts and it had taken a toll on us. We are currently sat downstairs as Susan tried to quiz Peter whilst Lucy started longingly at the rain and I carved my initials underneath one of the chairs in the sitting room.

"Come on Peter, Gas-tro-vac-ular." Susan said to a rather bored looking Peter.

"Is it Latin?" He said making me come up with a quick remark.

"Is it Latin for worst game ever invented?" I said with a smirk on my face making my older sister slam her book shut and glare at me.

"We could play hide and seek." Lucy said turning the attention towards her instead.

"But we're already having so much fun." Peter said sarcastically making me slightly chucked as Susan glared at him. This resulted in Lucy begging Peter to play hide and seek as I hope he would say no until he started counting making me angry.

Susan, Lucy and I ran around the house trying to find a spot to hide in when Lucy was following me very closely making me speed up so I could get a hiding spot. We had reached the curtains and I flung myself behind them so I could stay hidden. "I was here first." I said which made Lucy carry on and run further down the hall to find a hiding spot. Peter had nearly finished counting when Lucy shouted and came running back.

"It's okay. I'm Back. I'm alright." She screamed letting Peter know where she was hiding as she ran towards me.

"Shut up, he's coming." I told her as soon as Peter came into view making me annoyed as this was Lucy's idea and she ruined both of our chances at winning.

"You know I dont think you two have quite gotten the idea of this game." Peter said looking slightly confused about what was going on.

"But weren't you wondering where I was?" Lucy asked making me slightly more annoyed with her.

"That's the point, that's why he was seeking you!" I snapped back furious I have been forced to play this game because of Lucy than her getting confused about the game.

"Does this mean I win?" Susan asked with a smile on her face as she clearly heard us talk.

"I dont think Lucy wants to play anymore." Peter told Susan as I saw Lucy become even more confused.

"But I've been gone for hours?" She announced making us all confused as she hadn't even been a minute. She then began to tell us about the upstairs wardrobe lead to a land called Narnia which allowed her to meet a faun who warned her of the possibility of the white witch wanting to take over Narnia and kill her. Because of how much it looked like she was telling the truth we all went towards the wardrobe and found nothing inside letting us know she was lying.

"The only wood back here is the back of the wardrobe." Susan told Lucy also clearly annoyed with this happening.

"One game at a time Lu, we don't all have your imagination." Peter said as well all began to walk out of the attic room leaving an angry Lucy behind us.

"But I wasn't imagining!" Lucy shouted at us making us all irritated with this nonsense. "I wouldn't lie about this!"

"Well I believe you." I announced making all of my siblings look at me confused. "Didn't I ever tell you about the football field I found in the bathroom cupboard." I joked making all of my siblings annoyed with me even though I was just trying to lighten up the mood.

"Oh would you just stop" Peter said making me turn to look towards him as I found an annoyed expression on his face. " You just make everything worse don't you!"

"It was just a joke!" I argued back as I found it ridiculous that Peter was now having a go at me for trying to lighten up the mood.

"When are you going to learn to grow up."

"Shut up! You think you're dad but you're not!" I shouted in his face and stormed out of the room. Ever since the war happened and our father got drafted to war, Peter decided he would take dad's position and become the man of the house which annoyed me so much because he couldn't just replace dad not matter how much he tries to. I walked to my room shutting the door behind me and started preparing for bed as I didn't want to deal with my siblings for the rest of the day.
