The Choice

The train station

After we returned home, normal life continued that means that my siblings have to go to school and I had to start working. Because I wanted to keep an eye on my siblings I chose to work in a hospital near their school doing that we could take the train together and I got to spend more time with them. Today was an ordinary day like any other, or so I thought...

Susan and I were standing at a stall where they sold newspapers, both lost in our thoughts when suddenly this boy came up to her. He looks funny with his glasses and hat. Susan was clearly agitated by him and didn't want to talk to him however he didn't understand her clues that she wanted to be alone. The boy just kept talking and talking and talking....

I wasn't listening until suddenly he asks her name:

" What's your name?" the boy asked.

To my surprise Susan answered "Phyllis".

Really Susan, you couldn't come up with anything better?

Suddenly I hear a voice saying: " Maria, Susan you better come quickly!"

" Saved by the bell" I mumbled

I immediately knew what was happening and so did Susan.

Susan and I run after Lucy into the train station and there he was fighting a couple of guys.

I wonder what Peter did this time, this kid really needs some yoga classes to chill the f out. He gets mad at others for the smallest things, maybe I could –

"Edmund!" Lucy yelled.

" You're kidding me" I exclaimed

Edmund ran up to Peter to help him fight the boys but they were both hit badly, I couldn't stand it anymore. I run up to the boy that was hitting Peter and smacked him.

Okay, one down and only a couple more of these assholes to go

I approach the guy that was about to hit Edmund,

"Don't even think about it" I said and kneed him.

I was looking at Peter when I felt a punch across my face and within a second I felt the cold floor underneath my face. Peter came to the guy that had hit me,

" No one lays a finger on my sister, anyone who does is just suicidal" he said while he punched the guy in his stomach. I was zoning out till I hear whistling coming from two officers, they pulled Peter from the guy. " Act your age!" one of them said. Peter came to me and helped me stand " Are you okay?" he asked while brushing my lip that had a nasty cut on it caused by the ring the boy was wearing.

"I'm good" I lied, Peter noticed it but he knows it's no use pointing it out.

" Thank you tho, me and Ed would've been mashed potatoes without your help."

Peter admitted. "You're welcome, anything for my little brother." I chuckled while messing up his hair. We walked to a bench and sat down waiting for our train to arrive. "What was it this time?" Susan asked Peter. "He bumped me" he said calmly. "So you hit him?!" Lucy said shocked. "No. After he bumped me, they tried to make me apologize. That's when I hit him." "Is it that hard to just walk away" Susan irritably asked the oldest brother. "I shouldn't have to. I mean don't you ever get tired of being treated like a child?" he answered.

"Um, we are kids" Ed snorted.

"I wasn't always" Peter said

Here we go again

" It's been a year, how long does he expect us to wait?" he questioned.

"Who?" I question but I'm just being ignored by my siblings.

" I think it's time to accept that we live here. It's no use pretending any different" Susan said.

" Okay enough!" I yelled " what the hell did this professor gave you, weed?!".

Before any of my siblings got the chance to answer, Lucy started yelling something pinched her. " Quiet, Lu" Susan hushed. I thought Lucy was just joking until Peter began yelling at Edmund to stop pulling . "Look, would all of you just...What is that?" Susan said. "Okay would all of you just shut up, if this is some sick prank to make me believe in this Narnia shit, just drop it already!" But then the walls started peeling off. " Magic" Lucy exclaimed enthusiastically.

Dude I am related to crackheads, however they were right this isn't normal.

Me and my siblings held hands just like Susan suggested, I closed my eyes for a fraction of a second. When I opened them I was standing in a cave.

"What the fu-" I said when Susan interrupted me " Language!".

Am I high or something

Lucy turned to me with a cocky smile " Maria, do you believe in this Narnia shit now?"

" I- I don't know, I need some time to process this".

I have this strange feeling in my stomach, this place feels like home even though I know nothing about it
