The Spell in the Ice - Book 1

Chapter 1 - Meeting Lucy Pevensie

I'm sitting down by the lamppost, my favourite place in all of Narnia when suddenly, I hear footsteps and a branch snap. I grabbed my bow from next to me and hid behind a big tree. I looked back to see a small child standing next to the lamppost. I slowly emerged and approached.

'Hello,' I said. 'What's your name?'

'My name is Lucy. What's yours?' she responded.

'My name is Y/N. Tell me, Lucy, how did you get here?'

'Well we were playing hide and seek and...'

'We?' I interrupted. 'You have siblings?'

'Yes.' she responded. '1 sister and 2 brothers. We were playing hide and seek and I hid in the wardrobe in the spare room. I walked backwards trying to find the back of the wardrobe and I was here.'

'Spare room? Is that in Narnia?"

'Narnia? Is that where I am?" she asked.

'Yes. Are you a Daughter of Eve? Human?' I questioned.

'I am human.'

She is one of them. She and her siblings will save Narnia alongside me.

'Well then Lucy, you must be freezing. Come with me."

I take her to my house, where I live with Mr Tumnus.

I thought I heard something outside so I leave for a minute.

'It's not something I have done, Lucy Pevensie. It's something I am doing.' I hear when I walk back inside. 

'What are you doing?' Lucy asks. 

'I'm kidnapping you... It was the White Witch. She's the one who makes it alwayswinter, always cold. She gave orders. If any of us ever find a human wandering in the woods,we're supposed to turn it over to her!' He responds. 

'But, Mr Tumnus, you wouldn't. I thought you were my friend.'

'Oh Mr Tumnus, you promised you'd stop doing this.' I say.

'Now. She may already know you're here. The woods are full of her spies. Evensome of the trees are on her side! 

We step into the light of the lamppost.

'Can you find your way back from here?' I ask her 

'I think so.' 

'All right.' 

'Will you be alright?' 

Tumnus laughs nervously and Lucy comforts him. 

'Hey... hey... hey.' 

'I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Here.' He says. He tries to hand Lucy's handkerchief back.

'Keep it. You need it more than I do.' She responds, laughing slightly.

'No matter what happens, Lucy Pevensie, I am glad to have met you. You've mademe feel warmer than I've felt in a hundred years. Now go. Go!' 

Lucy runs off and Mr Tumnus and I return home.

Hey readers, pan1234girl here.

Question of the chapter: What should Y/N's weapon of choice be?

I know that's a strange question but I need help deciding.

I said I would take suggestions but since this is the first chapter, please only make suggestions that would be immediately inputted into the story. So nothing to do with the Battle towards the end for example.

Also, if you're reading this please let me know by responding in the comments so I know how many people actually want to read the rest of this story.

Thanks. Happy reading!
