(~) = Whispering

Y/N'S POV:

After dinner I decided to explore the manor. I went back to the spare room to check the wardrobe again. Something about how Lucy entered the closet at the exact same time i felt that chill just... didn't sit right with me.

I approached the wardrobe with caution fully expecting nothing to happen. But I had this lingering feeling that there was something there. Something I couldn't see. Or hear. Only feel. I opened the wardrobe. I felt a chill almost like... winter wind? I stepped inside the wardrobe and shuffled my way through to the back. It didn't stop.

Soon I felt... pine needles? I kept walking and sure enough here it was. The magic forest. I trust Lucy but if i'm being honest i was mostly trying to make her feel better. I felt the urge to explore. No one would know I was gone. Hours pass in seconds here.

But I fought that urge and thought about it. If I were to explore I would most likely get lost and if what Lucy told me at dinner was true there was an evil ice lady that isn't to kean on meeting " Children of Adam or Eve ". So as much as I wanted to explore these woods I turned around and shuffled my way back through the wardrobe.

Susan's POV:

I was looking for Y/N he said he was going to explore the manor, but I couldn't seem to find him anywhere. I wasn't going to call his name as the others would probably hear me and I could not listen to Peters teasing for weeks on end. As I was walking down the hall I heard shuffling in a room ahead. I got excited as it was probably Y/N. Who else would be searching the manor? As I got closer I began to recognize the doorway it was the spare oom with the wardrobe. What was Y/N doing in here? I opened the door and slowly stepped inside.

Susan(~): Y/N?

I don't know why I was whispering. Just felt like i should.

Y/N: Susan? What are you doing here?

Susan: I could ask you that same question Y/N.

He seemed nervous. Like he wanted to tell me something but felt like he shouldn't.

Y/N: ah.. um.. well you see.. um.. I was.. um.. checking the closest?

Susan: For what?

Y/N: I.. um.. didn't pack a winter coat? So i was seeing if there was one in my size? Yeah that's it.

Susan: Really? Are you sure?

Y/N: Yep. Yes. Mmh-hm, 100% sure.

Susan: Then why are your shoes wet?

Y/N: Ummm.. leaky ceiling?

I was kind of hurt. Did he not trust me or something?

Susan: Why won't you just tell me the truth? You know instead of lying?

Y/N: *deep sigh* 'Cause even if I did you wouldn't believe me. Not unless you saw it yourself.

Susan: Saw what?

Y/N: The forest in the wardrobe.

He said it so matter of factly it almost made me want to believe him. Almost.

Susan: Really the game Lucy was playing earlier?

Y/N: It wasn't a game. It never was. We were just to logical to see it.

Susan: Really. We checked the wardrobe there is no forest hidden in it.

Y/N: There is. But it's weird.

Susan: Weird?

Y/N: Yeah. It's not a place you can see or hear at first you have to feel for it. But trust me once your there it's like a whole new world. Pine trees covered in thick layers of snow. The ground cover in so much snow you could sink half way up to your knee.
