Christmas Short Story Prompts

Dec 17th; All I want for Christmas

I Do not own any of the characters or places mentioned, I am just having a bit of fun with them for a little while!

This story was written in correlation with MagicofNarnia's posted prompt list, which also does not belong to me.

Lucy age, 14

Lucy sat by a window that overlooked the front of the castle of Cair Parevel, and watched the snow fall.

But she wasn't really interested in the snow at the moment, though it was a welcome sight.

Instead, she was hoping to spot the arrival of her two older brothers, as well as her friend and surrogate older brother Alex. They had been away, dealing with a group of the fell that had been plaguing several small towns to the west, for the past three weeks.

In Peter's last letter, he had been unsure if they would be able to make it home in time for Christmas, but Lucy desperately hoped he was wrong.

They had always been together at Christmas, how could they even have Christmas, if they were not here?

Couldn't Aslan just make it happen?

All she wanted for Christmas was for her family to be together again.

Suddenly she saw them, and with a shout of joy, she leapt from the window sill and ran through the castle, shouting excitedly that the army returned.

By the time she reached the door, Susan had joined her and together they went to meet their brothers.

Peter, Edmund, and Alexander were met by the two excited sisters.

While Peter hugged Susan, Edmund and Alexander wrapped Lucy in a double hug, with her giggling from within.

Lucy thought with a smile, "I really did get all I wanted for Christmas!"
