The Untold story of the Witch's children

Chapter 3: The Wardrobe

The next day we we in the study room. It was raining so we were stuck inside. Lucy was sitting next to the window, while Edmund was lying on the ground. Peter, Susan, and I were on the couches.

Susan had a book in her lap and she asked Peter and me words in Latin asking us what they meant.

"Gastrovascular." Susan said."Come on Peter."

"Is it Latin?" Peter inquired.

"Yes." Susan said.

Edmund then piped up."Is it Latin for worst game ever?"

Peter chuckled as I tried to hide a smile. Susan slammed the book rather angrily.

"We can play hide and seek." Lucy suggested.

"But we're having so much fun." I said sarcastically.

Susan rolled her eyes and Lucy begged to play the game.

"Pretty please." She begged.

"One, two, three, four." Peter said as he got up.

"What?" Edmund asked shocked.

"Come on, let's go." I said helping him up.

With that we all ran in different directions and I found Lucy and Edmund near the stairs.

Edmund quickly took the curtains and pushed Lucy out of the way.

"I was here first." Edmund sneered.

Lucy had a sad face and I walked over to her grabbing her hand.

"Come on Lucy, let's go pick a hiding spot together." I suggested.

"Alright!" She beamed.

Lucy and I tried to open the doors upstairs, but they were all locked. I tried opening one door and it was unlocked.

"Lucy, in here." I whispered.

It was an empty room with nothing but a white sheet covering something. Lucy and I pulled off the sheet revealing a marvellous wardrobe.

Lucy and I climbed into the wardrobe. As we went further into the wardrobe, I felt a poke. I turned to see a forest covered in snow.

"Lucy." I gasped."Look."

"Whoa." She gasped.

We walked further into the forest to see a lamppost. All of the sudden we heard a noise and footsteps. They came closer and the owner of the footsteps approached us.

The three of us screamed. He was a man with an umbrella with fury legs and hoofs. He hid behind a tree while I placed Lucy behind me at the lamppost.

Lucy walked in front of me and towards the man.

"Lucy." I said in a half whisper.

She paid no attention to me and made her way towards him. I reluctantly followed and the man eventually showed himself to us.

Lucy picked up a package which he had dropped and she handed it to him. He took it with ease.

"Were you hiding from me?" Lucy asked him.

I now got a better look at him. I don't know why but he seems familiar. He had a red scarf, a small beard, brown curly hair, and a pair of horns on his head.

"No, it's just I-I-I." He stuttered as he gathered his things."I just didn't want to scare you."

"Here allow me to help you with the rest." I offered.

"No, that's alright." He replied."I can get it."

However, I scooped up the packages that remained on the ground.
