Into the Wardrobe with You

Chapter Seven

NALA'S POV

The four Pevensie siblings and I were walking through the cold snow for a few minutes before we came into a clearing. It was the same clearing that had the lamppost in, which brought a smile to my face. The four siblings and I stopped at the lamppost and stared at it, the other three stared with amazement.... well I'm not sure that Edmund is enjoying himself, because he doesn't seem to be happy at the moment... Oh well.

Lucy and I both shared excited grins on our faces, as we saw that Susan and Peter were enjoying themselves. It was nice to know that they believed their sister now, not like yesterday. Lucy grabbed my arm and Peter's arm and pulled us away from the lamppost, causing me to giggle as she let go of our arms. Smiling fondly at her, we continued to trek our way towards Mr Tumnus's house, which are located inside the cliffs.

As we were walking, Peter started to walk next to me. Making me glance at him in the corner of my eyes and saw that he was glancing around everywhere, smiling. Which made me happy for some reason. I don't know why but the reason why Peter smiling made me feel all happy inside, for some weird reason.... but I couldn't help but feel as if, I liked the reason why Peter was happy and smiling.

'He looks so cute, smiling like that.' I thought to myself and mentally sighed.

But everything seemed to crumble down on me, like a ton of bricks. I, Nala Kirke, just called a boy who I've only known for like what? Two to three days, cute. Well, I gotta admit that he is kind of attractive, with his tousled blonde hair and bright blue eyes that I could get lost in forever. Really, I'm serious! I have a thing for boys who have blue eyes, it's something to do with the blue eyes, that really draw you in. Once you look into their eyes you seemed to be stuck in a void, with no way out. As their piercing gaze stared into your own, you can't but help to stare at them in wonder. How can such an eye colour (such as blue) hypnotize you, drawing you in and never letting you go.

Shaking those thoughts out of my head,  I continued walking next to Peter next to me, with Lucy on the other side of me. After a few moments we came to a steep slope, which Peter decided it would be fun to roll down, which cause all us three girls to giggle at how silly Peter looked. Peter looked up at me and gave me a small warm smile which caused me to blush, but since it was cold. It just looked like my cheeks were cold.

'How does a boy such as Peter, have this affect on me?' Was the only thought I could think of, as we continued walking after Peter decided to walk again.

~Le Mini Time Skip~

"... lots and lots of lovely food, and we'll have lots and lots of..." Lucy suddenly stopped talking which caused myself to gasp as I saw Mr Tumnus's door.

"Lu? La?" Peter asked when he saw that Lucy and I have stopped.

Lucy and I suddenly made a mad dash towards the door, leaving behind the other siblings.

"Lucy! Nala!" Peter yelled out our names but we paid no mind to it as we continued to run to get to the door, I heard the others following but I just continued to run.

We all entered the house and saw that everything that was once standing now and that everywhere you look everything is smashed or flipped over. I grabbed Peter's hand out of horror, I didn't pay any attention to when Peter had a blush on his face or  when he looked down at our intertwined hands. We all walked into the house very slowly, I was almost on the verge of tears. I mean who would do this to Mr Tumnus?

"Who would do something like this?" Lucy said softly causing myself to grab her shoulder with my spare hand and giving it a gentle squeeze.

"I'm not sure Lu, but whoever it is we can't trust anybody." I said softly.

Peter suddenly let go of my hands which made my hands to go cold from the lack of warmth, which caused me to frown a bit. I saw that Peter was walking towards the wall were there is a piece of parchment hanging there. Peter tore it off the wall and walked back over towards me and put his arm around my waist pulling me in closer.

"The Faun Tumnus is hereby charged with high t reason against her imperial majesty, Jadis, Queen of Narnia, for comforting her enemies and fraternizing with humans. Signed Maugrim, Captain of the Secret Police. Long live the Queen." Peter read aloud from the parchment.

Susan grabbed the piece of parchment out of Peters hand before looking over it while I looked down to Lucy with a small sad smile on my face.

"All right. Now we really should go back." Susan said looking at Peter and I.

"But what about Mr Tumnus?" Lucy asked with a frown on her face.

"If he was arrested just for being with humans, I don't think there's much we can do." Susan said.

"You don't understand, do you?" I said causing Susan and Peter to look at me with confusion.

"Nala and I are the human. She must have found out he helped us." Lucy said grabbing my hand, I gave her hand a reassuring squeeze before looking at Peter because he was about to speak.

"Maybe we could call the police." Peter stupidly said.

"These are the police." Susan said.

"Don't worry, Lu and Nala. We'll think of something." Peter said, as he squeezed my waist for comfort.

"Why?" Edmund said suddenly, causing us all to look at him with questioning looks on our faces. "I mean, he's a criminal." Edmund finished causing me to sigh.

As we stood in silence, thinking about different things. I'm worried, how did Jadis know that Mr Tumnus was talking to us? As I was thinking a bird flew towards a branch and 'psst' us, which seemed to snap me out of my thoughts. Looking at the four siblings, the five of us held confused looks on our faces as we have never heard an animal speak before. But then again we are in Narnia, so anything could happen.

"Did that bird just 'psst' us?" Susan questioned causing me to roll my eyes.

"No Susan, the bird is obviously trying to fart out a rainbow, whilst capturing a unicorn at the same time, while getting devoured by a fox." I sarcastically said, which she just rolled her eyes at me.

I looked up at Peter and saw that he had a raised eyebrow looking at me, but I could see that he was holding back a laugh when I saw that his lips are twitching, I smiled before getting out of his grasp and started to head outside, the others following behind me.

Once outside the bird flew away causing Peter to then grab my arm pulling me back behind him. Suddenly we heard the twigs snapping and footsteps against the ground, it sounded big and coming closer. Everyone was huddled together but I got a feeling that we aren't going to get hurt.

After a few seconds had past, the creature that was making all of the ruckus, came out from behind the snow pile and I just stood there. Staring in shock, it was as if I knew him. But that was kind of impossible as I've never seen this creature before in my whole entire life. But then again, this is Narnia, and anything can happen in it. But, why? Why does this creature look so familiar.
