Cut (Prince Caspian Love Story)

The answer

I woke up the next morning realizing that I was still in my closet. I had cried myself to sleep. It was now a Saturday morning so it was okay that I had slept in.

I decided to head downstairs to make breakfast but the second that I opened my closet door I was hit by a huge wall of water. I started to panic, what am I supposed to do? 'I'm going to die' I thought to myself.

I began looking for a way out but there were no windows in my closet. I had no way to escape. I decided to just close my eyes and hold my breath.

Once I was fully underneath the water I instinctively began to swim up to the top, still knowing in the back of my mind that it didn't matter, there was no way out of this. I could feel my lungs burning, I wouldn't last much longer.

Little did I know how wrong I was. I saw a light when I looked up, I swam towards it confused 'there was no way that my closet was this big' it wasn't possible. Once I got to the top I realized that I was no longer in my small closet, but I was outside, in the middle of the ocean. It wasn't too long after I came up that I had spotted a ship. A big beautiful one. I began to swim towards it praying that they would be kind and help me.

"Hey!" I yelled. "Over here!! Please help!!"

I stopped when I knew that somebody spotted me. He was a young man with short, messy, brown hair. He looked around the age of 15. I heard him yelling to the others and the next thing I noticed was a man with shoulder length deep brown hair started walking towards the edge of the ship. He was was a strikingly handsome man. One that would only exist in your dreams. Which is what I believe this all is, is a dream.

The man jumped into the ocean and swam towards me. I was a bit scared and unsure as to if I could trust this man but I didn't have much of a choice, seeing as I wasn't exactly fond of swimming with sharks.

He gently put his hand on my arm asking if I was okay. I slightly nodded, panicked. Hold onto me and we will be pulled up, alright?" He told me slightly smiling. Probably wondering how I got here too. I began to notice that we were being pulled up and I sighed with relief knowing that I was at least safe for now.

I couldn't help but keep asking myself questions. Who are these people? Where am I? How on earth did I end up here?

Was this the answer that I have been waiting for? The answer to my prayers?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once on board I was quickly wrapped with a towel by the same man that had rescued me. I turned around shivering only to realize that all eyes were on me.

I just stood there awkwardly just waiting for somebody to speak up. Sure enough, someone did. I spotted a young girl whispering to the first boy I had seen and I heard her ask "who is she? Is she from here?"

The boy then spoke "what is your name?" He asked me.

"Renee" I spoke silently.

"I have no idea how I got here. I know that this is going to sound odd but I was just home, all I did was go to open my closet door when water came rushing through and the next thing I know is that I'm here up here" I finished nervously.

Everyone's eyes remained on me, but I soon noticed a faint smile forming on the faces of the young girl and boy. I was very confused at this point.

"Well I'm Lucy, Lucy Pevensie" the girl said "and this is my brother Edmund" she stated pointing to the boy at her side.

"You are in a place known as Narnia, but we come from the same place as you, we got here only yesterday almost the exact same way only the water came from a painting." she finished.

"Narnia?" I say. "Where on earth is that?" I asked curiously, never hearing of such a place.

"Narnia is a place for the brave, you wouldn't be here unless Aslan had willed for it to be so." I heard a new voice, I didn't recognize it or see where it had come from.

"Who said that?" I asked curiously, looking all around.

"It was me, Reepicheep." The voice responded, this time I could see who it came from, but I must have been mistaken.

"That isn't possible." I pointed out. I must be losing my mind.

"Mice don't talk." I slightly stuttered.

"Well here they do. You will see lots of new things here in Narnia that you may not be quite used too" said the same man that had rescued me.

"I'm Caspian." he stated, finally introducing himself.

'Caspian' I thought. Much different than any name I've ever heard

"King Caspian" said Reepicheep correcting the man.

"And that there is High King Edmund and High Queen Lucy. Welcome aboard the Dawn Treader miss Renee." He finished proudly.

In desperate need of clarity I spit out all that I was thinking to double check that this was really happening. "So correct me if I'm wrong but you mean to tell me that I am on a ship in a magical land that not I nor anyone I know has ever heard of before with the Kings and Queen aboard along with a talking mouse, and who knows what other magical talking creatures?" I finished nearly passing out from the lack of oxygen in my lungs after that long speech.

"Oh, we forgot to mention our arrogant, whiny, and self centered cousin Eustace. But other than that, you've got it all down." Said Edmund trying not to laugh.

"We'll isn't this all just grand" I sarcastically retorted. I was completely clueless as to why I was here and who in the world this "Aslan" was seeing as he is somehow responsible for my presence here.
