Into the Woods with You

Chapter One

Lucy ran out of the train station and onto the road, but as she did she nearly got hit by an oncoming car. Causing the car to stop and the driver to honk his horn at her.

"Watch yourself love." He shouted at her.

"I'm sorry." Lucy said as she continued across the road to her destination.

Susan was standing at the newspaper stand, reading an article when a boy around her age, walked up to her and started to speak to her.

"You go to Saint Finbar's?" The boy stated.

"That's right." Susan replied

"I go to Hendon House. Across the road." He said still looking at Susan with awe. "I've seen you... sitting by yourself." He said causing Susan to finally look up at the boy.

"Yes, well... I prefer to be left alone." Susan hinted.

"Me, too." The boy said obviously not understanding the hidden meaning to Sudan's words.

"What's your name?" He asked breathlessly causing Susan to roll her eyes.

"Phyllis." Susan replied.

"Susan!" Susan heard her sister shout causing her to turn around and face her sister. "You'd better come quickly." Lucy panted.

Susan looked at the boy, one last time before placing the article back on the stand. Grabbed her suitcase bag and quickly rushed across the road with Lucy by her side, towards the train station.

Inside the station a crowd was gathered chanting "fight" over and over again. As soon as Susan and Lucy arrived, Susan saw her older brother, Peter, fighting three other boys causing Susan to look on in disappointment.

Suddenly Susan felt herself being slightly pushed to the side causing her to look just in time to see her younger brother, Edmund, join the fight.

However, the fight didn't last long as a couple of men (to be honest I have no idea if they are army men or security men) came rushing over, stopping the fight.

"Act your age!" The one in charge said firmly to Peter before disappearing.

"You're welcome." Edmund said as he sat down on the seat next to his siblings.

"I had it sorted." Peter said rolling his eyes as he stood up.

"What was it this time?" Susan asked.

"He bumped me." Peter replied, not looking back at his siblings.

"So you hit him?" Lucy asked appalled.

"No. After he bumped me, they tried to make me apologise." Peter then turned around and faced his siblings. "That's when I hit him." Peter explained.

"Really? Is it that hard just to walk away?" Susan questioned.

"I shouldn't have to." Peter exclaimed. "I mean, don't you ever get tired of being treated like a kid?"

"Um, we are kids." Edmund sassed at Peter.

"Well, I wasn't always." Peter said, referring to Narnia, causing the other three siblings to look at each other. "It's been a year." Peter said sadly as he walked back to the seat. "How long does he expect us to wait?"

"I think it's time to accept that we live here." Susan imputed. "It's no use pretending any different." Susan finished.

"But, what about Nala?" Lucy questioned causing Peter's heart to clench at her name.

"What about her?" Susan questioned confused.

"She's back in Narnia, and has been for all this time." Lucy said causing Peter to look at his sister.

"For all we know, she could be either married off to someone or died." Susan said causing Peter to clench his fist tightly together, not wanting either of those two things to have happened.

"Oh, no." Susan muttered as she looked around and saw the same boy from the newspaper stand. "Pretend you're talking to me." Susan said looking back to her siblings.

"We are talking to you." Edmund sassed back, causing Susan to roll her eyes.

"Ow!" Lucy exclaimed as she jumped off the seat.

"Quiet, Lu." Susan said calmly.

"Something pinched me!" Lucy said.

"Hey, stop pulling!" Peter exclaimed as he too got off his seat.

"I'm not touching you." Edmund argued back.

"Look, would all of you just... What is that?" Susan said as she looked around once she felt the air.

"It feels like magic." Lucy said looking at her siblings.

"Quick, everyone hold hands." Susan said.

"I'm not holding your hand!" Edmund shouted over the sound of the train blaring.

"Just...." Frustrated Peter grabbed a hold of his brothers hand and connected his other hand with Susan's hand.

The Pevensie siblings, now all holding hands, watched in anticipation as to what is happening around them. Suddenly the everything that is surrounding them are starting to disappear and turn into a cave. The siblings watched on in shocked as the end of the train turned into the mouth of a cave, bright sunlight streaming in.

Walking out of the cave, they made their way onto a beach. When Lucy turned to the rest of her siblings with a mischievous smirk placed on her face, before a smile broke out on her face including her siblings.

All four siblings broke out into a run towards the water, giggling and laughing as they ran and took off some of their school clothing.

The four joylessly splashed around in the shallow water, having the times of their lives, happy to be back where they felt like they belong.
