*Emma*

"I've finished grandpa" i smiled going over to his desk and giving his my mathematic book he smiled taking it from me and checking it.

"Brilliant as always Emma brilliant as always" i grinned as he closed the book.

"you are dismissed for today have fun" i kissed his cheek and bid my goodbye before leaving a yelp brought me out of my daydream Mrs Macready stood there with four children two looked around my age the other two younger.

"Oh Miss Kirk you gave me a fright" she had her hand to her chest the gust were trying to stifle laugher i smiled

"Sorry Mrs Macready i didn't mean to. I tell you what why don't you let me show our guests around I'm sure you have something else to be doing" she nodded

"Yes i have actually well i hope you will inform them of the rest of the rules and dinner is at seven" she waltzed off i looked back to the others.

"Now for proper introductions I'm Emma the Professors granddaughter" i held out my hand the eldest looking boy took it.

"I'm Peter Pevensie these are my sister Susan and Lucy and my brother Edmund" i shook the others hand and smiled at the youngest Lucy who looked a little scare i bent down to her level.

"Don't worry this place is not as scary as it looks" she smiled and i offered my hand she took it and i lead the others to their rooms.

"So how old are you Emma" Susan asked

"13 almost 14" i answered looking back she nodded we stopped in the hall.

"okay this room here is Peter and Edmund's room in the middle is my room and on the other side is Susan and Lucy's room like Macready said dinner is at seven is there any questions" i asked

"Will we be able to come into you room" Lucy asked i laughed

"Of course Lucy, you know i think you and me will become the best of friends. That goes for all of you it's refreshing to have someone my own age to talk to." i beamed

"Thank you Emma" Peter and Edmund went into their room while Susan took Lucy i went in my own room to read. At some point i must have fallen asleep because little giggle woke me up my eyes fluttered open to meet Lucy.

"Oh sorry Lucy i must have fallen asleep" i sat up closing my book.

"Its okay come on we're going to sit in the boys room until dinner" i fixed my hair

"Okay let's go then." she took my hand and headed to the boys room i sat down.

"So tell us more about you Emma" Peter asked as he sat up looking really interested

"What would you like to know?" i asked making myself comfortable

"About how became to be here are your parents in the war as well" Edmund spoke for the first time around me my smile dropped.

"err no i was an Orphan my parents abandoned me shortly after i was born only leaving a first name and my birthday when i was one Grandpa adopted me." i looked down i didn't like saying i was adopted i was raised as a Kirk and always treated like one.

"Oh were sorry" Susan said

"Its alright i love it here this is my home and i wouldn't change it for the world." i smiled brightly

"But you must surely go to school." i chuckled

"Well i did...but when i was in school i might have accidently glued my teacher to the desk and been disruptive." i shrugged i never really saw eye to eye with my teachers.

"Really" Edmund bolted up now interested.

"Yes according to Grandpa seen as the work was too easy and the teachers never gave me a challenge it what lead me to that...incident it was actually quite funny. But since then I've been home schooled i like it Grandpa gives me a challenge." i chirp.

"Why do you call him Grandpa" Lucy asked.

"No idea i just do I've always called him it since i was able to talk" it was time to go down for dinner and when i had finished Peter help me with the dishes.

"So what's your story then? ... If i might ask" i questioned while still washing.

"There is nothing much too it I'm the eldest out of four my father went to war while my mum is at home" he answered while he was drying.

"this war won't last forever beside it's all about one man's quest for a doomed dream no one is meant to rule the world its why god created independence and free will" i replied

"You know for a 13 year old girl you're very wise." he chuckled

"I get that a lot" we finished and headed upstairs where i changed into my night dress then went to say goodnight.

"Goodnight Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter" they all turned to me Lucy was upset

"Is everything all right."

"Yes thank you. Goodnight Emma" Peter replied i nodded and went to bed falling asleep.
