The Ice Prisoner (A Narnian Story)

Chapter1

This is my first book so try to bare with me I am open to suggestions and request for events in the future chapters, hope you enjoy.

I woke up with a jolt, only to be meet with my tally wall. Thirteen. Thirteen tally's spread across the icy wall, tomorrow I'll be able to add a tally, marking fourteen years being caged up like a flightless bird.
As I stepped out of my bed, well more like two rags upon a rectangular cube, the icyness went to my feet freezing them. I walked over to the cell door waiting for breakfast. After waiting around for ten minutes the little dwarf came around the corner.

"Rumba your a bit late." I said.

I've always had to word my sentences wisely for he has a short temper and anything could set him off.

"There was a bit of a problem in the kitchen today, newbie messed up!" He grumbled.

Than a bowl of soup got pushed under the door along with a small round cup of water.

"What is it?"

"Don't know, think it's chicken maybe, who knows." He replied.

"Well that sounds nice.."

"Enjoy." Rumba sneered.

It actually tasted really good compared to the liquid I normally get. It filled the air with a delish chicken smell. Whoever the newbie is, I like him already.
I realised I almost ate it all, so I put some aside and waited for my little and only friend to visit.

*Squeak*tap*tap*squeak*

"Hello Kio how are you?" I ask look down at the mouse.

"Good as can be expected, you?"

"Fine thank you, breakfast was really nice, it's chicken!"

"Oh chicken, what's going on there?"

"There's a newbie." I explain.

"Ah nice may I try some?"

"Of course the rest is yours."

"Thanks Kat."

After Kio and I chat we say our goodbyes and I make my way back to bed and do what I normally do. Daydreaming about the whole world just out side these walls, the people I would meet and the site's I would see, although all I've see are the Ice wall surrounding me. But one day I know I get out and see the world, somehow I have a feeling that I am supposed to be out there experiencing all there is to experience.

Suddenly I got pulled out of my thoughts by a loud clanging noise followed by some shouting in the cell next to me. I hurried over to see who was there. It was a man with odd hoofy legs, I've never seen anyone like this before. He seemed really frightened and startled, I felt sorry for him because I'm used to living in a place like this, but someone else would probably hate it here and find it incredibly cold. I take another step closer.

"W-who's there!" He asks as I step into view.

"My name is Kathryn who are you?"

"The names Mr Tumnus." He says,  looking a bit relived, "Why are you in here?"

"I don't know, I've been here for as long as I can remember. What about you?"

"I am here because I helped a human." Mr Tumnus says.

"What's wrong with that?"

"It's complicated but she -uh the ice queen- informed and warned everyone if we ever find a human we should turn him or her in, instead I couldn't do it I felt sorry for her and she was so nice too."

"Why does she want human's?"

"Because if she captures them the prophecy won't come true."

"What prophecy is that?" I ask leaning on the metal bars.

"You sure ask a lot of questions."

"Well I haven't been outside this cell before, I don't know anything and nothing much happens around here." I say looking around.

"Fair enough, I'll explain it a bit later it's kind of a long story."

"Alright Mr Thomas we'll talk later, I'll let you rest."

"Thank you Kathryn."

I'm happy I've got someone to talk to but some of the others that have come through disappeared within a few days. I hope he'll stay for a bit longer he very polite unlike some others.

I went to my favorite corner of the jail cell and started thinking about tomorrow I guess it will be the fifteen year Mark. Fifteen long, sad, boring years stuck in here.

So first chapter yay
