Darkest of Hearts

Chapter Five|Narnia is Real

  Lucy stood smirking as her siblings looked around shocked. Lily started wide eyed at it all. Lucy was right it was beautiful.
  "Now who's imagining things" Lucy joked with her sister and brothers.
  "Lu is there anyway to say we're sorry" Peter asked.
   "No" Lucy said reaching down and taking a hand full of snow and throwing it at Peter. "But that might"
  "Oh it's on" Peter said throwing snow back at her.
   Lily and Susan looked at each other before joining in the snowball fight. Eventually Edmund got hit by accident.
  "Hey" Edmund said brushing the snow off his clothes.
  "Why you little liar" Peter  said remembering what Lucy said about Ed having come to Narnia to the night before. "So your sorry to Lucy."
   "Okay okay I'm sorry" Ed said with a hint of tone that said he wasn't.
  "I think we should go back" Susan said once the silence that had come from her brothers had gone on for a few minutes.
  "What no we should at least have a look around" Ed said.
  "I think Lucy should decided" Lily and Peter said in unison bring a smile to Lucy's face.
  "I wanted you wall to meet Mr Tumnus" Lucy squealed with joy.
  "Then Mr Tumnus it is" Peter said motioning for Lucy to lead the way.

  The five children came to a stop in front of a house. The door had been broken down and windows smashed. Lucy let out a gasp before running inside the house.
  "Lucy" Susan, Peter and Lily called after hr before following her into the house.
  Inside looked even worse then it did outside. Susan hold onto a crying Lucy as Lily looked around the house for any evidence of what happened. Peter then pinned a piece of paper from the door.
  "The former occupant of these premises, the Faun Tumnus" Peter read "is under arrest and awaiting trial on a charge of High Treason against her Imperial Majesty Jadis, Queen of Narnia, Chatelaine of Cair Paravel, Empress of the Lone Islands, etc., also of comforting her said Majesty's enemies, harboring spies and fraternizing with humans. Signed Maugrim, Captain of the Secret Police, LONG LIVE THE QUEEN."
  "Okay now we really must go" Susan said. "The Faun was arrest just for being with a human imagine what they'd do to us."
  "But we can't" Lucy shrieked surprising Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lily. "Don't you get it I'm the human. He was arrested for helping me."
  "Lucy what can we even do" Peter said. "These are the police"
  "Well we have to something" Lucy said.
   "Why should we?" Edmund asked. "I mean he's a criminal."
  A psst sound came from outside causing the two older  girls to stare out the broken door as the boys argued and Lucy watched.
  "Did that bird just Psst us?" Susan asked pulling the boys from their fight.
  "I think so." Lily said stepping outside.
   "I'm starting to think she's crazy" Ed said as the siblings followed their friend outside.
   "There's something in that bush" Lily said staring out as Peter walked in front of her with his hand.
  "Well I'm not going to smell it if that's what you want" a beaver did walking out from behind the bushes.
