Daughter of Aslan

10.

"OUCH Peter!" Edmund shrieked as Peter threw a ball at him. The ball hit him in his face as his reaction was too slow to shield himself.

"You were supposed to catch the ball, silly!" Peter laughed, amused by the lack of his brother's sportiness.

"Ha. Ha. Ha. Very funny Peter." Edmund rolled his eyes, his hand caressing the spot on his face where the ball hit him. It hurt a little.
Lucy and Susan just giggled along with Peter.

"Now throw the ball back, I will give you another change, okay?"
Peter yelled.

"Right." Edmund muttered.

As he was quite irritated, he threw the ball very hard, and Peter wasn't able to catch it. The ball hit a window, causing the window to break.

This didn't go as planned.
Lucy, Peter, Susan and Edmund gasped, and ran inside, to the room where the window had been broken.

Once they were there, they gasped again. It wasn't a pretty sight.

"Oh no.. Edmund." Susan sighed, glass was shattered around the floor. This wasn't a hole that was easy to fix, and it definitely wasn't one that could be covered up easily.

Mcready would find out soon, there was no way to work around that.
And once she does, the Pevensie children would be grounded forever.

"What are we gonna do now?" Lucy asked her brothers and sister in shock.

Before anyone could answer, they heard footsteps but they weren't able to hear from which way.

"Shit, that will probably be Mcready. Run!" Peter quietly yelled, motioning his siblings to move along with him.

In a queue of 4 they run on stairs, but they were going for and backwards. It almost seemed like the footsteps came from everywhere.

After the whole chaos, there was only one room left on the hall in which they could hide.

The room with the wardrobe.

Lucy ran into the room as first, being followed by the others.
She rushed her way instantly to the wardrobe and climbed into it.

Surprisingly, her brothers and sister did the same.

Peter was the last one to get in and waited while the door from the wardrobe had just a small space to look.
But as he saw Mcready coming in, he pushed all the others further into the wardrobe. He hoped the woman hadn't heard them and as he silently pushed his siblings back, he tried to protect them the best he could.

"Ouch! Edmund, you're stepping on my feet!" Susan yelled.

"Ssssst. She's here!" Peter shushed his sister, she shot him an apologising look.

"Ouch!" Lucy said.

Peter found it weird that he could still push his siblings backwards, he never imagined a wardrobe to be that deep. The Pevensies were able to walk further, until they all bumped into a tree.

Peter and Susan gasped as they turned around.

"Where are we?" Peter asked. He was amazed by the fact that it was snowing in here.

"We're in Narnia!" Lucy smiled, her arms wide open in the air from happiness.

"We need to go back." Susan said. She didn't know what to think about all of this. She felt uncomfortable by the land that appeared in their wardrobe and the sudden change of weather.

"It may be too late for that, Mcready may have already found out about the window, and we would be in big problems." Peter and Edmund both said at the same time.
They gave each other a weird stare and then laughed it off.
