*******************************************************************************

It was only two months after we returned from our adventure in Narnia when the Pevensie's had to leave the manor. The aircrafts stopped attacking London, so every child that left their parents, had to return.
I still remember every part of our adventure. The day I returned to Narnia (through the wardrobe) and how my father left me on the coronation day was still fresh in my mind. And when I said 'every part of our adventure', I meant it. Like it all just happened yesterday. "You have to write to me once you get back," I informed the Pevensie's as they all stood in front of me with solemn looks. It was still hard to believe that they were leaving today. No matter how selfish I sound, but I didn't want them to leave me. Especially Edmund. How can I live without him standing by my side? How can I live without Peter and Susan always making fun of me, and always putting a smile on my face? How can I live without Lucy's angelic laugh, her smart remarks and how she can light up anyone's mood with just a smile?

Edmund stared deeply into my blue orbs. "I promise," Ed vowed. Deep down inside we all knew that seeing each other would be very difficult. Especially with the war going on everyone was anxious about leaving their houses.

"I'm going to miss you all so much!" I began to get teary.

Everyone embraced me into their arms. 'Group hug' as you call it. "We're going to miss you too Mia!" they all chanted in sync. As I peered over everyone's shoulders, I could see the train advancing towards the platform. This only made my grip tighten. I closed my eyes and took in all the memories I had with them. From the first time I met the Pevensie's till now. I was scared to let them go. I was scared that if I let them go I'll never see them again. I never thought saying goodbye was the most difficult thing to do. The thought of all of them crying always made me cry no matter the circumstance. So I let my tough side melts for a few minutes and cried too. The sound of the train was getting louder and louder.

The sound rang, piercing through my ears like thunder. It was quite deafening. I then wondered if there would be any quieter trains in the mere future. I dare hope so, by the time I'm old and wrinkly I'll be deaf as a beetle!
We all pulled away and I soon realized that their eyes were swollen and scarlet. "I guess this is it," I declared as the train haltered at the platform. I had been dreading for this moment all day and it's now. it seemed as if, this was the end of our friendship. Letters weren't always going to be enough for me. "I love you guys, so much,"

Edmund trudged up to my presence and clutched onto me for the hundredth time. "I love you too, Amelia," Edmund mumbled in my ear, making my spine quiver. He then dragged his jaw line across my hot, pink cheeks. He stopped once he was in front of lips. We just stared, gazing into each others eyes in awe. "Together." he whispered as he leaned closer to my plump lips.

"Together..." I chorused back, while I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closely to my body. Our lips touched for the last time and I never wanted it to end. Edmund slithered his arms around my waist, deepening the kiss.

"Ew, get a room," Lucy mocked, scrunching her nose and eyebrows obviously disgusted. Peter and Susan laughed.

"The trains here," Susan choked, tears forming in her eyes again. I turned to the train, that haltered beside the platform with a loud scream. I peered into the compartment window in front of us, and there was a young girl around four years old, and another who was looked Lucy's age.

It was hard to take in that children had to be wrenched away from their beloved parents, all because of a tragic war. But then again, if the children wouldn't have been sent away I would never have met the Pevensie's, or found Narnia.
All because of Lucy, I found my home. I found my way back into my father once again.

"All aboard!" the train person called. I cringed at the sound of the man's voice 'all aboard'. I just wish I could go with them.

"Farewell," I waved as they stood in a line together. "Till we meet again,"

"till we meet again," Peter repeated, before we slowly turned around and began to walk towards the train. Then followed, Lucy, Susan and Edmund. I watched their every step, and I couldn't help but to cry again. They all waved, until they all disappeared into the train. It was only moments later when the train began to move again. Suddenly a multiple show of hands shot from our the window, along with calls and shouts. I realized that it was the Pevensie's in a compartment about 20 metres behind me. As the train moved my way, they all came into sight with grins on their faces. They all chirpped their 'Goodbyes'.... Well more like screamed their 'goodbyes'.

I wanted to chase it, just to hug them one last time. Or just to see their warm smiles, curved on their lips. If it weren't for my heart stopping me, I would have followed the train all the way to Finchley! But I didn't. I didn't run after that train. I don't even know why didn't.

All I knew was that I would reunite with them in time.

I just hope it would've been sooner...

After that day, I never saw the Pevensie's again. Letters were the only communication. Everyday I can still here there laughter in my head, sometimes I can even see their smiles.

You might be all wondering, what did happen after all the adventures in Narnia?
Well, that my friends, is only in the mere future.

Mystery..... that's the future that lies ahead of me.

A mystery....
