Lifeline ⤞ Peter Pevensie [Chronicles of Narnia]

"Part of her mystery
Is how she is calm in the storm
And anxious in the quiet."

Fallon Hunter has a name that speaks for itself. Or, at least, that's what Professor Kirke had always told her.
Having been with the professor since a young age, the girl was never told what had happened to her parents, nor who they were, yet she still managed to be extremely curious about the world and its secrets, but only believed what she could see.
But when the war comes and she gets unexpected guests, she finds out that not everything is quite as it seems.

-

"She can be quite... frustrating."

"I heard that!"

-

"Have you tried going in there?"

"It's always closed, and there's no lock on the door. Do you expect me to just walk through the wood?"

-

"Stop giving me puppy eyes and walk."

-

"Do you believe me now?"

-

"Are you crying?"

"No, my eyes are just mimicking the damn river."

-
"We'll get out of this, I promise."

"Never make promises you can't keep."

-

"Together?"

"Together."
