14"Unexpected Encounters"
NOTE: I own nothing.
IMPORTANT: I speak Spanish so I am really sorry If I had any mistake in this chapter.
Chapter 5: Go back.
"Humans? You mean like Daughters of Eva and Sons of Adan?" The squirrel said.
"Mhh... I suppose" Alex said.
"Where are we?" Maia asked the damn squirrel again.
"You are in Narnia" The damn squirrel replied.
"Excellent brothers, we are in Narnia!" I said, sarcastically.
"This is like one of my dreams, you know, when I dream we are in Narnia and then I wake up on the middle of the night walking" I said joking, but no one laughed.
"Mel, I think he's serious" Alex said with wide eyes.
"I didn't even know that you could tell animal's feelings you know" I said smiling.
"Don't be rude" Maia said.
"You know what? We are going insane, and I'm not kidding" I said now seriously.
"Mel, stop it"
"No! What the hell?" I said with my voice broke "I'm so scared I could actually just fall and cry right here, right now, this is not possible okay? Squirrels don't talk"
Alex got close to me and gave me a hug.
"Everything will be alright, okay? I think we are not dreaming, this is reality, the problem is how to get out of here" Alex said to me.
"Okay, let's do this" I said and then I turned to the squirrel.
"How can we get out from here?" I said passing a hand trough my hair.
"How did you get in?"
I got a really bad feeling about that question, I turned to my brothers and then I started thinking out loud.
"We were on the forest…"
"And then we were in little lake" Maia continued.
"We fall…, the ring, and everything was shinning"
"And then we appeared here" Alex finished.
"The lake! That was a portal or something, so we appeared here" I said.
Then I looked to my hand, the ring wasn't on my finger.
"So… We just need to search for the lake? And that's it?" Maia said.
"I don't think that will work" the squirrel said.
"Why? We don't belong here and we need to go before Mrs. Caroline finds out" Maia said getting a little paranoid.
"When humans enter in Narnia, they come with a mission" The red squirrel said.
"You don't understand this is a mistake, we don't know Narnia, and we are here for accident" I said "You're not looking for us"
"I don't really think you enter by accident, we should go with my king" The squirrel said.
"Your king, why do we have to go?" Alex said putting his hand on the back of his neck, which means he's nervous.
"You have to know why you came… right?"
"But… why don't we try searching for the lake first?" I said again.
"It won't work; seriously, we need to go with my king" The squirrel said and started jumping between the trees.
"How seriously can you take a squirrel's words?" I said whispering and my siblings laughed.
"Chill out, I don't think we have to worry about anything" Alex said passing a hand through his hair.
"Yeah, because we are God knows where, and we are following a squirrel, yeah, nothing to worry about" Maia said pointing with her fingers.
"We're dreaming, have you seen those movies where there's the girl that talks with squirrels and have like thousands of adventures and then she woke up?" I asked them.
"Mhh…Let me think, no!, stop it Mel we are really here!" Alex said.
I looked around searching for something so I can prove them that I was actually dreaming, I saw a cliff a few meters away on the right, and I suddenly had an idea.
"Hey, have you ever been dreaming and then you have the sensation that you're falling and suddenly you wake up?" I asked them moving my hands in front of me.
"Hmm… I suppose why do you ask?" Maia said.
"Well, I'm going to wake up right now!" I said running to the cliff, I heard Alex screaming my name like really scared, well, my dreams were always very realistic, when I was on the edge of the cliff I didn't look down because I knew I would regret it, and then I jumped.
"I'm hungry" Lucy said when we were walking down the beach.
"Take this apple" Peter griped an apple from a tree and cleaned it with his shirt before he give it to Lucy.
"We are we?" Susan said watching the trees around us.
"Actually I don't really know, maybe we are far from Cair Paravel" I said gripping an apple for me.
"What I really want to know its how much time have passed since we left" Peter said.
"I don't know but I'm really happy that we are back!" Lucy said.
"Yeah, actually me too" Peter said in a low voice and I knew that he was really happy because he thought he will never come back again.
We run to the beach, just like the last time, we played in the water and I realized that I felt stronger, wiser. Excellent. And I couldn't help but to notice that my siblings were feeling that way too.
"That was tired" Susan said when we were walking to the sand again.
"The ocean looks so beautiful from here" Lucy said.
"Everything is beautiful in here Lu" Peter said taping her head.
"I think we should go and search for… Caspian?" I asked I could have sworn that Susan caught her breath but it was so fast that I could have imagined everything.
"Yeah, let's go" Lucy said as she started walking.
Pete and I shared a look before standing up and walked behind her, Peter nudged me on the arm hard, I turned around and hit him too, we started fighting and running from each other, we occasionally didn't do this at home, but we were in Narnia! And I felt so happy.
When we were closed again he whispered.
"I don't know if what we are going to find will be good or bad?" Pete asked me.
"Are you kidding me? You, the High King of Narnia is scared?" I said grinning.
"What? I'm not scared I was just saying!" He replied.
"You're totally scared" I said whispering.
"Come here you brat!" My older brother said as he was grapping my shirt something came to my view over my head, before I could react something hit me. Hard. And I fell to the ground.
"Ouch!" I heard a girl voice above me.
My head hurt and the thing had hit my chest really hard I could barely breathe, I was about to faint.
"What the…?" I said.
"I'm so sorry" the girl voice said and I opened my eyes.
"I'm so sorry" I said putting a hand on my head, I opened my eyes only to see straight into brown.
Neither of us moved an inch, and I suddenly saw that we were inches apart, I could feel his breath in my mouth, and we stared like I don't know how much time, then I looked down at his lips and I suddenly wanted to kiss him.
What?
"Do you like it or what?" I heard his voice, and I suddenly came back life, realizing that I knew him.
"Emm…what?" I said looking again at his eyes totally lost.
"Are you okay?" I heard someone telling me.
"No, obviously I'm not okay Pete!" The boy under me said.
"I wasn't talking to you idiot, I was talking to her" Peter said, and then I realized I was above Edmund and his brother Peter was talking to me, I found my voice and said.
"Yeah, mmh… I'm fine" I said taking the hand he was offering me.
I heard a scream above me.
"Mel!" my siblings screamed and then I saw their faces like three meter above, I saw relief in their eyes and then they started laughing.
"What?" I asked them.
I saw how Edmund was standing up and complaining and saying something but I didn't pay attention to him.
"You wanted to…" Alex began but he started laughing again.
"-to jump and then you…" Maia continued laughing.
"Shut up you two" I said.
"Why are they doing here?" I heard Edmund asking Peter behind me.
"Mel!" I heard Lucy calling me from behind, I turned around just when she hugged me.
"Why are you doing here?" She asked.
"Mhh…I don't know, actually I was…"But I couldn't finish because my brothers appeared laughing. Suddenly Maia stopped.
"Peter!" She said and then she continued talking, because she realized she was staring at him. I laughed in my mind. "Susan, Lucy, Edmund, what are you doing here?"
"We could ask you the same question" Susan said pointing to us.
"We-we don't know" I said looking at the floor.
"Aslan brought them" I heard Edmund said.
"Who's Aslan?" Maia asked.
"Who's Aslan? Are you kidding me? he's the king of Narnia, of course" Lucy said grinning.
"Mhh…okay, so what now?" I said looking at Peter and then to Alex.
"We need to find out where are we" Peter said looking around.
"And you will know where we are because…" I said moving my hand from my hips.
"Because we were kings and queens of Narnia" Lucy said looking to me with her blue eyes.
"You were… kings and queens of Narnia?, you are like what, twelve?" I said looking at Edmund, he only glared at me.
"We really were, a long time ago" Peter said to me.
"So you were younger?" Maia said raising her voice.
"You don't understand, in Narnia, time doesn't work the same that in England" Susan said.
"So, how it works here?" Alex said walking a few steps in front.
"When we are back in England, we will be back in the same second we left"
Neither of us said anything,so time didn't exist in Narnia…
"We should get moving, it's getting late" Peter said when I snapped of my thoughts, I looked to the sky and I saw that It was getting darker.
"And where exactly are we going?" Maia said.
"We need to camp so tomorrow morning we can move to the king's castle" I suddenly heard the voice of the damn squirrel on my right shoulder, I got so freaked out that I screamed a little bit and I placed my hand on my heart so I could start breathing again.
"Where did you come from?" I said bursting out, I heard Edmund trying to hide his laugh.
"I was just listening to you" The squirrel said.
"What's your name?" Peter asked the squirrel.
"My name is Korian" Said the squirrel "It's an honor to met you all, the high king Peter the magnificent, High Queen Susan the gentle, King Edmund the Just and Queen Lucy the valiant, I'd never thought that I would see this day"
High kings, and queens, the magnificent, maybe too cocky.
"The pleasure is ours" Susan said nodding.
"We should camp in the woods, that way we take refuge from the cold" Edmund said pointing to the forest.
"I agree" Maia said not very enthusiastic, actually she looked really tired.
"Let's go then" Peter said.
Then we all started walking there, on the way up, we started collecting branches so we could make a bonfire.
When we finally agree on the place we should stay we all sat down and started putting the branches on the center, my stomach groaned.
My brothers started laughing but I was so tired I didn't even bother to look at them.
"I'm going to search for some food" Peter said standing up. "Ed, make the fire"
"Aye aye" He replied.
"I'm going with you" Alex stood up and went behind Peter.
I leaned on a tree behind me as I watched my sister and Susan making breads to Lucy so far from me that I couldn't hear what they were talking, I slowly moved my eyes to see how Edmund was lighting the fire.
He was on his knees with two rocks on his hand, and he was rubbing the rocks while little sparks came out.
He looked kind of concentrate but he couldn't make it, I stood up and walked to him, I took the rocks from his hands.
"Hey, I'm going to make the bonfire" He said frowning.
I chuckled "You were? I didn't notice" I said smiling, I rubbed the rocks twice and then blew on the branches, soon the fire was really warm.
I looked to Edmund only to see like he was annoyed by the fact that I did it.
"So… The King Edmund but you can't light a fire, how disappointing" I said before lying on the grass.
"I was doing fine" He replied. "And it was a long time ago"
"That's not an excuse" I said looking at him.
We stayed quiet a few minutes before he broke the silence.
"You are not having fun" He said smiling.
"That's maybe because I'm not having fun here, I'm God knows where and I'm freezing" I said.
"Just wait and see Narnia, you will end loving it" He said and then he stood up and walked where his sisters where.
The problem was that I didn't want to know Narnia, this was so weird that I just wanted to take a long bath and fell asleep. I wanted to go with my parents, I missed them like nothing I have missed before in the world, I slowly closed my eyes, and the only thing that was crossing my mind was. I hope I can go back soon.
This is the fifth chapter, what do you think? I hope you like it.
