narnia Enclosed below is the first EVER of my writings. (As anyone can tell. lol) I personally call it the ‘forbidden’ paper, since by people reading it, all I have received is humiliation and embarrassment. I composed this at the end of 2005, around the release of Narnia. Like all people who watch movies, it had not effect on me. :) Lol, ok… maybe it did. I wrote 5 chapters in all in this Narnia series, and each seems… to get a bit worse as it goes along… I hope you enjoy it and understand that it’s one of those mistakes of the past!

Chapter 1

 

The serene morning was disturbed by the piercing shrill of the whistle of a train some miles down the track. It was getting closer, after a while she could hear the roar of the engine coming in over the track like thunder trembling in the air. The train finally pulled into the shed, the momentum of the train carrying it forward. The wheels clacked, and they clacked, getting louder and louder as the train got closer. The brakes gave a squeal, and the train soothed into a stop.

 

The side door opened, and out stepped the conductor. “Are you the four children we are supposed to pick up?” asked the conductor.

The boy gave him a look, “Yes….Yes we are, the name is Pevensie.”

“Ah yes, Peter Pevensie, I presume.” Said the conductor, looking over the passenger list, “Welcome aboard then.”

The four children stepped onto the train, carrying their luggage. They were then escorted to their cabin; Peter placed the luggage on an overhead shelf. They all then sat, gazing at the beautiful landscape as it rolled passed the train. “At least our stay with that dumb professor is over.” Remarked Edmund in a sarcastic tone.

“Ed! You shouldn’t talk like that!” Peter corrected him, “He was nice enough to have us!”

“Sorry!” he retorted.

“At least we’ll see mom and dad again!” exclaimed Lucy.

“Yeah,” replied Ed, “Why couldn’t we just….”

Peter cut him off, “Oh! For heaven’s sake Ed. Don’t you know when to shut up?”

Lucy tried to change the subject, knowing that her brothers normally get into a fight over the simplest things. “How I wish we could go to Narnia again!”

“Narnia? I’ve completely forgotten all about it,” said Susan, “It has been a few months.”

“Yes, it has, but we shall go back! Remember what Aslan said?” Said Lucy, trying to seem cheerful; after her experience in Narnia, the entire stay in the country became quite dull to her.

“Hey! Stop that Ed!” shouted Lucy.

“Stop what?” Ed asked.

“You’re pulling on my sleeve!”

“I am not!”

“Wait!” shouted Peter, “it’s some sort of magic!”

With that the train cabin went dark, everything seemed to spin, and before you knew it the children were in Narnia once again. The children looked around, “Hey look! We’re at the Lamp Post, near the home of Mr. Tumnus!” shout Lucy, “since were back in Narnia and nearby, could we visit him first?”

“I guess there could be no harm in that,” answered Peter, “maybe we can find out why we we’re here in the first place.”

So they decided to visit the home of Mr. Tumnus. Lucy knew the way like the back of her hand, due to the fact that she had been a close friend with the faun, whom she had visited many times.

The children trudged on along the path in the woods. And there it was, the home of Mr. Tumnus. Lucy knocked on the door.

“Who is it?” replied a voice from behind the door.

“Mr. Tumnus! It’s me! Lucy Pevensie, with my brothers and sister.” Lucy shouted in her gleeful way. The door opened, Tumnus made a low bow, “Your Majesties! Welcome to my humble abode!”

“Thank you Mr. Tumnus,” said Lucy, “May we come in?”

“Yes, Yes, Do come in.” Tumnus said as he made way for them to enter, he then took their coats. “Would you like some tea?”

“Yes please, I could go for a good cup.” replied Susan.

Tumnus quickly prepared, and the tea was made in no time.

“So Tumnus, what has been going about in Narnia?” asked Peter.

The smile on Tumnus’s face turned to a frown, “Evil my King, evil has been brewing while you were gone.”

“What do you mean?” asked Peter; there was a tinge of nervousness in his voice, for he was King of Narnia, for the safety of Narnia was his concern. “Please, go on Mr. Tumnus.”

“After you left Narnia, to go back to the land of Spare Oom, the king of Archenland died.” Tumnus added some cream to his tea, “James Finn, a duke of Narnia, took the opportunity to invade Archenland.”

Peter stood and listened; he was worried though, at the thought of the enemy being so near. “Tumnus, I must set out for Cair Paravel, to deal with this traitor.”

“Yes, but the enemy has many spies, they lurk in the shadows, waiting for news of Aslan, and of the king.” Tumnus’ voice turned serious, “I fear he shall strike soon.”

“Just forget it! Can’t we change the subject? I’m getting bored talking about wars and invasions. Can’t we talk about something like….” Said Susan, “Like the weather!”

Everyone rolled their eyes. “Ok! Ok! Just joking!” said Susan in a nervous laugh. “Well, we could change the subject. Couldn’t we?”

 

They all agreed, and they continued to talk till evening on numerous topics, to list them all would take a while. They went to bed after a hearty supper, knowing little of why they were actually called to Narnia….

P.S. Don’t bother correcting the mistakes…it’s awful and I know it. :P Just a good laugh!
