"Su? Are you ready?" Peter asked. The Pevensies were in the underground train station in England, waiting for their train to their boarding schools. Peter was blonde and blue eyed, and at 18, the oldest of the four siblings.

Susan was the 2nd oldest at 16, with long slightly curled dark hair and sea green blue eyes. "Yes. You know, it's been over a year since we left Narnia now. I wonder how he is doing. I hope no one has attacked Narnia since the Telmarines."

"Oh! I can't wait to see if Aslan sends us to Narnia again! This last time we were there we met Prince Cas—." Lucy, the youngest at 13, with reddish brown hair and sky blue eyes, cut off her sentence just in time. Susan and Caspian had been continuously flirtatious with each other, until their last day in Narnia, when he had been cold and distanced toward Susan, not even giving her a hug goodbye!

Susan turned to look at the stairwell, when Edmund, her younger brother at 15 who had dark hair and navy blue eyes, turned to whisper at Lucy. "Now see what you did?! Lu, I know you want to go back to Narnia, but try not to say anything about Caspian okay?" he whispered. Lucy nodded her head, then leaned back against the bench as she heard that their train had been delayed for another hour.

Great, Susan thought, another hour until we get to school. And why did I have to mention Narnia? Why couldn't I just keep my mouth shut?I don't want to hear about him!

"Wake up! Wake up! King Caspian! Enemy attacking! Everybody, stand guard! Make sure no one gets into the keep, where the king's bedchamber is!"

"Yes Sir, Professor Cornelious!"

Knock, Knock, Knock.

"Yes? What is the matter? Mmmm?" King Caspian, who was 18, had wavy dark hair to his shoulders, a Hispanic accent and warm brandy colored eyes, looked at his childhood tutor. The professor's face showed fear and concern, obviously worried. Caspian felt the color drain out of his face, leaving it pale. "Professor, what is happening?"

"I am sorry, Your Majesty. There is an enemy attack on the castle happening. The Narnians think that it is the doing of the White Witch again. She has come to claim Narnia. Aslan's magic can no longer contain her. It seems as though he is weakening. You will have to blow Queen Susan's horn again, I'm afraid. We need them. They helped defeat her before, they can defeat her again."

"Are you absolutely sure Professor?" Caspian knew he was right, but he didn't want to see the Pevensies again. Especially Susan, he thought as his heart gave a painful thump in his chest. He especially didn't want to see Susan!

"I am sure, Your Highness. I would never ask you to do this if I was not sure, if I could think of another way." The Professor knew what had caused Caspian's question. He knew that he and Susan hadn't parted ways on the best terms, but truly felt sorry he hadn't been there to say goodbye to the Gentle Queen himself.

"Okay, but where and when do you think they'll get here?"

"I haven't the foggiest idea, but you better hope the Kings and Queens of Old get here to the castle before the White Witch does! Now please hurry and blow the horn Caspian. I don't want you to get hurt!"

"You don't have to worry about that! I don't want to get hurt either." Caspian found Susan's horn, put it to his lips, and blew.

"OUCH! What in the world? Su, did you feel that?" Lucy asked.

"Ow! Yes, Lu, I just felt something. What are you doing? Please stop pinching me, Lu!"

"Me? I didn't do anything, did I, Peter?"

"OW! Now I felt something! What's happening?" He directed his question towards Edmund.

"Ouch! Yep, definetly felt something! I wonder if there's fleas down here. Mister, do you know if...Mister?" Edmund's voice trailed off as he realized that the man beside him had frozen. The siblings looked around the station and realized that everybody had frozen."Wait a bloody minute, I know what it is! It's magic, remember? Aslan is calling us again!Quick, stand up everybody! Stand up, close your eyes, and join hands!"

They all stood and took hands. They closed their eyes and less than a minute later opened them to a glorious sight. They were back in Narnia! They let their hands fall and took in their surroundings. They all recognized Aslan's How, which they recalled was close to the castle in Cair Paravel.

"Well, where should we go first? Do you want to see what's in Aslan's How or go on to Cair Paravel?" Peter asked. He didn't know about them, but just then, he sensed that something was wrong and that they shouldn't go into Aslan's How right this very minute.

"Well...I say we should visit the castle first." Susan had the same feeling about Aslan's How as Peter did. Something didn't feel quite right.

"Yes, I agree." Edmund wasn't a coward, but he swore a chill ran up his spine a second ago. He could tell something was wrong. None of the driads had even come to welcome them yet.

"Fine. But...Never Mind." Lucy thought that Aslan's How should look more, well, old than it did. She couldn't wait to see Aslan, but she didn't think he was there. She didn't thin anyone had been there for awhile, but she could be wrong.

The Pevensies took a worn path towards the castle at Cair Paravel. Once they got to the end of the path, they could see that the castle had been restored to it's former beauty and that a fight had happened recently, but there hadn't been too much damage and looked as though people were inside.

"Let's see if we will know anyone. C'mon!" Lu raced ahead of the others, Edmund following close behind, signaling to Peter and Susan that he would talk with them later. The older Pevensies walked slowly and wanted to talk to each, keeping their voices low.

"Peter, something doesn't seem right. I swear it. I feel like time should have weathered Aslan's How more, made it look older. And, I got a funny feeling when I looked at it, as though I knew I was being watched from inside, and not the good kind of watched, if you know what I mean!" Su whispered to her older brother.

"I know what you mean. Since we spent a year in England again, why doesn't this place seem like it's older too? You know, 1,300 years older?" He whispered back.

"I don't know, but I intend to find out why. Don't say anything to Lucy about this please, I don't want her upset. Edmund already knows, or at least senses, that something's not right, so I don't have to worry about him." All of a sudden, Susan and Peter heard a shout from the castle and rushed to the ballroom. They peered around, looking for Edmund or Lucy in the large crowd, then saw Lucy and Ed in the middle of the room, hugging and talking to someone wearing a crown.

Susan started forward, then topped in her tracks when she saw the person Ed and Lucy talking to look up at her.

Caspian.
