To Let Go

Summary: A collection of drabbles centered around the theme of each character's final moment.

Author's Note: Part of lyrical challenge, inspired by the lyric "I try to hold on to the world with everything I have". These drabbles will explore the final moments of several Narnia characters, not just the main ones.

To Let Go, or Ante Mortem(before death)

Part One

Lucy

In an instant, I see beautiful flashes of green hills and wild waters and I know I'm seeing the place I love so dearly- Narnia. It seems so real I think I can touch it. I stretch my hand out, willing it to make contact with something real, but before my hand extends fully the scene changes. I see rows of houses, their tops reflecting the sunlight, and cracked sidewalks and loud noises and I feel as if I'm standing on an England street. I catch a glimpse of a golden eye looking at me and I know it's Him. Memories still racing in front of me, I see the professor's grand mansion and the lovely yard he had and the wardrobe, that wardrobe that stands for so much in my mind.

And then everything stops, and suddenly I'm jarred forward from what I subconsciously know is my seat in the train, but it doesn't feel so, I don't feel I'm in a compartment, I feel as if I'm outdoors, able to run free.

And everything stops. And I glance around, and I see my brothers to my right and the Professor and Aunt Polly to my left, and ahead I see Aslan, and I know.

I am home.
