Chapter 1

Ella knocked loudly on the front door of her best friend's house. She shifted her bag from one shoulder to the other as she waited. The front door finally swung open revealing her friend's sister.

"Hi Susan! Where is Peter? We are supposed to study together," Ella said quickly.

"He's out back with Lucy and Edmund," Susan replied as she stepped aside to let Ella in.

"Thanks, did you finish that book yet?"

"No not yet, but it's really good," Susan said as she followed Ella towards the back door. "Are you going to tell him Ella?"

Ella stopped, her hand frozen on the doorknob. "I can't Susan. I think it would ruin everything if I told him now."

"Or everything would work out exactly as you want it to. You won't know until you tell him," Susan said quickly.

Ella sighed and glanced at Susan. "You're right of course, I just have to work up the courage to tell him." Ella pushed the door open without another word and headed across the Pevensie's backyard.

Laughter drifted over as Ella approached. "What are you three laughing about? Wait let me guess, it's something to do with your adventures in Narnia?" The Pevensies had told Ella about Narnia but they had made it sound like some fantastic game of pretend they played. No one really went to magical lands and fought in wars. Ella believed in Narnia as much as she believed in Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny.

"We were laughing about Edmund's horse Phillip," Lucy explained quickly. "He could talk."

"Do all horses in Narnia talk or was Phillip special?" Ella asked playing along. Or so she thought.

"Not all of them talk, Peter's unicorn couldn't talk. Phillip was special. I miss him," Edmund said as he pulled some grass out the backyard.

"Come on Ella we have to study," Peter said rising to his feet quickly and pulling Ella up to follow him.

"But I wanted to tell Ella more stories about Narnia," Lucy said.

"Not now Lou, we have to study," Peter said already heading back into the house.

Ella knelt down next to Lucy and whispered, "Give me one hour then you can come rescue me from King Peter the sourpuss alright? You can tell me as many stories as you want."

"Promise," Lucy replied sticking out her pinky.

"Of course. One hour then you have to come save me," Ella said linking pinkies with Lucy, before following after Peter. Ella pretended that she had not seen the look on Edmund's face when Peter had left so suddenly. He was hurt by his brother's behavior, especially lately.

Ella dashed up to Peter's room where he was already sitting on the floor waiting for her. "Ok let's get started, where do you want to start?" Ella asked as she sat down on the foot of his bed.

"You shouldn't encourage them Ella. Listening to their stories and asking them questions about Narnia, it is only making matters worse. They need to accept things and move on," Peter said suddenly tossing his book across the room.

Ella raised her eyebrows at him in confusion. "What are you talking about Peter? It is only pretend, they know Narnia is not real. Why shouldn't I listen to their stories? It's not like you do."

As soon as the last part left her mouth Ella regretted it. "I'm sorry Peter I didn't mean it. I just think you are overreacting. Let them pretend while they are still children."

Peter sighed and ran his hands through his hair angrily. He shook his head and opened his mouth to say something to Ella, but thought better of it. If he told her the truth about Narnia, about all the things they had seen and done she would never believe them. She would think that all four of them were completely crazy.

"Let's not argue. Where do you want to start?" Ella asked quickly changing the subject.

Love it? Hate it? Are you choking me from a distance? Yes no maybe? Whatever you are feeling you should tell me in the form of a review!!!
