It was a cold, mid – November evening and Jess was sat on the large window sill outside the door to her dorm which she shared with Julia and Marlene, two of her closest friends. The two of them were running around doing god-knows-what and had shut her out of their room. Jess' thoughts drifted to all the events of the past two weeks and she shivered; pulling her knees up to her chest and resting her chin on them. Turning her gaze to the bright, starry sky she allowed a few tears to roll down her cheeks. No one knew the reason why she was so upset. Jess could tell her friends were worried about her; she never spoke, she hardly ate and most nights Jess cried herself to sleep. She was brought out of her thoughts by Julia's cheerful voice.

"Jess, we've got something to show you." Jess looked at the two of them curiously but didn't say anything.

"Come on. We think you'll like this." Marlene said as she grabbed Jess' hand and helped her off the window sill. Julia grabbed her other hand and pushed the door handle down. "You ready?"

"Y … yeah." Jess whispered softly. Julia and Marlene looked at her and smiled brightly that she had actually said something.

Julia pushed the door open and pulled Jess through behind her, Marlene behind Jess.

As they walked through the door they noticed that something wasn't quite right. As they looked around they could see that their beds and belongings had gone. In fact they weren't inside at all. They were stood in the courtyard of a magnificent castle. The three girls looked at it for a few moments but before they could say anything six men in armour, carrying swords, surrounded them.

Julia and Marlene were terrified but Jess was just looking at the men, she assumed that they were either guards or soldiers, curiously. She recognised their clothing from a film she had watched just the day before.

"Julia, Marlene, I think we're in Narnia." Jess whispered to the two terrified girls whilst giving their hands a gentle squeeze.

"How?! Narnia is just stories! Right?" Julia asked slightly hysterically.

"I thought so too, but maybe, just maybe, it is real and that's where we've ended up." Marlene said as she started to calm down slightly.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" One the men demanded harshly. His tone caused Jess to shrink back in fear, almost hiding behind Marlene.

"I'm Marlene, this is Julia," she indicated to Julia who was standing on her right, "and the young lady behind me is Jess. We don't know how we got here. We only went into our dorm but ended up here instead."

"Really?" Marlene and Julia nodded. "I don't believe it. We'll have to see what their Majesties say before we do anything with you. Come here." The man snapped.

Immediately three of the other men caught hold of their wrists and put what looked like old – fashioned handcuffs on them. Jess froze; tears streaming down her face silently as she was pushed into walking forwards roughly.

They could only hope that whoever they were being taken to would believe their story.
