Ch. 14 It's actual snow
Tumnus and Bodhi escorted the two sisters out of the house and guided them to the lamppost, where they would return to their world. Elizabeth and Lucy turned to look at them.
" We shall return to Narnia with the rest of our siblings," Elizabeth tells Tumnus and Bodhi.
Tumnus and Bodhi looked at one another and then at the sisters, nodding at them.
" Do take care in the meantime since I know time is different between our worlds," Elizabeth hugged Tumnus while Bodhi hugged her leg.
Tumnus hugged Elizabeth and nodded.
He lets go of her and looks at Lucy.
" It was lovely meeting you, Lucy. Do take care of yourself," He smiled.
" See you soon!" Lucy smiled, hugging Tumnus.
Elizabeth looks down at Bodhi.
Bodhi lets go of Elizabeth and looks at her.
" Have a safe journey back home," They say.
Elizabeth and Lucy waved goodbye as they turned and walked through the forest, into clothes, and out of the wardrobe.
" Has anyone seen Lucy and Liz?" The two sisters heard Peter ask.
Lucy looked at Elizabeth in awe, who smiled back at the younger girl.
" Did you check Professor Kirke's study?" Edmund asked.
" Susan checked, and they aren't there," Peter responded.
" Greenhouse?"
" Nope."
" The kitchens?"
" Not there either," Peter sighed.
" We should let our presence know," Elizabeth giggled while Lucy nodded.
The two sisters left the room, grabbing the rest of the siblings' attention.
" We won!" Lucy cheered.
" You were in that room this whole time!" Peter and Edmund exclaimed.
" Did you find them?" Susan asked, approaching her siblings.
" More like they found us," Peter chuckled.
" Lizzie and I won!" Lucy smiled and twirled.
" Well, it has been an hour," Susan looked at the clock.
" I cannot believe you were in that room this whole time," Edmund groaned.
" What is that room anyway?" He asked.
Elizabeth and Lucy looked at one another, deciding to tell their siblings about the room they were in.
" This room is special," Elizabeth starts.
Peter and Susan looked at each other.
" Special?" Edmund raised an eyebrow.
" Yeah!" Lucy nodded.
" Look! Look!" She opened the door fully so that her older siblings could see inside.
Elizabeth stepped back, allowing Peter, Susan, and Edmund to see what was inside.
The three siblings saw an empty room with a Grand Wardrobe inside.
" What's so special about this room? It's empty with a Wardrobe inside," Edmund turns to look at Elizabeth and Lucy.
" It's the Wardrobe! It takes you to a different world," Lucy smiled, looking confident.
Peter looked at Elizabeth.
" It does take someone to a different world," Elizabeth confirmed.
Edmund looked at Elizabeth and Lucy as though they were insane.
" What childish nonsense!" He laughs.
Lucy adorably pouts and glares at Edmund.
" Edmund," Susan glanced at Edmund.
" Lizzie! Tell them. What we saw was true," Lucy looks at Elizabeth.
Peter and Susan looked at Elizabeth curiously.
" We are not making this up. Pete and Su. You two have known me for so long. You guys know I do not have a great imagination. I cannot think of this on the spot just because we are going through a difficult time," Elizabeth says.
" I believe them," Peter smiled.
" Can you show us?" Susan asked, looking curious.
Edmund looked at the rest of his siblings like they were crazy.
" Am I the only normal one in this family?" he shouts. " Pfft! I'm leaving. I'm going to get something to eat." He turns and runs to the kitchen.
" Edmund!" Lucy shouts, but Elizabeth stops her.
" We'll show Narnia to him eventually," Elizabeth reassures.
Lucy looks at Elizabeth and nods.
" You two have to meet Tumnus and Bodhi! Tumnus is a Faun, and Bodhi is a cute white snow ferret," Lucy tells Peter and Susan.
" Bodhi is a white weasel, Lucy," Elizabeth reminded.
Lucy grabs Peter's hand and starts to run towards the wardrobe. Elizabeth and Susan walk behind them.
" What exactly is Narnia?" Susan asked, looking curious.
" Narnia is a magical world that exists parallel to our own. However, time works differently. They are currently going through an eternal Winter because of the evil White Witch," Elizabeth explained.
" And Aslan is their Leader," Lucy chimed, opening the wardrobe and stepping inside.
" Yes. Aslan is their Leader or the true Emperor of Narnia," Elizabeth watched Lucy and Peter enter the wardrobe and follow them.
" Aslan and the White Witch are fighting over Narnia. Elizabeth and I agree to help Aslan by defeating the White Witch," Lucy smiled.
" Defeat the White Witch?" Peter tightly grasped Lucy's hand, looking concerned. Susan walks behind Elizabeth, looking at her eldest sister's back worryingly.
" Yeah! I promised Aslan to bring the Empress of Narnia to him so that the eternal winter would stop," Lucy smiled, feeling the cold air hitting her face.
Peter opened his mouth to say something but stopped when he felt something cold hit him on the face.
" Is there, ummm, an air conditioner in this wardrobe?" He asked.
" Nope. I could see tree branches heading your way," Elizabeth says.
Peter didn't have time to react when a snowy tree branch hit him on the face, and he immediately felt the cold snow all over him.
" Ahh! Cold! Cold!" He brushed the snow off of his face.
Susan looked surprised, grabbing two fur coats for Peter and herself. She follows her siblings and steps out. She looked at her surroundings, seeing a snowy forest and a snow lamppost before her.
" I cannot believe it!" Peter gasped, looking at his surroundings.
Susan hands Peter a fur coat, and she puts hers on.
" It's actual snow," She whispered.
Peter puts on his fur coat, grabs some snow, and looks at it in awe.
Elizabeth and Lucy looked at one another and smiled, glad the two siblings believed them.
" Come on! You two have to meet Tumnus and Bodhi," Lucy grabs her siblings' hands and walks into the snowy forest.
Elizabeth looked at the lamppost and wondered how long it had been. For her, it had been seconds since she last saw Tumnus and Bodhi, but it could have been days or weeks for her new friends.
" Come on, Lizzie!" Lucy shouts, waving at Elizabeth to catch up.
" Coming!" Elizabeth looks away and follows her siblings into the snowy forest.
