(Edmund POV)

I was hiding when I heard Lucy yelling
"It's alright I'm back, I'm alright" so I ran out of my hiding spot yelling "shut up he's coming" and with that Leah came out of her hiding spot stumbling a little from the fall just as Peter came around the corner. "You know I'm not sure you three quite have the idea of this game" he says to us, "Weren't you wondering where I was" Lucy ask cluelessly, why would we need to know where she was we were playing hide and seek?,and what came next was rather rude, "That's the point that's why he was seeking you" I said almost spelling every word out to her
"Does this mean I win?" Susan asked joining the conversation  "I don't think Lucy wants to play anymore" Peter says confused "I've been gone for hours" she says, how can she have been gone for hours, we've only been playing for like a minute?

(Leah's POV)

We were in the room Lucy went to Narnia in I believed her but the others were mean about it
Susan and Edmund checked the wardrobe the back and the inside and saw nothing, poor Lucy, they still treat her as some delusional child.
"Lucy the only wood in here is the back of the wardrobe." Susan says as a matter of factly,  "One game at a time Lu, we don't all have your imagination" Peter says, I wanted to slap him truth be told I didn't sleep much last night and was feeling a little cranky however he has no excuse to put her down like that,  "But I wasn't imagining" she says almost crying with anger "That's enough Lucy" Susan yells and I am quick to put my hands over my ears, "I wouldn't lie about this" She says, tears in her eyes now,
"Well I believe you" Edmund says believably, Oh no I thought I just stood there and walked over to Lucy. "Yeah of course didn't I tell you about the football field in the bathroom cupboards" he jokes, "Will you just stop?" Peter ask sarcastically "It was just a joke" Edmund says defending himself,  "You have to make everything worse don't you, when are you gonna learn to grow up ?" Peter said in a parental tone
"Shut up you think your dad and your not!" Edmund screams making me jump, before running out the room. "Well that was nicely handled" Susan says in the most sarcastic tone I've ever heard in my life before Running after him. "But it - it really was there" Lucy says still choking up on her tears, I just want to hug her, comfort her, but I can't, "Susan's right Lucy that's enough" Peter says leaving after Susan.

I had had enough of this I walked over to Lucy, gathering all of my courage, Just after she shut the wardrobe I put a finger over my mouth to tell her to be quiet and said " I believe you ", my voice came out rough but it sounded right, good, I felt much better, she froze, shocked , "you-you talked" she says in disbelief, "I could always talk Lucy" I say quietly, nodding my head, I've gotta stop doing that, force of habit, "Peter" she yells and turns around, and I step in front of her, shaking my head "Please Lucy don't " I say
"What is it Lu" he says anger evident in his tone
"Never mind you'll just say I was imagining again" she says, her voice laced in a newfound sass, I laughed at her response. We went back to our room, and spent the day talking about Narnia but as soon as anybody walked in we pretend to be playing charades and it didn't matter that I couldn't talk because when we were younger me and Lucy made a secret language a word and hand and I know them both of by heart.

(Leah POV)

By the end of the day we just Laid there staring up at the sky I couldn't sleep I had terrible nightmares about drowning and I just couldn't do it, it was always very hard to stay awake for so long I used to drink coffee secretly just so I didn't have to have these dreadful dreams I could always sleep with someone because it makes me feel protected and the dreams can't get to me there.

Lucy slipped on her pink boots, her coat and scarf, then she whispered "Leah are you awake" not too loud so we didn't wake Susan up "Obviously, where are you going ? " i asked her, shooting up from my laid back position, "Narnia it's in the wardrobe I feel it wanna come with me?" She asks stood in her winter clothes,
"Yeah!" I whisper yelled as I heard Susan rollover "yeah Lu whatever you want" she mumbles half asleep. I put on my lilac Wellington boots and matching coat as we got ready to leave. We giggled as we left the room and all down the corridor I felt somebody watching or following is but I shrugged it off, excited to meet mr Tumnus and see Narnia.

(Lucy pov)

I was taking Leah to meet mr Tumnus it was very exciting, we were just rolling around in the snow until I reached mr Tumnus door and knocked, no answer,  "mr Tumnus it's me Lucy" i said he unlocked the door. "Hi Lucy , and who is this you've brought with you?" He asks smiling down at us what a kind fawn, "This is my younger sister; Leah" I say "Oh the one that doesn't speak" he whispers, "I do speak mr Tumnus just not infront of my other siblings." Leah says, shocking me at her ability to speak to a total stranger, "Oh very well then come on in you two must be freezing" he says guiding us into his house, We talked and laughed and had tea and cakes and soon it was time to go home. "Visit again girls" mr Tumnus says waving us off,
"We will" we replied in sync we were walking home when Leah nudged me over to where someone was standing, and I recognised them  easily "Edmund?" I say as he turns around and looks at us. We run up to him hugging him and I say "Oh Edmund you got in to, isn't it wonderful?" He just pushed our shoulders back looking at us seriously and asks "where have you been?"  "With Mr Tumnus, he's fine the white witch hasn't found out about him meeting me."
I replied  "The white witch?" He questions "She calls herself the queen of Narnia but she really isn't" I say and his face turns white, he looks sick maybe it's the snow, "Are you alright, you look awful" I ask concerned "Well what do you expect it's freezing how do we get out of here?" He states sounding a bit annoyed. "Come on" I say as I drag his hand forcing him to follow me and he grabs Leah I was quite worried when I saw her she looked drained, physically and mentally, she probably just needs a good sleep don't we all.
