I was starting to get claustrophobic in the cupboard but I was staying put. Of course I had an advantage here because I knew the house well. Mainly because this was my house. I wonder how long Peter was going to be counting for. Maybe I wouldn't mind being found first. The house went silent again. "81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95..." Peter was saying until he got one hundred, that's when I knew that he'd come looking for us soon. I was wondering how long it would take for him to find me. I heard footsteps but I didn't give up. That's until I heard the footsteps stop in front of the cupboard. The door then opened and I saw Peter.

"It's all right! I'm back! I'm all right!" I heard Lucy shout, and just like I knew she'd been to Narnia and back.

"I'm so glad to have been found, it's not so spacious in there." I said to Peter, this made him smile.

"I'm glad to have helped." He said to me with a smile, we then went to find the others.

"It's been too long since I got go play such games as this." I said to Peter with a smile, he looked at me.

"Why's that?" He asked me, I looked at him.

"Because the last time I played hide-and-seek, was the day that my brother disappeared and was never seen again." I said to him, I felt him look down.

"I'm sorry if this made you remember anything about that day." He said to me, I didn't need pity for people or them feeling sorry.

"It's fine, it was years ago." I said to him, we then found Lucy and Edmund.

"You know, I'm not sure you two have quite got the idea of the game." Peter said to them, I didn't either especially since they we're together and talking.

"Weren't you wondering where I was?" Lucy asked us, not at all seeming as that was the game.

"That's the point. That was why he was seeking you." Edmund said to her, I then saw Susan coming up behind us.

"Does this mean I win?" She asked, it sure did.

"I don't think Lucy wants to play any more." Peter said to her, I didn't either.

"But yes you did win Susan." I said to her with a smile.

"I've been gone for hours." She said to us, time worked differently in Narnia. What felt like hours was just seconds. We then went to the wardrobe Edmund went around the back and Susan went inside.

"We shouldn't be in here." I said to them. There wasn't anything there but I would be able to believe Lucy.

"Lucy, the only wood in here is the back of the wardrobe." Susan said to her but there was more.

"One game at a time, Lu. We don't all have your imagination." Peter said before began to leave with Susan and Edmund.

"Don't worry Lucy, I know what you mean." I said to her with a smile. I then began to leave with the others.

"But I wasn't imagining!" Lucy said to them, I knew she wasn't.

"That's enough, Lucy." Susan said to her.

"I wouldn't lie about this!" Lucy said to her, I didn't know her but I knew she wouldn't. Especially since she'd seen what I'd seen.

"Well, I believe you." Edmund said, this was surprising.

"You do?" Lucy asked him confusedly.

"Yeah, of course. Didn't I tell you about the football field in the bathroom cupboards?" He asked, now that wasn't a really thing. I'd lived here long enough.

"Now will you just stop? You just have to make everything worse, don't you?" Peter said to Edmund, I felt like I shouldn't be here listening to this but I had to make sure this room looked untouched.

"It was just a joke!" Edmund said to him, but no one was finding it funny.

"When are you gonna learn to grow up?" Peter asked him.

"Shut up! You think you're Dad, but you're not!" Edmund shouted before leaving.

"Well, that was nicely handled." Susan said before leaving, I picked up the sheet and started throwing it over the wardrobe again.

"But...it really was there." Lucy said to Peter, at least she could come to me about it.

"Susan's right, Lucy. That's enough." Peter said before leaving. Lucy and I then left the room together. I went to sit back in the chair. I saw Peter walk past.

"She's not lying about the other world in the wardrobe." I said to him, he looked at me.

"Don't tell me that you believe her." He said before sitting opposite me.

"I do and it's because I've been there myself. My Mum used to tell us the stories about Narnia. The place in the wardrobe. Her battles she fought and most importantly how she became Queen." I said to him, he looked at me confusedly.

"If there is another place then why didn't we get to inside." He said to me, I don't know that was I didn't understand.

"That's what I can't figure out, all I know is I'm not to go there because I'm in danger. And my brother was as well." I said to him, I'd worked out over these years that me and Henry were wanted by Jadis. But he was the only one who was caught.

"Why is it dangerous for you to go back?" He asked me, I forgot that he'd be clueless to all of this.

"Because my Mum was the last queen, me and Henry were heir to the throne but because we weren't in Narnia Jadis became queen. Because of this if we go back and get found out we could take the throne so she's taking us out." I said to him, me and Henry were long lost royalty. I could tell Peter was still confused. I guess this whole thing was confusing.

"If your a princess then why aren't you in your palace?" He asked me, I didn't quite know myself. I was never told.

"Good question, I don't know. I guess my Mum thought it would be safer here and it is." I said to him with a smile, I saw Mrs. Macready walk over to us.

"It's nearly lights out both of you go." She said to us and with that we both stood up.

"Yes, ma'am." Peter said to her, he was to formal and I couldn't tell if I liked it or not.

"What I've told you, you can't tell the others." I said to him, I didn't know if he believed me or not. But he would find out if Lucy kept going to Narnia. When it got to lights out. I was tempted to go back to Narnia, but o couldn't just in case.
