Supreme Sorceress

Voices filled Hilaria's ears as she made her way through the woods, her paws silently crunching the snow beneath her as she slowly walked in the same direction of the voices, only to stop moments later. She could see them, the four children, two boys and two girls, and she knew that they were the Sons of Adam and the Daughters of Eve, which caused Hilaria to slowly lower herself to the floor, letting the snow cover the black stripes of her white tigress, watching, the children having no clue that she was there.

"Impossible" The older girl, Susan Pevensie, said in shock as she looked around

"Don't worry, it's probably just your imagination" the younger girl, Lucy Pevensie, said with a slightly smug look

"I don't suppose saying we're sorry would quite cover it?" The older brother, Peter Pevensie, said to his baby sister

"No, it wouldn't" Lucy replied, taking the chance to get her a snowball as he marveled at the sight if Narnia "but this might!"

Lucy nails Peter in the face with a snowball, which caused Hilaria to silently chuckle to herself as he looked at Lucy in shock, which quickly faded into amusement, gathering a snowball and throwing one back at her, causing a snowball fight to begin. Hilaria watched as three of the siblings played in the snow, knowing that they were the the ones the prophecy was about, and knowing that everything was going to fall into place as it should be. Susan hits Edmund in the arm with a snowball, bringing Hilaria from her thoughts,

"Ow! Stop it!" He exclaimed, rubbing his arm

"You little liar!" Peter accused in realization

"You didn't believe her either!" Edmund defended

"Apologize to Lucy." Peter demanded, causing Edmund to look at her "say you're sorry!" stepping up to him

"Alright! I'm sorry." Edmund said to his little sister

"That's alright," Lucy replied "some little children just don't know when to stop pretending." looking at him smugly

"Very funny." He muttered

"Maybe we should go back" Susan said, unsure about the whole situation

"Can't we at least take a look around?" Edmund asked,

Hilaria looked at Edmund with slightly narrowed eyes, feeling something a bit off with the boy, almost as if he wanted to be somewhere else other than with his siblings,

"I think Lucy must decide" Peter declared "after all, she did discover this place first"

"I all want you to meet Mr. Tumnus!" Lucy replied excitedly

"Well Mr. Tumnus it is" he said, walking into the wardrobe again

"We can't just walk around in these clothes" Susan said, wrapping her arms around herself as Peter comes out

"We can use these coats." Peter replied, holding four coats in his arms

"Peter, they don't belong to us" she replied

"Well I don't think the professor will mind." He dismissed "And if you think about it logically . . ." wrapping a coat around Lucy "we are not even taking them out of the wardrobe" handing coat to Edmund

"But that's a girl's coat" Edmund said, looking at the coat

"I know." Peter replied

Edmund reluctantly took the coat, Peter shrugging his on as well and as soon as he saw that his siblings were wrapped up, they began to follow Lucy in the direction of Mr. Tumnus' home. Hilaria stood on all fours, shaking the snow from her fur and silently following the four children, her footsteps still silent, smiling to herself as Lucy rambled on and on about what Mr. Tumnus' was like and what he had done for her. As you may have noticed, this wasn't the first time Hilaria had shifted into her tigeress, she had occasionally done so in her sleep back at the camp, but Aslan made it clear to everyone that she found out for herself, which is why she is so used to walking on all fours and not stumbling as one would expect.
