Peter had an eerie feeling about him. The train station seemed normal. As he looked at his younger siblings, Peter could not tell if they too felt a little weird, waiting for the train to come pick them up. They seemed fine, but that was not a real way to tell what they thought. Looks certainly can be deceiving. With a small sigh, Peter decided to let it go, and led his siblings to where they were supposed to wait for the train. He would not allow himself to look worried for their sake. Maybe it was just nothing, and he was only over analyzing the situation. Of course, it would be real easy to do that. No, he was only imagining this feeling. Yes, Peter was sure of it, and he could not be affected by it. He needed to be an example, and what kind of message would he be giving to Susan, Edmund, or Lucy, if he seemed disturbed by a small feeling.
So, Peter let himself glance around, trying to focus his thoughts on something other than the feeling inside him. He let his thoughts focus on Lucy. It would be her first time at a boarding school. She certainly looked excited, but he sense that she was nervous too. Peter recalled the first time he went to boarding school. He had hated leaving his family and being surrounded by new people. He just was not comfortable, and that was that. Lucy was certainly more eager and active that he was at her age, and Peter felt sure Lucy would do just fine. As Peter let his attention move toward the surrounding area he noticed everything was quiet?too quiet, and this did not help but make Peter slightly more skeptical. Where was the bustle of people, the sound of trains? Just as he turned to see if either of his sisters or brother noticed this, Peter felt a pull. It was not painful, but rather uncomfortable, forceful, if anything, and Peter didn?t like it. He wondered what was happening, but before he could make any move, the force became stronger and the scene about him began to change. Flashes of colors flew about him, his limbs yearning to rest. It was as if someone was pulling him, and Peter tried to turn to see who it was, or what it was, only to discover he could not move. He was frozen in place. At first he thought that Susan had pulled him.
?Susan, stop pulling me," Peter said, only to find that his siblings here also being pulled.
Suddenly everything around him calmed and his arms did get a rest. Everything about him was still again and the unusual pulling was gone. Edmund had said it best, and now Peter could not help but agree: magic brought them here. Looking around, Peter knew he was not in the train station any more. That was for certain. Peter lifted his head with a jolt and looked around?.Where was he? That was now the question that filled his mind now.
He was surrounded by sounds of water crashing against rocks. Everything about him, however was dark. He could not tell where the body of water was. Peter suddenly felt a little chilly as he turned to look around. It only too a few seconds for him to realize that he was in a dark, damp cave. His thoughts were suddenly interrpted by Lucy's instatance to to go and explore the land. Peter could not help but smile at this. She was always the one up for an adventure, always eager to explore. Peter didn?t blame Lucy, though, for he was equally curious. Where was he? Could he possibly be back in Narnia? It was hard to tell, for things look much different than before.
