When they got out of the room Peter and Susan met Lucy and Edmund. Peter and Edmund went to the suit of Armour to check if they can shred it to bits and pieces. Mrs. Mack-ready has guests and she doesn't want to be interrupted by children. Lucy and Susan ran upstairs and told the two boys that Mack-ready is coming. They quickly ran to somewhere to hide but all the rooms were all locked and the footsteps were getting closer and closer. Lucy had an idea. They went into the spare room and into the wardrobe. All of them went further and further until they could feel snow under their feet. Suddenly Susan and peter caught a glimpse of Narnia. They rubbed their eyes and noticed that it was real. They were in Narnia.

Chapter 6: Peter apologized to Lucy about his words and Lucy forgave him. Peter told every one that Lucy will be their leader. She inquired to go to Mr Tumnus' house first. But when they got there, they saw that the hinges were broken and and the door was torn apart. They went inside and found a letter hammered to the carpet. They went out side to read it and  read it. After reading it, they found out that the faun was sentenced to treason after being friends with a human. Susan suggested they go home just because all that is happening is creepy. Peter told her they have to help the Faun. She said yes and decided to go to him but they didn't know how. They saw a robin with a red chest and Lucy talked to it. It flew to the next tree, then the next then the next down the hill. They noticed that They were following it down the hill. They did not know if the bird was with the white queen or it is a good bird. They just kept following the robin down the steep hill.

Chapter 7: While they were following the robin, they heard a bush move. They all turned around but they saw no one. When they turned around, they saw that the robin was gone. they heard the bush move again and they saw a beaver. The beaver held his finger up to his mouth just like telling them to keep quiet. Lucy told the others to follow the beaver. They kept following the beaver until they came to a frozen river. They also saw a house made out of sticks from trees. The beaver invited them all in and spoke to them. Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy was surprised to see a talking beaver. Another beaver was cooking some dinner. It turns out that the 2 beavers are a couple. Mr. beaver told the 2 boys to come with him to collect some food to be cooked and the girls helped Mrs. beaver to set up the table. When everything was finished, they all had a meal. When they were all finished eating, Susan, Lucy, Peter and Mrs. beaver washed the dishes while Edmund walked outside to see the 2 hills. He thought that that is where the queens's house was with Turkish delight and a throne. He went to the castle without any permission from his brother and traveled off.


Chapter 8: As for the Lucy, Susan and Peter, Mr and Mrs beaver were talking to them about Aslan. They kept asking Mr and Mrs beaver about what was Aslan like. Lucy was wondering if he was dangerous. Peter was asking if he was good or bad. And Susan was asking if he is a man. Everyone had a different question to ask about Aslan. Also they had talked about Mr Tumnus. the Beavers told them that Mr Tumnus might get turned into stone because of his betrayal to the Queen. They also talked about how the witch will punish Mr Tumnus by turning him into stone. After talking about loads of stuff, Lucy asked everyone about where is Edmund. Everyone paused a moment and started asking who saw him last. They all went outside and called fr Edmund until their throat were soar. Mr Beaver told Lucy Susan and Peter that he had a bad feeling that Edmund was going to the Witch's house. Peter asked if he was sure. Mr beaver told them that when he first saw Edmund he already saw that Edmund was on the witch's side. Peter asked him if he had ever gone inside. Lucy interrupted the conversation with a big "YES". Susan told everyone that they should go to the witch's house. Mr beaver said that it was a bad idea to go there for the queen might have 4 new statues to her collection of statues. They asked Mr. beaver about what to do. He told them the safest place they could to is Aslan. Mrs beaver busted in the conversation and said what are we waiting for, lets go see Aslan!



Chapter 9: Lucy, Susan, Peter Mr and Mrs beaver were on a rush to see Aslan. They all packed their bags and headed off. While they were heading off into the distance, Edmund was going still to the witch's house. He was beginning to think that he should have just stayed with his siblings. He was getting farther and farther from the house and nearer to the witch's castle. When he got there, he noticed that her house was just a small castle full of towers and pointy tops. When he was getting nearer, he saw a lion looking at a small dwarf. He never dared to go near the lion because Edmund thought that the lion would eat him. He kept looking at the lion, but he noticed that the lion hasn't moved an inch. He found out that the lion was just a statue. Remembering what the beavers talked about, he thought that this was Aslan. He went on to look for the castle door. He saw that the door was very big. He opened the door and saw a wolf lying down on its belly. He thought it was a statue too getting ready to squash it with his foot. Then, the wolf rose up, and asked Edmund who he was. He said that he would to bring news to the witch. The wolf told the witch and invited Edmund in. The witch was very angry for Edmund had come alone. After Edmund had told her the news. The witch told her assistant to prepare a dungeon for Edmund, for he has done nothing the queen had told him to do.


Chapter 10: As for the others, they kept walking and walking until they came to a little cave. Mr and Mrs beaver told the kids to go inside because they know that the witch is coming for them. Mrs beaver pulled out a small bottle and handed it down to Peter. She told him to drink it and leave some for Lucy and Susan. They all drank it and fell fast asleep. When they woke up, it felt like they were only asleep for minutes, but actually, they were asleep for many hours. Suddenly they heard sleigh bells ringing. Mr beaver quickly went outside to see who it was. There was complete silence until, they heard noises. Lucy thought it was the queen and he have been captured. But, Mr beaver peeked into the cave and told the others to come out. When they came out, they saw someone whom they have never seen before, Santa Claus! He knew all the names of the children and he gave them some gifts.

FOR PETER: 

A SWORD AND A SHIELD

FOR SUSAN:

A BOW AND ARROWS

FOR LUCY:

 A DAGGER AND A BOTTLE 
Lucy was wondering what was inside the bottle. He said that inside the bottle contains a very special juice that just a few drops can heal someone. They all thank Him and he left. As for Edmund, the witch offered him a plate of Turkish delight. But he refused to eat it and instead gave it to Mr Tumnus whose dungeon is right next to Edmund's.

Chapter 11: Meanwhile, Edmund had been in his dungeon watching the dwarf as he prepared the sledge. After preparing, he let Edmund out his dungeon and the witch sat on the sledge. Then they rode off. While they were riding, the witch saw some animals having the feast of their lives. The witch asked them who gave the food to them and they said that father Christmas did. The witch was so angry that he turned all of the animals into stone. they then carried on. As they were riding through the ice, it began to seem to Edmund that it had been a little warmer. While Edmund was admiring the flowers blooming in the tress, the sledge got stuck in some mud. The witch told the dwarf and Edmund to push the sledge out of the mud but it won't bulge. The dwarf told the witch that would have to walk. He tied Edmund's hands behind him and they wandered off. As they walked, the green patches of land became bigger and bigger and the snow dripped off the trees. Aslan is nearer!



Chapter 12: While Edmund was walking as fast as he could, Lucy, Susan, Peter, Mr and Mrs beaver were walking down the road admiring the winter fading away. They had removed their coats and have been feeling the warmth of summer. They then realized that the witch was no longer going to be able to use her sledge. They then walked a little bit slower this time. After a few hours of walking they finally came to a big green land with tents and lots of magical creatures. They walked closer to it and they all realized that all eyes are on them. When they got to a big tent they saw a majestic creature very big, what they saw was a lion. The lion introduced itself as Aslan and welcomed them. He thanked the beavers for bringing them to him. But he asked where is the 4th one. They said that he joined the white witch and they might be looking for them now. Then Aslan told some women to take care of Susan and Lucy. Meanwhile, Aslan showed Peter a very big castle by the name of, Cair paravel. Aslan told Peter that there stood the 4 thrones of Narnia. Suddenly, he heard hid sister's horn. He quickly grabbed his sword and he saw Lucy and Susan on top of a tree with a hungry wolf at the bottom of the tree. He quickly stabbed his sword in the wolf's chest the wolf laid. Aslan came running with some men that are half horse. Quickly, Peter freed the wolf and it ran. Aslan told the Centaurs (the men that are half horse) to follow the wolf for it will lead them to Edmund. Aslan told Peter to clean his sword and kneel down. Then Aslan said:

"Rise up, Sir Peter Wolf's-Bane. And never forget to clean your sword." - Aslan

Chapter 13: Now we go back to Edmund who has been having the worst time of his life because the witch told the dwarf to tie him to a tree very tightly. The witch and the dwarf were also discussing if they would go to the stone table or just wait here. While Edmund was tied to the tree, he heard noises coming towards him. He heard some creatures saying all kind of stuff and some creatures was letting him free. Then, going back to Peter and his sisters, they had just woken  up from their sleep and was eating breakfast. They then received the news that their brother was here. They quickly ate their breakfast and went outside. There, they saw their brother talking with Aslan on a green patch of land. Then, the witch came and announced that Edmund, needs to be with her because all of the creatures that betray or do something bad, their blood is the witches property. Edmund must also be killed on the stone table. Aslan told the witch that they must talk alone. After a few minutes, they have gone out of Aslan's massive tent.

"How will I know if you will keep your promise?" The witch asked

"Haa-arr-ah" Aslan let out a big roar and the witch ran for her life

Chapter 14: After the witch and Aslan had talked, everyone was dying to ask Aslan what they had talked about. Although they wouldn't dare because they saw how ferocious and terrifying Aslan can be. Then supper passed and the children were ready to sleep. Peter and Edmund were asleep but Lucy and Susan were not. They had a very bad feeling about Aslan that they decided to go outside and there, they saw the figure of a lion walking towards the woods. They quietly follow Aslan through the woods but since Aslan saw their shadows, The girls asked him if they could follow him. Aslan said yes but they would stop whenever he told them. They all went together. Then, Aslan told them to stop. The 2 girls hid behind some bushes and saw Aslan walk up the stone table. Susan and Lucy saw Aslan being tied, bound and his fur shaved off. Then the witch held a knife and held it up high like he was going to stab Aslan. But before she did. She bent own to Aslan and whispered. She then stabbed Aslan. The girls couldn't bare to watch.

Chapter 15: As the creatures and the witch were walking right past them, they went to Aslan and burst into tears. They removed the thing on his mouth and began to recognize him. They couldn't untie the ropes because it was too tight, then, they saw little rats climbing ontoAslan. Susan wanted them to go away but Lucy was thinking another thing. They both looked closer and saw that they were chewing the ropes so that they could remove it. Then, after a few minutes they started to feel cold, they stood up and walked around. When their feet were soar they wanted to go home but was distracted by a sound of cracking. Sounded like the table had been broken. They looked to the stone table and out that Aslan was not there. Then they saw a figure of a great and proud lion in the distance. It was Aslan! They both went to hug him tightly. Aslan, Susan, and Lucy all rolled on the grass together. Then, Aslan told both of them to ride on him for they are going somewhere. They ran through the trees, over bushes and over rivers. Then they finally saw a huge ice castle. They thought that it was the witches castle. Then, Aslan got a big run up and he leaped over the huge gate. They saw a huge collection of statues. Then, Aslan walked up to a dwarf and then blew on him. He came alive! Aslan is here!

Mr. Tumnus is the one with the red scarf

Chapter 16: Now, in the witch's castle that is full of statues. They saw Aslan go up to a lion like him and when he blew on it, it came to life. It had no idea what happened, because he had been prancing around all of the statues like there has been chasing a creature. Then, Lucy saw that the magic spread across the room and all of the statues had come to life. The room was filled with dryads, tree ents
and all sorts of magical creatures. Then, Aslan told all the creatures to search the whole house to find other statues. Then, Lucy called for Aslan because she found Mr. Tumnus' statue. After a few minutes, all of the creatures have come alive. Then, Aslan asked the giant to open the gate so that they could get out. Then, all of the creatures have come out sniffing the battle, running towards the battle and calling out the other creatures that are on Aslan's side. When they got to the battle, they saw almost all of the soldiers in Peter's side have been turned to stone. Then, Aslan climbed up a hill, roared very loudly and killed the witch.

Chapter 17: Then, when some of the witch's companions saw that she is dead, they either flew away or surrendered. Then, Peter remembering what his brother had done for Aslan told Aslan that Edmund had been hurt. Lucy, remembering the bottle she had, used it with Edmund. Then, Aslan called Lucy for she still needs to use it for the other creatures, Then when the battle was over, they all had dinner on the grassy lawn in their camp. Then, they all went to sleep. The next day, they all went to Cair paravel for the 4 siblings are going to get crown as kings and queens. Lucy was called, queen Lucy the valiant. Edmund was called, king Edmund the just. Susan was called , queen Susan the gentle. And Peter was called, king Peter the magnificent. For it was a happy day for everyone, Lucy was going to miss Aslan because he had left after the coronation. But, years passed and they all had grown into very good kings and queens. They never forgot the thing that Aslan told them.

"Once a king or queen in Narnia, always a king or queen in Narnia"

They had all been riding their horses through the woods when they saw the lamp post. It had been a familiar sight to them, although they can't quite remember it for it had been so many years since they traveled through Narnia. Then they went through a small passage way where they had, at first gone through trees. But now it felt like they are going through coats. Then, they got out of the wardrobe and found themselves back at the professor's house, wearing what they usually wore. The professor asked them what they had been doing in the wardrobe. They said he wouldn't believe them for it was a very exciting adventure.
