before the return
The next year after the Kings and queens and servant of the High King of Narnia returned the first time. The four were in the library playing ' Trivial Pursuit' with the professor's niece,Cecilia. it was raining very hard and didn't look as if it would let up soon.
Susan, Lucy and Cecilia looked quite bored with the game. Lucy said, " This game is boring. Peter, can we please play a different game?"
Peter snuck a glance at Cecilia,thinking she wouldn't notice. Little did he know, she saw him and looked down at her hands while she felt heat rise to her cheeks. Peter said, "Alright, what game do you want to play , Lu?"
Lucy's face lit up instantly, causing Cecilia to smile knowing what Lucy was going to say. "Hide and seek!" Lucy said causing Peter to smile at his youngest sibling before saying to the others "do you all want to play hide and seek with Lucy?"
Cecilia said "ooh,good idea! Besides, hide and seek sounds soo much more fun than ' Trivial Pursuit'. What do you think, Susan?" They all looked at Susan waiting for her answer. Susan said smiling, " I agree with Cecilia. What about you, Ed?" Turning to look at Edmund; who looked as miserable as the weather. He said," Ugh, fine; even if it's a children's game."
Peter smiled and started to count " 1..2..3.." Everyone except Cecilia left the room. All she wanted to do was be alone with Peter. Sensing her in the room, Peter said without looking, " if there is anyone in the room, which I know there is; you should be hiding."
Cecilia smiled at this and left the room to go hide. She ran through the house frantically trying to find the best hiding spot. She knew they were not allowed to go into her uncle's office when he was in there. She cracked the door and peered inside. When she saw that he wasn't in there, she went and hid under his desk. Surely no one will find her there.
