The Stone
By: Alexa

 

Chris and Anna just came home from school. Chris was 8 years old and in 3rd grade and Anna was 6 years old in 1st grade. Chris and Anna were brother and sister but were like friends!!

Everyday they went down to the creek and played with stones, but this time it was different. Anna found a weird looking stone that was in a shape in a sun, and was goldfish silver. Then Chris found 2 more sunstones, which were boiling hot! He threw them back in the creek and they skipped back at him in the face.  “ANNNA!” called Chris. He could not get the stone off his face.


Anna ran over and took off the stone. Anna told him about the stone she found. Anna carefully took the sunstone and placed it with the stones that Chris had, than “Boom” everything stopped! Anna and Chris feel into a deep sleep.
They were whooshed into a world where everything was different; Chris and Anna were in Narnia. It was very cold. Chris took out his thermometer and it was 22 degrees. Anna was very happy to see snow; Chris and Anna have never seen snow because they live in Mississippi and it is hot there.


All of a sudden, Anna screamed. She saw a weird looking thing and then Chris screamed, too! Then the weird looking thing said in a gentle voice, “Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you.”


Anna was the first to speak up. “WWWhat are you?”


“I am a faun of Queen Marie,” said the faun.


Then Chris said, “Who are you?”


“I am a faun of Narnia,” repeated the faun. “My name is Mr. Humberflute.” Then Mr. Humberflute said, “Come with me to my home.”


“Oh, Chris could we go for a little bit?” asked Anna.


“Oh, OK, only for a little bit,” Chris agreed.


So, Mr. Humberflute took then into his tiny little home. It had a bed on the side, with a rock as a night stand and sand now as a cover. Next to that was a metal pot over the fire to bake food. There was a sink to wash things. Next to that were 2 couches and a coffee table.

Mr. Humberflute said, “Come sit down with me and I’ll play my flute for you.”


Anna and Chris sat down on the couches and Mr. Humberflute started playing his flute. Slowly, Chris and Anna began falling asleep, but then “Boom!” Chris and Anna were in a different world with ice all over. Ice kingdoms made of ice! Chris had read a fake book about it, but he never thought it was real!! Then a pretty Queen came up and said, “Who art thou I?”


“I am Chris and this is Anna,” Chris replied.


Next, Mr. Humberflute talked in a weird language mumbling something “ersd trurreessffgg.”


Then, Queen Marie replied, “fgers asxz.”


Chris, Anna, and Mr. Humberflute walked to their house, but it took about 1 hour more than last time. They arrived at the house and ate a white colored thing that was puffy with hints of petal pink and baby blue and yellow. Mr. Humberflute said it was called “anneder.”


It tasted like a little piece of Heaven. Then, Mr. Humberflute gave them a drink that looked like a cupcake in a drink. He said it was called “sungrew.” Oh, now this tasted like a drink sent down from Heaven. Mr. Humberflute said it was the best in Narnia.  Next, Anna asked, "Anyway, how do we get out of here?"


And that is where my story ends. Will they ever get out of Narnia?!?!
