The next day was a warm, bright sunny day. The five children went outside to play a game, thinking it was a good weather to play outdoors. Peter, Susan and Edmund played cricket game. While Dawn was practicing her singing voice and Lucy sat by the tree reading a book. Edmund just stood there daydreaming doing nothing.

"Peter winds up, poised to take yet another wicket!" He shouted as he threw the cricket ball and hits Edmund in the leg.

"Ow!" Edmund complained as he snapped out of thoughts, rubbing his leg.

"Whoops!" Peter laughed. "Wake up, Dolly Daydream!" Susan picked up the ball and tossed it on the ground.

"Why can't we play hide and seek again?" Edmund whined. Lucy pouted at him in the distance.

"I thought you said it was a kids game." Peter replied as he picked up the ball.

"Besides, we could all use the fresh air." Susan smiled.

"It's not like there is air inside." Edmund disagreed. Susan frowned at her brother.

"Are you ready?" Peter asked.

"Are YOU?" Edmund retorted, hitting the ground with a cricket bat. Peter threw the ball and Edmund, with all his might, ruthlessly thwacked it with a bat. He hit the ball so hard that it flew into the mansion window, breaking it and causing more crashing sounds. Dawn's singing and Lucy's reading was interrupted by the sound of the crash. They both gave Edmund the 'you're in trouble' look. The children rushed into the mansion and to the library, where the window was broken and the suit of armour was crashed onto the floor. Peter looked at the broken window shook his head in disbelief. "Well done, Ed...!" He scolded his brother.

"You bowled it!" Edmund said back.

"What on earth is going on?!" They heard Mrs. Macready's angry voice and her footsteps.

"The Macready!" Susan gasped.

"Run!" Peter commanded. They scrambled around the house looking for somewhere to hide.

"Come on!" Peter said. They all ran upstairs. The five friends continued running wild, but the footsteps happened to be everywhere.

"No, no, no!" Edmund said. "Back, back, back!" He led his siblings and friend to the spare room where the wardrobe was located. "Come on!" Edmund ordered them.

The four children entered the spare room.

"You've got to be joking." Susan coldly replied. Dawn rolled her eyes. The children rushed into the wardrobe followed by Peter. He then peaked to the crack of the door to double checked to see if Mrs. Macready is coming or not. The footsteps fell silent.

"Get back." Peter said. Then the children started backing up making complaining sounds.

"My toe!" Lucy complained.

"I'm not on your toe!" Edmund said angrily. "Move back!"

"Ow, gosh, my hair!" Dawn whined.

"Will you stop shoving?!" Peter scolded Edmund. They continued fussing at each other and Peter and Susan fell backwards on the ground of snow. They got up under the tree branches covered in dark green leaves and looked around the place.

"Impossible..." Susan gasped.

"Don't worry." Lucy smiled. "I'm sure it's just part of your imagination."

"No, Lucy..." Dawn breathed. "It really feels real! Almost like a dream!" Dawn slowly spun around as she looked up at the white sky.

"I don't suppose saying we're sorry would quite cover it." Peter stammered.

"No." Lucy said as she picked up a chunk of snow and rolled them into a ball. "But that might!" She threw it at her brother. Peter threw one back at Lucy and all the friends started a snowball fight, except Edmund. He was still standing there looking at the two mountains. He was snapped out of thoughts when Dawn and Susan threw their snowballs at him.

"Ow!" Edmund angrily complained. "Stop it!" Everyone turned their attention to him.

"You little liar." Peter glared at him.

"You didn't believe her either." Edmund talked back.

"Apologize to Lucy." Peter commanded him. "And say you're sorry!" He raised his voice as he stepped up towards Edmund.

"Alright!" Edmund said impatiently. "I'm sorry!" He glanced at his younger sister but didn't apologized in a sincere way.

"It's alright." Lucy said. "Some of the little children just don't know when to stop pretending."

Edmund made a face at her. "Very funny." He scoffed.

"Maybe we should go back." Susan said.

"But shouldn't we at least take a look around?" Edmund asked.

"I don't mind either of them." Dawn said. But her boyfriend had an idea. "I think Lucy should decide." Peter suggested. Lucy gasped in excitement and joy. "I'd like you all to meet Mr. Tumnus!" She said happily.

"Then Mr. Tumnus it is!" Peter agreed with a smile.

"But we can't go hiking in the snow dressed like this!" Susan said.

"Yeah, it's so chilly out here..!" Dawn shuddered. Peter nodded and went to get fur coats from the wardrobe. "We can wear these." He said. "I'm sure the Professor won't mind." Peter starts handing out the fur coats to his siblings and his girlfriend. He gave a chocolate brown fur coat to Lucy, a dark brown coat to Susan and a black fur coat to Dawn. "Anyway, if you think about it logically...we're not even taking them out of the wardrobe."  He said as he lastly shoved a puffy grey fur coat at Edmund.

"But that's a girl's coat!" Edmund whined.

"I know." Peter said as he shrugged his shoulders. Dawn kept up trying not to laugh and Lucy gave Dawn a little smile.

And the five children started walking along the snowy trails in the forest. They absolutely enjoyed playing in the snow. Peter and Dawn held hands and they both slid down the hill laughing. Susan and Lucy made angels in the snow. But Edmund was in his world the whole time all sullen. He kept thinking about something else that other people might not understand.

"We're gonna be eating lots and lots of lovely food." Lucy told the four children. "and we'll have lots and lots of... " Her words froze as Everyone notices the broken down door.

"Lu?" Peter said. Lucy gasped and ran to Mr. Tumnus' cave. The others went after her. "Lucy!" Peter called out. The five children arrived inside the cave. It was completely ransacked. The cave was dark, cold and smelled like no one has ever lived in for several days. Many furniture was broken into pieces including the cups. The table was flipped, many books were torn into shreds and the picture of a Faun was slashed with what it looked to be claws.

"Who would do something like this?" Lucy asked, in shock. Dawn bit her lip and shut her eyes for a few seconds as it reminded her of her grandparents' destroyed house back in England. She toyed with her crucifix necklace as this scene gave her a little trauma. Peter noticed a paper pinned on the wall.

"What is it?" Dawn asked her boyfriend.

"I think it might be a proof of what happened." Peter answered. He took the paper off of the wall and began to read what it said. The others gathered around Peter, except Edmund. The paper said:

The former occupants of these premises; the Faun Tumnus, is under arrest and is hereby charged of high treason against her Imperial Majesty Jadis; Queen of Narnia, Chatelaine of Cair Paravel, Empress of the Lone Islands, etc. Also for comforting her enemies and fraternizing with humans.

Signed Maugrim, Captain of the Secret Police

Long Live the Queen!

Dawn put her hand over her mouth. "Oh God!" She gasped. The friends glanced at each other. Susan was getting worried. "Now we REALLY should go back." Susan said worryingly.

"But what about Mr. Tumnus?" Lucy asked.

"If he was arrested just for being with a human, I don't think there's much we can do." Susan told her sister.

"You don't understand, do you?" Lucy tried to reason with her siblings and Dawn. "I'm the human!!! She must have found out he helped me!" Edmund turned his head away from them.

"Maybe we could call the police." Peter said.

"These are the police." Susan corrected her brother, showing him what it said on the paper.

"Don't worry, Lu." Peter comforted his youngest sister. "We'll figure out something."

"Yeah.." Dawn sighed, toying with her crucifix around her neck. "Hopefully."

"Why?!" Edmund scoffed. "I mean...he's a criminal!"

"He might not be, Edmund..." Dawn told him. Edmund snorted. "Of course he is!" Dawn rolled her eyes and ignored him. Then, outside of the cave, a robin flew down on the branch. "Pssst!" It tweeted. Susan saw the robin and turned to the other four.

"That bird just 'pssst' us!" She told them. Peter peeked out of the cave.

"Hello?" He said, looking around. The five went out of Mr. Tumnus' cave and and felt someone or something spying on them. They huddled into each other in fear. And there it was...a brown animal with round flat tail. A beaver.
