When Mr Beaver hailed, that there is no time to lose, everybody with the exception of Mrs Beaver started wearing coats. She began to pack food in sacks, which she gave us later. I got the smallest one. Finally, we all went outside. He-Beaver locked the door and we hit the road. Snow stopped falling and the moon came out from behind the clouds. We walked in Indian file.
Scenery was beautiful. When we walked and walked, my sack started to be more and more heavier. I stopped looking at frozen surface of lakeand stars. I saw only Mr Beaver's paws in front of me. Later, the moon hidden and snow started falling again. I've already felt asleep in walk. Suddenly, I realized that He-Beaver turned right and dissapeared in a little hole. I stopped and crawled into the hole. It was an old beaver's hideout used in bad times. We had to sleep there for few hours.
When we got up, we heard a sound of jingling bells. Mr Beaver leaped out from hole. I thought that it was stupid. We were waiting for him for 5 minutes, till we heard voices! I thought, that He-Beaver was caught! But suddenly, he asked us to left the cavity. It turned out, that animal met Santa Claus! He was a big man in a red coat. He said, that he was finally here and the enchantment of White Witch lost its power. I was so happy, that I can't even describe it! Santa Claus gave us presents! Mrs Beaver got a new sewing machine. Mr Beaver got a finished dam. Peter got a silver shield and a sword with a golden handle. Susan got a bow with darts and a horn, which she can use when she is in trouble. I got a little bottle with medicine for wounds and a dagger. For all of us, he has a big tray with five cups on saucers, a bowl with sugar, a jug with cream and a kettle with tea. Then Santa yelled "Merry Christmas!" and drove away. We came back to hole and had a breakfast. Later, we got an underway again.
We were marvelling, that winter ends and the whole forest is getting green so fast. I thought that this spring, had to herald something bad for White Witch. We knew, that now she can't go by sleigh, so we could let ourselves for longer rests. I was tired and sleepy, but I felt calmly. It started to getting darker, but Mr Beaver provided us, that we are near Stone Table. He guided us up the slope. I was thinking, if I will reach the top, but suddenly I realized that I did it. I saw a big forest with the Stone Table in the middle. On the side, there was a tent with a pennant with a red lion. When we were standing like this, we heard a music. We turned around and we saw a goal of our journey. In the middle of semicircle made of the diffrent strange creatures (nymphs, dryads, centaurs, an unicorn, a bull with a head of a man, a big dog, leopards, a pelican and an eagle), there was Aslan. He was so majestatic, that I didn't know what to say or do. He had a golden mane and royal eyes. Weird fear gripped me. My older brother approached to the Lion and greeted him. Aslan said 'hello' and asked us, where was Edmund. He-Beaver said, that he had betrayed us. I asked Lion, if we can help my brother. He said 'yes', but for me, he looked very sad. Aslan commanded Ladies to lead us to tent and help us in everything.
When we were in a tent, suddenly, a big WOLF appeared from nowhere. I was SCARED! I managed to escape on time, but Susan stayed in a tent. I was haring off to Peter and I knew, that I'm white as paper from fear. I saw my sister sprinting to the tree and climbing on it. One of her feet was hanging about a dozen or so centimeters from wolf's jaw! My brother rushed to help. He took his sword and killed an animal. My sister was saved! Suddenly, I heard Aslan's voice. He wanted centaurs to follow another wolf, which was hiding in the bushes. Then, Lion approached to Peter, took his sword and named him 'Sir Peter Wolf's-Bane'.
After all these events, I went to tent and felt asleep. I was tired and exhausted.
Kisses, Lucy
