7. London was swamped in fear and darkness. Light was a disease which the city was keen to eradicate itself of at night. Within the Pevensie household, much was still and stagnant. Lucy was in her cold bed, attempting to sleep, whilst the rest of the house remained on high alert. Behind an old window sill, Edmund peered out into the cold, desolate and scared city of London. He just wondered and hoped, that this would all end soon. In fact the whole of the city did, they were exhausted of feeling vulnerable like a helpless animal in a pen. Tonight however Edmund felt different. He had a confidence in his manner as he scanned the evening sky. No longer was he the mouse running but the cat scanning its next hunt. “Get out of that window!” whistled Peter in a whispered undertone. Peter was the eldest of all of the children in the Pevensie household. Whilst he was highly respected by Edmund, they did often have clashes of opinion. Edmund often pushed the boundaries of safety whereas Peter wished to provide security for the family with his mature attitude. Quietly, the house waited for further noise to emerge from outside. As the night aged, throats and mouths began to draw drier with fear. Outside on the London street, the trees began to chatter to each other as they swayed in the brisk wind. Document five

8. Document six:“Come on – that’s her! That’s the one!”He felt Adelaide shrink away beside him: paralysed again. Nervously, he grabbed her hand as the men came out of the hut, and they turned and shot back the way they’d come. There were no side turnings: the walls of the warehouses rose sheer and dark on either side. “Run, now! Run, Adelaide!” He cried, his voice blistered with panic.In the nick of time, he saw an opening on the left and flung himself into it, dragging her after him; and then round a left-hand corner, and then a right, until the men were out of sight. “Where to?’ he panted, his face red with exhaustion. ‘Come on, quick – I can hear them”“Shadwell way,’ she gasped, glancing behind her to check for any sign of the pursuing predators. ‘Oh Jim, they’re coming for me.”“Shut up and don’t be stupid. They’re not coming for you. No one’s coming for you. She only said that to frighten you. She wants Sally, not you. Come on, how do we get to Shadwell?”They were in a little place called Pearl Street – hardly wider than an alley. Tall, stately houses hung over the narrow cobbled road like the branches of a spindly tree. In some areas, they hunched so far forward they almost touched the houses on the opposite side, which made the road beneath impenetrably dark – especially at night. Oil lamps with flickering flames pierced the darkness in some areas and spilled yellow blotches of light onto the cobbles. A cold mist blanketed the ground, causing a cold shiver down Adelaide’s spine. An intense feeling of dreadful anticipation hung over them like a patch of thick fog. They looked to left and right, indecisively. “There they are!” came a cry from behind them, and pounding footsteps echoed from the walls.Once again they fled. But Adelaide was tiring, and Jim was short of breath; another corner, and another, and another, and still those heavy footsteps continued to follow them. In desperation, Jim flung himself down a little court so narrow he could hardly squeeze through, thrusting Adelaide ahead of him. She tripped. He fell on top of her, and gasped, and lay still.Something moved in the passage ahead of them – a quick, scuttling sound like a rat. Adelaide flinched, and pressed her face into his neck.

9. It started as any other ordinary evening - if you could call bombings, air-raid sirens, rationing and devastation ordinary, that is. When the piercing wail of the air-raid sirens filled the skies, we knew exactly what to do. We may have been living through the Blitz, but for us, life was ordinary - we didn’t know any different.  At five o’clock I stood at my window and watched the street below. The occasional car whizzed past and children clung to their mother’s skirts as they rushed to be indoors before night shrouded the streets in its velvet blanket. Above the rooftops of the houses across the road, darkness seemed to rise in a fury. It quickly became apparent that it wasn’t night that was approaching, but a thick, black smoke which rapidly filled the air and consumed everything within its reach. Fire. Burning. Something was wrong. Before long, the sinister wail of air-raid sirens filled the air. How I hated that persistent, undulating sound which brought with it a hideous sense of foreboding. Every instance was a false alarm, like a naughty child banging on the door and running away - the bombs never fell near us. “I shan’t take cover.” I whispered to myself. “The smoke is from fire a long way from here. I’m safe. I shall watch and see what happens.” A cry interrupted my thoughts, “Lights out! Turn the lights out!” Across the street, curtains were pulled and lights extinguished. We were truly in darkness. I shivered in anticipation as I stood, watching, waiting to see what happened. Searchlights scoured the sky for enemy planes, their beams stretching far into the blackness. Nothing, of course. “False alarm!” I shouted at them, “There’s nothing there!” As the words left my mouth a shape emerged from the rooftops in front of me: a huge, winged monster, with a roar so loud and so deep that the windows rattled. Then another, and another and another. This was no false alarm! I stood, paralysed by fear, watching as enemy planes poured over the houses. Fire filled the sky. Crashes and booms accompanied violent explosions, resonating overhead.  “Thomas! Thomas!” Never had the frantic cry from my mother been so welcoming. Running to the door I whimpered back,“I’m coming Mother, I’m coming.” One last glance at the window revealed an angry, red sky over the burning city. I turned and ran to the sanctuary of my mother’s arms, safe at last.Document seven:
