When she saw Narnia again, looking as if it had not aged a day since the last time she had seen it, Susan's heart leapt at the prospect of seeing her family again.
Her joy was short-lived, though, when she looked into the water and saw not her own face looking back at her, but that of the White Witch she had helped defeat so long ago.
