There was a blinding light and Edmund found himself in an all too familiar room . His bedroom . At Cair Paravel . He could've sworn he hadn't been here a second ago . He was sure he was with - he was in - hadn't he -


" You're awake ! " Lucy threw open his door " , Susan ! Peter ! He's awake ! " Had she been sitting there the whole time ?! Wait that's wasn't important right now . He was forgetting some . . . thing ??? His siblings rushed into the room followed by a physician. He lost his train of thought . The doctor did her check up as the other Pevensie's started dotting on him for coming home in such bad condition . But it wasn't the strange bruise-like feeling in his ribs that bugged him . He was use to that after a good sparing match. What irked him was the mental road block .


Lucy piled into his bed giving him the gentlest hug she could manage . " I missed you , " she whispered but he barely heard her . He was too busy eavesdropping on on the older pair and doctor . " Bruises gone . . . pupils . . . possible trauma " were a few phrases he caught . As Susan ushered the physician out of the room , he locked eyes with Peter . There was a hint of betrayal there but also relief and a sort of " DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU'VE DONE ! " yeah that was it . Oh Wait ! He was being yelled at . " We were worried sick ! Never . I repeat . Never do that again . Do you understand me , young man ? " Ed burst out laughing . He didn't mean to but he couldn't control it . He covered his mouth in a failed attempt to shut himself up . " What is your problem ? " Peter continued his lecture . Edmund shook his head " , nothing , nothing . I think she rubbed off on me . " WAIT ! who was she ? His siblings exchanged glances but kept their mouths shut .


Hadn't the doctor said something about his head ? was it memory loss ? The looks on his older brother and sister's faces seemed guilty almost as if what he said upset them , that he remembered she . He didn't but they didn't need to know that . Not until he got to the bottom of it . Once he realised no one was going to break the new found silence so he took it upon himself . Edmund looked around the room " , Where is . . . she ? " His question hung in the air for quite some time . He wanted to ask again but Susan answered first " , Caspian is out looking for Y/N , you know how attached he is to her . " 


Y/N , close to Cas . Edmund tried to hide the fact that he was making mental notes . Or maybe he could use it to his advantage . " We weren't together ? " Lucy was the one to answer this time , her head hung low . " No , " she said softly " , It was just you , bruised by the gat . " She choked back a sob . She must've been terrified to find him like that . Peter helped her finish the story . " Luce and Reep found you , they said it was like someone threw you out of a cart . Your eyes barely opened yesterday but you sleep talked once to mention your diary .

" My notebook ? " Edmund corrected . Susan cut in " , yeah . We tried checking for clues but everything is in that language you made up in primary school . " AH HA ! And they said sentimentality made him soft ! " Alright , " Edmund feigned stretching then immediately crippled at his ' oh so serious ' pain . He sucked in air " , I'll read it later , can you put it on my nightstand , I think I need to lie down . " but he didn't .


Once he was sure they were out of the room he began sifting through the pages of his notebook . He started from the last thing he recalled before the mental wall . I saw something swirl into existence from his balcony .
