Chapter 10: Reunited

~3rd Person P.O.V.~

Peter and Y/n walked out of a tent, hand in hand. The blonde kept the h/c close to him since the small attack from Maugrim. Oreius started to walk past the two, but stopped and made eye contact with them before looking over his shoulder.

The two followed his gaze, seeing Aslan talking to...

Edmund.

Oreius walked away while Peter and Y/n kept their gazes on the boy. Susan and Lucy walked out of their shared tent with Y/n, following the two older kids gazes, seeing their brother.

Lucy gasps in excitement and happiness upon seeing her brother. "Edmund!" Just as she's about to run forward, Peter stops her.

Both Edmund and Aslan look to the four kids, before Edmund shares more words to the lion, then walking towards his siblings and Y/n. Peter smiles softly at him, which only Y/n saw and squeezed his hand.

Aslan walks behind Edmund before the two stand in front of the four. Edmund makes eye contact with his brother, but looks away, feeling guilty. They all study Edmund's face. His lip was busted. And a scrape, that was turning into a bruise on his cheek.

"What's done is done." Aslan spoke. "There is no need to speak to Edmund about what is past." He then walks away.

"Hello." Edmund slowly says, glancing up at them.

His greeting was Lucy walking forwards, hugging him with a big smile on her face. She was so glad her brother was back. Susan and Y/n followed her, Y/n letting go of Peter's hand. Edmund smiled softly, his arms wrapping around his little sisters small frame.

Peter frowned, still staring at his brother as the two pulled and Edmund hugged Susan, then Y/n.

"Are you alright?" Y/n questioned her brother like figure.

"I'm a little tired." He smiled at her.

"Get some sleep." Peter spoke up, making all their gazes snap to him. Y/n frowned at Peter, which he noticed as Edmund walked past him and to the tent. "And Edmund..." the said boy looked back at his brother. "...try not to wander off." He smiled, to which Edmund smiled sheepishly back.

Susan, Y/n, Lucy, and Edmund all sat at a small table, eating food while Peter stood a couple feet away, leaning against a rock. Lucy watched as Edmund eagerly ate a piece of toast.

"Narnia's not going to run out of toast, Ed." She commented, making Edmund smile at her.

"I'm sure they'll pack something up for the journey back." Peter spoke, and all their gazes look to him.

"We're going home?" Susan asks.

"You are." He walks towards them, then sitting beside Y/n. "I promised mum and Y/n's mum I'd keep you four safe. But it doesn't mean I can't stay behind and help."

"But they need us." Lucy objected. "All five of us."

"Lucy, it's too dangerous. You and Y/n almost drowned! Edmund was almost killed!" Peter squeezed Y/n's hand, his mind going to how worried he was when he tried looking for Y/n in the river.

"Which is why we have to stay." Edmund spoke, making them all look at him. "I've seen what the White Witch can do. And I've helped her do it. And we can't leave these people behind to suffer for it."

Lucy puts her hand on top of his, squeezing it gently.

"Well, I suppose that's it then." Y/n stands up, Susan then following.

The two walk towards their weapons as Peter speaks. "Where are you two going?"

Susan grabs her bow and arrows while Y/n grabs her sword. "To get in some practice." Susan answers.
