Miracle {Edmund X Reader}

II

-Y/N-

The walk up to the ruins was long and taxing, but it did well to dry my clothes. Once up there, we all looked around. The ruins were rubble around us. There was a large circular space with broken down walls around. Lucy walked up to a tree, taking off an apple. She threw it to me, and I caught it. She took off her shoes, took an apple for her own, and continued searching.

The siblings dispersed, each going their own way. I found no need for Edmund's jacket, now that I was dry, so I took it off my shoulders and held it in my hands. I took a bite out of the apple, relishing its sweetness, then walked towards Edmund as he was crouching down, assessing something on the ground.

"Thank you." I spoke, extending my hand with the jacket in it. Edmund looked up, noticing me. He stood up and didn't take his eyes away.

"I think you should keep it until you find more... proper clothes." He replied. I looked down at my sweatpants and tank top. It seemed fine to me, but considering these people looked like they belonged to medieval times, they probably thought I was practically naked. I remembered learning about all the layers of clothing women had to wear in this time period.

"Oh no, are my shoulders too distracting for you?" I grumbled, putting the jacket around me once more. I was suddenly conscious of myself.

"Not your shoulders, but you are quite the distraction." Edmund said, grabbing the apple from my hands, then brushing past me and walking away. I froze, slightly taken aback at his... flirtatious comment? I heard him crunch and take a bite out of it. I turned around, ready with a reply for him but Lucy interrupted me.

"I wonder who lived here." She said. Susan noticed something on the ground and picked it up.

"I think we did." Susan peered closely at the object. The rest of us walked over to her, gathering around.

"Hey, that's mine...from my chess set." Edmund noticed, taking the object in his hand.

"Which chess set?" Peter asked.

"Well, I didn't exactly have a solid gold chess set in Finchley, did I?" Edmund replied sarcastically.

"Finchley? Is that in London? You're not originally from Narnia?" I asked as I suddenly came to the realization. They all looked towards me.

"No, the first time we came here, we accidentally wandered in." Susan started to explain. "We're from the real world, like you. Except a different place..." Susan took a glance at my clothes. "And I think a different time period too."

"What year is it in your world?" I asked.

"1941." Peter replied. My eyes widened.

"1941? I'm from the year 2021." I said. Their surprise was much greater than mine.

"You from the future?" Susan looked at me closely. They all did.

"What's it like?" Edmund asked.

"Lots of technology. More freedom. More equal rights." I summarized. Peter looked like he wanted to ask me more questions, but Lucy suddenly ran off.

"It can't be." She mumbled as she stood in the middle of the large dais spread beneath us. We all followed and ran after her, wondering what she had seen.

"Don't you see?" She exclaimed. She took a hold of Peter's hand and guided him to stand in a certain spot.

"What?" Peter questioned.

"Imagine walls..." Lucy whispered as she pulled Susan along too, making her stand next to Peter. "And columns there..." Lucy pointed as she dragged Edmund. "And a glass roof." She finished, taking her spot next to Edmund.
