*SEQUEL TO MAYBE THIS TIME*
narnia has a knack for bringing estranged people back together.
after returning home from narnia, raina lost everything. she lost her family, and as a result of it, the pevensies too. she moved away for a fresh start, le...
Raina, Lucy and Edmund were then shown to some rooms where they could change, because their clothes were wet. Eustace was taken to a resting chamber, where he was still unconscious and honestly? That's better for everyone. Raina changed out of her wet shirt and pants, and slipped into an oversized white shirt and black pants and black boots. It was definitely more comfortable than what she wore prior, as it was body-hugging but this made her feel more relaxed. She thanked god that she always had a hair tie wrapped around her wrist, as she began to tame her hair and pull it into a medium high ponytail. She took a deep breath to calm her racing thoughts.

It's alright, Raina. You did this once before, of course you couldn't keep it up for long, but that doesn't matter. You're here, to help Narnia, not to get back together with him. Remember that. Don't get too deep, it'll just be even harder to get over when it ends. Raina told herself. She just needed to do what she needed to in Narnia, and go back home, finish her education, and move to the States, far away from the Pevensies, even when she wanted to tell Edmund that-
A knock came at the door, startling her. Raina walked up to the door and opened it to reveal Lucy, standing in similar clothing, her hair in a side ponytail, as she uncomfortably fidgeted in it.
'These are not comfortable.' Lucy whined. Raina chuckled.
'I think they're comfy. Certainly better than that clingy shirt I was wearing earlier.' Raina defended, jokingly. Lucy pouted as she entered her room and plopped down on a chair, giving Raina a serious look.
'Look, Raina, we need to talk.' She said, calmly. Raina's face was impassive, but nodded.
'I guess so. What's up?' She asked, subtly feigning cluelessness. Lucy pushed it aside.
'What happened?' She asked, simply. Raina maintained eye contact with Lucy for a moment before opening her mouth to speak. There was a slight degree of hesitation but she pushed it aside.
'Lucy, a lot of things happened over the past 2 and a half years which, truth be told, I don't have the capacity to delve into right now. At least not just yet, I'm sorry.' Raina admitted, her voice distant, with a twinge of sadness. Lucy noted the frown on Raina's face, along with her closed fists. She realised then that whatever happened, she still hasn't moved on. Lucy came forward and took Raina's hands and looked her dead in the eye.
'Raina, you know I care about you like you're my own sister. I also know how strong you are, so I trust you when you say you're not ready to talk just yet. I know you'll tell me when you're ready.' She explained as Raina noticeably relaxed.
'But I'm not the one you should apologise to.' Lucy said, knowingly. Raina took a shuddering breath as she faced Lucy.
'He hates me, doesn't he?' Raina asked, or more like stated. She chuckled mirthlessly. 'I don't blame him.'
'No.' Lucy defended, as she squeezed Raina's hands, encouragingly.
'He could never hate you, Raina. He just needs an explanation from you. He deserves that.' Lucy reminded her. Raina turned cold, distant.
