The Yellow Witch {BOOK 1} (Edmund x Reader)

~ 6 ~

Y/N:

After walking for a few minutes, I found myself in a dungeon made of ice. I shivered at the coldness of the area as I looked around.

I had little time to observe my surroundings before the dwarf pushed me into an ice cell. The dwarf locked my chains to the wall and shut the cell door, not before chuckling at my miserable state.

When the dwarf left, I leaned my head against the wall and let out a sigh. The ice on my face felt good on the cuts and bruises I was sure I had from the fall earlier.

After moments of boredom, I crawled over to the bars in the center wall to see if I had a cellmate.

I looked through the bars and smiled when I recognized a familiar fawn sitting in the corner of his cell, "Mr. Tumnus!" I called quietly.

He looked up at me, and his eyes lit up as he scooted closer to the window, "Dear Y/N, how did you get here?" He said, worry in his eyes.

"I came with Lucy's brother, Edmund," Tumnus sighed, "I think the White Witch put a spell on him," I added, "In fact, I can tell she has. He's different."

Tumnus furrowed his brow, "Tell me, Y/N, you're not related to Lucy, are you?" I cocked my head at his question.

"No, I'm not," I replied.

Tumnus's eyes lit up again with a smile, "The Yellow Witch," He mumbled.

I furrowed my brow, "The what?"

"Y/N," He reached through the bars and took my hand, "You're the Yellow Witch from the prophecy. You're destined to help Aslan defeat the White Witch."

My neck tensed up as I sputtered out noises, "I- what?"

Tumnus chuckled, "Now I don't know how to use your powers, but legends say the Yellow Witch will bring warmth through song."

"Singing?"

"I think."

"Oh, I can't sing."

"Just... try," Tumnus squeezed my hand, "It might help you get out of here," He whispered, gesturing towards the ice walls in the cell.

I squeezed his hand back, looking at the ice wall at the front of the cell. I shakily took a deep breath and decided to sing a song I liked.

(Song: Straight On by Evan Rachel Wood)

"There's no way I'm gonna sit this one out," As soon as I started singing, warmth replaced the cold that once took over my body. Tumnus let go of my hand, held my wrist, and faced the palm of my hand to the wall.

"I've gotta take a chance, now; not be a prisoner of doubt," I closed my eyes as I felt Tumnus's cold hand leave my wrist. The power that took over my body felt so natural, and I couldn't believe I hadn't discovered it before.

I opened my eyes to see yellow waves protruding on the ice from my hand. When the ice started melting, I looked at Tumnus, who motioned me to keep going.

I stood up to the best of my ability, using both hands to handle the almost uncontrollable power, "Gonna knock down the Wailing Wall; it ain't no sin," I threw my magic at the wall, causing a crack to form. The new gap helped melt the ice more.

"I got the feel of fortune. Deal me in," The crack broke into a hole I could fit through.

I looked over at Tumnus as the hole melted into a giant hole by the second, "Tumnus," I said, bending down and hugging him through the bars.

"Go, find Aslan," He said as he broke the hug. I breathed in to say something, "Don't worry about me, you and Him will save us all."

I smiled at him and nodded before escaping through the hole.
