I can save you

•••••••••

"I can help you Edmund, I can save you... You're lost, anyone can see that. You don't fit in, you don't belong, nobody wants you, nobody loves you. So why stay here? Why stay when you're unwanted, when nobody needs you, when they'd be better off without you. You are nothing to them Edmund, so come with me, come with me, come, come..."

Edmunds eyes snapped open, a gasp escaping his lips before he could stop it.

He lay there, eyes wide for a while, trying to force himself back to reality and away from the nightmare.

It took a while, but he eventually relaxed, relaxed into someone's arms that is.

He glanced to his left in the dark, just about making out Peter curled around him in what could only be described as a very protective manner.

Edmund couldn't help but smile weakly at this, glad he hadn't woken his older brother as he seemed to be sleeping so peacefully.

He turned his gaze back to the ceiling after a while, taking a quiet, deep breath.

It had only been a dream.

The witch had been killed a week ago, she had no hold over him anymore.

Despite the fact that he did believe that it had only been a dream, he couldn't bring himself to even try and go back to sleep.

So he just lay there, wide awake, waiting for his older brother to wake up, after all, he felt safe knowing that he was there, and he always would.
