An Unexpected Return (Edmund x Female Reader)

Chapter 11: Unwanted connections

--Edmund's room--

*Knock knock*

"Edmund? May i come in?" Caspian's voice says from outside his door.

"Yes."

Caspian grabs the door handle and opens the door, seeing Edmund sat on the edge of his bed, his face showing an abundance of thoughts that were weighing him down as he looked out of the window.

Caspian gives him a smile and pushes the door a little as he walks in, the door now only left ajar.

He leans the scabbard against the wall and sits next to him on the bed, the both of them sitting there in silence for a moment.

"Y/N got rather worried when you walked off. As did i." Caspian says, breaking the silence that had filled the room moments before.

"Sorry." Edmund says quietly.

"It's alright. Though, why did you walk away like that? Was her disarming you too much of a shock?" He says in a way that he was trying to brighten the mood.

Though unfortunately this time, Edmund wasn't too much in the mood to participate.

"No, it wasn't that at all."

He then pauses, thinking over how to explain it to Caspian.

"I. I think something happened to her, I'm not sure what but, something wasn't right." Edmund explains, making Caspian wonder.

"What wasn't right?" He asks.

"Well. When we were fighting i- her eyes. They flashed a bright green for a brief moment. That's when her attacks became, more aggressive and faster, almost as if someone was telling her to. I couldn't keep up. I certainly didn't teach her that."

Caspian listens to Edmund explain, now he himself getting a little concerned.

"That definitely sounds strange. Could it be magic perhaps?" Caspian suggests.

Edmund's eyes wonder left to right staring at the wooden floor below.

"I don't know...i suppose magic is the most likely reason but, why would something like that happen to her?" Edmund says, Caspian now looking at the window, the clouds slowly moving as the day slowly passes over...

"Edmund? Caspian?"

They both turn around, seeing Y/N pushing the door open a little more as she steps inside.

"Y/N, is...everything alright?" Edmund asks, watching as her gaze is aimed at the floor.

She nods and walks over to a chair that sat against the window, facing Caspian and Edmund.
She sits down and says "i. I wanted to talk to you both about something."

"Is it, about what happened with the duel?" Edmund says.

She nods, only patches of what happened in her brain still.

"How. How did i disarm you?" She asks, making both Edmund and Caspian terribly confused and slightly concerned.

"You...you don't remember?" Edmund says, looking into her eyes.

Y/N looks at the both of them and says "Not really. I remember you saying 'go' and i remember the first few moments when we were going back and forth but...but then the only thing i remember after that is you on the grass with your sword lying next to you."

Edmund and Caspian glance at eachother, slight worry on their faces as they look back at her.

"Is this perhaps in relation to what you told me Edmund?" Caspian suggests.
