Can't Take It In (Edmund Pevensie fanfic) *ON HOLD*

Chapter 2

   Next day. All over again. Same thing of always.

   I woke up earlier than the normal that morning. I used to wake up at 7 am, but I had woken up one hour before. I had a terrible night. I couldn't sleep in any way. Just some naps. Motive: the curly hair girl, of bright eyes and an enchant smile of the day before. My mind was trying to figure out the mystery that I had found on her eyes, or in who she showed to be. There was something there. And I had the sensation that it was related to something that I already knew.

 - What a silliness, Edmund! You don't even know her. - I said to myself.

   I got up from bed and went to have breakfast reading a book. After, I get changed. No hurry, because was early.

   And I went to college.

-------------------------------------------------

 - Good morning! - Said the professor, entering class. - Today we will deepen the subject of yesterday and ...

   "Here we go again !!", I thought. I did a scribble on any paper, until I began to draw a Lamppost. I had not paid attention in that class a minute.

    I looked out the window and saw the day getting sunnier gradually. Finally the weather had changed a bit!

    The trees swayed a little out there with the wind. Leaves and flower petals come loose and floated through the air. My mind began to wander away ...

  - Edmund Pevensie, can you answer this question? - He asked Professor Andrews suddenly.

    "What question?" I thought.

  - Um... I do not ... I ...

  - Forget about it! - He said, with a look of reproach. - Well, does anyone know?

  - Focus, Edmundo. Focus! - I whispered to myself.

    The rest of the morning went like this: Me, trying to concentrate, but with my mind elsewhere.

    When leaving the afternoon, after lunch, I took the subway to go to work. I sat at the bottom, which had no one else. I took a stock book and started reading.

    Not long after, I started to fall asleep.

-----------------------------------------------

"Caspian! Talk to me! Caspian! - I screamed.

  I dragged Caspian the floor as he looked unconscious. There was a cut on his belly and an arrow stuck in his left shoulder. I took him up under a tree.

  - Caspian, wake up! Talk to me! - I screamed, pounding on his face.

  He seemed to come to his senses.

  - You should not be here. T-They need you there. - He said, holding my arm, lying on the floor.

  - I can not leave you like this.

  - Yes you can. Now go. Do not worry about me.

  - No!

  - It's an order. Go! Now! - He said, spitting blood.

  I could not avoid: a tear ran down my face. I left him. And I went ahead without looking back. Meanwhile, something whispered in my ear, "I'll take care of him. He'll be fine. Just Believe!"

  I woke up suddenly, at the right time to get outta the subway.

--------------------------------------------------

    I entered the library. Mr. Thomas was waiting for me. With hands on hips and a funny smile on his face, he said:

  - Very good! Today arrived at the right time. - And he withdrew.

    I laughed.

    I left my bag on the counter and went looking for a book in the library fund in one of the shelves. When I returned, I found a familiar face. It was Sophia.

  - Hello! - She said, smiling.

 - Hello! Um ... Everything's okay?

 - Yes, thank you. I came to return the book.

 - What? But already? Have you already read it? - I asked surprised.

 - Yes. It's a thin book and all that I know to do in this life is to read so I read a book per day, when possible. - she said, laughing.

- That's great! - I said.

- I'm leaving, Edmund. - Mr. Thomas said, addressing the door. - I need to buy some medicine, but I'll be right back. Do not go anywhere even for a second, okay. I need you to take care of the place.

 - Yes sir. - I said.

 - Great. - He withdrew.

 - Would you like to read another? - I asked to Sophia.

 - For sure! - she smiled.

    Every word she said came with an angelic smile together, which pulled a silly smile of mine.

 - Come with me.

    We went to a bookshelf which was in the bookstore funds. I took a ladder and climbed it.

 - What are you doing? Looking for something specific? - She said.

 - Actually, I do not know what I'm looking for, but I hope to find something better than the book you just read. I do not know all the books here, unfortunately. So maybe it will take a little to ...

   As I spoke, I found among so many books (dusty, by the way), one white cover book that had no name. I picked it up and down the stairs.

 - What book is that?

  - I do not know. It has no name. - I said, puzzled.

  - Weird.

   I opened the book, which also was all white inside. But on the first page only had one line with a few words.

 - What is written? - Sophia said.

   She got closer to my side and held the book with me. Without realizing it, we read it together.

"Let the adventure begin!"

   Suddenly, a blinding light came out of the middle of the book direct to our face. Since then, I did not see anything. I heard no more. In fact, I blacked out.
