Dæmon Trouble

"Inachus! Come on! We're gonna be late!" Lily yelled to her dæmon who was straggling behind.

In this world it's a combination of Lyra's world and our world. It's our world but we have dæmons.

The bell had rung 3 minutes ago. They only had one minute left. Together, girl and dæmon sprinted to room 17, rushing into the room just as the bell rang.

"Thank you for joining us Lily," our evil/odd history teacher Mrs. Solom said.

"You're welcome!" Lily said happily. Her friend that sat next to her, Electra sniggered.

The class began reading pages 233-237 on the Mongol Empire in their history books. Inachus (Natt) and Electra's dæmon, Apollonius (Apollo), took advantage of the time and started play fighting. Oh! Claw to the nose! Apollo bared his sharp ocelot teeth, but Natt just stook out his little pink weasel tongue out t him. With that, the fighting started again.

"Electra, Lily, please separate your dæmons," Mrs. Solom said suddenly. The girls nodded and began tugging at their dæmons.

"Natt! Get off him! You idiotic weasel of a dæmon!" Lily said, tugging Natt's tail.

"Ow!" they said together. "Erg! Lily, don't pull so hard! Don't forget it hurts you too!" Natt said rubbing his tail for effect. Electra and Apollo laughed. They finally got their dæmons back under control after two more minutes. Lily tenderly placed Inachus on her shoulder, lovingly nuzzling his reddish brown furry side. Electra gently put Apollo down on her desk next to her arm and playfully tugged his tail.

"In your backpacks please," Mrs. Solom said.

"Hm? What?" Lily asked looking up from the book.

"Both of you put your dæmons in your backpacks, now," She answered.

"No. I don't want to," Lily said defiantly. Electra didn't want to get in trouble for disobeying the teacher, but she didn't want to put her dear Apollo in her backpack. She picked Apollo up and placed down on top of her backpack.

"Miss Lily Wood, put your dæmon in your backpack and put it outside or else," She threatened. Outside?! Electra thought ugh! Solom in horrible! She motioned franticly to Lily mouthing to her to just do it.

"NO," Lily's voice rose.

"Do it now or I'll do it myself," Mrs. Solom pushed.

"You? You mean your dæmon…" Lily corrected slowly.

"No, I will," Mrs. Solom said menacingly, "With my bare hands,"
