So this is my new story. I've just read the books of 'His Dark Materials' and they were very good, but the end bothered me very much. That's why I write my own one :) I hope you like it, please write a review

I DON'T OWN ANYTHING!

The young boy at the age of sixteen sat on a bench in the park of Oxford. He seemed to be lost in thought and didn't notice, that the cat which had been sitting on the tree above him, came to sit next to him.

After a few moments of silence, the colorful cat looked at him compassionately. "These were the longest three years in our life."

Will Parry nodded slowly and turned his head to look at his beloved Kirjava. "We won't see them again, right?" he asked sadly and some tears left his eyes and rolled down his cheeks.

Kirjava jumped on his lap to comfort him. "I don't know. You can't see what the future will bring you. A few years ago you wouldn't have believed anyone who talked about travelling between the worlds and seeing angels and witches."

Will smiled and shook his head. "No. I would have thought that the person was insane. And that's just normal in a world like this, I think."

His dæmon nodded. "In a few aspects this world is strange. But you can't change where you're born."

Will nodded darkly. "Sadly not. If you could, I would know where I want to be right now."

A sad expression appeared on Kirjava's face and she put on her ears. "I miss Pan." she whispered.

"I know. I miss Lyra, too. So much that it hurts."

And then he began to cry and the dæmon in his arms curled up on his lap and both thought of times which had passed a long time ago.

After some time Will decided that it was time to go home. He stood up and began to walk towards the house in which he lived with his mother and Mary Malone.

His mother had been in the hospital for nearly a year after their return, but now she was healthy again and the hallucinations had stopped. She was happy again and that made Will happy, too. They hadn't told her anything about the events three years ago. They thought that it would just make everything worse and so Elaine Parry didn't know what happened to her husband or how her son lost two fingers.

But she also didn't ask any questions about it. She was completely okay with being in a house with Will and Mary and having a carefree life. Even though Will wasn't there most time. He came home late in the evening and had to go to school very early in the morning. He liked being alone with Kirjava. Then he could think about Lyra without being disturbed. And his dæmon enjoyed the time alone, too, because Will could talk to her without having to hide it.

When Will entered the house, he saw that the bag of his mother wasn't there. So she was at the supermarket and buying food or something like that. Kirjava jumped into his arms and he stroked her bag, lost in thought. They walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table. Then Will noticed, that the food for him was standing on the sideboard. He just wanted to stand up, as he heard footsteps behind him.

When he turned around he saw Mary walking towards him, a troubled expression on her face.

"What happened?" he asked immediately and Kirjava looked around attentively.

"You have a visitor." Mary said and looked around uncomfortably.

"Who?" Will raised his eyebrows. He didn't have any friends. And he never had a visitor before.

"I didn't think that I would have to say that again, but there's an angel waiting for you in the living room."
