Aurora Hope, Angel within the Skies

Chapter 1 "Love, Jealousy, and Betrayal"

"Will, please be calm. I really need that." Leah explained. "there has been an accident, Lyra. I can't go on."

"What? What happened to Lyra? Who are you?" Will exclaimed rudely.

"I am Leah, first half sister of Eve, Mother of all and daughter of an angel."

"Leah, have you been watching Lyra?"

"Yes Will, I have. Lyra told me to you."

"What? She has to tell me! We were made for each other!"

"Lyra has a child, a girl. I must leave now, good bye Will."

"Wait Leah, tell Lyra that I love her, not Chelsie. I love Lyra! Please tell her that, Leah!"

"I'll tell her that, Will. My friend Taylor will tell all your messages to me and I'll tell them all to Lyra. Taylor, tell Will what happened to Lyra."

"Yes Leah, my love, I will. Will, we need you to be calm."

"Will, I'm heading towards Lyra, stay close to Taylor and don't you dare kiss Chelsie. Lyra and her baby would die. I must go now, Will."

"Tell Lyra I love her! Tell her I love her to death!"

Leah returned to Lyra's world and began to think about what just happened. Lyra had a baby girl in May. She won't tell me the father but my suspicions tell me that it was either Will or Cody. Please don't let it be Cody from the Kerrington Academy Boarding School The girl, what was its name? Marisa? Did she say it was named for her mother? The little baby girl was named for her vain grandmother. I'll tell her later to name it Aurora. The baby's name should be Aurora Hope Parry that is if Lyra decided to marry Will. The baby's hair was flaming gold like just like her mother's. Just as pretty, a cheek as rosy has the sunset at the Botanic Garden on Midsummer's Day. Eyes as green as the new leaves on each year's roses. Leah knew she needed to ask Lyra about the baby's father. It was a definite must!

"Lyra, wake up, it's Leah."

"Leah? What are you doing here? I need some privacy you know!"

"The atlemonitor gives you the peeping tom act so I get to do some it for payback. Anyway, it's about her father."

"Whose father. Oh, Marisa's father. I told you, I'll tell you when I'm ready."

"First, don't name the baby Marisa. Name the baby Aurora. Her middle name can be hope, I'll tell you about that later. Next, who is Aurora's father?"

"You'd make me kill Mar.Aurora. I can't tell. It would save her life, I think."

"If you don't I won't tell you what Will said and I'll only kill Aurora if it's necessary."

"Ok, what did Will say? Does he still love Chelsie? Well the father is Cody, I think."

"What? Cody? That's terrible! Then I must kill Aurora!"

"I knew you would kill Aurora if the father was Cody. I'm not sure because I love both of them so much. Please don't kill Aurora."

"We'll take a couple of tests and see who the father is or we could ask the atlemonitor but then you don't know how to use it. Or we could just kill Aurora."

"No Leah! You are not going to kill Aurora! I'm not going to let you! What did Will say by the way?"

"Oh he just said that he loved you and he never liked Chelsie."

"Really? Now I can tell you the truth. Will is the father, I swear. But I want it to be Cody so bad because it would be so much better for Aurora."

"Yes! We don't have to kill Aurora now!"

"No it isn't great and all that, Leah! It's going to be terrible! It'll be another version of my mother and father again. If it was Cody, we would be a happy family."

"Lyra, I realized that. Since he broke the knife, I don't think he'd be able to come and visit you and Aurora. But maybe since angels can fly high above, we could try to bring you up."

"Well I suppose. I love Aurora, she's like my morning angel."

"I remember that when I had Madeline. She was perfect but then some angel got her bad."

"Yeah, I'm never ever letting Aurora go bad. I won't allow it!"

"Good, I like that attitude. Get Aurora to Oxford or some good college, get some beauty sleep for her, make her smart, and that'll never let her go bad."

"Don't worry, Leah. I won't! I don't want her to turn out like me or her grandmother. I'm ashamed, and so will Aurora. Aurora never got to meet her father and as her mother, I never went to college, I live in a cave with her, my parents abandoned me, it's terrible! Should I send her to Jordan College? It might be better there, Roger. I miss him."

"He's still in the world of the dead, Lyra."

"Yes, I know. I just miss him. Hey Pan, go check on Aurora."

"Got it, Lyra. Leah, come on and see Aurora, she's a natural beauty."

"If you say so Pantalaimion. I sure bet she's beautiful. I sure bet."

As Leah ventured through Lyra's cave she came upon the most beautiful baby ever. Leah knew she had seen her before but this was the first time Leah saw Aurora. Leah decided she dreamt it, angels could see pictures in their dreams very clearly. Leah decided that she must have dreamt of seeing Aurora. Suddenly Lyra interrupted her thoughts. "Leah, how's Will?"

"He's fine. Will says he loves you to death and he loves you more than anything else in the world. My friend Taylor is with him. Taylor is a good angel, don't worry. Lyra, you know Aurora is not fully human and neither are you and Will. You, Will, Aurora, and some other people are part Saline. You're part Saline because you've been through so many worlds. Aurora got the genes from you. That doesn't do anything to you but if you're really good like Aurora, you can."

"What can Aurora do, Leah? What can she do?"

"Aurora can fly like angels but you can't because you can't read the atlemonitor." "But even if I could, I would have to eat five stars because I got the genes by doing something not like Aurora. Aurora's genes for Saline are like direct because she got them from Will and me."

"You're right. How did you know?"

"I read it in a book from Jordan College."

Leah and Lyra were discussing the effects of Saline and how you could get Saline when an unexpected knock came through in the middle of the night. Lyra went to answer it but saw no one but then a shiny parcel caught her eye. She opened the parcel and saw that it said "I wish to hold you in my arms yet I have to go to my sister, Chloe's house because Chloe is very sick and she needs me. Please understand Lyra and our love shall last forever."
