specific story.
This is my first fan fic, so please r&r!
Chapter 2
Lyra woke up to a bright sun glittering through the leaves. She had slept in the Botanic Garden the previous night. She'd had nowhere else to go. Pantalaimon was in his favorite position around her neck. She gently nudged him awake.
"Come on, Pan, wake up. It's Midsummer's Day," she said, reveling in the fact that she and Will would be together, in a sense, anyways. She knew Pan, as well, was looking forward to being somewhat with Kirjava, too. She went to go get breakfast and clean herself up, although she knew Will could not see her.
The Master of Jordan College paced his study. He was perplexed over the death of Lord Asriel and his, um, sort-of Lady. But he was most worried about their daughter, Lyra Belaqua, or Lyra Silvertongue as she was now referred to. He had heard she was back in this world, and Jordan, but they were rumors. Nothing had been confirmed. He stroked his cat daemon in thought. He would soon know of her whereabouts, though.
Lyra's golden-tawny hair fell about her shoulders as she brushed through it with a "borrowed" brush from Dame Hannah. She had left St. Sophia's. She had stayed long enough to improve her language and steal some alethiometer books but that was all. Rumors circled her disappearance, though she was not well-hidden, nor was she widely known. She had spent her time at noon on the bench in the Botanic Garden; she did not stay long though because while she knew Will was there, it hurt too much to have him there but not really there. She was now preparing to return to Jordan College, and ask the Master to give her sanctuary as he had in the old days.
"Are you sure we should do this, Lyra?" Pan asked.
"We don't have much choice, do we?" she replied, sighing.
"Isn't there any way we could contact Serafina Pekkala?" he said.
"I couldn't know until I can figure out the alethiometer again," she said, her eyes misting over. She missed all of them so much. Will, Kirjava, Mary, Serafina, Iorek, all of them.
"What happened, Pan? How did our lives get so messed up? I wish – " Pan cut her off.
"No, you don't. We both know perfectly well you would rather die than have gone your whole life without meeting Will and everyone else." This was true. Lyra could hardly remember what had happened before the day three years ago when Lyra first hid in a closet in the parlor of Jordan College and saved Lord Asriel's life. For the time being anyways.
"Come on, we have to go if we're to catch the Master before dinner," Lyra said.
She was wearing a pale blue dress and had changed her mind about something. She was determined to get an answer.
The Master looked down at Lyra with disbelieving eyes. She had just told him the story of her last three years, leaving out nothing except the part about her and Will on the hill in the world of the mulefa.
"Master, I need to know – can you help me get to Will?"
A/N: I know, I know, a cliff hanger! Promise not to do it too much. I hope you like it. Reviews are always appreciated. Chapter 3 should be up soon!!!!
