*~Lyra~*

Being in Will's arms, Oh it's the greatest feeling ever. There en't anything more joyous for me. And even after all this time...I know he still cares. I know he still loves me. And I, of course, still love him, my darling Will. I close my eyes and I hear him whispering softly in my ear.
"Lyra," he starts gently and nuzzles my neck. "I want you to know you that I am so proud of you. You've been so strong through all of this and I love you so much." Aww..En't that sweet??? I feel like my heart has just sprouted wings and fluttered away. I smile and tell him I love him too. We just sit on the bench,
taking in everything. It's so beautiful, especially because the one person I love is sitting right next to me, holding me close. Yes...it's beautiful. I look at Pantalaimon who's cuddeled against Kirjava and I see the look of guilt on his face. How could we even think of killing ourselves? And what would happen if this didn't last?
Oh..but this is here and now and I won't worry about what is to come because I want to savor this moment forever. I will remember this forever. I can't forget the electrical feelings shooting in my body and the shivers he sends up my spine. I kiss him and he smiles and hugs me tighter. Oh..When I die, I want to die in those strong arms. I want to die in Will's arms. It's late now, and I hear the clock striking 11 o'clock. I shiver a little,
for it's grown a bit cold. He sees this and takes off his jacket, putting it around me. I smile and feel like crying. I've missed him so much. We don't have to speak any words to know what's going on. I look down and Pan, and he's curled up with Kirjava, breathing lightly. Asleep. Together. I look at Will and for a moment, I'm lost in those vivent green eyes. Like a forest you might get lost in, and you en't never would find your way out of. But I don't think I'd mind getting lost in that forest..

~*Will*~
She's beautiful. Her eyes are shining so brightly and I can see there's a saddness and a longing in them, for what, I'm not sure. I hold her closer and yawn. This is how I wish to be forever. Right like this. Lyra in my arms, and I protecting her from the dangers of the world. "Lyra.." I say and I pull her down on bench, so we're both laying. I'm so tired, too tired to get up. So is she, I can tell. She smiles and lays her head on my chest. In a few minutes she's asleep. I twirl her hair around and silently thank Xaphania.
I don't think Lyra will kill herself..I certainly hope not. Even after I'm gone. I hope she'll stick it out. I don't know what tasks she has left, but they seem important. Besides, if she were to kill herself, I'd have to take my life also. Because it would be like apart of me died. Lyra is and always will be part of me. I can't deny it and I won't ever try. But I'm feeling my eyelids getting heavy and there's nothing more to do or say. This is how it should be.
