A/N: Thanks for the reviews!!! I feel so loved.Hmm, I actually got a
threat. Yay! Okay, I'm weird today, drank too much tea, I think. A whole
kettle.I think I'm addicted. People's ideas and opinions are
WONDERFUL.continue them! Interesting thing happened just right now. I was
surfing around the web when I came to this site that had a whole collection
of comics and Spiderman was hilariously sad, but funny, probably due to the
fact that he was kicked in the bum. Okay, you didn't need to know that.
D: Do I, or Do I not own HDM? Answer that yourself, the answer is obvious, in the previous chapters..-_-'
Chapter Four: A Whole New.Species?!?
Kirjava watched with her slightly closed eyes. This new arrival, Sarah, didn't seem like a likely ally. There was something about her. Even her own mother was looking at her from time to time, as if something was about to happen. She yawned, stretching her jaws, and leapt down from the cupboards. Suddenly, her foot slipped and she turned to see Sarah's eyes flash silver. Nimbly, she leapt up and sat down next to Will, watching Sarah warily and suspiciously. However, the blonde girl had started up a conversation with Mrs. Parry. Every once in a while, smiling and nodding her head.
Will automatically reached out a hand a rubbed Kirjava's back. She lightly nipped his hand, forcing him to look down. In her eyes, he saw urgency and understood. Quickly, he excused himself and went into his bedroom, carrying the cat with him.
"What is it, Kirjava?" asked Will anxiously, "You aren't hurt or anything, are you?"
"No, it's not that. That girl, Sarah, watch out for her. Look into her eyes whenever and accident happens. I think she may be something."
Will nodded, agreeing. He let out a breath of relief that he wasn't the only one to notice the unusual aura around the girl.
Suddenly, a knock sounded and both of them jumped.
"Hello, are you all right, Will? Did the cat hurt you?"
Kirjava and Will glanced at each other, shoulders tense.
"Nothing's the matter," replied Will cautiously.
"Can I come in?"
A pause.
"Sure."
Will opened the door and watched as Sarah stepped in and sat on his bed.
"Do you always stay here?"
Will blinked, did something just happen or was his eyes going weird? Sarah seemed hazy at the moment, then all of a sudden, his vision cleared and he looked down to see Kirjava rubbing again Sarah's leg. The girl's leg jerked, hitting the cat in the stomach and flying into the desk. Will felt Kirjava's pain and doubled over, gasping slightly. The cat automatically curled up in defense.
"I knew you were one of them! Those, those.why did you go over? To the other world? We could've been together!"
"What?"
He looked up to see Sarah disappear, like dust. A few seconds, he heard his mother scream.
Lyra ~
"Who's Will?" asked James.
"A boy, the same age as us. It's kind of hard to explain. A long story, I assure you."
"You loved him, didn't you."
"Yes."
"He left you?"
"No, you see, he belonged to another world. Much, much different from ours. The problem was because we couldn't stay in each other's world for long. We would sicken and die."
James sat silently, understanding the whole problem. A sudden pain filled Lyra's head and she yelped. John Faa and James looked at her curiously. Quickly, the boy shook her shoulders. Lyra was unconscious.
In Lyra's Head ~
Slowly, an image of a confused Will appeared from the void of blackness.
"Lyra? Are you there?"
Will? It's you!
"I need help. Please come soon. My mother's been kidnapped. I don't know these people, I don't think they're human. Like a different species."
We'll be there.
"We?" (Will's face took on a slight expression of jealously)
I'll explain when we meet, Will. Just wait, we still have to pass through the underworld, remember?
"Please be careful, I need you."
There's something else, Will. I've got an alethiometer again.
"I have something to say too. There's a girl named."
Will? Are you still there?
End of transition ~
James held back the bottle of awakening mixture (that John had given him) as Lyra sat up and sputtered.
"Are you all right?"
"Yes. John, we have to go to the Underworld."
A/n: There! We're almost to the part where Lyra and Will meet! Squee!
