Disclaimer: Sorry, I forgot to add this in the last chapter! I do not own
Lyra and Will, and I am not making any profit out of this story. I am just
doing this for the hell of it, and I am not a ghost writer, the plot is
entirely my own, and I only own Eve and Faernell, and also Nekaros. Oh
yeah, I also own Vlamontemi..that idiot..~maybe I can kill her off
soon..hm...~
Nekaros
Chapter Two:
Lyra ran blindly down the passageway, her daemon Pantalaimon scurrying before her. Shouts and screams echoed down the corridor, girls' voices mingled with the teachers' voices. She could hear herself panting, and her chest felt tight. She got to the back door she was aiming for, heaved it open, the bolts screaming with rust, and then-she was out in the back street, the cool wind blowing on her face. But nothing was tranquil and peaceful. Soldiers cloaked in black and armed with bayonets and rifles were attacking the building. The soldiers, Lyra quickly realized, were some more of the dreaded attack troops of the new Pope's, that were nicknamed by Oxford people Mind-Benders. They had absolute control over the whole of Catholic countries, and the Kings and Queens were powerless against them. They had sprang into power six months ago, destroying completely buildings where 'heretics' were. A few hours ago the pupils and teachers of Saint Sophia had found out that they were among those people. At that moment, Lyra heard a voice shouting at her.
"Oy! You girl! Come back here!"
~*~
"Phew!" said the girl to her daemon. " that was a close one, wasn't it?!"
"You shouldn't have done that." nagged her daemon. "You weren't hungry, so why steal some chocolatl?"
"Because it was fun!' she whispered back. "And because it was something to do.I'm just so bored stuck here! We've got no more chance of finding this Will Parry then flying in a Zeppelin next Saturday!"
A few meters away, Will let out a very audible gasp. Instantly the girl sprang round, and her bat-daemon took the form of a wolf. For a moment they just stared at each other, then the girl asked, bristling: "Why were you spying on us?"
"I didn't mean- I-well, it was an accident.." He said, his mind still reeling from what he had overheard.
"What do you mean 'an accident'?" she asked, her eyes narrowed.
'Feint..' Thought Kirjava to him. 'Throw her off until we can find out where she's come from and why she's looking for us.'
Silently, he agreed with her. Then, out loud he said, making his voice tremble in fear, "Why-what is that thing? A wolf?"
She glared at him. "My daemon. You won't know what they are. You en't got one, but we have. No-one has here. You know if you were in my Oxford or my Winchester-if there is one- then you'd be treated like a Vampyr, or worse!" it was said scornfully, and prideful. Will, however, felt his heart leap. That girl had the same accent as Lyra! A real, Oxford accent!
"What do you mean, your Oxford?" he asked, keeping a tremor of excitement out of his voice.
The girl opened her mouth to speak, but then her wolf-daemon caught sight of Kirjava. The girl froze. Then, as though hardly daring to believe it, she said, her mouth open: "You're Will Parry, en't you?"
AN: Ooops..I ment to do a long chapter, but I ended up doing a short one! Oh well! Thankyou to the only person who reviewed, Tigeress247
