Chapter 4: Abduction
Lyra woke up 2 days later with her and Will's arms around the others neck.
She looked at his dark blue eyes. Then she realized he was awake, but she didn't say
or do anything, she still just looked at his eyes. It had been a year since she had done
that, Oh how she loved to do that. "I love you." She whispered. "I love you to.
" He whispered back. Then they kissed and got up. They each went down to the river
individually and bathed. When they were done getting ready they set off to find the gyptians.
After an hour's walk they decided to take a break. They took out some of the
biscuit the master of Jordan had given them and they ate breakfast. Will looked up and
saw what he thought was a cloud falling towards them. "Lyra, look at that." Will said
pointing up. Then he realized that it wasn't a cloud, it was a hundred or so angels headed
towards them. "Perhaps Xaphania and her troupes are coming." Lyra said doubtfully. "No,
there would be more, and besides, they're looking for the witches."
Xaphania and the few remaining troupes of hers kept searching for any witch, to
ask where Seriffina Pecelas, or Ruta Skadi's clans would be. They had passed by a few,
most had no idea where but one said to go south so that's where they went. As they flew
they where passed by about a hundred or so angels headed back where they had came
from. The first thing that came into her mind was Lyra and Will. "Angels, they go in search
of the children. We must get king Iorek Byrnison to hold them of." Xaphania said importantly.
With that, they set of at full speed to the north.
"We better hide!" Will said
"They already know we're here!"
"Well maybe some help will come in time if we stall them for a minute or so!"
"Ok, I guess it's worth a try. I just have to say this once more. It may be the last, I love you."
"I love you to now lets go!" Will yelled.
But it was to late. The first angels were already no more than five feet away. Then there
was a flash of silver and white. The armored bears had come and held back the first few
but it was to little to late. Lyra and Will where already being carried away. "Iorek! Help!
" Lyra yelled but that didn't change the fact that bears couldn't fly. "Oh Will, What will
happen to us now?"
"I don't know. Let's not let them take us apart and let's resist against everything."
"Ya, Oh what if the Oblation board is starting up again and they're taking us there?!"
"All we can do is hope not." They landed on a ship with millions upon millions of angels
standing in rows. The one who had carried Lyra told them to follow him. They did as they
where told and after a short walk, they appeared in a room with just one highly dressed
radiant angel sitting in an oak chair. "That must be Majuka." Lyra and Will both heard
their daemons whisper in their ear.
