Rain trickled down from the dark dense clouds. It had been raining for about three days and was a depressing time. Will sat with his dæmon, Kirjava, staring into space. This was the third year that Will had come to this Garden and sat at this pacific bench. It was their bench, they had promised to meet there every Midsummer's Day. He had kept his promise.
"What are you staring at?" Kirjava said while grooming herself.
Will continued to look ahead. "That's the spot I last saw her."
"Yes, I believe so."
"What do you think she's doing now?"
"Sitting here thinking of you. Just as you think of her."
"Do you miss Pantaliamon?"
"I miss him as much as you miss your dear Lyra."
"I thought so." He said stroking her golden fur. Suddenly she became on edge.
"Did you hear that?"
"Hear what?" Kirjava jumped off of Wills lap and walked around like she was stalking a mouse. "What is it?"
"Shh.Don't talk." She disappeared into the bushes. Now Will was aware of his surroundings. He learned to keep his guard up in times of peril after his journey through the worlds with Lyra. Lyra, his heart ached thinking her name. He didn't fret long on it though because someone crept up on him and pushed him over the bench. Will lay on his face in the wet grass. He propped himself up and spit grass out of his mouth. Standing up, he looked at the person who pushed him down with fist at his side.
It was a local boy one from his school that always mocked Wills behavior. During Physical Education the boy would snicker at Will because he could not participate in some activates due to his missing fingers. Will was prohibited from climbing the rope because the teachers feared he would not be able to grip the rope. The boys name was Basil. There were two of Basil's fellow gang members standing obediently behind him. All Will knew about these boys was they listened to everything Basil told them to. They were stupid and huge.
"What do you want?" Will said through gritted teeth.
"We just happened to be strolling by." Basil started.
"Um.Jeremy. Ain't we been following him since the movie theater?"
"Ah, yeah! That's right Basil."
Basil looked frustrated. Phil and Paul could make anyone feel stupid. About two years ago they made a teacher, Mr. Bentavania go insane with all of their stupidity. That was the Mr. Bentavania's last year teaching even though he was 39.
"You were not supposed to tell him that!"
"I'm confused."
"Me two."
"Just shut up!" Basil hollered at the two goons.
"Sorry."
"Same here."
"Shush!" Basil straightened himself out as Will picked the grass from his teeth. "We were passing by, when I spotted you sitting on this bench. I decided it was a good idea to push you because you failed to let me cheat off of you on our last test. Tut, tut. Maybe next time you'll let me. Phil, Paul, take care of him." He said crossing his arms.
Will has physically become stronger but he couldn't handle both thugs. One of the boys held back Will's harms Will tried to get out of his clutches. Before Paul's grip was tight enough Will slipped down making Phil punch Paul in the stomach.
"Hey what was that for?"
"Sorry."
Looking back, Will started running. Before he turned around Basil put his foot out in front of Will making him trip. 'Where is Kirjava?' thought Will. Her assistance would be appreciated now. This time Phil got a hold of Will, making his arm feel like they were about to fall off. Paul ran over still puzzled by how Will got away before.
"Just punch him!" Basil yelled. The rain was coming down harder now.
"Sure boss." The way Paul cracked his knuckles when Basil said that was not reassuring. Will struggled to get out of the clutches of Phil but the teenager was like a rock. He did not budge. Phil brought his fist back, and then launched it at Will's stomach. Immediately Will felt the pain almost splitting him in half. The rain poured down and drenched all of the teenage boys. Will started to curl over but not before being pulled in the arms again. In the bushes Will saw a hint of golden fur and prayed it was Kirjava. Phil propelled another punch, but this one towards his face. It hit, hard, and Will heard a crack from around the center of his face.
Phil let go of Will and he dropped to the floor clutching his stomach. Basil came and bent over to talk to Will.
"How are you doing?" All Will did was moan. His nose was bleeding and he was gasping for oxygen. "You answer me when I talk to you." Will still said nothing. Where was Kirjava? "You want to be that way? Okay." Basil lifted his foot above Will's head. "Are you going to say anything?"
Will concocted the only word that was on his mind, "Bastard."
Basil snorted. His foot started plummeting to Will's face. Would his mother have to go to the hospital to identify his body while he lay in a bed unconscious? The answer came after someone punched Basil making his foot stop inches from Will's face. Will rolled over and looked up but the image was blurred. Out of the corner of his left eye he saw a flicker of gold then a whisper.
"I got some help," Kirjava said gasping for air. She was feeling the same pain as Will.
"It took you long enough." He struggled to say. "Who is it?"
"Garin." She muttered. "He was walking with his Ava."
Garin lived in a flat near Mary and Ava was his younger sister. Garin was only nineteen and Ava was only six. Mary said they had moved to the apartment a couple of weeks before she met Lyra and Will. After their parents died in Germany a friend let them live in the vacant apartment. Garin attended College now and Ava went to elementary school.
Will heard Basil, Phil and Paul start running away in fear. Ava came and bent down next to Will.
"Do you need a tissue?" She said in her cute German accent. She pulled a handkerchief out of her skirt and tried whipping away the blood but withdrew when Will started screaming.
"Ava, Halt." Garin said. He put Will's arm around his shoulder holding him up. "Ava, get the bench."
"Ja." She ran over to the bench and lifted it up with much effort. Garin placed Will on the settee. "I go get someone!" Ava said running out of the gardens.
"Will, we will get you help right away."
"Okay." Will felt dizzy and his vision was blurry.
"Keep talking to me Will."
"Wha.What?"
"Will, Will." The voice kept going but Will could not hear any thing. His vision blacked out and he heard nothing. He felt like he was in an abyss.
