The Silver Spoon
Chappie 5
"No, no! This can't be happening! Lyra!" he screamed while slapping her cheeks desperately trying to wake her from this deathly trance.
He did CPR, slapped her cheeks, dumped water on her but nothing was working. "Help! Please! Somebody help!" he yelled sprinting through the hallways. People came running out of their rooms in their nightclothes. They ran after him, not sure what else to do.
"James!" The master of Jordan screamed as he came out of his room and blocked the young boy's path.
James burst into a series of gibberish screams.
"I didn't mean to...she was asleep...she was so sweaty...and Will...who is Will...she poked me ...then she feel asleep...It's not my fault! I didn-"He was stopped by a hand on his mouth. He looked up through tearstained eyes and saw the Master of Jordan College.
"Calm down boy. Get yourself together. What is the matter?"
"It's Lyra!"
"What? What's the matter with Lyra?"
"She's....she's....she's dead, sir."
"Oh my gosh! Bring us to her! NOW!"
They all ran up to Lyra's room. They barged in through the open door. The master and James ran up to the bed. They all found out for themselves that she had, in fact, stopped breathing. But they just had to believe that there was a glimmer of life left in her. This was Lyra Silvertongue, a legend among many worlds. She couldn't possibly be dead, not now.
James thought of any possible way to tell if she was still alive. Breathing, no. Heart, no. Daemon, bingo. Her daemon would still be around somewhere if she were still alive. He thought, what was her daemon's name? What did he look like? Then it occurred to him that he had never even caught the slightest glance of her daemon. Was she like him? Was she a severed child, too? Had she too been a victim of Bolvangar? If only he had not lied about his life! He quickly asked, "Did Lyra have anything to do with Bolvangar?"
"I do believe she did." Answered a voice from the back. Everyone parted to let the speaker forward. It was Serafina Pekkela. She stepped up to the bed and looked at Lyra's cold, blue face. She closed her eyes, put her hand on Lyra's forehead, and started to mutter something in an unknown language. When she took her hand away she snapped her fingers and Lyra sat bolt upright and took in a huge breath.
Everyone burst into action. There was a great lunch as everyone tried to get to Lyra to give her a hug or a pat on the back. But the witch queen held them back. There was a large amount of chattering.
"Lyra! You're ok!"
"Thank goodness you're alive!"
"We were so worried about you!"
All the while people, one at a time, would go up and say something to Lyra or give her a hug. James stood in the corner.
He was looking shyly down at his feet when he became aware of someone in front of him. He looked up with red-rimmed eyes. It was Lyra.
"Thanks."
"Welcome."
"About what happened during the night..."
"Never happened." He said with a slight grin on his face.
"Thanks." She returned his smile.
She leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. She came away and looked down at her feet. She turned a fierce red and she had a huge smile on her face. James scratched the back of his neck and smiled from ear to ear. He seemed to be deep in thought. He suddenly looked up, as if deciding on something. He stepped forward and took up Lyra's hand. They looked at each other and knew they were thinking the same thing. They held hands and walked out the door together, much to the amazement of everyone in the room.
They climbed up the roof and sat on the very top for hours in the same comfortable silence they always held. A couple times they would take a deep breath as if to say something, only to shake their head and return to silence. Finally James broke the silence.
"Lyra, there is something I need to tell you."
