Chappie 6
"Yes James?" She said looking up suddenly as if out of a trance.
"Well, I don't exactly know how to put this but..." he trailed off.
"What is it?"
"This is very hard for me to say. I lied to you."
"About what?" Her face becoming very serious.
"About my life." He said almost too quiet to hear.
"No. James, why?"
"Because I wanted so badly to live here that I didn't want you to turn me down and think I was a freak."
"You didn't have to lie. Well, since we can't change the past, the least you could do is tell me what your real life was like. Ok?"
"Ok I guess. Well my life actually started that way, my mother and brother dying, but my father never ran away. I was the one who ran away, only to be stolen by some lady with a golden monkey daemon."
Lyra's head shot up at this mention of her mother. Her eyes were wide and she breathed in sharply. "And then what happened?" she asked trying to hide her astonishment.
"Well then she took me up north to this strange children's center. There were a lot of kids there. Then they started to leave. I figured that they just went home. Eventually they called me to them and they brought my daemon, Kirstoven, and me to this weird room. They put us in these weird mesh cages, separately, and then we saw the blade. It came to us what they were doing, they were going to cut us apart." He voice got harsh and his hands clenched in and out of fists. He ground his teeth together with every word. "We struggled all we could but the mesh held. Then they let the blade fall. That was the worst moment of my life. I felt as if my very heart was taken from my body and shoved in front of my face, so close and yet so far. They let me go. I searched everywhere for Kirstoven but I couldn't find her. I went back to my house to find that my father had left. I found some old vegetable seeds in the long dead crops. I was just about to leave when a giant bird came to me and left my daemon with me. We were very happy to see each other but it just didn't seem the same. We felt apart. A feeling neither of us had ever experienced. She wouldn't talk to me. Then one day she ran away. I can always feel her close by me but I never see her, as if she is spying on me." He looked around almost expecting to see her sitting next to him. "That's why I didn't want to tell you." He looked up at her.
She was shaking silently, tears running freely down her face. She was rocking back and forth, coming dangerously close to the edge. James gathered her in his arms and muttering soothing words, running his fingers through her hair. He continued to do so until she calmed down a bit. Then he turned her around so they were looking at each other.
"Are you ok now?" he asked.
"Yeah. Thanks."
"No problem." He said a smile.
They had a silent understanding of each other. Lyra turned back around and sat in his arms. They sat together for hours, not saying a word. It took a while but finally James realized that she was fast asleep. Then he did something he never would have dreamed he would do. He leaned over and kissed her. He kissed her right on the lips. He knew that she would never know that he did, but he did it anyway. He came away and muttered gently into her ear, "I love you." And he went back to his thoughts. Lyra struggling against his arms brought him back to reality. He became aware that she was sweaty, again. She was screaming, "Will!" Again he wondered who Will was. He gently shook Lyra.
"Lyra! Lyra wake up!" he said quietly, a little more than a whisper.
"Will!"
He shook a little harder, "Lyra wake up!" he said louder.
"WILL!" She screamed and sat bolt upright, eyes wide.
"Lyra! It's me James! It's only me!"
"Oh. Sorry. I had a bad dream." She said calming down instantly.
"Lyra? Are you gonna tell me who Will is?"
"Oh. Will. Well, he is an old friend, I guess you could say."
"An old friend? Just an old friend am I?" said a new voice. Both kids whirled around to see the speaker. It was Will. Lyra jumped up and hugged him. She was overjoyed to see him. All James could do was sit and watch while this boy that had come out of nowhere hugged and kissed the girl he loved.
"Ehem." James cleared his throat as if to say, 'Hello! I'm still here!'
"Oh. Sorry James! Will, this is James. James, this is Will." She said beaming.
"Hello Will." James said as he held out his hand.
"Hello James, nice to meet you."
"Right back at you."
"I see you've had the pleasure of meeting my girlfriend, Lyra."
"I have." He said through gritted teeth.
"Will, I don't think it's time for that kind of talk."
"What are you talking about Lyra?"
"I need to talk to you alone."
"Ok."
"James. Could you please leave for a minute? I don't mean to be rude or anything but I would like to talk to Will alone for a moment. Thanks" she said with one of her glad-to-be-alive smiles. James climbed down and roamed around the College. Once they were alone Lyra spoke.
"Will, I need to talk to you about our relationship." Lyra spoke slowly. Knowing that those were the very words that Will did not want to hear.
"What about it?"
"I don't think it is going to work."
"What are you saying Lyra?"
"Well. It's really hard for me to say this."
"It's even harder for me to hear it." He said sullenly.
"Well, I think we should go our separate ways. I still love you Will. But it just can't work with us living in two different worlds, when I met James. It got me thinking. I still want you to visit here, but I think we should see other people. I'm sure there is somebody in your world who is perfect for you."
Will didn't say anything.
"Will? Are you ok?"
"Ok! How can you possibly expect me to ok? I love you with all my heart and you go googoo eyes over some scrawny little street boy! I turned down many girls just so that I could still be with you. And you thank me by going after some little homeless kid. No. I will never be ok." He screamed in her face.
"Will, if you had any idea what he has been through you would not be calling him those things. He has suffered because of my stupid mother! His whole family has deserted him! He saved my life! For heaven's sake! He saved my life! Do I have to spell it out? I still love you, Will! It's just not going to work! Get it?" She spat back at him.
"Think of what we've been through together! Doesn't that mean anything to you?"
"Will, I already told you that I still love you! What part of that do you not understand?"
"The part about you going off with some other boy!"
"I already explained that to you!"
"That's not good enough!" he screamed and slapped her across the face. She was sent sprawling. She slid across the roof tiles; she slid a little too far. She went right over the side of the building, plummeting hundreds of feet to the ground.
"WILL! JAMES! HELP ME!" were the last things she said before she hit the ground.
