Disclaimer: How over the moon could I possibly own His Dark Materials? Easy. I don't.
I had been so happy that morning... Like my life was a dream come true.
This isn't possible...
After years of training, I finally figured out how to pass between worlds, projecting my mind but not my body, just as Will's father had done so long ago.
It isn't happening...
My smile glowed so brightly that it hurt to see my reflection. I felt as though I was floating away in bliss, ecstasy...
This isn't real...
I focused on my target, Will's world. I was trembling with excitement over seeing him again at last. I could hardly wait.
It just... It can't be...
I was there at last! Will was just around that corner! I willed myself towards him.
It isn't right...
"Will!" I cried, beaming at him and waving wildly at his form, so very close to me, just across the street...
Is this reality? Or the nightmare it seems to be?
My scream echoed in the darkness of both worlds, bringing me back to my own.
How could this have happened?
Will never saw the car coming.
Well? How was it? I'd appreciate constructive criticism... Oh, and I know it was short, it was intended to be short.
Have a nice day!
