Chapter 1: Lyra
Lyra has been in her world of daemons for ten years. She came back expecting her mother and father waiting with open arms. Instead she found herself a home, in a girls' school. The school is teaching her aliothometer skills, how she lost her skills...no one knows.
"Lyra, Lyra! Guess what?" a girl ran over to Lyra her black, sleek hair flowing behind her with the breeze.
"What is it Tee?" Lyra asked brushing her hair out of her eyes. Tee shoved a letter into Lyra's hands and said, "Read it!"
Dear Lyra,
I am proud to announce that you have a job offering with the Church. They would like you to be their Aliothiometer Reader. Please respond as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
The Master of Jordan College
"See? You are going to get a job! Yay! I am so happy for you!" exclaimed Tee. Lyra glanced at Tee with a darkened expression. "What?"
"Remember about that boy I told you about, Will," Lyra began, "Well, the Church wanted to kill us. They want me to forgive them." She threw the letter away and went back to her dorm. Tee was close at her heels. Lyra burst into her room and started crying.
"Oh Lyra, I know you loved Will, but you need to move on. Find a nice boy at the Winter Festival and start a family," Tee said rocking Lyra into her arms."What if he finds out?" Lyra said between sobs. Tee didn't answer. She knew he wouldn't come and find out. It was impossible. Everyone believed that she was making him up, but there was something about the way she cried that made it seem so real. Tee pushed these thoughts to the side and decided that she would talk to her mother. 'Mom would know what to do,' she thought.
Okay, so here's the deal. I have no clue how the stuff below this got here, but I can't delete it. Just ignore it if it happens in the future. Please give me a review, cunstructive critism is welcome!
Snapple!
