Marisa couldn't go back to sleep after that nightmare. After a few hours off tossing in bed Marisa finally got up and decided to go to the kitchen to make herself some chamomile tea. Sitting alone in the kitchen felt peaceful.

On her way back to her room, Marisa could hear Lyra. Thinking she was awake Marisa headed towards her daughters room to find out she was asleep and possibly having a nightmare too.

"Shhh, darling it's ok mama is here"

That didn't settle Lyra, it made it worse.

"No please don't take me away, I'll be good" Lyra yelled out in her sleep

"Mama, please I promise, I didn't mean to upset you"

"YOU PROMISED"

Poor Lyra, it broke Marisa's heart as she wish she knew what the nightmare was about so she could help her poor daughter. In the end Marisa had to roughly shake Lyra awake.

"W...what, what happened. Why are you in my room?"

"I was in the kitchen drinking tea and I heard you talking. When I checked on you, it looked like you were having a nightmare"

"Oh"

"I'll get you some chamomile tea, that will make you feel better"

Marisa got Lyra some tea and sat in her room till she finished it.

"Do you feel better now?"

Lyra nods

"See I told you it would help"

Marisa walks towards Lyra to take her cup back to the kitchen. As soon as Marisa was about to head out the door, Lyra grabs her hand.

"Can you stay with me...please?"

Marisa looks at her daughters sad face and smiles

"Let me put this in the kitchen and I'll come back"

Lyra's face lit up. She sat up in bed and waited for her mother to return. Once Marisa returned she walked to the other side of Lyra's bed and pull the covers up and hoped into bed. Lyra waited for her mother to get comfy and crawled straight to her mothers arms and instantly fell asleep.

Morning came and Lyra was still in the same spot she fell asleep in. Pan wakes up and starts jumping on his human and making his ermine squeak sound. Marisa opens one eye and looks at Pan who stops and runs under the covers. She let out a small giggle and looked down to her daughter who was still happily asleep in her arms.

"Lyra...darling it's time to get up"

Lyra groans in her sleep and rolls over out of her mothers arms.

"Five more minutes please mum"

Marisa smirked and grabbed Lyra and pulled her back into her side.

"Fine five more minutes but then we have to get up as I have so much planned for us today"

"I don't care, I just want to stay in bed" Lyra spoke in a sleepy angry voice.

Marisa looks down at her child and grins

"We are going to lunch at the Royal Arctic Institute today, but I'f you don't don't get up we won't go"

Waiting for her daughters reaction, Lyra suddenly rips the blankets off and gets up and runs to the other side of the bed and grabs her mothers arm and starts shaking it.

"Are we truly going there? I've been dying to go there"

Marisa giggles

"I knew that would get you out of bed. We have breakfast first, then you do some school work and then we'll go"

The grin from Lyra's face disappears and she heads back to bed. Marisa gives Lyra a look and instead she heads out towards the kitchen to get her breakfast.

It was coming to ten o'clock and Lyra's tutor is meant to be arriving. Ten-thirty rolls around still no tutor. When it hits eleven o'clock Marisa gets fed up and grabs Lyra's school books and sits down.

"Why hire good help if they never turn up" Marisa muttered under her breath.

"Isn't my tutor meant to be helping me with my work? I know you usually work when I do school" Lyra said looking up to her mother as Marisa slams the books onto the table.

Marisa glares at her daughter. Marisa opens one of Lyra's books and points to certain things.

"Just do these five and we will go. I don't have time for this"

Lyra grabs her pencil and book and wrote down the answers to the questions she was told to do.

Behind schedule which Marisa didn't like, Lyra put her good clothes on and greets her mother who it waiting by the elevator door. Lyra chose her favourite purple dress and black shoes and Marisa worse a simple blouse, a pencil skirt and black heels. Walking a fast pace, both Marisa and Lyra finally make it to the Royal Arctic Institute.

Walking into the dining area, a young woman approached Marisa.

"I wouldn't be here if I were you Mrs. Coulter, he's here and he's really mad"

"Where is he?"

The young woman looks over her shoulder and points towards the big group of men standing in a circle. What shocked Marisa the most was Lyra was in ear shot of these men.

Marisa rushes to Lyra.

"On second thought, maybe we should have lunch else where darling. It's too crowded here today for my liking.

Lyra screwed up her face and made a sad face at her mother.

"We only just got here mum, I'm sure we can find a quiet place to sit. We only just got here"

Before Marisa could do anything a man starts walking towards them.

"Hello Marisa"
