17 years ago:

"How sweet we've got ourselves." Loran whispered running her figures though their newborns hair. "What are we going to name her?" asked Catori. Loran looked up knowing they were going to choose together.

"Lyra is the first," murmured Loran and Catori together. She couldn't help but put a figure between the little hands. "Cha 'risa second name," choose her father, Catori.

"And of course the last name Josephine." Smiling down at their baby in the hospital bed when there came knock to the door. "Yes doctor. We've found the first and middle name for her." "It's not doctor, it Sheriff Carters," sound a deep male voice. "Yes?" confused asked Loran.

"Mr. and Mrs. Josephine please come to court on Tuesday."

"Uh?"

"The baby pleases."

"Wait! My wife and child are innocent. Loran doesn't know! Please don't take the child away."

"What did you do!? Can I please rise Lyra, please!" whined Loran. The Sheriff nodded and took Catori away. Loran clamped her arms gently around Lyra and wept into the baby's blanket.

5 years latter:

"Lyra your mothers gone," spoke Miss. Kit.

"Mommy's gone! Like gone to store or dead?"

"Dead. I'm so sorry."

Chapter 1:

Present day:

"Lyra! I need you to meet these people! To get out of this orphanage!" shouted Mrs. Jenny.

"NO! I rather have my father in jail rise me than new peeps!" cried Lyra. "He's a murder! You could've been one if they hadn't took him away at your birth."

"Ha my mother RISED part of my life and she said he did it to protect us from some 'Gates' man!" screamed Lyra crying. She knew her father did to protect them not to hurt them. "Where is this Lyra Josephine?" asked a sweet female's voice.

"Ma'am she's in the third room to the right," answered Mrs. Jenny. "Thank you." Soon she heard footsteps at her room. "Miss. Josephine?" spoke a deep male voice. Lyra crawled out of her window and locked the door.

"Miss. Josephine I'm going to unlock your door," threatened the man. When they did unlock the door the woman screamed, "Lyra! Where are you?!"

"Oh man 34th time this week! She's a run away," replied Mrs. Jenny. As Lyra ran away from the country orphanage she saw Sue walking down the road. "Lyra, you're running away from the orphanage, AGAIN!"

"Yes, I can't be there for another minute of my life," she exaggerated. "O.K. but I don't like the way your acting," Sue whispered. A picture of Lyra flashed on the news, all cells, internet, and basic everywhere. Sue was in the orphanage once 8 years about, she know the Gates family. Sue knows that Lyra is on their to-kill-list.

So Lyra ran away A LOT! She was adopted her first year there but the home was VERY abusive! Lyra ran into the old forgotten 1300's cottage in the deep woods. As fell in the stolen bed from Harp's beds step up (She didn't steal it her father did) and fell asleep.

Mornings she baths down at the river, hunts, and grabbed berries.
