"Lyra! Hand me the ore!" Felix shouted.

Lyra threw the ore at him, he gave her a toothy grin and guided Lyra as she got into the boat.

"You know Ly, you're kinda beautiful." He bluntly said and gave her another smile. Lyra turned crimson, trying to hide her face.

"Thank you Fe-"

"Wait! I haven't finish." He interrupted. "Your kinda beautiful "If", you weren't so thin and was wearing any braces."

Felix adoringly laughed and shook his head in amusement. Lyra pursed her lips sending Felix death daggers.

"Felix! You're such a jackass!" She yelled. He continued to laugh, tearing up. "It's not that funny."

She looked down her hands and started to sob. She hated herself for being weak, she wanted to be strong like her father Ned. Felix's eyes widened as he saw Lyra weeping. He scooted over to Lyra, making the boat wobble.

"Jeez Ly, I was just joking." He cooed. Felix started to sweat as Lyra continued to sob. "Ok! Tell you what? I'ma going to do what Luna Sharmaine does every time I have a booboo." Felix leaned in and gave Lyra a peck on the forehead. "You'll be safe here."

Lyra shot up from her bed, sweat covered her face as she breathed heavily. Se wiped the sweat off of her face and swallowed her own saliva. The childhood memory that replayed on her mind was forgotten long ago, but she wondered how she suddenly remembered it. Her eyes moved around her room, again, she wondered how she got there.

She removed the duvet that was covering her body and stood up. She took nimble steps as she grabbed the doorknob, twisting it. The door did not open. Lyra was frantically banging on the door.

"Let me out!" She yelled.

A memory of a dream flashed through her. Her older brother Lex had return. She remembered the lake and the kiss on her forehead. What she could clearly remember was Ignacios marking Lois, and her trying to kill herself. Whoever her rescuer was she would pay her a piece of her mind.

Lyra slumped back to her bed curling into a ball of misery, the room fell silent only her breating could be heard. A few more moments of silence passed when the mahogany door slammed open revealing Lois.

"Wake up she whore!" Lois neared her and kicked her on the head. She shuddered in pain. "Oh did that hurt? Stop acting like you're the fucking victim here! You're ruining everything!"

Lyra greeted her gaze, Lois was sending her death daggers. She raised her eyebrows and stayed quite.

"Don't give me that look she whore! You don't know what you've done!"

"Please, I really don't understand."

Lois leaned down and spat on Lyra. "Felix! You called him to ruin my plan. If ever I do succeed, you're going out first." She threatened.

Lyra only heard one word, and that was Felix's name. Her lips quivered as a weird feeling of longing devoured her.

"Felix! He's back?" She jumped off her bed.
