Chapter 3: Dream

Lyra walked up to her bedroom and drifted off to sleep where Endean met her in their dream and they frolicked in a field of dandelions when...

~~

...Endean stopped, grabbed Lyra's hand and kneeled on one knee.

'Lyra Rose Smith, will you do me the honours of being my beautiful wife'

Before Lyra could answer, she started blabbering into a pool of tears 'Yes, of course I will marry you'

'This is great news! The wedding is being prepared. Let's go'

Lyra and Endean continued running through the field of dandelions when Endean tripped over, ruining the romantic moment between them.

'Oh my gosh, Endean are you okay' Lyra asked trying to hold back her laughter.

But there was no reply...

'Endean' Lyra bent down and tried to roll him over when see's that a stick, has gone right through his chest and out the other end, straight through his heart.

'ENDEAN, WAKE UP, ARE YOU OKAY' Lyra screamed through tears.

Endean opened his eyes, slightly 'I love you, forever and always. Nothing will change that. Lyra, don't change that'

Lyra awoke in a daze of panic, looked around and was relieved to see she was in her own room but it wasn't her room. It was messy. So messy, Lyra couldn't see the floor. Lyra sat up to have a better look when-

'Lyra...I trusted you. I loved you' Sitting beside her, sat Endean. But it wasn't any old Endean. He was pale, skinny and had a massive slit through his throat. 'I couldn't live without you' Lyra was so shocked, she jumped up and ran to her bedroom door, screaming but when she looked back he was gone. She slid down the wall and into a ball on the floor, but as she did, Endean reappeared next to her.

'Scared of a little blood sweetheart?' Endean strained his head, stretching the slit on his throat open, allowing fresh blood to spill out, all over her and the carpet. Lyra screamed again, even louder this time expecting her mum to come through the door but no one did so Lyra jumped up, opened her bedroom door and ran down the familiar but unfamiliar hall of her so-called house. She burst through her mum's bedroom door, looking back once to see Endean staggering after her but before he got to her she slammed the door shut behind her and turned around to see her mum with her head resting on her makeup table and a knife stabbed through her back.

'Mum?' Lyra started walking towards her when someone tapped on her shoulder.

'Looking for me?' Lyra turned around to see her mum standing there with black circles around her eyes and a patch a red blood soaked into her shirt 

'Oh, mum what happened?' Lyra jumped forward to wrap her arms around her but instead her mum pushed her to the floor. Just as Lyra was about to get up and run out the door, Emmett came out from behind her mum, then Fern, Xavier, Daisy and Mary. Lyra started fumbling backwards when Endean pushed the door open.

'We miss Lyra. Where has our Lyra gone?' They all repeated in sync with each other over and over until Lyra screamed and woke up for real, with sweat on her forehead.
