Old story dude.... But I have a chapter of my story Here:
Today was an uneventful day, so far. I have been wandering around my flat for hours. Even though I still have school work I must complete, I am bored.
“Kat! Come on! You Mum is calling!” Yelled a servant, Belle. I ignored Belle, like usual. She was a nice girl, about twenty-three but she was the most troubling person. She would always follow rules, she was immensely strict. Anyway, Mum would make me work on school work that I was given for summer term.
I picked up my pace and swiftly walked to the nearest column. I would hide behind it until she passed. On my shoulder was a small chipmunk. “Is she gone yet Kat?” He asked me. I turned to him and said, “Yes, Salion.” Instantly he jumped off of my shoulder and became a mountain lion. His bright blue-green eyes shone on my face. He padded toward an opening in the rocks. He and I generally would sit up on top of the wall surrounding my flat and chat.
Once I had gotten there he changed to a bear and bent down. I climbed on top of his back and he lifted me up and I scrambled onto the wall. Then, once again, Salion changed but this time to a rather large eagle. It was rather unnecessary due to the fact that our wall is only two and a half meters high. Never the less he decided to show off. “Show off” I muttered once he reached the top. He winked at me, typical.
“Term is starting soon.” He remarked
“Yes it is, isn’t it.” I said realizing it. For the last few years I had been attending ‘Queen of Angels’ (1) school. That was a private school for younger children, Now I was to go to a new school, Blessed Trinity (2).
“Well soon we will be at BT” there was a hint of excitement in his voice.
“Yeah, BT” I said sighing.
We stayed up there for some time actually. Around two hours actually. I was thinking about my life at my newer school, Most of the girls were to go to Saint Rose (3) or Saint Ursula (4), Blessed Trinity was for the girls of rich families, or anyone high up in the Magisterium.
I was snapped out of my thoughts by my mother. She had reached up, grabbed the back of my dress and pulled me down to the ground. I fell and mud splashed all over me, my dress and my mother’s legs.
“Where were you when Belle called for you?” She asked very calm like.
“I didn’t hear her” I lied
“Really” She said raising and eyebrow at me. I could tell she was inspecting me and my now mud stained dress. Her Daemon did the same. I wasn’t to fond of her monkey.
“Yes really mother, would I lie to you?” I lied again, I had to keep a straight face or she would instantly know I was lying.
“Then where were you? I mean if you didn’t hear her you must have been off the flat. But you wouldn’t go off the Flat, not after what I had told you.” Mother replied, she had caught me. Then my escape came to me!
“Well you see Salion and I were flying around the flat. I never left it I was just in the air above it.” I said inwardly smiling at my brilliant plan.
“For the last two hours?”
“Yes Mother”
“Then why wasn’t your hair messed up a single bit?” She asked innocently, she had caught me again.
“Well I naturally fixed it” I said quickly
“ I see then… You’re grounded Kathryn” She said, “I saw you sitting on the wall for the past hour Kat” She gave me a look that said only one thing, Nice-try-but-I-am-better.
I gave up and started to walk in. “Coming Sal?” I asked looking at the large stone like eagle on the wall. “No I will be fine.” He and I were different than other people. He and I were the first experiments for cutting. We were cut, in total of sixteen times. The longest we had lasted alone was around two weeks, afterward they instantly ‘sewed’ us back. Because we had been separated for so long we could easily walk many meters away from each other and stay perfectly fine.
I walked up into my house. My mother had walked into her office, nights like these she would shut herself up there and work. She had been doing that much more often now that the ‘gobblers’ were in Oxford. Many people knew the story of Lyra, Lord Asriel and Lady Coulter. What they didn’t know was Lady Coulter was also raped when she was eighteen. The rapist was Edward Coulter, my father, mum’s husband. He had first grown close to her family and then he raped her. Afterward he planned to propose to her in front of her family so she couldn’t say no. I thought about it all while I walked up to get a bath.
Once the water filled to the top I sunk into it. My black hair moved back and fourth in the water. Everything was tranquil, the way I like it. Moments later Mum walked in. She slowly made her way over and sat down on the ledge of the bathtub. She reached her hand out and placed it behind my head. She pulled me forward and kissed my fore head.
“Thinking about your father?” She asked quietly
I closed my eyes and nodded, “why did he do that?” I asked, I started to tear up. The subject of me being born because of a rape never really appealed to me.
“He wanted me as a wife. It’s my fault.” She whispered, then she lifted up my face and touched her forehead to mine and her nose to mine. “But all that matters is that I still love you no matter what.” She kissed my forehead again and turned to leave.
“Wait” I called, she looked back. “Would you wash my hair?” I asked quietly, I was turning a bit pinkish. Mum smiled, Her daemon hopped over and sat next to the bathtub. Mum walked over and put some soap on her hands an began to gently scrub my scalp.
“I love you mum” I said
“I love you too baby” Mum told me.
