Lyra's POV:

Classes were over.

We were headed back to the common room.

Ezra was still life less and zoning out every couple minutes, he didn't even have lunch.

Eliana and I started walking to our dorm.

We entered and I headed to my dresser to get changed, when,

"Some one was here." Said Eliana.

"Hm?"

"I can tell, not for long, but some one was here." She said

"Could it be Jess?" I asked.

"Check the bathroom." She said

I checked and saw the clean towel, we had left for her, now wet and hung on the rack.

"She was here." I said.

"Then where's she now?" Asked Eliana.

"Her uniform's untouched." I said.

"But her vanity isn't." She said.

We decided to first get changed from our uniform and then we'd go look for her.

I got changed and sat on my bed, waiting for Eliana.

I heard rustling outside and checked the window to see my owl.

I frowned, odd timing for letters.

Sapphire landed on the windowsill and I noticed an envelop, tied to his foot.

I took it off to see no stamp, the handwriting looked as if it was written in a rush.

To

Lyra Nightshade

Ms Nightshade you must hurry home, we don't have time. Your father came home injured and is now causing havoc at the manor. He's broken many things and your home's in bad shape, not to mention he's searching for Lucia, and I can't find her. I'm sorry for this news.

Lucinda Evern

The letter fell out of my hands.

Fuck

What has he done now?

Eliana stepped out of the restroom and frowned, running to me.

I couldn't move and stood there frozen.

"Lyra? Lyra? Speak to me! Are you okay?"

I couldn't form words so I kept silent.

She noticed the parchment on the floor and picked it up and her eyes scanned the paper intensely for a minute.

Her eyes widened.

"Lyra, LYRA!"

I finally snapped out.
