The Royal Protector

Everything seemed wrong in Lyra Castir's life. Her parents dying, an over protective foster 'dad', a foster brother who doesn't act like a brother, and her mysterious head injury in which she lost all her memories... just a couple examples for ya. Her only freedom is school, which to her means getting away from her life at home. On her way home from school, on a seemingly normal day for Lyra, she gets stopped by a total stranger. That's when her life gets turned upside down, and now Lyra is not only saving herself but a family she never knew she had from another realm. *** I hang up the phone, and continue walking home. I can't believe Sean would do and say something like that during school! I'm trying to shove my phone back into the phone pocket in my back pack when I trip over the big crack in the sidewalk again. Making that the third time this week! "Whoa, I gotcha!" I heard a boy say, and I feel arms wrap around me. "Gosh where have you been? What are you doing here?" He asked me. Once I was back on my feet I pushed away from the boy. "Hey Lyra it's me, Chase." the boy said. I looked him up and down, I don't recognize him. I take a step back. His face changes from pure excitement to confusion. He has blonde hair, and brown eyes, very thin figure but something about him is familiar. "I ... ah..." I don't know what to say to him. What if he is some psycho? "I've been trying to find you since the accident! Why didn't you come back home?" He asked. I take another step back, How does he know about my accident? "Lyra what's wrong?" He steps towards me, and holds out a hand. "Come on Lyra your parents are going to want to see you, so stop playing and lets go!" "My parent's? What?" I say. He looks defeated, and lets out a sigh. Now this isn't funny. My parents are dead. "Lyra co-" he begins. "How do you know my name?!" I say, I need to run. He is crazy! "Lyra it's me Chase. The last time I seen you was right before your accident." He paused. "You... you aren't playing are you?" he hesitated. "I'm sorry... I think you have the wrong Lyra." I say and walk around him, then I begin speed walking. "No I don't! I've been trying to find you for the past two years. Well, you and the others. You don't remember anything... at all?" he asked behind me. "Leave me alone!" I say. He grabs my wrist, and I whirl around. "My dad gave me pepper spray!" I say and I start digging in my back pack for it, thankful for once about him being over protective. "Your father? Are you kidding me? Lyra your father and mother are trying to find you. You don't remember who you are?" He is talking and I find the spray. "Lyra your not mortal." "If I'm not mortal what am I?" I laugh, he making up fairy tales now. "You're an elemental, a protector of the royal family in Spridge."

I want to go

"What is Sean's problem?" Melanie whispers, and I rub my forehead. Head-butting the table isn't a smart idea. "He seems, more... creepy perv brother today than normal." Yeah, she couldn't be more right. He didn't hit on me today though. He seemed genuinely worried, but he didn't say what about. He just told me to watch my back, and always carry the pepper spray Harris gave me. "Whatever... he isn't important," I say, grabbing Sophie's unopened milk, and holding it to my forehead. Why did I smack it so hard? First I almost die tripping over a crack, then a turtle bites my finger as I'm letting it go, and now Sean, and my head! Sophie takes her milk away, and the pain slowly disintegrates. "Anyways... your summers sound unbelievably fun." I begin changing the subject. They hop into a huge discussion about how to get me out of my house. The bell goes off, and I head to my study hall. I have no homework, only a free reading book. Which I'm almost done with, I'm partly sure I'm the only sophomore who still reads. I'm also the only sophomore who isn't 16 yet. Friday, so on the last day of school I'll be 16. Doesn't that sound awesome? Being the last day of school, a big party that night, and turning 16! No. I'm mean sure turning 16 is big, I'll get my permit... maybe if Harris lets me.... and I can get emancipated. Meaning I can leave this place. "Lyra... you coming to my party Friday?" Tatum asks sitting next to me, oh it's this study hall. Tatum throws all the parties but isn't actually in any sports. He just throws awesome parties, and he's been major crushing on me since last year when Harris let me come to school. Don't get me wrong I'm crushing back, his dark brown hair and blue eyes, he has a skinny figure and is one hell of a runner... meaning he has great legs! ...But Harris would probably murder him... that's not a very good first date. Having your foster dad murder your date, but that's where it's confusing... he is a foster dad. Not a real dad. "I don't know. You know Harris, probably won't let me out of the house."

I sigh, and he leans forward in his chair. Frustrated, he rubs his eyes. "Tatum... I'm sorry....but you know-" "Sean will be there. Have Sean bring you!" He says, getting a look from the study hall teacher for his outburst. "I can talk to Sean." He whispers. "If you convince Sean to let me go. Without a price, then I'll be there." I smile, and he leans back pride shining off him. We play hangman, and tick-tack-toe the rest of the study hall. Also chatting about summer plans. Once the bell rings again, I only have two classes left. I turn in my textbooks, in English and Spanish. Then I head home, also walking again, I don't want to talk to Sean about a ride. I still beat him home, and happily, I go right into my room. Throwing on my headphones, and blaring the music I sit on my bed staring out the window. A boy is standing outside, on the sidewalk, staring through my window right at me! I get up and look closer, no one is there! No boy?! I understand, I swear he was there. Blonde curly hair, brown eyes, really skinny figure. He wasn't from school, I would've recognized him. He wasn't real! He isn't there now, must've been me daydreaming. Later that night I head to the kitchen, I don't eat super with Harris and Sean. I hate it. Sean is always inappropriate, and Harris is all ... well overprotective foster dad. Grabbing a banana and a Root Beer, I head back to my room. Sean stops me. "Banana for super? You in the mood tonight?" He asks reaching to wrap an arm around me. I slide back, and he chuckles. "You know I can't touch... Harris would kill me." I sigh, I always forget that. "No matter how much I want to." He adds quickly. "Your lips are already spoken for though." He whispers, grumpily then walks off. I turn watching him go. I don't think I was supposed to hear that. My lips are already spoken for? Okay then. Maybe it's his new way of flirting with me. He's been trying a bunch of different techniques lately. Not wanting a banana anymore I set it down on the table, grabbed a lunch all from the fridge, and finally made it back to my room. Pressing play on my tv as I walk by it, The Golden Compass starts playing. It's my favorite movie, I think/hope my parents read the books and fell in love with the name Lyra. Since it is my name. I lay my head down on my pillow, once I finish brushing my teeth, and I feel how tired I am. Not just physically but mentally. I just I'm not on top of it anymore. I have never been during the last couple of weeks of school. Heading downstairs the next morning, I skip breakfast. Harris isn't pleased. "You need to eat." He scolds. "Sean is giving you a ride to school from now on as well. No more walking." He adds, I turn already ready to fire back at him about why that isn't okay. "No changing my mind. Sean gives you a ride or you don't go the school." He just threatened to take away my last week of freedom! Not happening. I'll live getting a ride from Sean. "SEAN!" I yell up the stairs a couple of minutes later. "I want to go!" I add, and he comes strolling down the stairs. I follow him out, once he unlocks his car, I slip into the back, and turn on the music. I get to school with no inappropriate incidents. Sean gave me a break. Melanie meets me at my locker, questioning me about why I'm later than usual. I replay the morning in my head as I tell her. I'm happy he didn't bug me though, or at least my mood is still up high. At least as high as it can be.
