Chapter 9, Lyra: Discovery

"Keefe can I-"

Flash! something flashed in Keefe's pocket.

"WHOA! what's that?" I asked pointing at his pocket.

"It's just my imparter, and I have to take a call, You stay here Lyra."

"Okay!" I agreed.

....

"I'm kinda bored just sitting here on the couch doing nothing" I said to myself.

Then, and idea struck my mind

I don't really get the chance to explore much in this house because keefe never leaves me out of sight and doesn't like when I go into rooms im not supposed to.

So I decided to explore our big house with what seemed to have a million floors.

Its weird to have a big house with not many people in it....

I started to open random doors.

"Hello?" I said, as i opened a door. "Anybody there?"

Wow.

This house was emptier that I thought....

Then there was a door with a sign on it.

"I think that sign is saying me to go in!" I said. "Maybe there is Mallowmelt inside!"

A/N: *ahem* the sign actually said "Do not enter" but Lyra can't read...sooo...

I ran in and screamed, "MALLOWMELT TIME!!!"

I opened my eyes, there was no mallowmelt..or any candy for that matter....

There was a lot of drawers with paper sticking out ad the tiny room was very dusty.

"WOW WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!" I yelled to the empty room.

but then I thought: "maybe there is candy INSIDE the drawers!"

I quickly opened a drawer, a bit too had and the drawer came out.

I basically broke the drawer.

oops.

I looked in the drawer and all I saw was papers with black eyes on it. and then one had a picture of my mom.

A black eye

with the picture of my mom beside it.

Does Keefe know this room exists??? I HAVE TO TELL HIM!

I ran all the way back to the living room to show Keefe the paper.

"KEEFE! KEEFE!" I ran to him.

"What is it Lyra?" 

"KEEFE! OUR MOM IS IN THE BLACK EYE!" I said showing him the paper.

"Oh.....I know" he said. "And it's not called the black eye, it's called the Neverseen."

I looked at the paper, "Well how was I supposed to know is was called the Neverseen! What does it have to do with a black eye?"

"Keefe slapped his forehead.

"And why is there a picture of mom beside it?" I said questionably.

"Look Lyra, it's a long story, and i'm going to tell it to you...."
