Was this supposed to be a punishment?
Lyra held her teacup to her mouth and took a dainty sip of the grape soda within. The lake was beautiful; the water sparkled in the sunlight and the grass seemed so green along its banks.
The weird people who had put her to sleep and delivered her here had been looking at her as if she were a monster. She had expected to be strapped to a hospital bed or something, not put in a place like this. Yes, it was a cage, but it was a far larger cage than the one she'd lived most of her life in. She'd only been here a day, but she already knew it was going to be more fun here than it had ever been at home.
As she laid on her blanket by the lakeside, head propped up by her arms, she kicked her feet back and forth, enjoying the sensation of her flip-flops bouncing this way and that. She had chosen a sky blue sundress for her her first outing, and she found it just perfect. No one had bothered her all day long, even though she looked so pretty! She could only suppose being hit on in real life wasn't quite like on TV. Oh well! There would be plenty of time to play around later. She still had her abilities, after all. She wasn't supposed to use them, but in a place like this, who was really going to stop her?
The memory of being stung by one of those tranquilizer darts made her wince.
Lyra shifted until she was sitting cross-legged on her blanket and carefully poured more grape soda from her teapot into her empty cup. For now, there was no need to worry about being attacked again - no one here had come to hate her yet. For the moment, she was blissfully alone.
