"Ok here goes!"Rose10 concentrated on the description of the inside of the Gobblers HQ.A porthole opened."LEt's go!"Rose10 hurried through,but left her right hand for IamwhoIam to grab onto.

IamwhoIam grabbed it, but missed, focosing all her attention at Mrs Coulter's actions. She was one moment ordering the Gobblers to force the kicking and fighting Lyra into the window going into the other world. Her fierce expressions flickered a change for a second and after that her legs moved, like they were under a lot of weight. "Hurry!" Rose10 said. "Okay." IamwhoIam rushed thought the portal going face smack into a building covered in snow. It took a wile for her to realise the sudden cold. Her teeth chattered wildly.

They entered the building finding the place empty as in really, really empty. There wasn't anything around. The doors looked like they had been ripped out and the were portals all over the place. IamwhoIam bit her lip again, not caring if it hurt from where she bit it last time. "I... I guess they've moved." They didn't exit though. They explored the place taking a long time, avoiding the portals.

"...or maybe, no. I know Mrs Coulter's on our side..." They turned the corner to find the machine, without the scale that measured Dust, with a Mrs Coulter inside one of the two mesh wired cages. Her golden furred monkey dæmon was in the other spitting and thrashing about. A blade was raised between them, ready to strike. Several people in white lab coat with goggles were surrounding it. Luckily Rose10 and IamwhoIam stepped back behind the wall before being noticed. "I guess they don't need to measure the Dust then," IamwhoIam said shakily. She peered round the corner to see if Lyra and Will were within sight. They were no where to be seen, but a faint window hung in the air. IamwhoIam smiled at herself. They managed to escape!

She didn't look. Instead she shouted after her, "How did you get one!? Now your life is at danger just because you've got one." IamwhoIam was full of bitter jealousy. "You... you never told me you had one. Your dishonestness shows it all. Good bye." IamwhoIam jumped into a portal where Ci'gazze took place saw that she could see spectres. "No," she whispered and shouted, "Help!!! Help!!!"

The weather was bitter,but Rose10 kept on going."Don't worry Meeki.I won't let them cut us.I'm never letting you go.It would be like a 6 year old giving up a ka in ancient egypt."

"No dæmon! No dæmon!" IamwhoIam cried out in wails. Though the spectres managed to find the dæmon within her and almost sucked it out from her, but she found the strength to run free. To run away from the spectres. She jumped into another world hole and came to a world with just plants. This calmed her down, but still weak from the attack of the spectres.

IamwhoIam was about to settle, when The Amber Spyglass appeared next to her. She looked at it in confusion and then it seemed like the world had stopped, just for her to read it. The waterfall's sound stopped and so did the trickling. The wind stopped and all the portals closed around her. Alone, she thought and adding the other side, with no way out.So she opened the book and read the first chapter: 1 The Enchanted Sleeper
In a valley shaded with rhododrons, close to the snow line where a stream milky with melt-water splashed and where doves and linnets flew among the immense pines, lay a cave, half hidden by the crag above and the stiff heavy leaves that clustered below. The woods were full of sound: the stream between the rocks, the wind among the needles of the pine brancehes, the chitter of insects and the cries of the arboreal mammals, as well as the bird-song; and from time to time a stronger gust of wind would make one of the branches of a chedar or a fir mave against another and gran like a cello. It was a place of brilliant sunlight, never undappled; shafts of lemon-gold brilliance lanced down to the forest floor between bars and pools of brown-green shade; and the light often float among the tree-tops, filtering all the sun light to a pearly sheen and brushed every pine-cone with moisture and glistened when the mist lifted. Sometimes the wetness in the clouds condensed into tiny drops half-mist and half-rain that floated downwards rather than fell, making a soft rusting patter among the millions of needles.She stopped and looked around. Wasn't that where she was? She went back to reading it about Lyra and Will trip to the world of dead and the way of how Will's dæmon became a form and how their dæmon were made so they could go far from their person. Lyra's and Will's dæmon became settled, unable to change forms. Lyra's a cat and Will's a bird when they fell in love. Mary Malone made the amber spyglass, abling her to see Dust and this helped her see how the world was going wrong. Every window that was opened created a spectre and every window's depth sucked Dust in. Dust was the thing that made world right. IamwhoIam thought for a while why Lyra and Will was here. A light bulb turned on in her mind. They were trying to prevent the portals from opening!

Rose10 wlaked through the bitter coldness.She'd been trudging through this snow for about a month now.All that was there was frozen wasteland."Perhaps you should open a porthole to wherever your friend is.We can worry about Will and Lyra later."Meeki suggested."HEy,why didn't I think of that?"Rose10 concentrated on IamwhoIam and then a porthole opened.It was different to the other because it had a strange purple glow.Rose10 thought nothing of it and ran through it.But when she got there,she was quite suprised.She was in somekind of banquet hall."Wrong place,I guess"Meeki said and before Rose10 could speak,the door creaked open.

Time past and IamwhoIam grew weary of not being in her world. The little village said in the book was there, but she daren't go near because she didn't have a dæmon. "I HATE YOU ROSE10!" IamwhoIam roared. She just had to get her feelings out. Fury burned through her veins. Why did she leave me? She was so dishonest! Every time IamwhoIam thought of Rose10, she scrunched up her fist and pinched herself hard whith her nails until she bled. IamwhoIam found she liked pain when she was angry and found it like a drug - addictive. Then her Death came. "It shall be time if you carry on," it said. IamwhoIam turned around to see a plain face girl around fourteen. Her skin was so pale and they looked so frail like they would snap with the tiniest touch. IamwhoIam knew at once. "Take me then."

Meanwhile,somebody came into the cold looking banquet hall."Welcome!I've been expecting you."he said,which sent a shiver down her spine.Meeki spat at the man."Hush,Meeki."Rose10 said and that was all else she could manage.

Unusually, she didn't die. There was no body left behind. She just walked in the direction she knew she had to go. It was like knowing where your nose was, it just came to her where to go. As IamwhoIam walked, the sky grew dark as she entered a city. A building was in the centre and she entered it with her Death. She was still alive and abnormally they let her pass.

There it was on the harbor, the boat that took her to the world of dead and, sooner, the pain that she would feel. The separating of the dæmons and the causing of ones hidden ones. Unafraid of what would happen, she jumped into the boat afloat on the scummy water and that was where her Death left her with a small tinkle of her fingers. The boat travelled slowly at first and it felt weird for IamwhoIam to see no portals, since she had gotten so used to them. She looked around her to see the place just as described in the book. The water was filthy and murkyish grey. Nothing seemed alive here apart from her and no one else saw she had life as happened in The Subtle Knife. As she travelled afar from the harbor, a pain built up in her heart, like nothing she had felt before. It's was like a part of her mind and heart was separated from the rest and it was mentally and physically painful. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she tried to hold back the pain. The boat man just winked at her, since he saw the process go through Will and Lyra a year ago.
