| by the window. She walked over and studied the bird�s feet, finding the small, hardly noticeable bracelet that would identify Suetekh. �Oh, Suetekh, my love!� Bonnie said as she unlatched the cage and took the bird out. �Tell me everything that�s happened.� As soon as she placed the bird on the ground, it morphed into a dark powerful looking man with eyes the color of steel and an ancient bracelet he had stolen on his left wrist that allowed him to morph into any animal he chose. The bracelet had the ability to change size according to what animal the wearer turned into. �It was that damned O�Connell,� Suetekh grumbled. �I got the child to take me in, but he told the child to keep me caged and because of that I haven�t been able to do any searching. Every lifetime he has overpowered me, but it won�t happen again. I did once get an opportunity, but unfortunately, they have a cat. It�s bad enough that cats sense evil and it did not help much that I�d chosen to morph into a little helpless bird. I�m glad you were able to get here so quickly, Nephthys. I�ve missed you.� He said using her name from a past life. He pulled her over for a kiss. �And I have missed you as well, Seth, my love,� she confessed using the name given to him in this life. �I have already met Rick and you have one advantage over him. He remembers nothing of his past life as Osiris, or of any other lives, but we must be careful. He did seem to look at me as if in the back of his mind he�d known me, but one look at you, and I�m sure he�ll remember everything from his past lives, especially the fact that he hates you.� Jean ([email protected]) January 18, 2002 Meanwhile... "What is it Rick? I'm trying to get Jonathan and his fianc�e settled in." Evie sighed walking into the bedroom. "She's crazy! She walked right on in here to wake me up! I don't understand what she's pulling, but I don't like it already." Rick snarled, yanking his pants on and accidentally putting both legs into one. Kate (Drama [email protected]) January 20, 2002 "Honey, honey, just calm down," Evie said as Rick struggled with his pants. (that's not what i mean!) "I don't like her either, but annoying as she is, she is my brother's fianc�e, and we've got to try to see what he sees in her, no matter how hard it may be." "Ok, ok, but I don't like her trapesing around here like she owns the place," said Rick. Meanwhile, in Alex's room, the two conspirators made their plans. "We must swear that we will not make the same mistakes that Imhotep made," Seth said gravely. "Osiris will not escape us this time." Nephthys (or Bonnie) smiled. "Don't worry. I already have a plan. You see, the O'Connell's have a weak spot, and we are standing in this weak spot's room right now." Zanna ([email protected]) January 23, 2002 Evie giggled at Rick telling him, "I don't think that's going to work, putting both your legs into one pant leg." Rick looked at her with amusement and told her, "no i don't think it will either." He pulled his leg out and put his pants on right, zipping and buttoning. He told Evie with a frown, "I don't trust her. She took two of your boyfriends from you already and from her appearance in here a few minutes ago, it would seem she is trying to do it again and is just using Jonathan as a way to get to you and me." "We don't have proof yet, we will just have to wait and see what she does next. Jonathan won't listen to either of us. He truly loves her," Evie told him sadly, "and I would hate to break his heart." "I know Evie, but if it's true then there is nothing either of us can do from stopping him from getting heartbroken." Shell ([email protected]) January 23, 2002 Despite knowing that her husband was right, it was still difficult to stand there while Bonnie messed up her brothers life. Rick who had always been able to read her emotions pulled her into his arms and gave her a kiss, one that ignited the passion that was always there. Before he took her to their bed, he closed the door and locked it, then it was just them, two bodies meant for one another. *~*~*~*~*~* After the long drive, Jonathan had gone to sleep, and being bored, Alex decided to go check on his bird. As he walked up the stairs he whistled a tune, as happy as could be. Then he opened the door and what he saw made him scream, only when he tried he could not. Bonnie grabbed him and quickly tied him up, and all the while Alex thought of what had happened in Ahm-Shere and wondered when it would stop. "Now child, you will help us," Seth said, talking to Alex in his mind. In Seth�s mind he heard laughter. "I will not. My father will save me," Alex told him. Now it was Alex who heard laughter, evil laughter. "Foolish mortal boy do you not know that I am a god. If you don't help us get what we want, then I will kill both of your parents, only this time you won't have the book to bring them back." Tears streamed down his face, and Alex felt like if he tried hard enough he could wake up from this dream. When Bonnie tried to wipe his tears, Alex pushed her hands away, then in one whisp of wind they were gone traveling back to Egypt, back to Seth�s Temple, to plan. Heidi Rittner ([email protected]) January 23, 2002 It was now well into the evening. Rick and Evie had fallen asleep in their bedroom. Evie began to stir when she heard some mumbling and felt the bed jerk every so often. She glanced at her husband with half opened eyes. He seemed to be having a bad dream of some sort. Evie lifted herself onto an elbow and began to shake Rick. �Rick. Rick, wake up,� she whispered so as not to wake anyone. Rick started talking louder and moving around more. �Rick!� Evie said in a loud whisper, then began to shake him harder. |
