| �No. I can�t explain it Brian, but I�m scared.� �As anyone would be.� �I think I need to go to Egypt.� �For what?� �I need to see something Brian. There has to be some kind of record kept about Hapy and his lover Tefnut and his wife, Neffertiti.� I heard him gasp and than silence. �What?� �You sounded like you were from that time. That was so flawless.� I sat there, rehearing them in my mind and it was flawless. �Did you call Howie?� �No, his cell phone is with me. Where is he?� �Out with AJ.� �Thanks Bri. Hey, I have to jet, but I�ll call you when I figure out what�s going on.� �Please do. Later girl.� �Bye.� I hung up my phone, lost in my own thought. �Theresa?� �What Howie?� �Where are you?� �In the computer room babe.� �Doing what?� I turned to look at him and smiled. �I�m getting tickets, well, yeah, if you want to go.� �Go where?� �Egypt.� �What! For what?� �Howie, I went back to that shop, that guy was lying. That necklace, it�s very powerful. You don�t understand it at all. I need to head to Egypt to find out all I can about Tefnut or Hapy or Neffertiti.� �Who?� �All the people in the dreams Howie.� �Oh, yes. So, you�re going to Egypt?� �Yes. Want to come?� �Sure. We�ll make a vacation of it.� I just glanced at him and smiled. �Yeah, we will.� �Where are you going today Mr. Dorough?� �To Giza, I believe.� �Oh, a lovely place to go.� �Oh, my girlfriend thought it would be a lovely vacation.� �It is. I�m Nicholi, your stewardess for this flight. If you need anything, just give me a holler.� �Thank you Nicholi.� �You�re welcome.� �She seemed nice,� Howie said. I turned to look at him and smiled. �Yeah, I suppose. Are you sure you want to do this?� �Of course. Baby, what�s important to you is important to me, you know that.� He leaned against the seat and kissed me. I smiled at him and he kissed me again. �Have I told you today that I love you?� �Not that I�m aware of.� �Oh, I do. Very much baby.� �Mmm, I love you too sweetie. I think I�m catching a few winks of sleep.� �Here, use my shoulder babe.� He put his arms around my shoulder and I leaned against him. I closed my eyes, a smile tugging at my lips. *~*~*~ I stood, my back facing my door, my tablet laying at my feet and my eyes glancing out at the full moon that shone down upon us. �Tefnut?� �Come in Khepri.� �What is wrong? Neffertiti has cursed you and is wishing your death.� �Let her wish it. She kills me, I will only haunt her in the after life.� �Why do you say such things?� I turned to look at Khepri and smiled. �I can see these things, do you not know?� �I am aware, yes.� �Oh, Khepri, what does Hapy say?� �He wishes to see you.� �Very well, thank you.� Khepri bowed slightly and I walked down the many halls to Hapy�s bed chamber. I softly knocked on his door and one of his servants answered it. He bowed and left me, pointing to Hapy. �Hello.� �Ah, Tefnut, my love, come here.� �What is wrong?� �Nothing. I have a present for you. Something truly wonderful.� He snapped his fingers and one of his servants ran off. A few moments later, returned with a box in his hands. �This is for you. I want only you to wear to it, and only you to have it.� He opened the box for me and inside was a beautiful necklace. I pulled it out and gently slid it on my neck. �It looks wonderful on you.� �Neffertiti wanted this.� �How do you know?� I turned back around and glanced at him. I kissed him and he smiled. �I know. She�s talked about it with her servants.� �But it was for you the whole time.� �You do know she�ll do anything for this.� �I am aware.� I kissed him again and he smiled. �But I love you Tefnut, that makes the whole difference.� �I know Hapy, I know.� He picked me up and walked over to the bed. He stripped my clothes off, letting them land in a pile along the tiled floor. I slipped into the bed, waiting for him. *~*~*~ I awoke with a start, not believing that dream. Hell, I didn�t believe any of my dreams really. And all my dreams centered on them. I looked out my window at the endless ocean. I sighed, finally noticing that Howie was no longer sitting in his seat. I turned my head and saw him talking to Nicholi. I frowned, not liking this scene, but not knowing why. I slowly got up and walked over to them. |
