Chapter 3

New Resolve

I look at this man and I am wondering what is it that he knows about me that I don't know about myself. I mean come on, who doesn't know who they are; it's like your born with a sense of it, though you may not fully know all of it, at least you have a slight direction. I sigh softly knowing that something really demented is happening or is about to happen, otherwise I don't really forsee this man going out of his way just to stalk me and come into my club, especially dressed like that, but that wasn't what was important. This was not only just something that affected me, but my family as well and I know that I may not want to live with them, because of their ideological mindsets of how my future should look like, but I still do love them very much and don't want anything bad to happen to them. I decide to give him a chance to explain what was really going on, so I sit up straight and look at him quite seriously.

"Look for some odd reason my parents trust you, which by the way you and them both have very well neglected to tell me why and I am not entirely sure if I can, but if you know something about my family being in danger you need to tell me what on earth is going on." He looks at me as if he's about to tell me something important, that's when the DJ stoped the music, growing earily quiet, before he gets ready to announce me to the club as the owner, and to give my very heartfelt thanks for the guests still coming out in the flooding rain. and I really needed to get out there so I hold up a finger to him silently saying hang on a minute.

"Stay here. I'll be back in 10 minutes!" I spoke simply, as I eye him slightly still suspicious of his motives over this, before I quickly rush out of the door and swiftly move towards the stage "please give a warm welcome to our beautiful and gorgeous host Alxiea O'Connell!" the DJ introduced me, I would smile and hug him, before grabbing the micophone "this is really a dream come true for me and I am so greatful that you are here tonight to enjoy and celebrate this club opening, even if most of our houses have been flooded out, you all a real troopers! Thank you! Ra bless!" I say with a fake smile that could fool just about anyone of anything. Afterwards everyone would begin to clap and I would just simply smile and wave to them.

Then stepping down off of the stage; swiftly as possible head back towards my office; finding that people just wanted to chit chat to me along the way with everyone desiring a need to tell me 'congratulations' , which I found a tad more annoying than I thought I would, as they also begin to ask me questions. I took a much needed deep breath, before I smiled and open my mouth and say " Thank you all, I will answer your questions and take all of your comments right after I deal with a personal matter in my office." I reply to everyine in kind, before I rush back to my office quickly flung the door open and like wise with shutting and locking it; more so out of habbit than anything else. I tilt my head back against the door, before I lean the weight of my whole body against the door and sigh in relief then I say, "Thank God that's over with." I never really was a big fan of crowds, or even standing on stage talking to large groups of people so when I decided I wanted to open a club, all my parents could do was laugh, and Alex was no better.

Not realizing that I spoke that out loud and forgot the stranger was in my office. I thought to myself 'I don't eve know his name I need to ask him what it is' I tand up straight; slightly readjusting my shirt as I glance at him, his dark beautful brown hazel eyes connecting with my midnight blue eyes. It wss if a thousand words passed between us, but without a single word uttered, until he softly said "I want to tell you all of what is important, but we will talk later after you've packed and we are headed into the dessert." At first I'm egerily ready to nod my head, due the gentle nature of his tone, until it really began to sink in of what he said, 'packed...in the dessert' at this point I had nearly, perfectly convinced myself in my head that he's a killer and wants to kill me and drag me off to the desert to mummifiy me or some sick twist shit, as he holds that certain air of having been in wars and killed over a thousands, causing me to blink moment and slightly narrow my eyes.

He would move from his seat, standing to his feet, gently resting on them a moment as if to say something else, but was quite before he turns and starts to walk away and I say " WAIT!?" It gets his attention and he turns slightly with and eye brow raised looking at me waiting for what I have to say. I look at him, my eyes still narrowed as I look at him and take a deep breath. "First off what is your name? it's rude not to really introduce yourself to someone, and secondly what makes you think that I will even want to go with you, on what just your word?"

He would give a light chuckle and smirks a little and says to me "yes you are right forgive me my name is Ardeth Bay, and as far as the rest, I have faith that you'll come, besides it's in your destiny and your already curious to know more" With that last slue of words he walks out my office door and down the stairs and disappears out of the front door, glancing back at me once, before disapearing into the evening night. I sigh as I sit down in my chair at my desk realizing for the first time it's stopped raining, as well as thinking over all the words he told me "how can this man be so damn certain I'll come.." I thought to myself, before my eyes shifted from the now empty seat in front of my desk, to look down at my kitten.

"I guess... we should go huh?" He looks at me with those amazing golden yellow eyes of his and says "of course we should go, I have been trying to tell you that we are on a crunch schedule to beat what ever it is, that's coming." I look at him confused and completely unsure and I simply say "what do you mean? And how do you know what I need?" I can hear my cat's sigh in his head then he says " what I mean is you basically asked me to trust you to take care of me, now I am asking you to trust me and help you take care of yourself, you didn't find me by mistake, I made sure you did, I am your spiritual trainer"

Shocked beyond words, I just slink down deeper into my chair; quickly losing the fight with myself, on whether or not I should give up the fight. They are both right, I am curious, I want to see what the unknown will bring me, learn all about myself, why Amun was considered my spiritual trainer and plus I have a really bad feeling in the pit of my stomach about my family and if I can do anything to save them from any kind of danger I will, no matter how bizzar and strange it might seem to be. Or even how much I don't believe in the supernatural or anything of the sorts, I am still skeptical about all of that, though my parents truly believe in it, which is totally strange for who they are.

Find this new resolve I knows exactly who to leave in charge of the club, and not one of my friends get that privilege, but the dish washer boy, Alahmi "I know he's good with money and very hard working and trustworthy, what do you think Amun?" "yes, I agree" he says to me I get up and begin making preparations for the next four months, knowing it's going to be a long journey and a very hard training, what ever that entails exactly I'm not sure.

By four am I have everything closed down in the club, Alahmi left in charge with spare keys; he was so greatful for this opportunity, and I even had told him if he did well while I was gone I would make him my manager, especially since there maybe times I can't be there. The new supplies on order, and having finished signing some paper work and dropped them in the near by mail carrier. Amun safely in my arms and my bag on my shoulder with everything I would need in it. We step outside of the club, only to see that mysteriously handsome Ardeth, waiting with two horses ready to go, "Rick and Evelyn ever teach you how to ride?" he asked with a slight smile on his face, before I slipp Amun onto my shoulders and quickly grab the riens and easily and quickly mounted on the horse "I always insisted upon it" I say simply with giggle nd smirk s I begin to race against him right out of the city, before he began to llead me deep into the dessert.
