Impossible Love

Chapter 2: Why Me

8 Years Later

I sat on the tour bus looking at the different pyramids. Our Professor was talking to someone making sure it was safe for us to get off the bus. I sighed and looked down at my hands. I hadn't had another episode in months. I still see the soul mates of others though so I still had my 'powers' I guess you could say.

I kept my eye covered now with a pair of glasses. Most thought I was blind. Which was okay not many asked and not many talked to me. Some try to help me but I would kindly tell them I could do whatever I was doing perfectly fine but happy they were willing to help.

I thought about my sister who was still recovering even after 8 years . My brother who was now a famous artist and took care of Kylie. I looked down at my necklace and still had no idea what it meant. The voice wasn't as frequent as before and honestly I felt lonely. Which was weird it was not a actual person speaking to me right... Right?

Lost in thought I was startled when I heard students start standing up and moving to get off the bus. I quickly stood up and was able to squeeze out of my seat and get off without any conflict. I looked around and smiled. Dad and mom met here while they were working on something. Some kind of tomb they found. I soon stop smiling when I think about what happened to dad.

I hated when I thought about things like that. Pushing the thoughts to the back of my mind I followed to our site. We would stay here for a week and practice what we learned in architectural history and the practice of archeology. Most people were paired with 1 or 2 people but I was left alone. I again didn't mind.

As I walked to my tent I felt a weird feeling in my stomach but brushed it off as nothing. 2 days went by where we did nothing but listen to someone talk and talk. I knew most of the information so I blocked out whatever they were saying.

I sighed sadly and looked around at the other students. Most were to focus on talking to their buds or taking notes. What felt like forever they finally let us go have fun in the dirt. I stood up and walked to my station. I felt that weird feeling again and tried so hard to ignore it. I soon noticed that the wind had stopped and my heart raced. 

The silence was all I heard. The same silence that I heard after my father passed. It was driving me crazy. My anger soon subsided after feeling a calm presence beside me. I just sigh and look down at my hand "Let go of my hand." the presence soon went away and I turn to walk over to my tent. After a while, the silence turned into the normal talking and tools. My professor soon called me out of the safety of my tent and I walked out to see him speaking to an older woman.

"Ashlyn this is Rebecca Blackmon she worked with your parents when they were here," he said happily but something threw me off. I forced a smile and shook her hand "Hello " I was able to squeak out. She grinned and her eyes were a soft green color " Hello dear you look so much like your mother and definitely have your father's hair. Speaking of which how is your father" She gave a wicked smile and I looked down "Dead " was all I was able to say to the woman in front of me.

She was staring at me which slowly made my anger grow. She knew that he was dead but she wanted me to lose my temper why. I sighed and turned to leave "I am sorry but I must go back to my station" I started walking and felt my sadness and anger stir inside me. I hadn't realized I was crying until I had got to my station as I saw a golden tear fall upon my hand. More anger filled up inside me, weak, all I could think was how weak I am. It is ridiculous, I shook my head and let my hand fall to my side and began distracting myself before I had an episode. 

Whilst working I heard a scream and some people scrambling around. My head shot up from my station and saw a big sandstorm coming in. We all made way to our tents but as I was running I ended up falling through the sand and landing on my head. All I saw next was sand pouring in blocking the hole that was my only known exit. With that I blacked out.

After what assume was many hours I slowly regain consciousness and sat up. I looked around but it was pitch black. I guess I fell into a tomb that was buried beneath the sand. I stood up and looked around. I felt for a wall so I could find something to help. I guessed the others would notice that I am missing and try to find where I was.

Suddenly a blue light was seen far on another wall. My heart stopped as I saw my name in blue cursive in the sky. Above the name that was glowing.

My soul mate but how. I quickly walked over to the name and looked at it. My heart stopped when I read the name aloud. "Anubis"

I heard rustling behind me and my whole body stopped when I heard the same deep voice only so many times before saying softly.

"Finally, You have come"
