Chapter 3

Last night had been hard on Lilly. She had been constantly turning and twisting in her sheets as her dreams assaulted her. She had dreams about the things she had seen last night, and most of them centered on Jonah. The last one of her dreams scared her the most. It had been back in Egypt, like her other vision, but something was different. Maybe it was a later time, or in a different part of the land.

But she had seen a man walking across the swirling sand with nothing on except a thin shirt on his back and torn pants on his legs. He had shaggy blonde hair and striking green cat eyes. His lips were chapped, and his skin was sun blistered from the constant exposure.

You could tell he wasn’t going to last long if he continued to stay out in the unforgiving dessert. Thescene had changed quickly from that to the same man lying on a bed. Same clothes and everything except his complexion was better and not so sallow.

A woman came into the room with a bowl and rag in her hands. She looked similar with her raven black hair and older complexion. Maybe it was the clothes that were throwing Lilly off. The woman came over to the bed and washed the man’s face and feet. The man came with a start almost hitting the woman until he saw it was just her and not someone trying to hurt him.

“Who are you?” he pulled himself away from her grasp.

“I am just a humble servant.” Kneeling down on the floor she tried yet again to wash his feet. “I know that this isn’t what you are used to, but I’m trying to do my very best with the situation we are in.”

“And what kind of situation are we in woman?”

“I found you passed out from heat stroke, and thought it best to bring you inside before the humans got you. They came by a few hours ago when you were still sleeping. I hope I made the right choice in doing this milord.”

Lilly was perplexed, why was the woman calling Jonah ‘milord’? The last thing she thought of when seeing Jonah was him being a king or having a high title.

“Bastet would be proud of you. What is your name?” he reached down with his dirty hands and brought the woman face to face with him.

“Val.” Lilly felt like her head was going to fall off its axis! That lady was Val? This woman in front of her was so meek and quiet, and the Val she knew was strong and commanding. These two could not possibly be the same person.

Lilly wasn’t sure what happened after that because she had woken up abruptly to see Jonah’s face hovering over her. “What are you doing here?”

“I’m here to train you. Val wasn’t lying when she said that we would start immediately. Now get you butt out of the bed and get dressed.” He left so she could get dressed, and she did as slow as possible. “Hurry up! I’m growing old over here!” his head popped in and she instantly freaked.

“Get out! I’m getting dressed you Pedophile!” a sudden pain went off in her head. Almost like a migraine but even more painful. Stumbling over to her vanity, she clung the edge tightly, making her knuckles turn white. She looked up into the mirror to notice two weird eyes looking back at her. Bright green in color and thin slits in the center were focusing and unfocusing right before her.

“I know it hurts right now, but it will get better. You are still in between the transitions.” He pulled her head around so he could stare directly into her eyes. Letting his own cat eyes show, Lilly saw how truly brilliant they were. Blinding green with flecks of gold stared back at her. “Just focus on me, don’t think about the pain. Let it go and focus your sight.”
