Chapter 2

That morning...

"Oh fuck, I was supposed to meet Nate twenty minutes ago!" I mumbled while looking at my alarm clock. Ten-twenty and it feels like I have a bloody hangover.

I quickly got a shower, texted Nate and curled my hair. Today we were going over our duet for a our premier, we have been dancing since we were ten. I'm now 22 and single, fresh out of College with a major in animal care and a minor in Latin.

I slipped on some sweat pants and a hoodie, grabbed my dance bag and headed out to dance.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!!" I shouted running into the studio, I dropped my bag before stripping my pants off. I had on black spandex shorts don't you worry! Tying up my dance shoes I started stretching before I hooked my phone up to the stereo.

'Say Something' by A Great Big World came on over the speakers. I turned around taking a couple of steps towards Nate before we full on ran towards each other, we embraced each other. Our dance had begun.

Hours later Nate and I walked together to the Starbucks down the road. Being a gentleman he opened the door, "M'lady." I laughed, breathing in the fumes of coffee brewing. "That smell never gets old." I sighed heading over to the counter, "Hi welcome to Starbucks, what can I make for you?" a girl with short black hair in a pixie cut asked. Her skin was pale, she was really pretty. "Lexi, I-I didn't know you worked here." Nate stuttered behind me, oh how big is his crush on Lexi.

"Umm yeah. So uh what can I make for you two?" she asked blushing. "I'll take a venti Vanilla Bean Frapp with two pumps of carmel please. And whatever he wants." I said pulling out my debit card.

We paid for our drinks, while we waited for them I nudged Nate on the arm. "So, you and Lexi huh?" he gave me a hard look. "No, never!" I tilted my head. "So says the boy w-who s-s-sttured w-while ta-talking to her."

"Fine, yes I like her. Would it make you happy if I gave her my number?"
I nodded, "But the question is...would it make you happy."

"Order 7 is up" Lexi called out. "Go get her lover boy." He ended up giving her his number.

••That Night••

"Alright Nick, ready to have some fun?" I was walking down the hallways with Nick as dad was out in the lobby waiting for us. He sat Nick down on the front desk. "There you go. Best seat in the house."

"What's going on?" Nick asked a little confused, "If I told you, you'd think I'm crazy so I'm just gonna show you." Dad checked his watch, "What?"
"You'll see in about twenty seconds. Okay, you like Tyrannosaurus rex?" Nick nodded, man was I getting excited for this. "Yeah"

"Yeah? Well I call him Rexy. And he is about to come to life, Nicholas...in...five, four, three, two-" dad said while pointing to Rexy. He is such a big sweet heart when not trying to chase you around. Wait, hold on.

No roar.
No movement.
No bone cracking.

"Dad, Is something wrong with him?" I looked at Nick, yup he was disappointed in dad again.
"I'm going to check the other exhibits." I ran off to find every one still in there still life form.

"What about Ahkmenrah's tablet?" Dad and Nick caught up with me at the entrance to his tomb like place.
Dad shone his flashlight up at where Ahk(Thats my short nickname for him) tablet should be. Its missing.

"It's gone." Dad said stating the obvious "Whats gone?"
"The tablet. I think somebody stole it." I said walking faster with dad. "Yeah right." Nicky said unconvinced, I would be too if it were not that I was already here before when everyone did come back to life. "Were not kidding Nicky, trust me we are not crazy."
