Chapter 2
I stare at the big, dark building that is supposed to be a school, but it looks more like a prison or something taken from a horror movie. "This is it" Daniel says hand takes my hand. After a very quiet car drive I more than welcomes his familiar voice. "Are you sure that we should go in there? Because I'm very sure that you didn't get the information about those students on legal ways" I can hear a little tone of uncertainty in my voice. Daniel turns towards me so that his face is right by mine. I meet his eyes and I can tell that he doesn't like our new environment any more than I do, but I can also see a spark of curiosity in his eyes. I damn myself for ever telling him about my dream, because I know that the feeling I have gotten from my dreams, he has had that same feeling aver since the first time we laid eyes on each other. I don't know were he got that feeling, but I do know that he wouldn't let that feeling go without looking into it and when I told him about my dreams he got an excuse to really look into it. But I can't figure out why he would get the exact same dream as me after I told him about it.
My thoughts are interrupted by Daniel's voice "What are you thinking of?" he asks. I meet his seeking eyes, and for a moment the world around me disappears. It has a habit of doing so everytime I look into Daniel's beautiful, violet eyes. " Why do you insist on investigate this feeling you and I have? Isn't it enough that we have each other now. Like so what if we have lived before, because obviously we were together then aswell." His violet eyes grows serious as I finish my sentence. " See it this way Luce, what if we have lived before? Who were we then? Who are the other people in the dream? And most importantly, how is it possible that we could live more than one life? Don't you want to find that out? I know that I want because I want to know me, and I also really want to know you. I want to know if you were happy in the other life and if you were in some kind of danger. I want to be able to protect you if that is necessary!" Daniel's voice is filled with love and I can't help but to think of the matter from his point of view. Was it possible to live more than one life? That simple question makes me make up my mind.
" Come on, let's find out" I say and starts to walk toward the gates. Daniel follows me and grabs my hand.
When we get inside the gate we walk over to the first building, the same one that is the first building that meets the eye. The closer we get to the building the more details I see. I can see that the building is made of bricks and by the door there are two angels carved out. When we get to the door I can also see that the angels seems to reach out for the sky, like they could grab ahold of a cloud and take it down to the earth. Judging by the smog that lays on the ground I would say that they succeeded with that.
Daniel opens the heavy door and as I step into the lobby I get a strong feeling of déjà vu. I can't explain it but I seriously feel that I have been in this exact lobby before. I look at Daniel and I can tell from his expression that he has the same feeling as me. We don't say anything about it though, instead we walk up to the receptionist, a old lady with red glasses and grey hair. She doesn't acknowledge us at all. I get a little annoyed by this and clears my throat. She looks up with suspicious, green eyes. "We don't allow visitors until Wednesday, come back in two days." She says with a raspy voice. "uhm, we aren't visitors, we are actually old students and we would just want to visit our old school and teachers." Daniel's lie fell naturally from his lips and I just went along with it. The grumpy old lady on the other hand didn't look convinced. " What are your names?" She asks and looks back into her computer. " My name is Lucinda Price and this is Daniel Grigori" I say and gesture towards Daniel. The lady looks up from her computer instantly. " Don't lie to me! Lucinda and Daniel died 18 years ago!" She looks very angry and her hand reaches for the phone that lies next to her. I start to panic, we didn't expect that, and why hadn't Daniel looked that up before we drove out here? I start to open my mouth to say something, an explanation perhaps, but Daniel beats me to it. " Wait!" he says " You're right, we're not Daniel Grigori and Lucinda Price. We're actually just Daniel's cousins. We didn't get to meet him before he and Lucinda died, but we know that he went to school here. You see, we are trying to figure out how Daniel was and we thought that the best of doing that was by talking to his old teachers and his friends. But we knew that the school wouldn't let us so we thought that if we acted as we were old students you would let us onto the campus. But it got horrible wrong and we are sorry. Could you please just give us an hour on campus so that we could ask some questions? I promise that we will go away after that" My jaw is about to drop, that was the best and the worst lie I have ever heard. It is actually so good that I start to hope that she will let us in. The lady looks very suspicious, but then she looks into Daniel's eyes and something changes. "I would recognize those violet eyes everywhere, you must indeed be his cousins" she says. " You have an hour, and don't you ever try something like that again!" she says as she push on a button that makes a glass door out towards the campus open. We don't waste any time as we quickly walks through the door and says thanks to the lady.
