Lady Snow
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Well of course I can talk!" the cat stated matter-of-factly. "My name is Snow."
"You have the same name as Ms. Snow," Ava said, still under shock.
"Yes, well, I should explain. Veronique, dear, please sit down," Snow said, looking at Veronique who was a ghostly shade of white.
"You're Ms. Snow, aren't you?" asked Maya, her voice barely louder then a whisper.
"I knew one of you would figure it out. You girls were always so smart. Yes, `Ms. Snow' is my name when I take human form, but when I am in my regular cat form, I only use `Snow'. I come from a planet called Mau. I'm here to help you learn about your past and get through all the things that are about to happen.
"What `things' and what do you mean you `come from the planet Mau'? You're just a cat! What in the hell are you talking about? Look, this is all too freakish for me! I'm leaving!" Veronique exclaimed.
"I agree with Veronique. We should leave. Maybe things will be clearer in the morning."
"You can go up to your rooms. I'm staying."
"Are you nuts?!? Damn it, Ava! You want to stay here and talk to a cat?! Gods know what she'll do to you!"
"I assure you, Veronique, I will not harm Ava."
Snow jumped in the air and did a pirouette. Out of thin air, a crystal appeared and started to float over the table. Snow fell back onto the table.
"I just want you girls to touch this crystal."
"Come, Ava, Veronique is right," Maya pleaded.
"No! I want to touch the crystal..." Ava said in a calm voice.
"But you don't know what that thing will do to you," Veronique told Ava.
"The crystal is safe, I assure you."
"I wasn't talking about the crystal," Veronique snapped.
"I'm staying, Veronique!"
"Fine, stay! I don't care what happens to you!"
With that, Veronique stormed out of the room. Maya walked towards the door, gave one last glance in Ava's direction, and left the room.
"I knew you would stay, Ava," Snow said, once both girls had left the room.
"The past you were talking about, it has something to do with my dream, doesn't it?"
"Yes, it does. That's why I knew you would stay. The dreams are part of the preparation I made for you girls."
"Preparation for what, exactly?"
"You know the answer to that..."
"Maya was right... The horrible things that I saw in my dream really happened, didn't they? That's what happened in our past lives?" Ava questioned.
"The only way to answer that is for you to touch the crystal..."
Ava reached out her hand towards the crystal. As soon as she came near it, it began to glow brighter. Ava jerked her hand back. Come on, girl, this is the only way you'll know for sure what your dream meant. Ava took a breath and placed her hand on the crystal. It started to glow more and suddenly there was a bright flash of blue light throughout the room. The light encircled Ava for a few moments and then disappeared, as did the crystal.
"Ava, how do you feel?" Snow asked, worried.
"I'm...I'm ok," Ava said, snapping out of a daze.
"Good. Now why don't you go up to bed? It's late and you need some sleep."
"Yes, but you said I would understand..."
"Just wait," Snow cut in. "Now, go to bed."
"Ok. Goodnight."
Ava walked out of the library. Now, I know Maya should come around soon, but what am I going to do with Veronique? At least it is good to see that she hasn't lost her temper. Snow jumped off of the library table and left the room.
**** Ava's room ****
Ava had just closed the thick, wooden door of her room, when somebody knocked. Ava reopened her door. She found Veronique standing in front of her in her pyjamas.
"I'm really sorry for what I said downstairs, Ava. It's just that it was too much for me to take in and I took out my anger on you. You know how I can get..."
"It's ok, Veronique. I understand."
They gave each other a quick hug and Veronique went to back to her room.
Ava pulled off the clothes that she had been wearing for more than 24 hours. She took out her dark blue tank top and matching boxer shorts from her suitcase. She threw her clothes in the corner of the room, put on her pjs, and slipped under the warm covers. As soon as her head touched the pillow, she fell into a deep sleep.
*** Ava's dream ***
Ava was walking down a marble-floored hallway. On each wall hung paintings of what looked like important people. She was wearing a long blue silk dress that had a low neck and a low back. She wore a silver pendant around her neck. She opened the tall doors at the end of the hall. Ava entered a huge dining room. The room had a long table in the middle and two glass chandeliers hung above it. The back wall was made of glass and you could see into a rose garden. A very glamorous woman was sitting at one end of the table.
"Sweetheart, you are finally awake!"
"I'm sorry, Mother. But with all my studies, duties, and training, I don't have much time left for sleep."
Ava pulled out a chair and slumped into it.
"No matter how tired you are, do not forget your manners."
"Sorry, Mother," Ava said, sitting up straight in her chair.
A servant came over to her and poured her a cup of tea. Another servant came and placed a plate filled with scramble eggs, bacon, and potatoes in front of her. Ava picked up her fork and started to nibble at her food.
"My poor child, you must be exhausted not to be able to eat your breakfast," Ava's mother said, looking at her daughter with a worried expression on her face. "I have an idea. Why don't you go to the hot springs? They will work wonders on you."
"What an excellent idea, Mother! But I have a very important meeting with the other girls...I'll go tomorrow then. Thank you!"
"You are welcome. Now eat up. I don't want you to pass out from starvation."
Ava ate her food and drank her cup of tea. She got up, gave her mother a kiss on the cheek, and went outside into the rose garden. She took a path that led to the tulip garden, her garden. She sat on the stone bench that was in the middle of the flowers. She took a deep breath and smelled the wonderful odour of tulips in full bloom. I feel so at peace here. I feel as though all my worries have been washed away. Ava lifted her grey eyes to the sky that was now rapidly darkening. Suddenly, she felt such a strong presence of evil that she almost threw up. She ran back into the palace.
"Guard, ring the alarm! We are under attack!" she screamed to the guard standing next to the door. He pressed the button beside him and a huge siren could be heard. Ava ran down a hall and entered a door on her right. Inside, the girls from Ava's previous dream were gathered.
"Did you feel it?" asked one of the girls. Like in her other dream, she could not make out their faces.
"Yes, I saw the sky darken and I knew immediately that they had arrived. Have any of you seen my mother?"
"Yes, she is safe. She is organizing everything within the castle. But the imperial guard hasn't arrived yet." said one girl.
"Until then, it is up to us to stop it," said the figure with black hair.
"Then we know what we must do!" Ava told them.
*** Meanwhile, in Maya's room ***
Maya was also dreaming. She was tossing and turning in her bed. You could see her eyes moving frantically underneath her eyelids. "No, we have to help!" she said in her dream. Just then, her eyes flew open and she sat up on her bed. Maya looked very disoriented. Her deep green eyes scanned the room. She was breathing very heavily. Calm down, Maya. It was only a dream. You're safe. The dream wasn't real. Maya got out of her bed and entered her bathroom. She turned on the lights, but quickly turned them right off. Argh! Too bright! She turned on the water, splashed it on her face, and went back to bed. She lay there, staring at the ceiling. That felt so real! Like it had really happened. Now I know how Ava must have felt when she had her dream. Hey! Come to think of it, my dream seemed to be a lot like Ava's. I wonder...I should talk to her about it in the morning. Maya closed her eyes and fell back to sleep.
To be continued...
