Sorry for the long wait. Here's another chapter as an apology. Enjoy!
Mara was alone in Anubis house. Everyone had gone out. For once, she hated the idea of Face Book. She fell asleep.
*Mara was flying on a cloud. She felt the sun's warmth heating her and her snowy white cloud. Her pretty white dress matched the cloud, her raven black hair in a dark halo around her and a harp playing. She hummed the harp's song, knowing it all. A few doves surrounded her. The sky was blue and lit up with the warm, soothing sun.
A chime, like crystal on silver. A wind chime. It played a melody as if talking to her.
"Mara, Mara. Floating high. The wind blows you along and I hear you sigh. Mara, Mara. You like to float up so high. You're so happy, you won't ever cry."
"No, I won't. I enjoy it up here."
"Mara, Mara. You have a beautiful life. Mara, Mara. One day, you will be Fabian Rutter's wife."
"Whoa, what?!"
Her cloud stopped and so did the harp music.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa-ho-ho-no. No-no-no. I'm gonna be Jerome's wife if I'm gonna be anyone's."
"Is that so? Well. It looks to me like that'll be Joy Mercer."
"What? Joy's my friend, she'd never do that."
"Mara, Mara. Friend or no friend. She will put your friendship to an end."
"No she won't."
"She will, she will. Mara, Mara. This girl has had her fill. Mara, Mara. Your love, your life. You will be Fabian Rutter's wife."
Mara gasped. Was that really true? Could she do that to Nina?
"Nina? Oh, Mara, Mara. Nina will be with Mick. See, it wasn't so hard to pick. Jerome loves Joy, he's such a fickle boy. Alfred loves Willow, it's not hard to see, you know. Patricia loves Eddie and for marriage they are ready. Your love your life. To Fabian Rutter, you'll be a wife."
"Quit with the rhymes!"
"My rhyme happens naturally, Mara. It's wake up time, Mara. Wake up."
"NO! There's something else as well!"
"What may that question be, though you see, asking me is the answer to be."
"What will happen with Trudy? I need to know about Trudy."
"She will have a child this December. Tell her that, if you'll remember."
"But we're in May!"
"Oh, I forgot to say. It'll be born exactly seven months to this day."
"That's strange, is she already two months along?"
"Yes, the baby is two months old. It'll be born in seven months, ready for her to hold. Wake now, Mara."*
Mara opened her eyes and saw the empty room. She knew it was safe.
She typed her entire dream into her Face Book status.
It received a comment from Trudy.
Trudy C: Well, how did you know? We haven't told anyone yet. And the rhymes... They're fantastic, where did they come from?
Mara J: I don't know. The dream said I'd end up marrying Fabian, is it true?
Trudy C: I don't know. That's up to you and him. And of course, Jerome needs to know if you want Fabian now instead of him.
Mara J: That's just it. I don't know what I want. Do you think he'll ask me to someday?
Trudy C; Yes, I do actually.
Mara gasped at her screen in shock.
