Chapter 10

Chloe's POV

MORNING. WEEKDAY.

Thinking back to last night made my morning so much better. I finally knew for sure that my feelings for Alek were real. I love Alek and I want to be with him until all eight deaths do us part. I will never take the necklace off. It was beautiful. It reminded of the necklace Rose wore on the Titanic.

As I walked into the kitchen, I found my mom eating breakfast.

Chloe: "Good morning, mom?" She had drifted off.

Meredith: "Hi honey. Sorry about that I was just thinking. . real hard."

Chloe: "About Frank?"

Meredith: "About everything."

Chloe: "Mom you know you can tell me anything, so whenever you're ready I'm here."

Meredith: "Thanks, you should get going."

I kissed her on the cheek and left. I felt bad for my mom. I couldn't imagine what she was going through. The whole Frank situation and Vanessa. I feel like it was my fault and I want to make it up to her. She should date someone new! But who? I pulled into the school and parked. I was excited about helping my mom. I grabbed my things and went to class.

HISTORY CLASS.

I was drifting off to sleep until the teacher started talking about an Egyptian cat goddess.

Mr. Harnett: " Bastet or Bast, she had several names. Now, we all have different beliefs and religions, well the Egyptians had many gods and goddesses that they would pray to. In fact they had they had good for everything. Some people even believe that these gods and goddesses have human descendants on this earth. And some may still roam among us. Ooh cool, isn't it?

I couldn't help but think about this cat goddess. I had to know more. I raised my hand.

Mr. Harnett: "Yes, Chloe?"

Chloe: "This cat goddess, Bast? What did she look like?"

Mr. Harnett: "She was nothing like you would expect. She was a women with the head of a cat. But not just any cat, she was beautiful and majestic."

Tyler: "So you've seen her?" Tyler joked.

Tyler was the class clown who always had something dumb to say.

Mr. Harnett: "No I haven't but the boo-"

Chloe: "These descendants? Did they inherit special abilities from Bast?" I cut him off.

Mr. Harnett: "Why yes they do. You seem really interested in all thi-" the bell to end class cut him off. "Homework! Read chapter 19, I will quiz you!" He yelled over the bell.

As I finished putting my things away and walked towards the door Mr. Harnett stopped me.

Mr. Harnett: " Chloe? I have this book on Egyptian gods and goddesses. I think it would interest you a lot." He handed me the book from his drawer.

Chloe: "Thanks Mr. Harnett."

Mr. Harnett: "Have you researched the topic before?"

Chloe: "Umm, no but I will. I gotta get to class." I lied, I had lunch first but I just didn't want him to suspect anything. I have a feeling that Mr. Harnett knows about Mai. I looked at the book cover, the title read: The Orchard of Egyptian Gods and Pharaohs. I walked to my locker to put the book away and found Alek waiting for me.

Alek: "There you are! I was starting to get worried."

Chloe: "Mr. Harnett gave me this book." I showed him the book.

Alek: "Egyptian gods? Since when are you interested in history?" He gave his back to me and started to walk away, "C'mon I'm starving."

Chloe: "Just let me put it in my locker." I put the book away and walked to him. "You know we're descendants of an Egyptian goddess."

Alek: "Does the book say that?" He seemed uninterested.

Chloe: "No Mr. Harnett, he was saying that these gods have human descendants and I think we might be descendants of the cat goddess Bast."

Alek: "We should look into it, now c'mon."

I didn't know why he was being so strange but I didn't say anything else on the subject. We went to lunch with the others.

After school Alek took me home. I then go ready for my night shift. I wasn't in the mood for anything. I was confused and I just wanted to stay home and read the book Mr. Harnett gave me. I never really thought about the history of Mai. But now I want to know everything. All right, off to work.
