Chapter 2~~~~ Meet Evelyn Carnahan
16-Year-old, Evelyn Carnahan walked around aimlessly in the garden of her London home. The Garden seemed like one of the only places she could clear her mind. Her seventeenth birthday was but a few days away and her family was taking her to Egypt. She loved Egypt. More than most everything else. Why was she dreading it so much then? Lately Evy, as her brother Jonathan would call her, had been having these…dreams. Odd ones about her parents and planes. Sometimes it would be just planes and fire replaying over and over and sometimes it would be her parents walking away from her as she screamed after them. In every scene it showed some symbol of Egypt. Whether it is a pyramid or a pharaoh and for some reason a bald guy, She would always wake up I a cold sweat and out of breath.
She didn't dare tell anyone about this. She figured she was probably just nervous about turning seventeen. Whatever it was it was scaring her. What scared her more is she also keeps seeing this guy. Not a bad looking guy. But still a guy. He would hug her and hold her tight. Then he was gone. He was only there for about a second. He looked rough and built. Like he had worked his entire life. What's more is he looked and sounded…American!
"That's Ridiculous! I would never be with an beastly American!" she said aloud to herself. She always talked to herself. A habit she created when she was younger.
Maybe tonight she would be able to get her mind off of those bloody dreams. Her friends invited her to a party. Parties were definitely not her biggest things but Grant Richards was going to be there. Not only does she have the biggest crush on him but rumor has it that he has somewhat of a 'thing' for her too!
Evelyn sighed in exasperation. She was losing it over a boy! She isn't being practical. Evy made her way through the intricate garden. Back up to the patio stairs that took her to the French doors. As she turned the knob she could here her brothers music playing in the parlor. She smiled to herself as she walked into the parlor to see Jonathan dancing around like the buffoon she knew and loved.
"Hello my baby sister! Come join me" Jonathan said as he formally extended his hand out to her. She smiled and rolled her eyes. Jon bowed curtly as she accepted his hand. He twirled her around and started the Waltz. Evelyn giggled as Jonathan stumbled a little. "Smooth one Jonathan. Where are our darling parents?" She said with sarcasm. Lately her parents have been having trouble keeping her in line. "Um…I do believe that they went to the market to get last minute items for our trip. You ok Ole' mum? You look troubled." They stopped their dancing and sat down on the couch.
Though Jonathan was a sweetheart he did have that brotherly teasing side so she wasn't going to tell him about her dreams because he would just say she is being ridiculous and paranoid. Evelyn sighed. "Oh I am fine, just a little worn down from my walk. I am going to go lay down for a minute." He nodded as she rose to her feet and headed towards the stairs. She realized if she was going to get but tonight to go to Jamie's house. It's not like I am going to a huge party, just a couple of friends and a really sweet guy. That's it, Evelyn thought to herself. She opened her door and walked to her bed. When she went to lie down that American face flashed through her mind. This time it was standing over her crying. It was so real it scared her and she yelped.
Soon the surprised look on her face changed to frustration and she threw a stuffed bear that was on her bead against the wall, which made a light thump against the hard surface. Why did she have to be so weird! As a few small crystal tears zigzagged their way over her flushed cheeks. Was she going crazy? She cried herself to sleep.
When she woke it was about 8 o'clock. And there was a tray of food next to her bed, which she assumed was Jonathan who brought it to her. Figuring she was ill. Evelyn quietly got dressed and dumped the contents of the plate over the balcony on the lawn so it looked like she ate. She then sat the tray outside in the hall and silently locked her door. Just in case her parents got curious as to why she went to bed so early she stuffed the pillows under her covers and lowered the lights slightly so it look dimmed. Maybe they would just let me be. She thought. They had a key to her room and could easily get into her room but most likely would not invade her privacy. Well, she hop[ed they wouldn't at least
After Evy was satisfied with her appearance, she very gently and slowly proceeded to climb down the balcony. Being very careful as to not rip her hose on the railings and also not to fall off and wake everyone within a 10-mile radius with her screams. As her feet touched the ground The porch light flashed on.
