Chapter 6: Resolutions
The next morning, Jasmine was lost in her thoughts. The man in her dreams was Ardeth Bay. But it didn't make any sense to Jasmine. Why would she dream about Ardeth Bay? The little girl looked like her, but it couldn't be.
Jasmine sighed as she tried to eat her breakfast.
"Is something wrong?" Ardeth asked
Jasmine snapped out of her thoughts and went back to reality.
"What?" She asked
Ardeth smiled.
"Is everything alright?" He asked
"Yeah, everything's just fine." Jasmine lied
"Alex."
Alex turned around to Jasmine. It was after breakfast and Alex was outside.
"What is it?" Alex asked
"I saw who the man in my dreams was." Jasmine said
"Who is it?"
"Ardeth."
Alex looked at Jasmine.
"Are you sure?" Alex asked
"Positive." Jasmine said
"We really have to tell mom about this."
Evy, Rick and Ardeth were in the hotel lounge, talking when Alex and Jasmine came in.
"Mom, can we talk to you? It's kind of important." Alex said
"We need to talk to you guys as well." Rick said
"I went to the museum earlier and it turns out that we have a real problem on our heels." Evy said
"What kind of a problem?" Jasmine asked
"Well, the necklace I took from the pyramid, turns out to be the same necklace the undead king used in his plans to take over the world and if the prophecy is right, he will awake when the time is right and take both the medallion and the book that he used. We think that the collapsing of the tomb might not only have something to do with the booby-trap Jonathan stepped on." Evy said
"What do we have to do?" Alex asked
"If the prophecy is true the king will wake up. We'll have to try and do anything we can to stop him." Ardeth said
"So it's back to the whole saving the world process again." Rick said
"Looks like it." Alex said
"And I thought this was going to be a good trip." Jonathan said
It was a while later and Jasmine was sitting on the staircase outside the hotel thinking. Those dreams that she had been having didn't really make any sense to her. Why was Ardeth in her dreams and who was that little girl?
Jasmine sighed.
"Jasmine." A voice behind her said
Jasmine turned around. It was Ardeth.
"Evelyn is looking for you." Ardeth said
"Where is she?" Jasmine asked
"She's at the museum but she'll be back in a few minutes."
"Oh, I guess I'd better go then."
Jasmine stood up and was just about to walk back into the hotel.
"Actually Jasmine, I wanted to talk to you." Ardeth said
Jasmine turned to Ardeth.
"About what?" She asked
"First I think you better sit down." Ardeth said
Jasmine sat down, wondering what this was all about.
Ardeth sat down next to her. He decided that if he was going to tell her, this would be the perfect moment.
"Well, I don't really know where to begin and this might sound a bit weird." Ardeth began
"Ok." Jasmine said, slightly
"Have you been having any strange dreams lately?"
Jasmine paused for a while.
"Yes, I have." She said
Ardeth thought for a moment, he didn't want to sound too straight forward.
"I know about the dreams, Evelyn told me about them and there is one explanation to those dreams." Ardeth said
"Which is what?" Jasmine asked
"I have been having similar dreams and what I am about to tell you might not sound very believable."
Jasmine was beginning to worry. What was it that Ardeth had to say to her? She assumed it was very important.
"You see, years ago, I had a daughter. She was the best daughter you could ever have but I wasn't really the father she could have had. I was always away and one day, I had to go on a mission, I had promised her I would be back, that I would not be gone long. I stayed longer than I had said I would and by the time I came back, my daughter was gone." Ardeth said
"What happened to her?" Jasmine asked
"She disappeared."
"What does this have to do with me?"
Ardeth sighed once again. This was the part he was most afraid of telling Jasmine.
"Every night, I would pray and hope that she would come back to me but she never did. When I first saw you, the first thing I thought was that you look so much like my daughter and that night you woke up from your dreams I sang a lullaby, the same one I used to sing to my daughter every night. She would always fall asleep to that song." Ardeth said and paused for a bit
Jasmine was beginning to realize what this was leading to, but it couldn't be what she was thinking about. That lullaby had sounded familiar, and Jasmine had fallen asleep instantly.
Ardeth softly began to sing it. Thoughts were whirling in Jasmine's mind. Thoughts she didn't know what to do with. She listened to the song and the looked at Ardeth.
"Oh god...." Jasmine said, when she finally realized what Ardeth meant
"I know this is a shock and I know it's hard to understand." Ardeth said
Jasmine felt she needed to have some time on her own.
"Excuse me for a moment." Jasmine said and walked into the hotel
It was a while later and Jasmine was still in her room, trying to make sense of what had just happened. Just then the door knocked and Evy came in.
"Hey." Evy said
"Hi." Jasmine replied
Evy walked over to Jasmine and sat down next to her.
"Do you want to talk?" Evy asked
"What's there to talk about? I mean I sort of blew it out there by walking away." Jasmine said
"No one can really blame. It isn't every day you find out you're the daughter of a medjai. One of the most well respected medjai I might add."
"It just doesn't make any sense."
"If you think about it Jasmine, it actually does. You somehow get sent back in time, both you and Ardeth have strange but very similar dreams, and now he tells you this."
Jasmine sighed.
"So how do I go back out there without making a total fool of myself, which I by the way already have done?" She asked
"Just go out there. Everything will be fine." Evy said
Jasmine stood up and began walking towards the door.
"Aren't you coming?" She asked Evy
"I'll be there in a minute." Evy said
Jasmine was just about to open the door, when suddenly the ground started shaking.
"Evy what's going on?" Jasmine asked
"It's an earthquake." Evy saidEnd of Chapter 6: I know it took time but here it is. What do you think?
