" Evy?" Rick said as he started at his wife, brow furrowed.
Evelyn Carnahan O'Connell fiddled with the golden locket dangling from her neck as she started off in a daze. She was immediatly brought back to reality when she heard her husband's voice ring out to her.
" Hm?"
" There you are. You went off in one of those dazes again Evy," Rick said with concern in his voice. Lately Evy had been going off into another world it seemed completly shut out from the world around her. Rick of course, grew concerned the first time it happened since the last time she started having visions, as Evy called it, they found out that Evy was the reincarnated Princess Nefertiti and Rick was a warrior of God.
" I did? Oh, I'm sorry. It's the same vision over and over again. It's as if I'm reliving parts of my childhood," Evy stated as she remised over the recent vision.
" Dreams I don't mind, visions make me a tad bit nervous. Are you sure you're alright?"
" I'm fine . . . Yes, I'm fine," Evy said softly as if to reassure herself that was truly fine. She sighed softly, then her eyes locked with his, seeing his concern she said, " I'm fine darling. Perfectly fine."
" As long as you say your fine, I'm fine too, " Rick said placing his strong slightly calused hand due to recent gun handling ontop of her smooth silky hand and rubbed it softly. Meanwhile Alex O'Connell sat there drumbing his fingers atop the oak table. His parents always did this. Whenever something was wrong his dad would go horeic and concerned like while his mother tried to sort everything out. Then, when everything was alright they would go all lovey-dovey on him.
Rick, seeing his son's dislike on the subject his took his free hand and ruffled Alex's hair. Alex couldn't help but chuckle at his father's actions as he batted his hair back in it's proper position.
" Why don't you head up to bed Alex," Evy commented as she stood up from her seat at the table.
" Aww mum, can't I stay up just a little longer?"
" Not buts mister, up to bed with you." Alex then slid off his chair and shuffled towards the door pouting over his defeat. Rick watched as Alex left a big grin set across his face as he turned to Evy and said in a matter of factly tone,
" About time you went to bed too missy." She laughed softly and gave Rick a playfull hit on the shoulder as she passed him by and walked to the main staircase. Before following after Evy he rubbed the spot on his shoulder where she hit, mostly for affect, then followed after her.

It's said that the only way to unlock the amulet is that the true owner must slay it's own blood and smear it against the amulet and the anicent writing will then appear....
" What does the writing say daddy?" The young Evelyn Carnahan questioned as she sat upon her farther's lap.
" Well, my sweet girl it's a mystery. No one has ever been able to find the true owner and in not finding that certin person no person as been able to see the anicent hieroglyphics."
" Are you the true owner daddy?"
" If I was sweet, I would have told you by now." At that moment a tall, slender, shapely women, olive skined, and dark long flowing hair that cascaded down past her shoulders walked in.
" Come Evelyn, it's time to go to sleep," the women said walking over to the two. The women was Evelyn's mother, Mariana Carnahan.
" But mum--- dad was just getting to the part about being the true owner," Evelyn said as she watched her mother hazel brown eyes huge as if to beg to stay up longer.
" Telling that story again, are we? Well, my little desert flower are you the true owner?" Mariana asked pressing a slender finger against Evelyn's nose playfully.
" I don't think so. Are you?"
" Perhaps if you go to sleep you'll find the answer," Mariana suggested taking Evelyn by the hand and leading her out to the main hallway.
" Blow a kiss for daddy." At that command Evelyn placed her small delicate, soft, silken hand to her lips kissing her hand gently then placed her hand palm facing up, and blew gently followed by a soft giggle.
