On the morning that we had to go to Cairo, I got up extra early. I couldn't go to sleep last night because I was thinking of the questions I wanted to be answered. I got dressed and looked at myself in the mirror. I saw the man behind me; I turned suddenly with the Sai daggers in my hand. I looked around the room and saw almost everything was in gold and then I had again noticed the man. It was the same man from my dream, but this time he was real! I put the daggers up to my face and crossed them. Then he bowed at my feet to show his respect. When I realized he was safe to be around, I turned around and put my daggers on the dresser. When I turned back around he put his hands on my shoulders and looked deep into my eyes. I looked into his deep, dark brown eyes and then before I knew it I leaned in and kissed him. Then from out my balcony I heard a horrific cry. A woman was calling to help her father, or the pharaoh. That's when I got a weird mixture of concern and caring feelings. He was my father, too. I ran out onto the balcony and screamed in horror as his shadow behind the curtains, across the palace, was slaughtered by a woman and a man. I began to cry as his body fell to the ground. The man who was in love with me turned me away and brought me into his arms. I could feel the passion he had for me. When I was in his arms I felt safe and secure. All of a sudden I was in a street as my normal self. This car was slowly passing me when I realized that was my aunt Cleo and my uncle Kameron in their car. I waved at them but they didn't see me. Then there was a screech of tires as a speeding car came around the corner and without paying attention, hit Cleo and Kameron's car head-on.
I woke up from the horrible dreams, with a gasp.I looked at the clock and it said 6:00 a.m. I went ahead and got up early and got dressed. I cautiously walked up to my mirror to make sure the man wasn't there, and he wasn't. I began brushing my long, straight black hair, when I heard a screeching noise that some how sounded too familiar. It was the same screech from my car dream! I ran to look at my window and just as I got to it I saw the head- on collision with my aunt and uncle. I ran downstairs and out the door. I jumped out into the street and looked in my aunt and uncles car. They were both dead. I ran over to the other two people in the car. They were both drunk and laughing their heads off. They both got out of the car without scratches or bruises. Then they began to laugh at my aunt and uncle. They were too drunk to understand what they have done to my life.
Alexa: Look at what you have done! You have killed my aunt and uncle! What's your names?
Guy1: Adam.
Guy2: Jackey.
Alexa: Are you not even going to apologize for killing my parents!
Adam: I thought you said that they were your aunt and uncle?
Alexa: Wow! You paid attention! Now pay attention to me again! They were my aunt and uncle, but had full custody of me because my real parents died. So Now I Have No Parents!
Jackey: Hey, you're hot.
Alexa: Do You Not Even Care!
Just then a few police cars showed up. The policemen jumped out of the car and ran to Cleo and Kameron, then they realized they were dead. They walked over to where I was.
Policeman1: Ma'am what happened here?
Alexa: These drunken idiots killed my aunt and uncle!
Policeman2: Just calm down Miss.
Alexa: Calm down! Calm Down! My Aunt and Uncle are Dead Because Of Them!
I stayed and talked to the policemen until it was about 8:00 a.m. in the morning. Then I realized that I needed to get to the airport. Another policeman named Jeremiah drove me to the airport, since I didn't have a way of getting there. He dropped me off and said that everything was going to be alright. That those kids were going to get seriously punished and that he would make sure of it. I said my thank you's and walked off in dismay. Without even noticing I was on the plane, on my way to find out more about myself. I sat on the plane for more than a day and a half just pushing questions back and forth through my mind. How in the world did I know that they were going to die? Why did in my dream everything seemed to come to life, as if I was really that Egyptian princess? Were these dreams really memories of my past life or am I just going psychotic? Who was the ma-jai and what business exactly did he have with the princess.
Woman: Excuse me Miss, but we're here at your stop.
Alexa: (yawn) Where?
Woman: In Cairo, this is your stop, right?
Alexa: Oh, yes it is. Thank you.
I stood up slowly and walked down the aisle of the plane. I felt eyes burning in my back as I got off the plane. I walked down the ladder and walked into the busy road of people. There were markets as far as the eyes could see. I reached into my pocket and took out a piece of paper which said:
In Cairo, you shall find your answers
My aunt Cleo must have put that in my pocket so I wouldn't forget. Then in little print at the bottom of the paper it said:
Look for the Museum of Antiquities.
I love you, good luck on finding the answers you seek.
Cleo
I went around looking for this museum for hours when I finally came across it on the main road in Cairo. I walked inside half blinded for my eyes were used to being outside. As my eyesight became clearer, there were sarcophaguses everywhere. I looked in one of them and realized that I was looking at a 3,000 year old mummy. I walked through the museum and came to a library.
Alexa: Hello? Is anyone here?
Woman: Ohh! Ahh!
I ran to the direction of her scream and came to a book aisle where there was a woman balancing on a ladder in the middle of the aisle.
Alexa: Oh my goodness . . .
Woman: Help.
I began to run towards her, but then she lost balance and fell on the book shelf. The book shelves fell like dominoes all the way around the library. After the mess was down she got up and looked at me.
Woman: Oops.
