Pinkranger888- XD Sometimes the most obvious things are the things we miss completely. In my mom's case that applies to Christmas presents sitting in plain sight and I have to point it out to her. : P Yep, very weird dream and they are only going to get weirder. I'm glad you enjoy the parts between the two of them, I enjoy writing them. XD

err... who am i?-You think this is creepy, then for you it will probably just get worse. This is the first of many nightmares and strange things happening to her in this story. Yep, lots of trouble on the way. Ha-ha! That she does. XD

Little Miss Bump- XD I'm glad you liked it. That it was and they are only going to get weirder. Oh, the Hood has no part in these dreams but he will be showing up later. Yes, your first guess is correct and the family will find out about those dreams very soon. Dang! You know exactly what to say to make me blush! Then again, I always blush at complements. : P

lissysue85- I'm glad that you enjoyed that part. Thank you and I plan on it. XD

foxee-chik- I'm glad you like it and that you look forward to seeing what I have planned to happen next. XD

Chapter Four-What's Happening to Me?
August 23rd, 2024

From beneath the golden mask she wore to protect her face, Henuttawy smiled. In her hands was a golden pair of sai, one extended in front of her while the other was raised above her head, though both of the blades faced her opponent. Her opponent stood in a similar position and her own golden mask hide the face of Henuttawy's younger sister Beketmut.

On the stairs leading up to the throne where Ramesses the Great and Nefertari, sat the rest of their siblings along with those of higher social status and of course the Medjai, the Pharaoh's bodyguards. Included in this small crowd was Rekhimre, Yuja, and Meritaten. Up where he sat on his throne, Ramesses clapped.

The clang of metal on metal was heard throughout the room as Beketmut started towards her elder sister, who quickly blocked the oncoming blades and pushed her sister back before starting her own advance. Beketmut stumbled back a few feet and then spun around and blocked the blades before attacking once more, forcing Henuttawy to move back several feet to avoid the blades. She then attacked her sister only for the younger girl to duck beneath the blades and going after Henuttawy's feet. Henuttawy jumped up and back a few feet and her hands with to her sides, muscles tense as they began to circle around each other.

"You are getting slow Henuttawy," Beketmut teased as the girls circled each other, spinning the blades in her hands as she did so. "Do you need to sit down a rest for a moment?"

"I am not a cripple Beketmut," Henuttawy replied. "Besides, sitting around all day is your job, not mine."

Beketmut let out a growl beneath her mask and charged at her sister, aiming her blades at her stomach and feet. Henuttawy jumped up and pushed herself up and over her running sister, using her shoulders to push herself higher into the air. Beketmut landed face first on the floor as Henuttawy landed on her feet in a crouch. She hurriedly stood and just as Beketmut rolled over and began to push herself up, she found one of her sister's blades against her neck.

"That is what you get when you call me old," Henuttawy stated, using her free hand to pull up her mask and show the smirk that was currently on her face to Beketmut. The younger girl glared up at her sister as their father stood up off his throne, soon followed by their mother.

Evelyn woke up with a gasp and stared up at the ceiling of her bedroom, panting as if she had actually been sparing like she had in the dream. Though she was glad that she hadn't woken up screaming like she had been doing every night since the first dream. The dream she had had a week before had repeated every night after, until now that is.

She pushed herself up into a sitting position, her breathing beginning to slow down and return to normal. Wiping the sweat off her forehead with her hand, Evelyn looked towards her clock and let out a groan. It was three in the morning. The lack of sleep from the dreams was beginning to wear her down and she was starting to get dark circles under her eyes. Then again, so was her family since her screaming would wake them up and they would come running to see what was wrong.

Well, all of them besides John, since he had returned up to Thunderbird Five a few days after the twins birthday. But for the first time in over a week, she had not woken them up with her screaming and she was hoping to keep it that way. The last thing she wanted was for someone to call them for help and one of them got hurt due to lack of sleep.

Evelyn pushed off her sheets and climbed out of bed, positive she wasn't going to be able to fall back to sleep anytime soon. Nefertiti meowed where she lay at the end out the bed as she watched her owner walk to the bedroom door and step out into the hallway. Evelyn then headed towards the staircase, hoping maybe a mug of hot chocolate would calm her down and help her sleep.

When she reached the kitchen a few minutes later, Evelyn opened the cabinet and pulled out her favorite light blue mug before pulling out a spoon and a package of instant hot chocolate. She tore open the package and dumped the contents into the mug before going to the sink and turning on the separate hot water tap that had been installed and letting some of the steaming hot water fill up the mug.

Turning off the water and setting the mug on the counter, she picked up the spoon. Hearing soft footsteps coming up behind her, her muscles tensed as she stared down at the mug and clenched the spoon tightly in her hand. Around her, the kitchen disappeared and was instead replaced with the throne room in Egypt and the spoon in her hand was a sai. When she sensed that the person was behind her, she spun around and held the spoon to the throat of the person behind her as she had with the sais in her dream. Scott's eyes were wide at her reaction and at the sudden feeling of the spoon against his throat.

The determined expression disappeared from Evelyn's face as the throne room disappeared from around her and she looked up at her older brother. Realization at what she had just happened hit her and she backed up against the counter, letting the spoon fall from her hand. Leaning back against the counter, she put her hands to her mouth as she stared into the air before her with wide eyes. "Oh God. What happening to me?"

Scott moved forward and pulled her into a tight hug. She was reluctant to return it at first but after a few moments she removed her hands from her mouth and wrapped them tightly around her eldest brother as she buried her face in his chest. No tears were shed. Scott just stood there with his arms tightly around Evelyn as she tried to get a handle on her out of control emotions.

"I'm so sorry," she muttered into his shirt, her eyes shut and her breathing quick and shallow. "What's happening to me?"

Unlike the first time she had asked the question, this time Scott answered as he soothingly rubbed circles on his younger sisters back. "I don't know Evie. But we'll figure it out together."

Unwrapping one arm from around her, Scott reached over and grabbed the mug off the counter. Using his other arm, he urged his sister out of the kitchen and into the living room and had her sit down on one of the couches. He then handed her the mug and sat down beside her as she stirred the contents with her finger. Scott wrapped an arm around her shoulders and asked, "You had another dream didn't you?"

Evelyn nodded in reply before taking a sip of the warm drink. She then put the mug in her lap and leaned against his side. Scott rubbed her shoulder with his hand and looked down at her as she simply stared ahead. "I'm guessing it was different this time, since you didn't scream."

"Yeah," she replied quietly and then took another sip of chocolate. "I was Henuttawy again and this time I was sparing with her younger sister Beketmut in the throne room. I actually saw Ramesses and Nefertari this time."

"Sparing with what?" Scott asked, looking down at her in curiosity. Evelyn just continued to stare straight ahead. "Evelyn?"

"Sai," she replied, her stare moving from the air in front of her to the mug she held in her hands. "When I was in the kitchen and heard your footsteps, I thought I was dreaming again because I didn't see the kitchen and what I held in my hand was not a spoon."

"Maybe going to Egypt will help you figure out what's happening," he stated slowly after a few moments of silence, hoping that was indeed the case and would help his sister return to normal. He tightened his arm around her shoulders. "But I know that whatever happens, we'll all be here to help you figure this out."

"Thanks Scotty," she replied, looking towards him for the first time since the incident in the kitchen. After taking another sip of the now lukewarm hot chocolate and feeling somewhat normal once more, she asked, "What were you doing up anyway?"

"Since last week," he began. "I've been checking on you about an hour after every dream. And since you didn't scream tonight, I woke up and wondered why you hadn't screamed yet."

"Pretty sad that you've started to wonder that," she replied, tracing her finger around the edge of the mug. After a few moments she looked up at him with a small smile. "But it's really sweet that you keep checking up on me."

He smiled down at her and squeezed her shoulder. "I haven't been the only one checking up of you. Dad caught me up a few nights ago."

"And right now."

Scott and Evelyn turned their heads around to see their father step off the staircase and walk towards them. Both of them smiled as Jeff walked around the couch and sat down beside Evelyn. Scott removed his arm from Evelyn's shoulders only for Jeff's to replace it a few seconds later. Scott and Evelyn looked towards Jeff who smiled sadly at his daughter. "Again?"

Evelyn nodded in reply. Scott looked between the two of them before asking Evelyn, "Are you done with that Evie?"

Evelyn looked down at the little hot chocolate, well cold now that remained at the bottom of the mug. She then looked at Scott and nodded. "It would seem so."

"Then I'll take this to the kitchen for you," he replied, taking the mug from her hands before standing up from the couch. "Night dad, Evie."

"Thanks Scott," Evelyn responded as he left the room. She then sighed and leaned up against her father, resting her head on his shoulder.

"What happened in the dream tonight?" Jeff asked, glancing up from Evelyn beside him to see Scott climbing up the stairs towards the second floor. He saw Scott glance back at them and gave his eldest son a grateful smile before he disappeared up the stairs. He then looked back down at his daughter as she explained what had happened in the dream and then told him what had happened in the kitchen when Scott had surprised her.

"We will do everything we can to help you figure this out," Jeff commented, breaking the few moments of silence that had followed Evelyn's explanation of what had happened. Her head still rested on his shoulder as she looked up at him. "And I agree with Scott. Maybe going to Egypt will help."

"Maybe," Evelyn replied softly. She then looked away from her father and muttered under her breath, "Or make things worse."

"Everything's going to be fine Evie," Jeff assured her when he had heard what she said under her breath. He wrapped his other arm around her and pulled her into a hug. Her arms went around him tightly and she buried her face in his shoulder.

"I think I'm starting to go insane," she whispered into his shirt. Jeff's eyes widened for a moment before his expression became determined. He then pushed her away to look at her, his arms holding her in place. When her face was removed from its hiding place, she looked away from her father. Jeff removed one of his hands from its place on her arm and tilted her chin up, forcing her to look at him.

"You are not going insane Evelyn. Something strange is happening, that's all," he stated firmly, continuing to hold her chin as he looked at her."We will figure out what's happening, I promise you that."
