The next day October felt better then she did last night and she completely forgot about her nightmare. When she finally fell back asleep she only dreamed of Ahkmenrah.

October headed out to the kitchen, but before she got too far she bumped into Rebecca.

"Hey, I was just coming to make sure you were still alive."

"Huh?" October was confused. Why wouldn't she be alive?

"It's almost one in the afternoon. I checked on you earlier and you were still breathing."

"Oh. Well, I had a nightmare that woke me up and I couldn't get back to sleep after that."

"Larry and I are going to get some lunch. Did you want to come?"

"Sure, just let me change first."

October went back in her room and changed into the first thing she pulled out of her drawer. She was too lazy to actually look to see what she wanted to wear for the day. After that she put her hair up in a pony tail then the three of them were off. They decided to have Burger King for lunch.

As Rebecca and Larry were ordering October went and saved a booth for them.

"So I do get to see you again after all."

October looked up and saw Zack. "What are you doing here?" That was a stupid question.

"Getting lunch and I'm guessing you're doing the same. Would you mind if I join you?"

"Actually I'm here with my sister and her boyfriend."

"Where's your boyfriend? Don't you feel like the third wheel?"

"Um, he's working right now. Her boyfriend is cool to hang out with."

"Hey October, who's this?" Rebecca asked as she and Larry sat at the table.

"This is Zack. I met him yesterday."

"After I saved you."

"You didn't tell me that." Rebecca said as she looked at her sister.

"She didn't?"

October didn't know how it happened, but Zack sat next to her and started explaining how he stopped Trent from abusing October any more then he already had. After they ate they all said good-bye and went their separate ways.

"He seems nice." Rebecca said.

"And I think he likes you." Larry said to October. "He couldn't stop staring at you."

"Well, that's too bad for him because I already have a man in my life."

Rebecca was going to say something, but she stopped herself. She told October that she was going to support her in her decision to be with Ahkmenrah and that's what she'll try to do. She just thinks that October will be happier with someone who can also walk around during the day. October may not want that now, but in awhile Rebecca was sure October would start wishing Ahkmenrah could be with all the time.

October was in her room looking through some college brochures she got. She had to start figuring out what she was going to do. Lately she had been questioning whether she still wanted to pursue her dream as an Egyptologist. It's what she has wanted since she was young, but now she wasn't so sure. She still loved Egypt, but something was holding her back.

October decided it was time for her to get a job. She thought that if she was going to be here awhile she might as well get a job so she'll have money. She went to the kitchen and took this morning's news paper into her room and started looking for a job.

She scanned the want ads, but nothing caught her eye. She wasn't best at cooking. No way can she get a job as a bartender. She wasn't going to be a cocktail waitress. With her temper she'd probably yell at the first guy who hit on her then get fired. She was about to give up when a job finally got her attention. That was the perfect job for her. October put her shoes on, grabbed her purse and headed out as she told Rebecca she'd be back.

On her way October couldn't stop thinking how fun it would be to work there. Sure she couldn't talk to any of the exhibits, but this way she could also be around Ahkmenrah during the day…in a way. Yeah working at the museum would be good for her.

October arrived at the museum and told the person at the desk that she wanted to apply for the job. He gave her an application and she sat on one of the benches to fill it out. Once she was done she handed it back to him. Now all she had to do was wait for a call for an interview.

Before she left the museum she went to Ahkmenrah's tomb. She thought she might as well say hi since she was there even though he can't hear her. When she got there she saw no one else was in the room. That would make talking to him easier. She didn't want people looking at her like she was a nut case.

"Hey Ahkmenrah, I just stopped by to say hi." October said as she walked up to the sarcophagus. "I've been thinking about what to do with my life ever since I was kicked out of my school. I still want to be an Egyptologist, but I don't…I don't want to leave you. I finally realized what was holding me back. I love you more then anything and I can't imagine my life without you. I can't stand being away from you. Maybe I'm just being selfish. I don't know." October heard footsteps approaching. "I'll see you tonight." Then she left.

The rest of the day October continued looking at college brochures and seeing which ones was better. There were a couple of schools that had Egyptology classes so she was thinking of attending one of those. Then another thing crossed her mind. Would they have her records from her old school? Would they find out she started fights and won't accept her. She was so mad at herself that she might have ruined her life.

That night October, Rebecca, Larry and Nick all went to the museum. October didn't tell them she applied for a job there. She would wait to see if she actually got the job.

October headed over to Ahkmenrah's tomb and saw him walking out of his tomb. She smiled at him.

"Hey Ahkmenrah."

He smiled back. "Hello October. I want to talk to you about something."

"Ok what is it?"

"If I am holding you back from something I'm sorry. You should live your life and do what makes you happy. I don't think you're being selfish. I'll understand and support you in whatever you choose."

October looked at him with confusion. "How did you…did you hear me?"

"Yes. Even though I'm not awake during the day I can still hear what people say. I love you more then anything and I don't want you to leave, but you shouldn't stop your life just because of me."

October hugged him. "I don't want to leave. I want to stay here with you."

"Don't you want to go and live your life?"

"I can live my life right here."

"If that's what you want. I just don't want to be holding you back from anything."

"I don't know exactly what I want in my life, but I do know I want you."

"And I want you."

October looked up at Ahkmenrah and was about to kiss him when something hit her foot. She looked down and saw a toy car. A small head poked out from the window.

"Sorry about that Gigantis." Jededaiah said. "I stepped on the wrong pedal."

"Were you spying on us?"

"Of course not. What kind of man do you think I am?"

"Do you want me to answer that honestly?"

"He was spying on you." Octavius said as he stuck his head out the window.

"Don't put this all on me. You were spying too."

"Ah so you admit you were spying on us."

"Gotta go." Jededaiah then drove the car off.

October shook her head. "What am I going to do with those two?"

Ahkmenrah chuckled. "Yes, they can be quite the pests."

October nodded in agreement. Then they headed to the lobby.

When they got out there they saw a soccer match going on so they sat back to watch. Everything was going fine until October started getting a headache. She was beginning to wonder what was wrong with her. Why was she getting headaches all of a sudden? She tried to ignore it, but it kept getting worse.

"Are you all right?" Ahkmenrah asked.

"I just have a headache."

"You have been getting those a lot haven't you?"

"I'll be fine."

October started carrying aspirin in her purse just in case her head started hurting again. She stood up to go get some, but then she became dizzy. Ahkmenrah noticed this and held her.

"You're making me worry."

"I'm sorry. I'll be fine I promise."

October's head got worse and she whimpered in pain. Her knees gave out and she collapsed and her world went black.
