Chapter 2:

Meting The Mystery Man

As I leave my apartment there would be really dark and heavily filled clouds, it seemed as if it would begin to poor down any second. I sigh softly as I make my way onto my scooter; which is the only vehical I was allowed to drive around in Egypt, considering my age iand taking nto account, their laws. I truly enjoyed this thing espically in high traffic times; pulling out my keys I would start it up, the scooter rang out with a decently soft hum, before I steadied myself on it and drove off towards downtown Cairo, towards my club; which I decided to name ReMix, corny I know, but I enjoyed the name and nothing else seemed to quite nail the style of it on the head. As I left though it felt as if I could feel a set of eyes on me; quickly I would turn back to glance over my shoulder, finding nothing out of the ordinary I shrug it off and quickly sped off.

Once I arrived at the club, which sat perfectly squared off to the hill it sat on, the building itself was made of extra strong wood and marble; yes that's right I poored every penny I had into this building, with a black and white paint color and a amazing multicolored neon sign with "ReMix" clearly printed in fancy letters. I would pull around to the side of the building and park my little purple scooter, turn it off and grab the keys, as I do that same sense of being watched plagued once again. This time I take my time as my eyes glance around, but soon give up not finding anything; probably being just my paranoid self, I am a young woman living alone so I can't be to careful.

I quickly go around to the front door with the key in hand and stick it in the large dead bolt resturant type lock and turn it all the way around unlocking the door for myself, before turning it half way around and pull out the key as I open the door and step inside. Allowing the door to lock once againg behind me, the inside was covered with midnight blue with cosmic type feel to it, I always found it very enthawling idea, the couches and chairs are a simple red velvet curved style, a nice large open dance floor, with a decently modern sized bar as well, as a VIP .

I would head upstairs towards my office, opening the door to only see a large pile of papers sitting on my desk, as I made my way towards the chair and sat down in it with a soft sigh setting down my purse right next to my feet under the desk as I set to work. After while someone would knock on my door "come in" I called to the person on the other side, not bothering to look up, I had about two hours left of work before I needed to go home and change.

"Miss O'Connell, I wanted to let you know every dish and glass have been accounted for and in their proper place, the only trouble I foresee in the kitchen is enough soap to wash dishes" a young Egyptian male, with short dark hair and deep brown eyes said as he stepped inside of the office, ausing me to finally stop d give him a light smile "thank you so much Alahmi you've been such a great help in all this, such a heaven sent" I say with a soft smile as I take in his appearance, which looked quite dirty from cleaning and such.

"Thank you Miss O'Connell, um..I have a question though" Alahmi spoke, causing me to peak my interest "mmm sure ask way" I said to him, not even close to expect the next thing out f his mouth "do you believe in Destiny?" he simply asked, before turning to leave out of the office. I sit there flabbergasted at having been caught off guard by such simple question "I am not even sure that I believe in magic let alone fate or Destiny" I think to myself s I finish out my work, those thoughts still swirling in my mind.

The recent storm had hit and it was hard one too, it had nearly flooded out the entire city, I was so pissed off at this situation due to now being over booked, amd under supplied, I had to start calling in extra supplies from clubs that did get ruined. I've been here in Cairo for almost two years now and nothing like this has ever happened; it felt like the worst day to have this happen.

Once I finished work, I traveled back home on my trusty lucky purple scooter, only to be confrunted with flooded apartment, the water came up to my knees as I slowly trailed through it, even with it this shallow; flooding could still be dangerous.

"I honestly cannot believe this! All of my clothes are ruined!" I turn around spouting off to myself since the only friends I'd been making this entire time only cared about my stuff and it was so obvious that I'm not even sure why I bothered to even call them friends, but then again I've always felt different, and really more of loner as I did tend to keep to myself.

My cat looks at me like I have completely lost it, I turn towards him and say "what?"He just looks at me and shakes his head, so I turn to try and salvage what I have left; grabbing a bag from inside my closet I would quickly pack change of clothes for few days, dragging Amun along with me, it's not exactly like I can leave him alone to fiend for; quickly leaving the apartment, with the same annoying feeling of being watched, but not bothering to look around again. As fast as my scooter could carry us I began to make my way to back to my club. Once parked and the keys were in my hand I would head the front door again; greatful that I was smark enough to put a spare room here.

As I reached the entrance I could feel eyes watching me so intensely that it freaked me out, but I remained cool if I had learned anything from the 'God-awful' times that my father made me spend training, was that when you think your being watched you probably are. The evening came and went with no interruptions or inncodents, it was peaceful rest.

I had decided to draw the one watching me, I wante- no needed to know what they wanted and why they were watching me. The best way to do this was to just remain normal and calm by getting the club going for the night despite the fact that it had just flooded, because of the location of the club it was undamaged and dry. As I stepped in it, I was so glad to see that the inside was completely dry and very clean."mental note to self I got to remember to give the cleaners a raise" I thought out loud not really remembering my cat Amun is with me.

By the time I had gotten settled and decided to go and take a shower in the back, grabbing my over night bag, after my shower I had just slipped into something sexy, but comfortable enough that I could make a get away if I needed to, another God-awful trick I learned from my dad to be prepared. I sits at my desk organizing and cleaning everything up, even though everything in my life had place, this brought about bad feelings about me and my ex, "except a boyfriend " I say to myself.

I sighs at the thought as I leans back in my chair and closing my eyes going into a deep relaxation state, by started by relaxing my toes up to my hips than up to my neck and finally my head. I could hear every sound the floor made from the creaks in the wood from the floor settling to the, smell of dust settling on the future from the ceiling, with the splash of water heard outside as cars drove past. I glance over into the mirror after bringing myself back to my senses and of course reality. I stood up and walked over to the window, as I turned and stared at myself in the mirror thinking. 'this honestly couldn't get any worse than it has, I have no relationship with my family, my house has now been ruined as well as I'm being stalked' Just in that moment it had looked like the mirror started to glow, then I took a better look in the mirror it was ME that was glowing. I couldn't believe my own eyes or ears as I had heard a voice say "Alxiea, for ages have you wondered what was so different about you, and now it's the time for you to AWAKEN!"

With that the light grew brighter, than just disappeared like nothing had happened. I was so stunned for words I had decided it was best to put it out of my head again and forget about. 'That was just someone playing a prank on me' I thought as I shrugged it off and continued with all of the busy work I had to do before the doors opened that night.

Later that night around ten pm I had gathered the staff up for a meeting. I looked at each one of them individually in the eye, then I said "tonight is a big night for us, a lot of the other bars and clubs have been shut down due to the inconvenience of the storm and flooding, I want everyone on their best behavior because it is going to get very busy and very packed in here tonight, I really need all of you on the same page, this is your only warning you get, if I see any of you and I mean anyone, or is told to stop doing anything inappropriate or foolish, you WILL be fired any questions? " Everyone with in ear shot and/or visual sight didn't say a word. "your dismissed"

Everyone than began to get to work setting up the bar setting up the equipment for the music, fluffing the pillows getting the ice in the proper containers and started prepping the food in the kitchen. Now the time drew even closer to when I would open the doors to let everyone in. After about an hour I blew a whistle and shouted at everyone "you have 5 minutes to finish what your doing and be into your proper assignments!" As everyone rushed around and where in their proper places I nodded to the bouncer to open the door and start letting people in. First who had a reservation then anyone else who wanted in, of course after paying the five dollar cover charge, that gets them free shots all night, the rest they have to pay for. As people started to pile in after the doors where open I had decided to take to my office, while I watched everyone and everything on camera.

After an hour or two I made my presence known to all of the staff, but I was more focused on the Abric/Egyptian looking man that walked in, his hair was dark brown that was wavy and came down to his shoulders, he had these mesmerizing medium brown eyes, they had a serious and stern look to them, but they also showed love and compassion. He had a beard and mustache combination that looked good on him as well as his tattoos on either side of his cheeks and his forehead. I tried to get a good look at his body but he was covered in his dessert robs, so there really wasn't much to see. I had decided to walked over to the man with a slight frown against my lips as I said "I know who you are, why are you here?" He would turn to face me, after hearing my demanding question, he would ight into my eyes as he said "is there more, of a private place we can talk?"

I looked at him with a bit of anger, as I was ready to send him right back out the door, but something kept nagging at me to just hear him out; deciding against it I waved to him to fallow me up the stairs into my office. "have a seat" I said in a flat irritation tone. "so tell me why are you here?" I demanded more than I truly asked of him, as I crossed my arms and legs. The man looked around my office noticing something peculiar, but decided right now he needed to talk to me. He would move over to the empty chair in front of my desk, taking a seat

"Well its your family they will be in danger shortly and I need you to come with me as soon as possible," he began causing me to raise an eye brow at him as I was about to move and he hurried along quickly as he could, "well have you noticed anything bizarre happing lately? Like any glowing?" My eye become large like saucers, then realizing that I must look crazy I calm down a little and I also knew it was happening, then I became very angry "So, It was YOU who's been fallowing me around town these past couple of days?" He just gives me a look that screams "yes I'm guilty, with good reason" I sigh and sit down in my seat trying to grip all of this nonsense.
