The Things Within: A Story of Two Souls

At the start, there was only Alexis. Like all of us, she had dreams. But she was just a girl. Not a princess, not a model, she wasn’t special. Only she was special. She just didn’t know it yet. Her parents were nice and so were her siblings. The only thing that made this girl stand out was that she got along with almost everyone. She was never rude unless provoked and never disliked anyone without good reason. In a word, she was Sweet. But in her world sweet didn’t get you very far, so she often went unnoticed. The girl didn’t mind though. Being left to herself meant she could do things like read, draw, and write. She loved to write. Though sometimes writing was something she had to do. You see the girls’ imagination was bright, colorful, and active, that often meant she had a hard time falling asleep. And every once in a while, her dreams would wake her up and the only way she could go back to sleep was if she wrote down what she had dreamt about.     &n

So, what now? Do I just let this keep going and wait for Kar to marry someone else or do I tell him how I feel and wait to see what he says? Lex was now more confused than ever and Kar was the last person she could go to about it. So, Lex did what she always does and put her journal down, shut off the light, and tried to go back to sleep. But this time it was different. She woke up as Aeden. “Can’t sleep again. God, I hate this. And I’m freaking sweating again, Dammit! What is going on?” So Aeden got up to check the thermostat. It was at 65, there was no reason for her to be this hot. And of course, Dean was bundled up. So, she knew for sur

Shex and Mera were outside and around the corner so they saw Lex and Kar leave together. They turned and smiled at each other, knowing that they would be alright. But they still needed to get to the Hall of Records so that they could research Lex’s dreams to find a connection between them and her energy drain. They talked amongst themselves and decided that they also needed to figure out if Kar was having dreams as well and if he was, why they weren’t draining his energy. At the Hall of Records, they searched for hours to find the right scrolls. Once they had it took another couple of hours to find the scroll that talked about the dreams. There were at least 6 different scrolls that mentioned the dreams and 12 more that went more into depth about the dreams and the dreamers. They decided to divide the scrolls that had the most information about the dreamers. Shex had the two that talked about the “Male Descendant” and Mera had the two that talked about the “Female Descendant

Well, this is it. You’ll finally get to learn how to fix a car. And not just any car, a 1964 ½ Ford Mustang, swoon. As she approached the garage door her hand shook a little. She had been dreaming of taking this class since she first saw a mustang. Having her dad fill her head with stories of fixing and racing sports cars himself only added to her longing to learn. It was a way to feel closer to him again. Upon walking through the door way, she noticed the Professor/Mechanic sitting at a desk full of parts. There were guys at different ends of the garage, all working on different projects. She looked at her course paperwork again to find the Professors name and then walked over to him.

“Hey Aeden, Dean’s watching you.” Jake said. “He is not. He’s probably just trying to remember where he parked his car.” Aeden said. “You’re kidding right? He stayed right next to you the whole time he was with our group. He looked like leaving your side was painful when he had to go talk to Chase’s group.” Tess said. “And even then, he kept looking up every once in a while, to see where our group was.” Brenda said. “I think you guys are reading way too much into this. He may have been near me all night but all he talked about was the lecture and the assignments that would be based on tonight.” Aeden said. “Then why is he walking this way like he’s got something on his mind and he only wants to talk to you about it?” Brenda said. “U huh sure.” Aeden said as she rolled her eyes. “Hey, Aeden, can I talk to you for a minute?” Dean asked as he walked up to the group. “Sure.” Aeden said as she turned to see her friends givin
