All Chapters of The Things Within: A Story of Two Souls: Chapter 11 - Chapter 18

“Did you stay living with your parents after the lawyers?” Grant asked. “Yes, I didn't move out until I was 20. Things calmed down after about 6 months. And when I turned 18 and had enough money I started getting estimates from contractors to build this place. Once it was finished I moved out.” Aeden said. “And about a year later Aeden had her first stalker and had the wall and guard station built.” Jordan said.

When Aeden woke up the morning of her class with Dean she was calm. She had made her peace with what had happened and had decided to just let him go. She knew it might hurt for a while but like everything else she had lost in her life it would be forgotten. She kept telling herself that she needed to relax and act like nothing had happened, it was the only way she would get through the class. She also kept saying that the first day is always the hardest. So, she got up, got dressed, had her breakfast and grabbed her books. When she got to the garage she stopped and looked at her cars. Aeden owned every Ford Mustang body style there was. Each one was in the original color for its year and all were running. Her favorite was the 1964 ½ Cherry Red Original Mustang. It was the first of the line and she had found it in a junk yard and had it restored. Taking the restoration class at the college was how she first saw Dean. He had been in the class as a student so she didn't get to talk to

“So, what do I say next time he, Kar, talks to me? And do you know when Lex is there?” Dean asked Aeden. “I’m not really sure. He should definitely apologize first and it needs to be sincere.

How do you know when she is there?” Dean asked. “It’s like a weird nudge in my brain. Not a headache or pressure or anything. It’s really hard to explain…………. It’s kind of like when you touch my temple, its light but it’s on the inside.” Aeden explained. “Huh, I don’t think I’ve ever felt anything like that before. I also wasn’t trying to feel it though.” Dean said. “Well, maybe you should pay more attention.” Aeden said. She could feel the anger rising again. This was the one part of the pregnancy that had been hardest. She didn’t mean to get mad or cry or fall asleep at random times. It just kept happening; the doctor said it wa

Lex sighed and ate another apple before explaining. “The first time I was able to communicate with Aeden was when she looked into a mirror and saw my reflection. It scared her and she asked who the hell was I. At that point I realized I couldn't hear her thinking like I usually did and that she was actually talking to and seeing me. Since that time, we have talked to each other through a mirror. The first time Kar talked to Dean was also through a mirror, earlier today.” “Oh.” Shex and Mera said. They looked as if they were fascinated and scared all at the same time. “What's wrong?” Lex asked. “Nothing.” They both said. “Really? You know we can tell when you two are hiding something from us right?” Kar said. “And that it upsets me when you do.” Lex added.
