Finding You

Chapter~~17

            “Lucas you’ve obviously been alive for a while. Have you met any famous people?”

            “I have met many people. What do you mean by famous? Do you mean modern day famous or famous people that have long since passed?”

            “I mean someone like Leonardo Di Vinci” her voice was full of wonder and curiosity.

            “Well I actually did know Leonardo. He asked me to pose for a couple of his paintings. I met Mona Lisa and to be honest she was not that attractive. I do not know what Leonardo saw in her but it is a great painting.” I thought back to some of my younger years. “I met Charlemagne. He was a very interesting man and surprisingly very funny. I met Edgar Allen Poe. We only talked once but I could tell he had a few problems. I had the great pleasure of meeting Claude Monet. He was an extraordinary man. He was my favorite artist. His paintings just seemed to speak to me.” I have met many people but I cannot think of them all right now.

            “Wow that is so amazing.” She has a huge smile on her lips. “Have you met any famous movie stars? And by movie stars I mean celebrities that are famous right now.”

            I sighed and thought. “I have met a few people you might have heard of. I have met Johnny Depp, Kate Beckinsale, and Will Smith. I have met more people but I cannot recall at the moment.” Navia just looked at me with a big smile. “Oh I met Marilyn Monroe as well. We met at a party and really found a friend in each other.”

            “What!” she exclaimed.

            “You know of Marilyn Monroe?”

            “Do I know of her?” she looked at me with an incredulous look. “She’s only my idol.”

            Her expression made me chuckle. “I wish I could have introduced you two. I think you would have been good friends if you had the chance to meet each other.”

            We talked some more and Navia fell asleep in my arms. When I noticed that she had fallen asleep I lifted her with one hand and pulled the covers down. I laid her down on the bed and pulled the covers up over her. I watched her as she slept and saw how every once and a while she would turn in her sleep. I wonder what she is dreaming about. I closed my eyes and focused on her. Suddenly I was in her dream. I was in Navia’s house, standing just inside the door. I could hear faint voices.

            I went further into the house going toward the voices. There was an open room to my right. There was a couch, a couple chairs and a T.V. on a stand, but there were no people so I kept going. I saw a staircase to my left and went up them and found a hall with four doors lining the walls. The talking got louder as I slowly walked down the hall. The talking must be coming from the very last room at the end of the hall. I walked to the room and slowly opened the door. All my breath seemed to be stolen from my body. The scene in front of me was beyond shocking.

            Navia was sitting in the middle of her room covered in blood. Her twin sister was sitting next to her covered as well. Blood was splattered all over the walls and dripping from the ceiling. What happened here? Navia was sitting on the floor with her face buried in her lap. Her twin was looking at me with a look of pure happiness. She got up and wrapped her arms around me. I looked down at her confused. She looks exactly like Navia except her eyes. Her eyes are crystal clear blue and Navia’s are a bright green. I do not know her but I feel connected to her. I pulled her closer and looked deeper into her eyes. In her eyes there was yellow pigmentation. She is a Myx. Well actually she was a Myx. This is only a dream.
