Chapter 12 - THE MEETING OF THE FATED

Time : 8:43pm

Location: Jason's house

"Honey!!! Honey wake up!! Oh God he's not breathing!"

"911 what's your emergency?" The voice at the other end of the line said.

"It's my son! He's not breathing! I think he's D-DEAD!!!" Martha screamed into her phone clutching Jason's lifeless body to her chest.

"Please come quickly!!! Please!!!"

........

Two days later....

Location : East Side Hospital

Time : 4pm, (2 hours after Cleo had woken up in the hospital)

'From the vision I had, the woman's voice inside me is Queen Cleophethrah of Ancient Egyptia. It feels like I'm her and she's trying to get me to help her stop her crazy husband from getting his revenge on the world. Her crazy husband which I now understand is definitely Jason!' Cleo cringed within her soul.

'Gahhhhh!!!! How am I supposed to do that? In the past they literally end up killing each other. Does that mean Jason and I....? No!!!! Definitely not! What am I even saying right now? Am I really contemplating the murder of the guy I love?" Cleo grabbed her head again about to lose her xxxx.

Lilian, Cleo's mother burst into the hospital room excitedly just then holding 2 giant shopping bags.

"Hey baby. Got enough rest now?" She said looking incredibly happy.

"Yes mom." Cleo said looking at her mom with love filled eyes.

"Good. So finally we can get to talking about those tattoos I found on your body." She said sitting down and gesticulating at Cleo's wrists.

"T-tattoos?" Cleo looked confused until she spotted the two tiny tattoos on her wrist.

They were tattoos of the symbol of the 'Eye of the sun god Huros' symbolizing protection and the 'Eye of the sun goddess Ro' symbolizing goodluck, just like those she had spotted on Queen Cleophethrah in her visions.

"Haaaaa!!!" She exclaimed staring at both her wrists totally dumbfounded.

"Sweetie if you wanted to get a tattoo you should have just told me. I would've asked the artist to come to the house instead. I assume that's where you've been sneaking off to at night." Lilian stared at her daughter trying to catch an admission of guilt from her.

'That wasn't a tattoo on Jason's hand now was it? That means Jason is really...and I'm gonna have to...No!!! I have to speak with Jason.'

Cleo frantically picked up her phone completely ignoring her mom right by her side.

Over the phone:

"Hey Ramen, it's Cleo."

"That's not a tattoo on your hand, is it Jason?"

"Cleo. We need to see each other as soon as possible." Jason uttered in a serious tone.

(From Chapter 6 : Waking Up)

........

A few days later.

'Rings door bell'

"Hold on, I'm coming."

Lilian opened the door and found Jason standing right there.

"Hey. Can I come in?" Jason asked, bright eyed.

"Of course Jason! Come on in!" Lilian's excitement to see Jason was written all over her face.

"Is it prom season already? Are you here to ask Cleo to the prom? You should. Or are you her to ask for her hand. Kyahhh....I'm so excited. How's your mom doing these days? Does she know about the recent developments between you and my daughter." Lilian shook with anticipation as she asked Jason.

"Ummm...I'm just here to talk to Cleo actually." Jason responded nervously scratching the back of his head.

"Mom!" Cleo shouted from the top of the stairs. "Step away from the Jason!"

Lilian's excitement dropped as she stepped away slowly. "Okay kids I'll be right back with snacks."

Jason sat down on the opposite couch across the coffee table from Cleo and looked dead into her eyes.

"Look, I'm not here to sugar coat so, from what I've been seeing in my visions Cleo, we're both royally XXXXED!" He exclaimed.

Cleo burst out laughing even though she knew the situation was serious.

"Why the hell are you laughing?" Jason asked chuckling lightly.

"Lmao. It's just...the way you said it. You're so dumb. Hahaha". Cleo giggled.

"Yeah but did I lie?" Jason asked holding back a snicker.

"No...I mean we're only the vessels for this historic couple that killed each other before and desperately want to reincarnate so they can kill each other again. Huh, what could go wrong?" Cleo uttered super sarcastically.

Jason couldn't help but burst out laughing at her sarcasm.

Cleo leaned in closer to Jason over the little coffee table looking deep into his eyes. She smirked and stretched her arm out towards his face to caress him. "Do you think you can kill me though? My sweet Ramen? Hmmm? You're in my house now."

Jason froze in his seat. He swallowed deeply as he remembered how many times he had touched her skin in his visions, how many times she had pulled him into a deep kiss and laid her hands all over his body. How many times he had been alone with her worshipping her gorgeous body in the royal golden chambers. How many times he had heard her moan and whisper the words 'I love you King Rami'.

Even though she was called Queen Cleophethrah in his visions, and he King Rami, it was still her and he wanted her in real life too.

"Oh my God! Am I interrupting anything?" Lilian squealed excitedly as she appeared from the kitchen with a try of snacks for the kids.

Cleo hurriedly jumped back into her seat away from Jason at her the sound of her mom's voice.

"Mom!!!" Cleo yelled glaring at her mom. "Privacy!"

"Oh I'm sorry my love, I'll be outta here in two seconds. I'm already out see?" Lilian giggled as she dropped the snack on the table and left the room.

"Ughhh moms." Cleo groaned and smiled as she looked back up at Jason.

"Y-Yeah moms." Jason said nervously.

"Look Cleo, I've been having these visions and-" Jason was quickly cut off by Cleo.

"Waking up in strange places in the morning? Yeah ditto." Cleo completed his statement.

"Not to sound bleak but I'm so glad you're going through the same thing and I don't sound crazy!" Jason sighed with relief.

"So you're happy I'm suffering with you Ramen? Hahaha." Cleo laughed.

"Kinda. But we've gotta find a way to stop them. Cleo you don't know what I do at night, heck, I don't even know what I do at night but I know it's terrible. It's terrible Cleo. When I wake up I always see that I probably have done evil, terrifying things..." Jason said, hands trembling with fear.

Cleo noticing how shaken Jason was. She stood up, walked up to his seat and sat next to him.

"I don't care what it is Ramen. I'm here for you and we're gonna stop them no matter what." She said smiling at him.

"Right? We can't let these old school clowns take over our precious high school days." Jason put his foot down in agreement with Cleo.

"So, for the million dollar question, how do we stop them?" Jason uttered.
