In her freshman year, Megan Smart has a terrifying chain of events to deal with. As if leaving home for college isn’t stressful enough, Megan faced with having to resist reincarnation!
The perfect boyfriend with a bright athletic future …
 The haunting by a demi-god figure from a past life …
A mysterious teal eyed stranger stalking with his own purpose in mind!
In New York City, after Megan touched an artifact at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, she experienced a vision of an Egyptian couple embraced in an intimate moment. When she left home to attend the same college as her star quarterback boyfriend, Tyler, she experiences a serious change in her personality so drastic that she jeopardizes her and Tyler’s relationship.
At the point of mental exhaustion, Megan goes home to meet with an empathic doctor, who had been training her mother in astrology. Instantly, Dr. Epstein taps into the root of Megan’s personality changes. Megan had connected with a past life—one who intends to take-over hers.

EXCERPTS
Chapter Three

Dr. Brogan had said not to touch the stone, but all of a sudden it seemed very cool to have an opportunity to actually touch something thousands of years old. My fingers reached for the closest broken pieces. Mom’s laughter echoing through the room made me draw my hand back. I looked up and saw Tyler jetting away from the group.
I covered my mouth. Apparently, Dr. Brogan had done something with the sarcophagus that Tyler didn’t appreciate. “Oh, my, gosh. What are they doing to him? I need to rescue my man.” I laughed as I got off the stool, dropping my gaze once more to the clay. This was my last chance to decide—to touch or not to touch. I reached for the bottom piece again, slowly extending my right pointer finger. One little touch from one little finger wouldn’t even be noticed. I reached further.
“Don’t touch these tablets, okay? We’re still working to authenticate, and we don’t know how fragile they are.”
Dr. Brogan’s words played back in my head. I stopped my finger about an inch away from the tablet. I stared at the piece I’d locked-in on, thinking about the beautiful room. Something beyond the norm happened to me today. Maybe I needed to see it through, do this final deed. Maybe I needed to … touch.
Before the words cleared my mind, I had gently placed my finger on the end of the last broken piece of the Amarna tablet. Nothing happened so I let my finger linger on the clay. I looked at the ancient writing and something began to happen; I understood the language on that broken piece.
I jerked my finger back. Shocked and confused, I felt frozen in place. I read the words over and over again, too afraid to scream, but knowing that I should. This couldn’t be real. What kind of game was this? I squeezed my eyes closed, opening them only when I felt a pain like an angry bee plunging its stinger into the end of my finger.
“Ouch!” I looked at my finger to see if I’d picked up a splinter from the table. My finger looked normal except that the one bee sting multiplied into two and three and then many, spreading to the other fingers and moving upward. The stings burned pain throughout my right hand. I couldn’t control the vibration that had started. I wanted to scream for help, but then everyone would know what I had done, that I had touched the tablet.
The vibration and stings moved on up my arm. All bets were off, I stopped fighting it alone. What if this was a heart attack taking place through my right arm instead of my left? Based on the chain of events of this day, anything sounded possible. I staggered backward and let out a blood-curdling scream.
“Aaaaaaaah, Daddy, come quick!”
I knocked over the stool behind me and hit the floor with a crash. Everyone ran toward me as I laid on my side, pounding my left fist against my right arm, trying to keep the bee stings from reaching my heart.
“I’m having a heart attack. Daddy, start CPR on me while Mom call for the ambulance.” I kept yelling.
It took Dad quite a while to calm me down, and to convince me that since I was still talking there was no need for CPR. We all agreed on one thing, our special basement tour turned out to be special, but for the wrong reasons.
Dad concluded that my arm had apparently lost connection with proper circulatory flow and some other medical babble. To be on the safe side, Dad asked Dr. Brogan to take him to the nearest emergency room where I received immediate attention once they found out who Dad was.
Dr. Brogan apologized to everyone for the train wreck of a day and offered to take us to the New York City dream restaurant of our choice. Mom felt it was best that I rest for the evening so we went back to our hotel suite and ordered room service.
That night, I made Tyler swear that neither Tangie, who was his cousin and my best friend, or any other friends of mine or his, could ever know about me falling out in the basement of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. If anybody asked anything about our trip, we both agreed that we would say the trip to New York was off the chain. Tyler’s failure to abide by his promise would result in his football team knowing that he’d ran from a mummy.
The day after the basement fiasco, I woke feeling renewed from the bad experience with no signs of residual effects in my right arm. I refused to think about the beautiful room or what happened to me after touching the broken clay. Every time I remembered the words I had read in an ancient language, I rammed those words into a dark corner of my mind. No way was I believing I’d been a part of understanding something written by dead people. Mom and I booked a spa and shopping excursion through the hotel concierge. Dr. Brogan, with his vast connections, set it up so that Tyler could visit the Metlife Stadium in New Jersey where the New York Giants were putting on an exhibition. Then he accompanied Dad to New York Presbyterian Hospital. Dad wanted him to meet some of his colleagues.
Later on, the four of us met for dinner. Dr. Brogan could not join us; he went home to his ailing wife. After we returned to the hotel, Tyler and I sat on the sofa. I shared some pictures on Facebook and texted Tangie.
Tyler had quite a following on Twitter, so he tweeted to his followers and the MNU football team about his exciting visit with the Giants. He showed me some of their gross, jock-head replies. There were a couple of text messages he refused to reveal—as if I didn’t know the question the jocks asked: had he gotten any?
It had been a long day, and I welcomed my king-sized bed—even more so if I could sneak Tyler into it, but neither one of us possessed bravery enough to chance an encounter with the dreaded Katie Smart.
I’d just showered, dried off, misted on my favorite Bath and Body Works fragrance, Moonlight Path, and slipped on a silk cami with a matching barely-there bottom. Walking toward my king-sized, totally empty bed, all I could think of was Tyler. He was right next door, but he might as well have been a thousand miles away.
I flopped onto the bed and looked up at the ceiling, spreading my legs to welcome the cool room air between my thighs. I relaxed, giving my mind time to think about subjects I’d avoided all day—the beautiful room and the bee stings—worst of all, the language I understood on the tablet. I thought about how the freaky things that happened to me had come after a visit from my personal nemesis—the quivering in my left eye lid. It started in the hallway of the museum and now it was starting up again.
“Well,” I muttered, “there you are. What are you bringing this time?” I tried to sit up, but I couldn’t move, as if something had glued me to the bed. What the hell? The quiver in my eyelid had brought something worse than ever.
My heart pounded. I wondered what would happen next. It didn’t take long for me to find out. As if the hand of a master artist stroked his brush while someone rolled out his canvas, the same room I’d seen in the basement of the museum was etched upon the ceiling. A portal had opened to show me a scene from another time.
The room was more beautiful, the colors even more brilliant than the first time I’d seen them. Shadings of gold, red, and blue drenched the columns, large pieces of furniture, wall art, and floor coverings.
A tall slim young lady, maybe my age or younger, now occupied the lavish room.
Reaching back into the limited information I’d gleamed all these years, I decided she looked like upper-class Egyptian royalty. I was so captivated by her, I forgot about being a hostage in my own bed—forgot to be afraid of what I had to face: that these episodes were bizarre visions.
I’d never seen anything like a vision until I stepped over the threshold of those red doors. I thought these kinds of sightings only happened to prophets, evangelists, voodoo priest, psychics or witches. Yet, inside our New York suite, the unexplainable played out before my eyes.
She wore a gorgeous, white, strapless gown that hugged her long, shapely body so completely it looked as if it had been poured around her. The material appeared soft and delicately textured, hanging flawlessly from her breasts downward.
Her slender long neck and young shoulders seemed too fragile to wear the heavy-looking gold jewelry. Even the gold band trimming her gown from underneath her torso and trailing to her mid-thigh, looked too heavy. But her straight posture made me think she was used to the feel. She stood elegantly poised, with her arms clasped behind her back. Her chest and chin were lifted and one leg slightly crossed in front of the other, a professional model just waiting for the photographer to take the perfect shot.
Her dark complexion radiated a soft glow, bringing attention to her high cheekbones and full moist lips. Maybe she was an angel, here to give me a special message. No, she couldn’t be an angel because angels don’t glue a person in their bed.
I took a deep breath, letting the beautiful scene calm me, glancing from her to an object hanging on the wall behind her head. I recognized it as an ankh, the ancient Egyptian symbol of life.
My eyes fell back to her thick, black hair. She wore fluffy bangs that accentuated heavy dark eye makeup. She stood in composed anticipation, waiting for something to happen, or maybe someone to come. And then, without warning, the artist painting on my ceiling breathed life into his creation. The scene became three dimensional, like an interactive video game, and then she moved.
Her head tilted ever so slightly in my direction. With beautiful brown eyes, she looked at me. Still pinned to the surface of my bed, I felt compelled to gawk at her. My eyes strained against the sockets as her lips moved, and she said something to me that I could not hear. Any previously peaceful moment had gone to hell. Now, I wanted out!
After a few seconds of her speaking and me not hearing, she turned her head in another direction. Shortly after, a man appeared from behind the heavy tapestry curtains. Even though she held her pose, her lips curved upward. A dance filled her eyes as he crossed the room. She waited for him, slightly shifting one hip in a flirtatious move, a dignified show of excitement.
So far, I could only see his back. He wore an over-the-top, two-toned headdress, a leopard-skin wrap crossed his chest, and a brown, wrap-around man skirt, at least that was what I called it when I used to thumb through the pictures in our library. Dad called it by its proper name—shendyt.
His clothing seemed to represent someone with authority, not a commoner. This was her man, and he was somebody special. I jerked my right elbow and it lifted, taking my arm and shoulder with it. The other parts of my body rejoiced in movement too. Now I could run from the room, get out of this … nightmare.
“Really, a nightmare?” I said softly. The scene before me didn’t feel like a nightmare anymore; it seemed like a part of me, something I should see. If I could see them and the lady tried to talk to me, maybe this tall dude with the broad shoulders might want to say something too.
Honestly, I just wanted to see what this totally hot couple was going to do, so I settled back to enjoy the ride.
His bare arms exposed muscles stacked underneath his brown skin. When he came close enough, her arms unlocked from behind her and moved underneath the animal skin, unlocking the fastener that held it. She ripped the sliding animal skin from him and sailed it across the room. A smile brightened her already beautiful features, white teeth against fine chocolate.
He held his arms wide, bidding her to have her way. No confusion remained in my mind about what they were about to get into. How I fitted into this totally private moment still remained a mystery to me.
She undressed his bottom, first the wrap, then bending down before him, she loosened the side ties on probably the first edition of the male thong. I squeezed my eyes tight. Somehow I’d connected with this room in ancient Egypt and now the mummies were making their own porno movie just for me.
My eyes opened, and my petrified brain looked back inside mummy land. Maybe this was a curse placed on me for touching the ancient broken tablet when Dr. Brogan explicitly told me not to. Tyler had listened, but I didn’t, and now I might have to watch ancient zombie movies for the rest of my life.
The couple went deeper into their love making. Mummy porno, right on the ceiling of my room! Her beautiful white dress lay crumpled on a rug, her lean curvy body naked. I tuned in just in time to see him sucking on her bottom lip then going into her mouth for her tongue. Her hands grabbed as much of his ass as she could, while he seemed to enjoy trailing deep and passionate kisses from her mouth, taking a greedy journey to her breast. Her hands went limp as she arched her neck and lifted her chest to him, letting him tease her nipples with his tongue.
With his powerful arms, he lifted her straight up. Her long model-like legs and thighs spread outward, and then wrapped around his waist, using her legs to lock her in place. She wrapped her arms around his neck; he responded to her passionate twining around his body by flooding her with kisses. The motion of their jaws showed evidence of heavy tongue action.
Awareness that their foreplay was beginning to arouse me eased icy horror into my pores—a horror that I fought without the cooperation of my warming body. The bee stings from touching a piece of the Amarna tablet came back into the tip of my pointer finger, not with the discomfort felt at the museum, but stimulating enough to prove that the feeling hadn’t left for good.
A throbbing yearning gripped me, sending a sensitivity to my tongue, my mouth, the tips of my breasts and between my legs, a feeling that my shy, reserved sexual nature had never let go of with Tyler, my first.
I tried to look away. I really did. I knew that this streaming video was not a part of services provided by an expensive New York hotel suite. This video streamed for me alone. With every move they made, I noticed my chest rising and falling, my breathing deepening, my hunger to have Tyler inside me. I heard a moan inside my throat and realized that my hands were under my cami, touching and rubbing, enjoying the feel of me.
“Get, up, Meg,” I said to myself as I tried to get my body to obey my brain, tried to run away from where my hands wanted to go next. “Please, Megan,” I begged myself. “Don’t let them make you, you’re not their puppet, not their—” I stumbled the words out as my hands went lower and lower.
I freed the lower part of me from my barely-there sleeper bottom, too confining for this new level of heat. I opened my thighs and drew my legs up, letting my knees fall outward. My hands slid between my thighs. Lightly, I rubbed and caressed and made my own pleasure, panting softly until the heat required more. I released then looked up at her.
Her brown eyes fixed on me. I thought I saw a smile and maybe a slight wink. At that moment, I felt like they had compelled me to take part in getting to know them better, edged me toward an active role in their love making. I felt used, stimulated through mummies making out on a hotel ceiling.
The man’s face looked handsome and strong as he carried her toward a huge tall bed that had wide oval steps leading up to it. I took notice of his well-developed calf muscles. As he walked with her clinging to the front of him, she never broke her gaze from me. I heard the only words she wanted me to.
“The beautiful one has come.”
Her voice sounded stern and commanding. I didn’t think she and I would have been friends in this life. As the scene slowly faded off the ceiling, one thing I admitted to myself: the control belonged to them. They sucker-punched me with their emotions the moment I walked out of the bathroom. I’d watched their mummy sexual foreplay and it turned me into another kind of Megan. Scary shit!
In one way, I hoped the mummy-porno-watching Megan was gone forever. But for tonight, my flesh wanted to roll with my newfound sexual freedom and pray that I didn’t get used to this transformation. One side of my thinking didn’t want to waste this brave new Megan, who wanted walk right past her parents’ bedroom door and turn the knob on Tyler’s.
Mom didn’t trust Tyler; she had no idea how straight-laced he was. Flashes of my real-self, shy and reserved, stood up against the emerging self, thinking about heading for Tyler’s bedroom. Could either side of me really go to Tyler’s room with my parents right in the same hotel suite? No. I wouldn’t, I fought to strike down the hint of what my body suggested. I would never let that happen. I walked around in my room, fighting the urge to go to him.
The bags from me and Mom’s spa and shopping day laid piled in a corner. I distinctly remembered buying several pairs of thongs at Victoria’s Secret while Mom browsed in Crate & Barrel. She would have tripped out to know that I’d bought them.
I’d stood in disbelief at the register. Thongs were not my thing. I’d always hated how they rode between your cheeks, irritating everything in their path. Yet, there I was, buying a black, neutral, and pink pair. After this night’s activity, I realized that the love mummies’ influence had started way before their ceiling performance.
I found the bag with the thongs, preferring to dangle the pink one in the air, I slipped it on, standing in the mirror, bare chested, turning from side to side. He would love to see me like this. I had fought against this thing as best I knew. All reservations faded into thin air. Tyler wanted me just as much as I wanted him. Someone just needed to make the first move. Outfitted with bare breasts, pink thong, and a short, pink floral robe, I knew the mummies had chosen me to be the brave one.

“Remember the dream of the places you’ve never been. Could it be memories from another time?”
