Chapter 6

Lying back down, Yuan sighed to herself. Clearly she had been captured by a bunch of loonies. Rich loonies at that, if they could spend a million dollars to lure her here in the first place. What were they trying to have her believe, she wondered in her cold addled state of mind? That she once existed about two millennia ago and that the handsome young man, Shan Li, had walked the earth for two millennia already without aging?

She just dusted off the story as an ordinary tale; they must be just ridiculous to even think that she could be so easily brain-washed. As the cold medicine began to work, Yuan heard more movement outside the door.

Shan put his head inside the door frame. “Lauren told me she shared my story with you?”

Yuan nodded, though the look on her face clearly told him she didn’t believe a word of it. “I can understand that you might think it pure fantasy,” Shan agreed.

“I have a deal for you. though. Hear me out and keep an open mind. If you would just come back to my bedroom, open the chest and take the dagger. Once you do that, if afterwards still feel the same way you do right this minute about everything Lauren has revealed to you, then you are free to leave if you like. You will even be paid the remainder of your fee. I just can’t let you leave before you try.”

Although she was skeptical, Yuan agreed. Why not? At this point, if it would free her from this crazy house, then she would play along. For one, she didn’t believe anything was connected to her in this and just as she has seen, if they are silly enough to try such funny brainwashing on her in the hope that it would work, then they just might as well let her go realizing this had nothing to do with her, whatever it was.

Whistling to Ruger, to make the huge dog move from his guard post by the door, Shan walked to the side of her bed. Gently he helped Yuan up, and led her down the hall to his bedroom. When they reached the huge room, he backed away, allowing her to enter on her own. Shaking her head over the silliness of the scene, Yuan walked back over to the silver chest.

She again touched the silver chest, which now seemed oddly warm beneath her fingers, not the cool metallic form she was expecting. Then she frowned. It couldn’t be possible, but the silver chest seemed to begin thumping with her touch, as if she had her hand upon a man’s chest, feeling his heart beating through skin and bone. She looked back at Shan, who nodded at her, encouragingly. Biting her lower lip, Yuan opened the chest, to find a tiny ornate dagger lying on a bit of fabric, gleaming within it’s silver resting place. Hesitantly she reached down into the chest, and picked up the blade.

As soon as her fingers closed around the hilt, a lifetime of memories flooded through her.
