Awaken: Between Time [BOOK 2]

✡️9 "Time's out"

🌹

After a long chitchat with Claire that I almost can't feel my body because of her stories, my thoughts and mind is definitely out of nowhere right now.

"Zanaya nakikinig kapa ba sakin?"
I quickly nod, I don't want to offend her.

"Nakikinig ako kaso naiisip ko lang yung Moon na sinasabi mo"

You may be wondering why I feel so exhausted, it's because we find out that we were roommates, and now I can't escape on her tongue.

"You're interested to her? I really thought you know her since you two seems so close even in your past lives..."

Here we go again, she's adding more information eventhough my brain is still progressing on what happened earlier.

"Can you time travel? You seem to know alot" I can't hold it anymore, I need to ask her so that I can finally see my grandmother.

"Why yes girl, that is my power after all" she confidently said.

"Can you help me look for my grandmother?" I ask her straight.

"Oh? Sure I think.... but I need an item that was held or touched by her to be able to track your grandmother"

Sh*t I don't have a single- wait.

I hold my necklace...

this necklace was given to me when I turned 13.

"Here...pls take care of it" I then carefully gave her my necklace.

"I will don't worry" and then she gave me her bright smile again.

She closed her eyes and started to cast a spell or whatever she's doing.

"Æveçtuß"

The atmosphere suddenly changed and the surroundings, we are in my house!

I remember this!

This is before the incident happened.

I quickly rush towards the door but Claire stopped me.

"There is something I want to tell you first!"

I looked at her with a confuse face🤨

"She can't see you, I only used the basic magic I have, we can't change the past yet we can only take a peek" fuck right, I only said help to look not to change what happened.

"It's fine as long as I know who abduct her" and then I quickly open the door and was stunned on what I saw...

I saw a girl holding my grandmother arms but I can't see her face because it was covered with a mask...

And just about she's going to take it off everything is suddenly gone and the atmosphere.

Where the fuck are we?!

"Sorry na Times Out ako, I already used a half of my magic today and seeking for the past is consuming, maybe let's try it again tommorow?" Is she kidding me?!

"Chill Aya! May Oras pa, para mo naman akong pinapatay sa mga tingin mo e" I sighed and calmed down.

"Sorry it's just I missed her so much"
I sit on the chair behind me, and she gave me my necklace.

"Im sorry, but I can't force myself and this is the only thing I can do, I am not yet well trained or what you expected but I will still help you as long sa makakaya ko"

I can't blame her, wait where is her parents?

"Where are your parents?"

"They abandoned me I grew up on an orphanage" that explains why she didn't feel that much empathy towards my family issue...

"Does your parents have super powers or specialty?"

"No, that's why when the knew that I have one the abandoned me..." Poor child...

"They're disgusted on me, and decided to leave me alone in the park..."

"Im sorry...I asked this type of questions to you"

"It's fine... besides I want you to know something about me"

"I'm tired..." Tas humikab ako, gabi na pala... Siguro di ko namalayan dahil sa dami-dami ng iniisip ko, dagdag patong si Claire kanina pa dumada.

"Claire if we have a free time, tell me more about Vivyan"

"Sure, labas muna ako di pa ako naiidlip e" sabi niya tas nag suklay ng kanyang buhok.

"Sige ingat...*waahh*" hikab ko.

Pinikit ko nalang ang mga mata ko, habang narinig ko'ng bumukas at sumara yung pinto

At natulog na ako.

.....

Nasan ako?

Lahat ng nasa paligid ko ay maitim, ng biglang nagbago ang paligid ko.

Teka ito yung bahay namin, tas sa oras na to alam ko'ng dito nawala si lola.

Kaya bigla akong tumakbo patungo sa bahay, naabutan ko yung babaeng mahigpit ang hawak sa kamay ng lola ko.

Pumapalag si lola sa babaeng naka mask at sinampal ito, at dahil dun nahulog ang mask na suot niya...

At hindi ako makapaniwala sa nakita ko sa babaeng kumuha ng lola ko.

"Vivyan..."
