Strange World

Figured Out

Rachel POV:
I sat in the dinner waiting for Max as Joyce brought me a cup of water. "Glad to see you're doing better Rachel," she said as I gave her a smile. She walked back in the kitchen as I saw Chloe's truck pull up to the dinner,and sure enough Max was the only one to get out. Taking a deep breath I watched as she walked in the building looking around for me. I waved at her signaling her over. "Hey Rachel,so what's up?" Max asked taking a seat across from me. "Okay I'm going to just come out and ask it. Can you like control time or something? Because you got up on that roof without being seen or heard," I said as she chuckled a bit. "I guess you figured it out," she said as my eyes widened. "Wait! You're not fucking around with me?" I asked leaning forward as holy crap this was huge. "Nope. Just watch in a couple of seconds Joyce will walk over to us holding a glass of orange juice," she said as I looked over watching Joyce walk out of the kitchen with exactly what Max said. I shook my head not knowing what the hell was going on right now. "Here you go," Joyce said giving the juice to Max before walking away. "Actually Rachel I have my own little theory on you," Max said as I shook my head still lost on what just happened. "Chloe told me about the fire a couple years ago,and to be honest I think somehow you can control the weather," she said as I lifted a eyebrow. "Think about it Rachel the fire was started out of anger,and when things started to get better the fire was put out," she said as I tilted my head. "I mean earlier I cried and it began to rain,but that doesn't mean anything," I said shaking my head. "Rachel I can go back and forth in time you shouldn't just shake this off," Max said as I nodded a bit as I mean if she could do all that maybe I could control weather. "Well Max what emotions cause what weather?" I asked as Max shrugged a bit. "I'd assume happy means sunshine and sadness brings rain," she said as I shook my head getting up. "I guess we only have one way to test all of this stuff," I said offering her a hand up. Max smiled a bit taking my hand as we got up walking out of the dinner. Running out of the dinner together we laughed as I pulled out my phone calling Chloe to meet us at the junkyard. "I'll race ya Max," I said as I begin jogging away. "Hey that's cheating!" Max called out chasing me closely.

Chloe POV:
Shaking my head I had been waiting at the junkyard for fifteen minutes now. My eyes widened seeing Frank's RV pull in as I forgot I owed him a lot of cash. Looking around for some place to hide at it was too late as he stopped the RV getting out. "Price,listen I let you off the hook last time,but I'm going to need my money now," he said shaking his head. "I...I umm don't have it," I said shrugging as he sighed. "Damn it Price. I can't just let you keep doing this without paying me back," he said pulling the knife out of his pocket. I jumped off the hood putting my hands in front of me. "Frank, come on isn't that a bit extreme. Killing me over some drug money?" I asked knowing it had definitely happened to people that hadn't paid before. Frank shook his head "Price put your hand on the truck hood. I'm gonna have to take a finger," he said as my eyes widened a bit. "The fuck you are," I said backing up hitting a mound of garbage. "Damn it Price I was a big fan of you and Rachel,and now you're making me do this," he said grabbing my arm as I pulled away. "You don't have to do this Frank. Come on what would Rachel think?" I asked knowing he cared about Rachel a lot. "Damn it Price I don't have time for your arguing," he said slamming my hand down on a barrel. I closed my eyes as he raised the knife in the air,but it never happened. Slowly opening my eyes I saw Max standing in front of me with Frank standing a bit away. I chuckled a bit looking up at Max as Frank gritted his teeth. "Frank stop!" Rachel yelled out as next thing I knew the knife was in the air flying towards us. Everything seemed to slow down as the blade entered Max's stomach. Max fell back into my arms as I couldn't even think seeing her like that. Looking up I saw Rachel clinch her fist tightly as the sky turned grey. Thunder crackled as Max lifted her hand up in the air,but it fell down. "Fuck!" was all I could say to myself as Max was too weak to reverse time. Holding her close I watch as Rachel was actually controlling the weather causing rain to begin to fall. Taking a deep breath I kissed Max deeply as Rachel struck a bolt of lighting down at Frank's RV. Slowly I begin to feel like I was getting sick as I opened my eyes seeing Max open hers. I broke the kiss looking down to see Max wasn't bleeding anymore as the knife was laying in the ground next to her. "Time!" I yelled out as Max stuck her hand out reversing it all. Slowly opening my eyes I saw Max standing in front of me with Frank standing a bit away. "Damn what timing," I said chuckling as suddenly Max pushed me down jumping on top of me. Frank threw his knife at us as thanks to Max we dodged it all. "Time traveling," she said as her nose begin to bleed a bit.
