Lost In The Time Of Memories

Chapter 05

"What year are you from?" I interrogated them after storming back in the storage room, Emily close behind.

"2095" Sage answered for me.

"What year are you from?" Zachary asked in a snarky tone.

"2026" Emily answered as I was fuming at this rude boy. "The year is 2026"

"So we went to the past? This is unbelievable" Charlie panicked before passing out with fear.

"Oh my god!" I jumped into action, rushing over to him only for Zachary to step in my way.

"Woah, we don't know you so there is no way in hell that you are going any closer to him"

"Move" I demanded.

"She's a doctor, now move out of her way" Emily backed me up, grabbing some water bottles that she found.

"Zach" Sage started, with a look telling him to listen to her. He sighed and took a small step to the side, eyes focused on me as I knelt beside his friend. I helped Charlie to recover and wake up, sitting him up against some crates as he drank the water.

"How are you feeling?" I questioned, kneeling in front of him as to not scare him any further.

"Confused" he answered honestly.

"As am I" I reassured him. "But we will figure this all out, I just need some time" and with that I stood to my feet and sat down on another create.

"We need to tell our parents about this Thea" Emily try's to reason with me as she joins me. My head is resting in my hands as she sat beside me while speaking.

"No! We can't bring them into this" I stand up with a sudden frustration.

"I know you don't want to see them after last time but we need their help with this"

"Fine, but your calling them" I stormed out of the storage room with rage.

"What about us?" Zachary called after me but I was too far to turn back.

"We will set you up some beds to stay here for the night, and don't even think about trying to leave" Emily warned, pointing an accusing finger at the group. "Hey Thea, wait up!" Emily chases me down the cold hallways a moment later. "Woah what's wrong?" She worried, kneeling next to me as I sat on the floor, back leaned against the wall and knees tucked into my chest.

"Sorry, sorry" I started to quickly wipe away my tears as I looked at the blond haired girl before me. Her eyes were filled with sadness and worry for me as she took in my state.

"Thea, I know your not okay, just tell me what's wrong" she begged, sitting next to me.

"They won't stop" I leaned my head on her shoulder.

"Who?"

"The voices, the screams" I sighed out a simple explanation.

"Hey uh" the voice of a boy called out, stopping immediately at the sight before him. "Oh uh I'll go" he pointed off, about to walk away.

"Wait, what do you want?" I took my head off Emily's shoulder to look up at him.

"I was just going to ask where we would be staying." Zachary spoke up, avoiding looking at my small shaking figure.

"I'll go set that up now. Thea, you gonna be okay?" Emily stood up.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm going to go call Flint" I pushed myself to stand. Emily and Zachary walked off, both of them looking back one last time before I dialled our other friend on the phone.

"Hey, what's up Thea?" Flints voice filled your ears.

"Well it's a long story but we may or may not have brought some kids from the future to the lighthouse" I winced, waiting for his reaction.

"Hang on, you did what?"

"Three kids are at the lighthouse with us now and they claim that they are from the year 2095. Emily called our parents but it's just a lot to deal with" I rambled slightly, really needing to get that off my chest.

"Okay okay um, go back to your dorm and I'll meet you there tomorrow. Do you have any classes?" He questioned.

"No we have the day off. We are coming over first thing when we wake up and our parents should be here around noon" I explained the plan.

"Alright, I'll see you then. And Thea? Try to get some sleep" he kindly reminds you.

"I will, don't worry about me" I ended the call, a slight smile on my face after having that comforting talk with Flint.

"Hey uh, your friend said that I could find some blankets in FitzSimmons room" Zachary walks from around the corner as if he was waiting for me to end the call. I just nodded with a sigh and lead the way. "So is this base still in use?" He questioned as we made our way down the empty halls.

"No, it hasn't been used in 7 years"

"What were you two doing here then?"

"Detention"

"Why'd you get detention?"

"Do you ever not talk?" I snapped with sudden anger.

"Nope and you better get used to it because I have a feeling that we will be spending a lot more time together" he smirked proudly. I groaned in frustration, throwing my hands in the air before continuing onto FitzSimmons room.

"Here, the blankets should be in the closet" I opened the door and made my way to grab supplies. While I did that he was looking around the room at the items that had been left behind.

"Is this you?" He held up a photo from inside a folder. I stared blankly at the photo, heart rate increasing as the memories began to flood back in.
