The scorching desert sun burned onto the back of my head, radiating through my dirty red curls. Now I already did not like the sun very much, because it made me look like a damn lobster.. But now I don't have much choice. I was tied up and thrown over the back of a horse, behind some cowboy guy that thought he was almighty or something. Let me tell you, I wasn't having it. I was thirsty, felt my skin burning off and the hobble of this horse's step made me feel nauseous. "Oi, mister cowboy, Sir?" My voice cracked because of my dry throat and I lifted my head to look at him. I couldn't see him well, but I did see his broad shoulders and one of his strong arms holding his horse's lead. He didn't react to my words and continued to stare straight in front of him. "Oi, fucker!" My voice cracked again, but at least was a little louder.he stopped his horse abruptly and looked over his shoulder, down to me, his piercing blue eyes staring daggers at me. "What did you call me, little lady?" His voice was low and raw. if i had not been in this.. awkward position, i might would've liked it.
"I called you a fucker. let me go!" he cocked a brow at me as soon as the words left me, and a hint of irritation formed in his eyes. "Listen little girl. I'm just returning you from where you came from. So quit yapping." He turned back around, tapping his horse on its side with his heels. It started moving again, I didn't know if it was a boy or a girl. And how did he know where I came from? That's not public information. And even if it was, I probably would've been seen as a crazy ass woman. I sighed and groaned loudly before speaking again. "can i at least have some water?". My question was clear, but he continued right on. I think I just lost my water privileges here.. But hey! I know you're probably wondering how I got into this icky situation. So I'll tell you, while I'm still stuck on this horse. Right now I have all the time in the world.. So let's start at the beginning shall we?!
My name is Audrey Morrison. I also have a middle name, but that's none of your business. I was born on April 6th 2154. Which makes me 23 years old today. Sort of. I still live with my parents because housing is very expensive, and besides. They dont mind. My dad's job is unlike any other. The man is a time traveller. For a job! I know. crazy right? But yeah anyway, icky situation. It started on sunday June 25th. I was at home with my family, just chilling, watching some netflix with the family on our holo screen. But then the weirdest thing happened.. My father, Thomas Morrison, looked my way and then asked me who the hell I was?! My mother then asked the same question to him, and right then and there it clicked for my dad. Since he travelled through time often to protect the timeline, he figured that one of our ancestors might be in danger.. And let me tell you.. that's not good. We could disappear from the timeline forever!
So my dad and I came up with a plan.. he would try to still get into his work and find out whose life was in danger. And that's how he found out that he had to go back all the way to the old wild west.. yeah cowboys and shit. Looks like our ancestor got killed on September 18th 1877.. So he had to go and stop it.
he gathered a team consisting out of a historian, some muscle, his good friend Alexander and.. me.. i wasn't supposed to come, but my dad feared i might never reappear when he fixes the timeline.. So now I was dressed in boots, a pair of tightfitting trousers, a corset, a long coat and a hat.Now just my luck.. When we travelled we were all supposed to go to a town called Tombstone in the Arizona desert. if that's not a fun place to go.. To this day it's still habited and lots of tourists come to see the old classic wild west town.. But we had to go back.. 300 years in time..
