Robin and Harry looks at me, infected by the panic I'm feeling right now.

"OH GOSH WHAT'S THE MATTER SWEETIE?!"

"T-THOSE TICKING SOUNDS! THEY'RE RINGING MY EARS!" I complained.

"Oh kid! You shouldn't be scared at all!" declared a male voice.

I think I could see the reason why you should panic said Harry.

I looked around and saw that the blue clock from earlier has a face! He's now looking straight into my soul, which is freaking me out. What does he want from us?

"I don't think we should be just hanging around here, wasting time," said the clock, who now suddenly has limbs.

"Why shouldn't just stay hanged on the wall?" Harry asked sarcastically.

"No no no," answered the clock. "I have a feeling you should know about the importance of time, especially one of you!"

Getting a hint of what he might meant, I decided to leave the room. But every time I stepped, the more I felt like everything around me are shifting in a very weird way. The floor beneath my feet was starting to melt. I suddenly felt my head spin. Before I could close my eyes and accept the fate of me falling into eternity, I saw a huge man in front of me.

His skin is blue and his hair is jet black with bits of yellow. He wears dark blue tailcoat glittered with what looked like stars from the night sky paired with black trousers and black shoes. What bothers me is the fact that his moustache and nose are red but his small beard is yellow.

"Let me see your past," said the man.

My past contains memories of me being mistreated in school. It also contains memories of begging Robin and Harry to tell me who my real parents are. I don't wanna show this man everything about me that I don't want anyone else to know.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" I yelled.

I tried to run away but the floor beneath me has completely disappeared and now I'm seemingly falling into endless space. Luckily, I somehow managed to land onto some kind of yellow conveyor belt. And at a distance I saw my foster dads!

"MANNY!"

"OH MY DEAR BOY THERE YOU ARE!"

Both of them saw me as well. We all tried our best to run toward each other but the conveyor belt beneath our feet was constantly moving in one direction. As I was about to finally get near Harry and Robin, the conveyor moved faster and I started to fall.

"NOOOOOOOOO MANNY!" shouted Robin.

"PAPA! HELP!" I cried before I eventually fell into someone's arms.

I flew through a blurry motion of pictures I couldn't tell what and fell over again. Looking around, I realized I'm at a rooftop. And near a door leading downstairs are the past version of Robin, Harry, and me! I looked up the sky and spot the winged tigers coming nearer.

The first thing that came in my mind, I have to save our past selves from those assholes. "RUN N...!"

The human clock grabs my arm before I could run near the 3 of them. He then pulls me further back deeper in the past and then stopped in a forest near a familiar-looking waterfall. Out of the waterfall came human young adult versions of Harry and Robin who was carrying a baby. Was that baby...me?

Sadly, before I could take a closer look at the baby, I got pulled back again into the past until I landed inside a certain house. At a distance, I hear crying of a baby. Some of the furnitures were stumbled on the ground. Few windows were broken. This is probably the time my parents' house was invaded and I was carried away to safety.
