"We were cursed to become rocks and a fish by Maharishi durvasa "the second woman said .
"But why ?" Anne asked
"Sometimes things are bound to happen. No matter how much you try to stop the situation around you ,what is written in your Niyati will happen"
The man spoke
"Can you please elaborate " Anne asked
"When the time comes you'll know"
The first woman said as her eyes drifted to the sun sinking into the horizon.
"What's up with these people and their mysterious words "Anne started thinking.
"You have freed us from the curse which we have been suffering for the last 20,000 years and for that we are very thankful to you. You have our blessings but now it's time for us to depart ".The man said as he pulled Anne out of her thoughts and no more three seconds later,they turned into a white light and ascended to the sky.
"Well ,that happened so fast".she took another thirty minutes to process whatever she had just witnessed. The sun has set and now the night sky is filled with bright stars twinkling ,a smooth breeze sways through the lake .The chirping of crickets could be heard .Laying on the grass she pulled the locket out of her coat and started caressing it .It was an old clock locket (Idk what that's called ) probably from the 19th century,as she started admiring the intricate designing and precision of its details she started remembering the events that led her here in this forest.
Flashback
"At Least eat some bread , it's not good to travel on an empty stomach you know"Dr Rai said he finished his breakfast.
"Fine" she said lazily as she took two slices of bread and put it in her coat pocket.
"Remember to dye your hair black as soon as the current dye fades away"
"Okay, I'll remember"
"And make sure to not lose the locket unless you want to be stuck in a different timeline.It will help you in coming back " Dr Rai said as kept
" Okay,I will make sure of it." Anne sighed as her voice echoed through the metals of the underground Chamber and everything fell in silence . Built during the times of world war 2 to withstand nuclear bombings,this underground Chamber located in rural Idaho was made by Richard Williams,a wealthy businessman and architect at that time.As rich as he was,he was paranoid after hearing from one of his friends in the higher ranks of the American army that the Germans are trying to make an atomic bomb.As soon as heard that ,he started making his nuclear chamber.
Well,that was what was written in his diary found inside the Chamber. luckily no nuclear bombing happened in America at that time but the Chamber still stood there to this day and nobody here seems to know about.It was hidden well in the basements floor until Professor Rai bought this home and found about it .
"And also don't worry about the time ,you may spend hundreds of time there but when you return to the present only a day or two would have been passed here so even if you lost the necklace ,I would come to take you back if you don't return in two weeks " He said putting away the dishes and cleaning his table .after that he began checking the machine to make sure it's in good condition and is working properly .
"You told me that someone has to stay behind to operate the machine ,if it's not so then you should come with me"
"I can't" he said
"Then how will you come to get me if the locket gets lost"she asked
"Then I would have no other option but to call Dr Chandresh for help".he sighed .
To say that Anne was surprised would be an understatement .That was new of him , as far as Anne knew him and Dr Chandresh were enemies.like literal enemies,they wouldn't even stand each other's presence and would start bickering just how they show in animes, sometimes their interactions would just be like angsty teenagers suppressing their love for each other by insulting each other, Noticing his now spoiled mood ,she tried to change the topic.
