Gwendolyn's POV

"Isaac Neuton?" Leasley repeated through the phone what I just told her. "Isn't he the guy with the apple and gravity?"

"Yes, but apparently he is also the one who calculated Charlotte's birthday." I was at the shop looking for aunt Maddie's candies while talking with Leasley, updating her about my situation. The annoying thing is that no one even considers the possibility Neuton is wrong! But of course they don't, it's Neuton for crying out loud! But he has to be wrong Leasley. I was born a day after Charlotte but I traveled, not her."

"It's sooo weird. Gosh this thing is taking its time to get logged in... COME ON! MOVE FASTER YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT!! UGH!!" Yeap, Leasley is cursing her computer for being slow.

"Leasley it really was so weird. I almost talked to a relative of mine who is most likely dead now! Or I would end up I an asylum, like those we watch in movies.... Imagine me in the asylum of 'wrong turn 4'..."

"Oh my god you need to tell your mom! And go home quickly! That could happen again any time soon!"

"I know.. Crazy right?"

"Totally! Okay the computer finally logged in. I'm gonna google Neuton. You go home! We don't know if this shop was here in the past centuries. What if there was a big hole there and you fall 12 meters down?"

"Oh god grandma will have a heart attack when she hear that..."

"Yeah... And poor Charlotte. All these years learning stuff about this thing and now it turns out she doesn't even has the gene... Oh I found it, Neuton. Born in 1643, died in 1727 in London, blah blah blah... Nothing about time traveling... Are you out of the shop yet?"

"Yeah, just got out." I said walking out of the shop holding the bag with aunt Maddie's lemon candies. "By the way, I can't tell anyone, they will think I'm crazy."

Leasley snorted over the phone. "Gwen, any other family would think you're crazy, but not yours! The only thing they are talking about is time traveling! Wait up, I'll google 'time machine'."

I sighed while trying to pass through the crowd of people in the Main Street. "Aunt Glenda will say I made the whole thing up to get attention."

"So what? She will know she is wrong when you disappear again."

"And what if I don't travel again? What if... What if it's a temporary thing... Maybe it will stop..."

"Are you trying to convince me, or yourself ringtone now? Come on Gwen, we both know it will happen again. Well, all I found for 'time machine' is a thing like a watch which you can find on eBay... Damn it, okay, I'll google Isaac Neuton with time machine and blood and time traveling!"

"So..."

"Nothing..." Leasley sighed. "I will go to the library to get us books on the subject. I've got a library card that hasn't been used since last year. where are you now?"

"Almost home, why? Are you planning on coming over here with a chalk to make a cross in case the line goes dead? I don't even know what this cross is about..."

"Probably they would send this other traveler to find her? What's his name again?"

"Gideon De Villais."

"Awe sexy name he has... I'll google him.. How do you spell it?"

"How am I supposed to know? Let's go back to the cross... Where would they send Gideon? They can't know in which date they should send him right? I mean, Charlotte could be anywhere, any minute, any hour, any year, any century... This cross thing is useless..."
