Why Me? (Book 1 of Time Memory) #Wattys2015

2 - Making Sense

After the AEDB, we decided to hang out a little bit before they go home.

"So what's this dream of yours about?" Reign said while eating something from my fridge. He's gonna pay for that.

"So first of all, it felt real. So here's what happpened."

I explained the dream to them. The monster, the world. And Ylona. I have no idea who she is but I have a feeling she's important. Like really important. I can't stop thinking about her.

"Maybe you're losing it." Jan joked.

"Now that's what I thought at first but with all of the alien stuff happening like that weird rock, my dream doesn't seem that weird anymore." I said.

"Maybe it's just nothing." Reign guessed.

"I hope so." I replied.

"Well now that's taken care of, I guess we're good to go." Jan said.

"Yeah, maybe you should. Go hang out with your girlfriend." I joked.

Jan feeling embarassed and blushing said "Hey man, you know Diamond ain't my girl friend. She's sort of like that Ylona girl in your dream." He joked back.

"Shut up." I walked them to the door.

"See you." I said.

"See you later Ylona!" They both shouted.

"Shut up!" I shouted back.

And then something was knocking from the ceiling.

"Keep it down, you hooligans!" The old man from the apartment upstairs shouted.

"Sure, old man!" I answered.

5 months later

"Damn, they sure made good use of the rocks, huh?" I said while looking down at the new hoverboards made with the rocks from the meteors that crashed here.

There was a total of 14 meteors that crashed here since that dream. I still can't stop wondering about that girl. I tried to draw a sketch of her from my memory. I think it's one of my masterpieces.

"They sure did." NDre said.

NDre is another one of my friends from school. His real name is Rex Andre.

"Where's Ryan anyway?" he asked.

"Probably out there flirting with girls out of his league." I joked.

"There he is!" NDre said pointing to Ryan and he's crossing the street.

And as he said that I spaced out. I coudn't see anything. My vision was black. When I regained my vision, I saw two men.

"Who are you?! What am I doing here?!" I asked furiously.

"Calm down. We have brought you here to give you these. Give us your hand." One of them said.

Hesitantly, I reached out. They gave me 2 keys. Like 2 KEYS.

"What the hell am I gonna do with these?" I asked.

"You'll know what these are for, at the right time. Use it when you are in danger, throw the bigger key into the air and shout Timiscuous. We will explain the smaller key to you the next time we meet." The other body said.

"Danger? What danger? And how does a key help with that?" I asked.

"Do not doubt the power of the Power Keys. Unfortunately, your friend Ryan will be in an accident shortly." The first body said.

"What accident?" I asked again.

"Car. Get it? He will be hit by a car in 5 seconds after you get back." The second one said.

"Yeah, sure." I said with a little mixture of sarcasm.

"Don't believe us? Ok, just don't make us regret giving you those keys." They both said, at the same time which was kind of creepy.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now take me ba-"

Before I can finish, my vision went black. AGAIN. When I came back to my world, I felt dizzy. It was silent, and then I suddenly heard a sound. A car's tire rubber burning. Then I suddenly remembered what the two dudes said.

After 5 seconds, one of my friends will be hit. Without hesitation, I ran towards Ryan pushing him out of the way.

"You okay, man?" I asked Ryan.

"Yeah, thanks." Ryan said. NDre was running towards us.

"Guys, what the hell happened? And Earl, how did you know exactly that the car was coming?" NDre asked.

"Lucky guess?" I said.

I checked my back pocket and there it was, the two keys. I thought I was just daydreaming but with the car and the keys, no way it was that. I think my dream 5 months ago is about to make a lot of sense.
