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

10 - End of The Beginning and Beginning of the End

We're here. Only thing to do is travel back in time, kill their leader, and save the world. No pressure. None at all.

"We're he-" She said. I covered her mouth.

"Shh. There's an alien coming. I can't time travel yet, I need rest. 2 minutes."

"Uhhhhh.... Earl?"

"Shh!"

"Earl!"

"What?!"

As I looked behind us, I knew why she was so worried. There were 3 aliens walking down the hallway behind us. And I knew it, they saw us. Or smelt us. I don't know.

"They're running towards us." Ylona said.

"Well then lets go!"

I grabbed her hand and ran. I brought out my sword as a protection to the alien in the other hallway headed out way. Before he could bring his guard up, well, lets just say that he didn't have enough time to bring it up.

"Can you travel now?"

"Don't know! I can travel but can I travel while we're running? I'll ask Blue!"

"Blue! Can I time travel while running?"

"It is rather difficult. You need to maintain your speed to time travel. For example, your car is at 88 mph. You need to stay at that speed to time travel."

"So basically like Back to the Future? Screw that!" I brought my bow and shot my arrow to the floor, igniting a wall of fire between us.

"Lets go, Ylona!"

I concentrated and again, we're back where we were a while ago. 6 years ago.

The side effects of traveling back 6 years must be pretty disorienting because I heard Ylona shout.

"Watch out!"

I looked at her and she fell on me. Like what you see in the movies. I never saw her face like this, with her hair hanging down her face. Her hair was always tied when she wakes me up. She was so beautiful. I didn't notice it before but she was like an angel. Like you can get lost in her deep blue eyes alone. She was blushing. I guess I was too because I was feeling hot internally. And then I realized something.

"I'm sorry. You okay?" She asked with that cute accent. I even forgot about the pain when she spoke.

"Ri-"

"What? I can't hear you."

"Ribs." I said painfully.

She quickly stood up saying "Oh, I'm sorry. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I wasn't breathing but I'm fine." I joked. "How about you?"

"I'm fine. Sorry about that by the way."

Wow, she was still blushing. I hope I didn't.

"Should we uhhhhh find their leader?"

"Sure. Where are we anyway?"

I didn't notice before, maybe because of what happened or maybe because I wasn't breathing. It was dark. Like really dark. Somehow we got the only working light bulb on top of us.

"Blue, we're here."

"Great. Now kill him."

"Easy there, I still don't know where he is."

"He's at the control room I think."

"Ok, thanks."

"Lets go Ylona."

"Okay."

I grabbed her hand and exited that dark room. Whatever that room was, I have feeling that we're gonna have trouble with it, soon.

"Wait, aliens coming."

"Want my handle?"

"What? Oh, the crossbow handle? No thanks, we'll just wait for them to pass."

When they passed, I quickly stabbed them both with my sword. I hid the bodies.

"Lets keep going."

We don't know where we were going. I hope we were not walking around in circles. We found one room that was interesting. It ws equipped with computers. More than your natural computer shop. I heard a whimper after we investigated the room.

"Earl!" Then I heard a thud.

"Ylona? Ylona, whats wrong?"

I grabbed my sword tight preparing for the worst. She was gone. Ylona.... Ylona was gone.

"Ylona?! YLONA!" I shouted and shouted but no reply.

Then a nearby computer lit up. It showed the face of an alien. But not like the others. His face was something. Like it was actually thinking something.

"Hello Mr. Hurricane. Nice name." Said the alien.
