Back to the future 4: Further adventures of Marty and Doc

Running into trouble

Marty knew his first priority was saving Doc. "It's no use Marty, in this time there was no such thing as medicine" Doc coughed in pain. "There's gotta be some help Doc, I can't let you die again!" Marty said trying to keep it together. "I'm gonna go look!" Marty says. "Stay in the car hidden, I'll hopefully be back with something" Marty said patting his back. "Stay out of trouble!" Doc said weakly. "Wait Marty, you can't go dressed like that! Take your gilet and shirt off" Doc said. "Check Doc" Marty said handing him the clothes. "We'll sort your shoes out later Doc smiled.

Marty began walking to hopefully find any sign of a town centre. He knew they were in the same place they were when they left 1985 but couldn't see much. He was at the top of a hill seeing some form of a house. He knew there must've been people nearby and went to walk down. He missed his step and fell down the hill hitting his head on the gate. "Not.. again" he groaned before fainting.

After 5 hours, he woke up again. "Mom? Is that you?" He groaned in pain. "Just relax, you've been asleep for almost 5 hours" a calming voice said to him dabbing a towel on his head. "I had a horrible nightmare. I dreamt I couldn't find any cure for my friend and he died, it was awful" Marty sighed. "Well, you're safe and sound now, back in good old 1500" the voice said. "1500?!" Marty yelled jumping up realising he was absolutely not in his time. "You're my- you're my" Marty paused realising the girl was around his age but didn't look any way related to him. "My names Erin" she smiled. "Erin?" Marty sighed confused. "Yes that's correct, and what's your name sir?" She asked curious. "Well it's Marty, Marty Mcfly" he smiled. "You hit your head mr Mcfly, but not too serious luckily I found you, but what were you doing out there on your own?" She asked. "Oh I was looking for a medication for my friend, he's been poisoned" Marty said realising how long he'd been out for knowing Doc wouldn't have a lot of time. He scrambled out of bed and put his shoes back on. "Thanks so much for your help!" Marty smiled. "Marty wait! There should be a shop in town for your friend!" She said smiling back. "Thanks again!" He smiled rushing off.

After about 20 minutes of walking and beginning to sweat he found a town centre. It looked like a worse version of the 1885 town. "Okay, I can do this" Marty said to himself. He walked through the town of buildings being put together looking for any sign of an Egyptian pharmacy. He remembered Erin's words and began to look. He saw a shop with the words "medication" on it. "Yes!" He said in relief approaching. "What'll it be stranger?" The man asked eyeing Marty with suspicion. "Er, do you have anything to help with radiation poisoning?" He asked. "Radiation? What the hell is that?" The man mocked. "Normal poisoning from things like snakes is here" he groaned slamming a vial down. "Thanks!" He said grabbing it running off without paying. "I'm coming doc!" Marty said not looking and bumping into a group of shady looking men. "Sorry!" Marty said running to the side but being stopped. "Ah ah ah, you're not going anywhere squirt" they mocked. "Please! I need to help my friend" Marty moaned trying to get through. "Hey lads, this one's quite handsome to be left alone don't you think?" The leader smirked. "I don't know what you want but let me through!" Marty complained. "Very well runt, but we'll be looking for you one day or another" they smirked pushing him to the ground. "No!" Marty panicked thinking the bottle would break but luckily he caught it. "Son of a bitch" Marty groaned brushing the dirt off him rushing back to Doc.
