BOOK 3: I Need You

Time Machine 13

It was dark but two lights shined down on two chairs. 

"Paul!" I said. Me and Maria rushed forward to our sleeping friends.

"careful girls." The officer said. 

 We walked up to them. Paul's hazel eyes were covered by his eyelids, with long eye lashes curled up. He was breathing thankfully and John was sleeping too. I shook Paul, he didn't wake. 

"Paul?" I whispered.

He mumbled and his eye lids split open. He smiled at me. "Hello Babe."

"Step back girl." The officer told me and he produced a long...something. 

"Whats that?" I asked.

"It goes through metal." He explained.

We watched as the sparks flew everywhere. Paul lifted his hands off then his feet were undone. I rushed to him once he was standing. John was freed next.

"Oh Paul!" I hugged him.

"Im okay." He said and stroked my hair.

"Do you want to get the others out of the cage?" Maria asked

"Sure." I said.

"We have to look for that time machine." I said to my self. 

We walked quietly into a door. The officer pulled out his light. and shown it around the room. We spotted at big box, on the front it read Time Machine. 

"There it is!" Maria said.

"Lets get the others. Officer can you what here?" I asked.

"Sure." He said and we left for the chambers. 

"Do you  have a bobby pin?" Maria asked.

"No, wouldn't you?" John replied.

"I do." The girl from the cell said and stuck her hand out to hand us a pin.

"Thank you..." Maria took it staring at her.

"Something wrong?" She asked.

"Aren't you..." Maria started to say.

"Yes i am Linda." She smiled.

Maria hurried up and pick locked the lock and opened it.

"Your good." John grinned.

"Now lets do all of them." I said,

"Lets get George and Ringo." Paul said looking at Linda with interest.

"Come ed...shes to early for you." I tugged him to George and Ringo's cell 

Once we got the ones that we knew out we went to the room we had left.

"Here you all go. Back to your times." I said.

"Thanks guys." Larry Hovis shook our hands.

"They can go in at the same time. They'll be sent to their times." The officer said reading from a piece of paper.

"Okay, gear! Good bye." We said. They got in.

The door was shut and the officer looked at the piece of paper and mumbled something then pressed a few buttons. Then we heard a big zap! the doors dung open and it was empty.

"At least we saved them!" I smiled and hugged Paul who was standing there amazed.

"Hanna, did you notice that all the people that we sent back, were, dead?" Maria pointed out.

I stared at Maria. "Your right!" I never thought id meet Michael Jackson. He's nice to talk to. especially, Larry Hovis, and Linda McCartney! Though i didn't get to talk to her much. Paul took my hand and we started to walk out. 

"Officer you can go. We might just look around." John said.

"It'd be dangerous."

"Give us a gun!" 

"Sorry, but ill do it. Be care ful though." He said and walked away.

"John cant we leave to." George asked.

"Yeah, i don't want to be here anymore!" Ringo agreed.

"But its fun!"

"No it aint!" George said.

"Fine lets go." We started to walk.

"Wait." We heard a ghostly voice say. 

We all turned around quickly, standing there was a transparent person with flowing hair and a white glowing dress.

"They must go back to." It said.

"But why!" Maria asked.

"You were looking for some way to get them back, and they cant continue in this century much longer. Something bad will happen."

"Who are you?"

"I am no spirit, simple a recording. But see." She suddenly lost her glow and lights came on and we saw a girl with long blond hair and a brown dress.

"I am person." She said ."But only in your imagination. You all are imaginating the same thing. But back to the discussion. These boys must go back."

"But why!" I asked and looked at Paul.

"I told you."

"I don't want to go back." Paul said his hazel eyes were filling with tears.

"You must, But i will bargain with you."

"Bargain?" Maria asked.

"Not exactly, but you two are allowed to go back, but only if you want to. And you will be in AMerica."

"But will we see them again?" i asked a tear rolled down my face.

"I can arrange that."

"But couldn't you make us be in Liverpool and grow up with them?" i asked.

"I can try, but i cant guarantee you."

"Try hard!" John said.

"What about just sending us to our wedding?" Paul asked.

"Oh, well, i think so you wish?"

"yes!"

"Fine."

"Will we see our friends?" Maria asked.

"No."

"Can we come back if we want."

"Possibly. But do you want to go back or stay here?"

I turned to Paul who was dropping tears from his bent head. He wipped his eyes and sniffed then looked at me.

"Paul," I begain to say i was holding back the tears.

"Yes?"

I breathed out. "I don't know what to do. Stay here, or, or be with you."

Paul grabbed me and held me close. His hands clenched my shirt. 

"What would you want to do?" He asked.

I shook my head. "I don't know."

"You and Maria may talk about it." The girl said.

I looked at Maria and we went to the corner.

"What should we do." She asked.

"Im not sure, stay here or go with them."

"What would you do?"

"I would..."
