Timeshifters: Special Edition (WIA1YR Winner: Best Sci-Fi Story)

ACT III

[Olivia POV]

I fall at rapid speeds, closing my eyes, hoping that I would die quickly. Suddenly, my body begins to feel a rush of energy, as if it was my soul trying to escape. The energy that I felt, sprinted through my body, like a current. A whirling field of arua then wraps around me and I vanish in thin air. I then reappear on top of the roof, where Kyle is.

"What the... Holy shit!" I exclaimed.

"Beautiful, wasn't it?" Asks Kyle.

"Yes, dangerously beautiful." I reply.

"You have much to learn about your powers." Says Kyle.

"I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around this." I say.

"With time comes acceptance, with acceptance comes truth." Says Kyle.

"Meaning?" I ask, with confusion.

"In time, you will see for yourself." Says Kyle.

2 hours later, I am in my room, lifting weights, while thinking about my revealed heritage, and my newfound status as a shifter.

"My family, protected me from the truth about my grandfather, but they were really preparing me for a life that I was not expecting. A life of protecting the world, through the essence of time." I say to myself.

I then exit my room, only to find Joshua, working at his computer station.

"So, all you do here is work at your computer table?" I ask him.

"No, this isn't all I do, but it's what I like doing the most, except for long walks on the beach and video games." Joshua says, while I chuckle.

Arthur then asks me, "So, where are you from?"

I then reply, "From down under, born and raised."

Arthur then says. "Wow, Australia. I've been there, had a great exotic vacation, good food, great people, it was nice."

"So, where are you from?" I ask Arthur.

"I was born in New Zealand, but I was raised in London. My old saint of a mom, used to be a Tailor, she used to make the best suits and dresses you would ever see." Arthur replies.

"If there is one thing about my mom, she would put her heart into her work, if they did not like it, she would say, 'Well, take it or leave it, that's what you asked for.' She was a no nonsense woman." Says Arthur.

"Well, how did you become a Shifter?" I ask.

"My mother was born as one, but she had no idea." Arthur replies.

"What happened to your mum?" I ask.

"She died of natural causes, it was a heartattack." Says Arthur.

"I'm sorry." I say to him.

"Thanks kid." Says Arthur.

"What's that you're making?" I ask him.

"Your Timewatch. It will help you focus your time powers." Says Joshua.

"So this piece of jewelry, keeps our powers in check?" I ask.

"Yeah, but if what Kyle says about you is true, when the time comes, you won't need it anymore." Says Joshua.

"I have a question, if we reverse time, do we change a certain portion of the timelines course?" I ask.

"Yes, which is why we only reverse time back at least five minutes. Any further, we risk changing the future, and altering the past." Says Joshua.
