Abby sits in medical, looking around. Last time she was in camp, Callie was alive. She's dead now.

Lincoln walks in and sits down by her. "Abby."

"Hey Lincoln." Abby says.

"You guys can't fight Azgeda. You'll lose." Lincoln says.

"I know that but we don't exactly have a choice." Abby says turning to look at him.

"What if you did?" Lincoln asks.

"What are you talking about?" Abby asks.

"There's a rumor. It's been passed through the generations of my people. If you could go back in time would you?" He asks.

Abby sighs, "Lincoln. Time travel is impossible. You got me excited for nothing."

"Just listen. There's a rumor that there is a time machine in these woods. If you could find it, you could go assassinate Azgeda, wipe them out before any of this happened." Lincoln says.

"Fine. Tell me more." Abby says.

"Okay this time machine is rumored to be a tall, wooden box. This guy is rumored to be inside of it and he supposedly will take whoever finds him for a spin in his time machine."

"Alright. So how do I find him?" Abby asks.

"That's the thing. Take a guess where you gotta go?"

Abby sighs, "Azgeda."

"Yeah." Lincoln says before he hands Abby a journal.

"Lincoln. This is your journal." Abby says shoving the journal back towards him.

"I know." Lincoln says, "hopefully, this will help you find him."

"Wait, if I leave and Azgeda attacks, you will all die." Abby says.

"We will die if you stay here. You have to go find him. Hopefully you can-" they are interrupted by the sound of gunshots.

"What was that?" Abby asks.

People run down the hallways in panic. Murphy sticks his head in the door, "Abby! It's Azgeda. They're here!" He yells.

"No." Abby says, "they weren't supposed to be here until-"

"Well they came early! We got the gates shut but that won't hold them forever!" Bellamy yells as he enters the room. Two soldiers carry in a body.

Marcus.

Abby's heart drops. Everything becomes blurry and the voices are muffled as Abby stumbles to the ground.

Everyone is shouting her name as the men place Marcus on the table but Abby doesn't hear.

Abby's mind is in pieces. She lets a couple tears roll down her face before she completely lays down on the floor.

It's been about thirty minutes since they brought Marcus in. Abby sits against the wall looking at him. His lifeless body lays on the table.

Lincoln sits down by Abby, "Abby. You can still save him."

"No I can't. Lincoln he's dead and what's worse is the last conversation I had with him, I might as well said that I hated his guts." Abby says.

Lincoln hands Abby the journal. "If you don't try, no one will. Stay strong." Lincoln says.

Abby leans her head back against the wall.

If you don't try

No one needs her.

No one will.

It's just a rumor anyway.

Stay strong.

Abby sighs as she gets up and goes to pack her bag. Once she is all packed, she walks over to Marcus. She puts her hand over his forehead. He's starting to turn cold.

"I'm sorry. This is all my fault. I promise Marcus. I'm going to fix this. I'm going to save you." Abby says then places a light kiss on his lips, "I love you."

With that Abby sneaks out one of the back panels of Arkadia and begins her journey to find the mysterious time traveler.

On her way through the woods, Abby stops and looks back. She hears a big crash which must be the gate crashing down.

Azgeda broke through the gate.

She hears screams, women and children alike as Azgeda tears trough the camp. Abby sees smoke after awhile of watching and soon sees a red flame.

Arkadia is gone.

Abby is so tired but finally comes to Azgeda land. It took her way longer than it should have but she was forced to take the long way around to Azgeda.

She comes to a stream near a cave and stops to take a break. She pulls out Lincoln's notes.

"It should be right here." Abby says to herself.

Abby decides to rest for the night since the sky was beginning to darken so she walks inside the cave. The only problem was the cave never ended. It wasn't a cave. It was a tunnel. She followed it out to the other side. There was a puddle of water covering the whole ground and a slightly raised up piece of concrete. What shocked Abby was what was standing on the concrete.

A tall, wooden, blue box.

So I did a crossover. Oh well. Any fans of my wooden blue box? It's from the show [spoiler] if anyone guesses what show it's from then they will get to pick who the time traveler is. Only rule is it has to be one of the time travelers from that show. I'll explain more if someone guesses it right. 😉😉❤️
