Not My Time

I'm When?

The Voices that woke me belonged to a group of men wearing red coats on horseback they all looked to be late 20's and older. They came to a stop when the lead man saw me. He had longer hair than most men in my time a deep voice with a British accent. 

"Look what we have here men a young lady." He said, "What are you doing here and what are you wearing?" He said as he looked me up and down. I knew right away from their attire and plenty of books tv shows and movies that I definitely wasn't in the 21 century anymore. 

"I asked you a question, are you going to answer me." he raised his voice but I didn't say anything yet I was hoping this was a dream I would soon wake up from.

"Well?" he spoke again this time I responded.

"This is my nightwear." My voice came out shaky and quiet.

"Those are strange nightwear I've never seen anything like that before, how'd you get out here anyway?" there was no point in telling them the truth they would only think I'm insane so I didn't speak.

"We have a shy one, what should we do with her?"  A man to his left asked. He was a bit taller an awkward tall unusual for this time. His voice was nasally and quite repulsive to listen to.

"I have an idea," the man to his right with a gruff voice said, "We have been at battle and away from beautiful women for quite a while and now we have one right here and in her strange nightwear." The other men behind him cheered.

"Alright, alright, I suppose we can each have a quick go before we move on." With that, they cheered even louder. But that wasn't good for me there were 6 of them and only one of me. the leader got down off his horse and started towards me undoing his pants.

"Alright, little lady come here and be a good girl for us." He reached for me and I took that moment to scream as loud as I could which Jules would say could sound like a banshee. They all flinched and the one closest to me covered his ears. I started to run but I wasn't fast enough and it didn't help that I was barefoot. The man easily caught me.

"You should not have done that I was hoping we could do this the easy way but it looks like you want to do it the hard way." He had a hold of my wrist and was pulling me towards him, so I did the only logical thing I could think of at the moment, I turn towards him to get a better shot and punched him square in the nose. He let go of me as he cried out in pain.If I ever got back to my time I would have to thank Jules for dragging me to Karate. Then one after another the others started to dismount their horses and walk to me.

I was able to successfully kick some of them in their privet area and get some punches in but there were too many for me to fight off especially when they all came at me at once. the two men who were on either side of the lead grabbed my arms I tried to pull free but their grips were too strong they pulled me over to a fallen tree forced me to my knees and bent me over the stump. the other men were laughing as the lead man approached.

He pulled my pajama pants down and was reaching for my underwear. This is it I thought this is going to be the worst day of my life, but then there were more sounds of hoofbeats coming this way. Great I thought more men to come and rape me. Then the men started shouting and grabbing their guns and the men holding me let go and left me on the stump. I stood up pulling my pants up and then made a break for it. 

I ran as fast as I could though it hurt like hell on my bare feet. I took a moment to look back which wasn't a good Idea as I tripped over a tree root that was sticking up out of the ground. Then gravity did its thing and I fell bracing myself for impact. I hit the ground hard luckily for me I had a high pain tolerance making the recovery faster.

I rolled over so I  was now on my back with my eyes closed that is when I heard a voice.

"Are you alright?" I could tell it belonged to a male, just great.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I manage to say as I sat up opening my eyes.

"Well, that was a pretty nasty fall you took." The voice got closer.

"Yeah well I am not weak and I have a high pain tolerance, thank you very much."

"Why are you thanking me I haven't done anything?" Right, I'm not in the 21 century anymore nobody will understand what I mean by that.

"Oh, it's uh no-nothing." I stammer as the guy the voice belongs to steps in front of me. He was younger than the guys I ran into earlier. He wore the typical clothing of men for this time period he had brown hair that came a little above his shoulders and these piercing blue eyes. He was pretty good looking for being from the 18th century.

As I was somewhat looking him over he seemed to be doing the same to me. He reached his hand out to me I took It and he pulled me up. He was probably close to a foot taller than me.

"So do you mind if I ask what a girl like you is doing out in the woods in such weird clothing Especially during a time like this?"

"It is a long story and you probably would just think I am crazy so let us just skip the whole why I am here and get to the how  do I get out part."

"Well, I could escort you out of the woods and to your house." Crap I Have nowhere to go what do I tell him, and more importantly how do I get back to my time. He was looking at me expectantly waiting for me to say something so I quickly thought up a lie.

"I would love that but the thing is my family is dead we were attacked at night I just barely made it out that is why I am wearing this weird clothing it is my nightwear. So now I have no home." He looks at m with sympathy in his eyes.

"If you have nowhere to go then you can stay with my family. But first, let me have a look at your knees they are bleeding." With all that was happening, I guess I Hadn't noticed the pain in my knees until now so I let him bandage my knees. A minute later a few other men came to where we were. one younger and one older.

"Are you the girl that we heard scream?" The older one asks, I just nod my head. Then the guy next to me spoke.

"Her family is dead she has nowhere to go father."

"Well then you shall stay with us we have space."

"Thank you, sir."

" No need for formalities you can call me John. These are my two of my boys Charles he is the oldest."He points to the man next to him. " And he would be Stephen he is a few years younger than Charles, And you would be?"

"Kira," I state bluntly as if it was the most obvious thing in the world."This is a weird question but what day is it?" I ask curiously.

"It is June 15, 1773."

*Longer chapter I know Lot of stuff happens but didn't want to cut it off earlier.
