Time

Chapter 1

Pain. Pain was the only thing Jacob could feel and see. As he stood standing there, watching his best friend make out with girlfriend, tears welled up in his eyes and streamed down his cheeks, and finally crash down onto the ground. He picked up the nearest pebble and hurled it towards the duo with the highest aggression possible inside a human being, and sprinted back towards the orphanage. Jacob was a 13 year old blonde haired boy who lived in the north of London. He was an orphan ever since his parents split up, and since neither wanted him the orphanage he was sent. He was a handsome and athletic boy with baby blue eyes. He had multiple freckles on his face and quite short hair. But he had a deep dark secret. He had the power of time travel and teleportation. Ever since his parents had split up he had the power of time travel, so every night when everyone else in the orphanage he would go and visit a different time period, whether that was first century Britain, 10th century Asia, 17th century Russia or 20th century Germany, he could go there and do anything. But this was the day when they all went

After texting his girlfriend, Maddie, that she was dumped he sat in his cockroach-ridden bed with holes and springs and cried. He cried until he could cry no more, as his was the closest that he had ever gotten to having someone to love and care for him, so he decided, after multiple hours of crying on his bed he decided that he would go to the 19th century Rome as this was the time of romance and love so he could see that eventually someone would come along. But as he time travelled through time he saw no-one at all, not one Roman whatsoever, as normally they are filled with thousands of Romans painting and dancing . Jacob was astounded that all the people had vanished but as he looked at the buildings, he saw that they were just fading away as if time was collapsing onto itself.  But just as he was about to travel back he heard deafening footstep coming round the corner and the sound of heavy and distorted breathing, and decided to go before this strange human got to him but try as he could he couldn't teleport back to his time. That was when he knew that this strange person  wasn't letting go back to his time period, so he quickly hid behind a building that hadn't faded away, luckily, but as the creature stepped round the corner, Jacob saw that this being was an animal that had horns and green, ugly and scaly skin. Due to his knowledge of mythical creatures he know that this was a troll, as it was trailing a enormous tree trunk.

Jacob stood behind the building, trembling like tiny mouse, overlooked by a huge lion waiting for the perfect moment to pounce at you. That was when the wormhole appeared. Wormholes can take you anywhere in time that you wish, so Jacob knew this had to be his way out of here, so at blazing speed he ran out from behind the building towards the wormhole. The troll saw him and thundered towards him, globules of saliva flying out of his enormous and revolting mouth. Jacob was approximately 1 km from the wormhole but even then Jacob could just make out that the wormhole was shrinking very slowly, but there was a chance that he could just miss the wormhole, but even at that pace the troll was quickly catching up, but now he was just 500m away from the wormhole but from here, he could hear the troll's thunderous footsteps catching up with him. But now he was only 250m away from the wormhole but now he could here the troll's heavy and distorted breathing, but soon he was only 100m away but now the wormhole was tiny and the troll wouldn't be able to fit through but would he make it in time to make through. Now he could just reach out and touch the wormhole but he could feel the troll's fingertips on his back , so he did a spin dive through the hole and he felt the wormhole close on the soles of his feet and he heard the troll smash into the closed wormhole and before he knew it he was launched out of the wormhole onto his bed and before his head had the pillow, or what was left of it, he was out cold
