Forward and backwards in time- a time travelers story

Not everything was as it seems

Emily's day was quite normal , well at first she thought...of course there was a lot she didn't know...
Emily had just finished her school day and was on her way home , of course she did not have as much need to rush so she took her time getting home. To make the walk home interesting she would walk through the park. It would always seem to clear Emily's mind .
Then as if by magic she stumbled upon a glimmering stop watch ...the thing itself on the outside was quite old and rustic. However the inside was very different...as in it was not like your average stop watch.
Of course at first she brushed it off as a normal everyday stopwatch. "This could be useful I guess .." Emily said to herself thoughtfully. And with that she picked it up dusted off the dirt and placed it inside her bag and off she went to home.

She came into the house and closed the door behind her making a big slam. "Oh heavens my dear shhh .... your back I see ?' her mother said. "Yes mother , as always ...on the dot" she said sarcastically. As you can see Emily didn't have a particularly strong relationship with her mother but with her father . She would rarely see him as he was a scientist who worked in a far away laboratory something she dreamt of doing as an adult . Of course lucky for her, he was home for the week.

In he came into the room sweeping her off her feet and spinning her around. Yes, Emily was too old for this however she did feel happiness when he did . " My madmozelle , my princess, dear Emily how are you ? "He asked cheerfully. Emily with a big smile replied " I am feeling great father ! ". " Heh great my dear that's great to hear " he said tunefully. And with that Emily went out to her bedroom, her soul place , the one room she had all the privacy and quietness in the world . As usual Emily sat doing revision for her tests, oh how she enjoyed quizzes however tests weren't her favourite actually.

After an hour of revision she remembered the stop watch and picked it up. Suddenly she noticed a latch on the side of it and quiried what it was for . So with that she opened it to find some interesting buttons labeled forward and backward. At first she thought the obvious that it meant to move tje handles. But on second thoughts she thought it should have been a dial instead. But as not to argue in her head she chose to click the backward button and with that she suddenly felt a strange feeling...like time was running behind her....
