Time Twist

Chapter 14 Cuts and Scrapes

                                                                   ****Claire****

My head was pounding, my vision was blurry, and I really just wanted to keep sleeping. Unfortunately, the "great outdoors" had a different plan. The wind was blowing like crazy causing all sorts of fun types of dirt and leaves to get in my face particularly in my eyes. I wake up to my eyes being super irritated and my face covered in wet, dead, and dirty leaves. 

" My eyes hurt, and what the fuck is on my face?" I reach to touch it and yes, to confirm it was, in fact, wet, dead, and dirty leaves. 

"Aren't you a happy camper!" Liz's morning voice was all too familiar to me, it was just as annoying as it was every other morning for the past decade of my life. As my groggy-ness wore off I remember all that happened.

" Holy Shit! How long have I've been asleep?" I jolted upright only to find that my body was sore all over. 

"About 4 days, you've drifted in and out of consciousness we gave you water you ate a bit-" Liz was cut off by my favorite smart alec, or better yet smart Alex(get it's a pun Hehe).

"However, you have not spoken until this moment" I turned my head to see Alexander shirtless with a bandage wrapped around his torso, he looked like a crappy magic mike mummy, except with pants thank Goodness. 

"Alexander You're..."

"Not dead, I am afraid being rid of me will take a bit more manpower, but anyway much obliged for your ability without it I would have a much worse complexion than I do now" 

"You would have no complexion without her magic you'd be decomposing by now" Liz corrected 

" You do have such a pleasant way with words Miss Elizabeth" Alexander retorted

"What have you guys done while I was sleeping?" I asked

"Just tried to keep you and Alexander comfy and fed, Luckily Alexander had a shit ton of stuff in his little sack" Liz stated, 

"Now Liz, there is no need to insult poor Alexander by calling his sack little" Liz and I let out a giggle and she high-fived me( raising my arms still hurt like a bitch), Alexander blushed and made no comment.

"I could retort however it is not a true gentlemen's place to comment on such vulgar talk in the presence of ladies."  His high and mighty posh answer only made Liz and I laugh more. "We should leave soon it is not safe to stay in one place unprotected, we need better weapons and it is apparent that you need plenty more training." 

" Um you still can't even sit up all the way, how the hell are you supposed to get us anywhere?" Liz questioned

" I believe that Claire will have to do it" A wave of panic hit me like a brick,

"What?NO?YOU CAN'T?NO!"

"Calm down, You just have to create a portal to another time and we shall wait there for a bit until I can open my own for us to go where we need to." Alexander comforts

"And where is it we need to go?" asked Liz

"To-he stammered and said with disdain-My brothers in law, So anyway Claire all I need you to do is get us to someplace where we can stay until I am healed, your instincts will naturally take you somewhere your family has a house and a cover. Might I suggest someplace  in the 1800s, 1950s, or you can't go wrong with the renaissance-Alexander clearly saw the look of panic on my face-"Please, Claire, we need to leave as soon as possible can you do this?" The question was a valid one, but I hated not knowing what I was doing and what if I landed us in the middle of a battlefield or a murder or something? I knew though that Alexander had a point, we did need to leave and he couldn't stand.
