I know this is going to sound very cliché but, your life can actually change in one day.
I didn't know that my 21 birthday gone wrong was the day I'll ever be normal. And here I am a month later still trying to wrap my head around it.
After the horrible incident where I almost got raped in the middle of the day, i found my self somehow thrown in the floor of my room , half naked trembling like a leaf. I opened my eyes slowly thinking it's some sort of weird transition from life to death. It felt that way. But it was actually my room, the alarm turned off at 9:00 am with my Wednesday song,I know I'm creepy but I kinda choose different songs for each day as an alarm ring-tone so I can know which day it is just by the song.
before I had the chance to freak out,my door brusted open and my grandpa rushed inside my room with a frantic look. I was still shocked and my brain was still not working right."Cara are you alright? What happened? Why does your clothes torned ?" I couldn't answer none of his questions cause I myself don't know what the fuck happened. How did I got here? I'm sure that wasn't a dream!but I had no rational explanation for all of that. Grandpa's voice become faded and I knew I was panicking. I tried to breath slowly but I couldn't, it all hit me like a wrecking ball,then it all went black.______________________________________________________________
i opened my eyes to my grandpa's study room's celling and the musky smell of fresh brewed coffee and old books. it was oddly comforting. my gaze met his concerned eyes and i begrudgingly left my upper body and leaned on the sofa, i murmured an apology for freaking him out. his stiff posture and uncomfortable look never left him,which confused me since he is a very chill person.
"you want coffee?" he asked me his voice was too formal. i shook my head no . "this is an odd moment for me because i had the same moment with your father when he just turned 21,after his life was never the same" he murmured the last part.
"when you ready, it's all so very mysterious right now." i couldn't help my sarcastic tone despite the situation .
"Caramel" i winced upon hearing my full first name.
"my dear grand daughter, the simple fact is Men in this family had always the ability to............." after a long hesitant silence , his eyes looking anywhere but toward me, he continued.
"this is gonna sound strange, be prepared for strangeness; get ready for spooky time. but there is this family secret and the secret is that men in this family......... can...... travel in time,,,,well more accurately travel back in time,we can't travel into the future" he rambled with his thick Mancunian accent coming out.
"this is such a weird sexist joke! " i replied with a disgusted tone"so you're saying that you my father and your father his brothers all can travel in time. grandpa stop binge watching back to the future and the time machine together" i continued with a boring tone but something inside me is believing him, or maybe i'm going insane with all this past events.
"well, it's the truth, i have never lied to you and you know that . this is a serious matter. i wasn't expecting to tell you this ever ,since you are a female,,,sorry,, but i think somehow you got the gift. i guess the time travelling God stopped being a sexist" i look at him like he grew two heads, grandpa Tim was always the intelligent ,wise and chill old man,he read so many books and can speak for hours about any subject. he never lied to me or told me stories who aren't real. ever since my parents' death, it was just him and i against the world, he taught me so many things and he never treated me like a child or a dummy even when i was just 7 years old.
"how do you know i have the gift of time travelling?" i asked now interested then ever.
" i thought you connected the dots from now, well somehow you created a door back to your room from wherever you were, probably the future or today,and time travellers can sense the excessive disturbance of energy that only a beginner time traveller can make" but before i managed to ask more he continued " but you are not a normal time traveller Cara. "
" wwhat do you mean?" this shit is getting more complicated then it already is.
" before time was counted, time travellers roamed the earth,we never knew how and why we had this ability but never harm the Other was our ultimate absolute rule. a time traveller fell in love with very special lady and got married, the lady was a white witch believe it or not, they gave birth to a female baby first,if you don't know witches give birth to females first to transmit there powers to their daughters, but the baby girl wasn't just a white witch,but also a time traveller. now every 300 year a hybrid between a traveller and a witch is born, that happens to be you"
"so you're telling me that i'm half witch half time traveller ...... come onnnn .."he didn't respond but only left it to sink in" if it is true,which it isn't"
"although it is "
"although it isn't obviously, if it was,which is not" i continued
"which it is" he replied calmly
"which it isn't,but if it was....how would you know if you never saw one before because you aren't over 300 years and because there is literally no written folklore about such thing"
he looked at me pointedly and he turned toward his large library full of books that are so old yet still in good shape, i followed him with my gaze ,he climbed the library's mobile ladder murmuring where he last put it,till i heard AHA! .he climbed down with a large leather book with beautiful embroidery and gems on the cover. he carefully placed it in my lap and signed for me to open it. i carefully opened the first cover and place it on the coffee table then open the leather cover , the pages were yellow and very old so i was extra gentle when i turned the pages, there were writtens and images ,very creative and detailed," but i don't understand"........
