Chapter 24

In all honesty, I don't know if I'll ever have a meaningful author's note in these next few chapters...

        "What do you mean she isn't from our time period?" Esper asked.

        "If she really isn't, then what time period did she come from?" Add wondered. (Y/n) didn't say a word. She was beyond shocked. First another Add shows up and now she's being told that she wasn't even from her Add's original time.

        "Just listen. I went back in time and found out certain events. Apparently, when this all started, our very first self figured out the time travel equation and time traveled but he accidentally went too far," Time said.

        "How far?" Esper asked the question they all wanted to know.

        "Two hundred years too far," Time answered. Silence filled the air for a moment...well in the area that they were in. Only three others had gotten on the train besides them. "I'll start the story from the beginning...

[Excerpts of (Y/n)'s Past 1]

        Add had finally gotten over the pain that his eye brought him and he had long since figured out how to time travel. The only problem now was finding the right time coordinates and the right timeline. Add had travelled to the wrong one and was now in some unknown forest that he didn't want to be in. "Damn it. Not again," he muttered as he took in his surroundings. He looked to his left and spotted something that he hadn't seen there just a moment ago. No, it was a someone, not a something. They saw that Add had seen them and slowly revealed themselves.

        "Please don't kill me," the little girl said with tears in her eyes. She seemed no older than three. Add was shocked to see such a small child in the middle of a forest. Before he could say or do anything, voices could be heard along with the sound of footsteps. The little girl panicked and was about to run, but the people that had been heard appeared behind her.

        One of them didn't hesitate to shoot the child and another didn't hesitate to shoot at Add. The shot missed, and Add didn't waste any time in taking down the five men that he saw. He looked back to the child finding that she was dead. Despite not knowing who this child was or where she had come from, he felt responsible for her death and the guilt weighed him down.

        "This is so bothersome," he muttered as he set his dynamos to travel back in time to just a few minutes earlier. It was a short time jump so Add was able to set the coordinates correctly. When he appeared this time, he looked right at the little girl who wasn't surprised to see him there. She walked to him and instead of waiting for her to speak, Add immediately picked the girl up.

        "No, don't kill me," she pleaded, attempting to break free of his hold.

       "Quiet. I'm saving you," Add growled as he picked her up and took the child deeper into the forest. The sounds of the people who were supposed to kill the girl were now getting closer. Add didn't feel like running so he created a void and brought the little girl with him as he went in and closed it. She clung to his shirt as they floated, probably afraid of the void that they were in. Add felt somewhat uncomfortable with the small child in his arms, but he didn't mind since he hadn't just witnessed the child's death. When he left the void, the child's former pursuers were gone. He looked around just to be sure before attempting to put the child down. Yes, attempted. The little girl refused to let him go.

        "Hey, they're gone now. You can go home," Add said as he tried to pull the child off of him again.

        "There is no home. There is only them," the little girl quietly spoke. Add sighed.
