Time will never tell

Chapter Five

Katie swung around and was met by the smiling face of Time, right next to her. Whilst most would be surprised that she had run over to Katie within three seconds and all without making any noise, Katie wasn't surprised in the slightest. She had seen the girl run through a closed fence, she wasn't sure if she'd even be surprised again. Even if her mother had bought her the phone she asked for. Upon seeing Katie's expression, Time spoke up "What's wrong?"  Katie looked at her curiously and said, "When your brother finishes the potion, how are we meant to get to my family?" Time looked at Katie as if she had sprouted two heads, which she wasn't sure if she would actually be that surprised.  Before she could reply Katie spoke up "And how did they even become frozen in the first place, oh Time this is so hard to understand," Time spoke suddenly "Oh Katie, You don't need them here. You drink the potion to bring them here and when they arrive, they won't be frozen anymore. The reason they were frozen was because, well... You'll find out soon enough. It's slightly difficult to explain to a mortal, such as yourself" Slightly frustrated and insulted that Time hadn't known what she meant "No," She sighed "I meant, how will we get home?" Katie was beginning to get more and more curious of the pale girl, who developed a certain twinkle in her eye. "Oh," Time replied as if she knew something, Katie didn't. Katie thought it better not to inquire about it if Time wanted to tell, she would. In any case, she was already being quite helpful, despite not helping her understand how this mess had occurred. Still, she said she had something to tell her and Katie was curious, so, she decided not to say anything and just wait till later, after all, that's what her mother always said, "Good things come to those who wait," Katie didn't quite know the meaning of this but assumed that it applied to this situation, she wondered if her mother had known anything about Time. Maybe she'd visited this place as a child, maybe she could ask later on, Katie decided against this eventually as her mother would probably think she was crazy so she didn't bother to think upon it more  Katie was beginning to think that she wasn't going to say anything "Don't worry, there's something you'll need to know first, but I'll tell you then, however, if you want to go back I'll give you and your family a potion to drink to take you back, but you won't remember anything." Time smiled sadly "What. No, I love it here. You're a really good friend and I want to help you find your sister." Time muttered something under her breath after Katie had spoken and although Katie didn't know it them and maybe she never would, but what Time had said was "I've already found her."
