Scattered Happenings

Chapter twelve

"Does she know?" I whispered to Uncle Henry.
"Yes." He said giving a nod.
I hopped off of the couch and went to hug Aunt Sally.
"You won't believe what I just found out! Mom, Dad, and Peter aren't from earth! I knew that dork was an alien! And I'm a princess! And some crazy guy almost killed dad. And I found the silver pocket watch!" I have never talked so fast in my life. Catching my breath was a little difficult.
"Oh." Aunt Sally looked concerned and looked right at her husband.
"What have you done to this child?" Aunt Sally ran her fingers through my hair.
Uncle Henry took the groceries from Aunt Sally and set them on the counter.
"She read the book."
Aunt Sally led me to the couch to sit.
"And you thought she was ready for that? Henry, she has a lot going on as it is." Aunt Sally became super worried.
"I believe she's ready. And also I think this is a great distraction from..." his voice lowered down. "Her parents and her brother being gone."
I lowered my head still facing them.
Aunt Sally threw her hands up in the air and turned around and made her way towards me.
"And also, I think he's near." Uncle Henry said.
Aunt Sally stopped walking.
"Are you sure about that? Like positively sure? That cannot be possible."
Uncle Henry walked over to us.
"He knows we're a threat again." He said.
"Again?" Aunt Sally sat next to me. I leaned on her arm and hugged it tight.
"I don't know how, but I think he knows about Mia." Uncle Henry said.
Aunt Sally held onto me tighter, I looked up at her with worry.
"Henry..." Aunt Sally began.
"I sealed up that single memory into that book before everything fell apart. No one should have access unless the person who holds the book. Which I only made one copy."
Uncle Henry stopped for a moment.
"No...I made two copies." He buried his head in his hands for a moment then looked at us with folded hands.
"I made a copy for Fredrick before that maniac..."
"Dad?" I asked.
"Sweetie, there are many things we have to tell you but it's going to take a very long time." Aunt Sally said to me in a soothing tone. "And hopefully everything will work out."
I wrapped my arms around her just wanting to forget everything I heard, everything I've seen. It's too much. It's all too much!

I laid in bed that night with my mind buzzing and an empty stomach. I couldn't get myself to eat dinner.
And now it seems I can't get myself to sleep. I groaned loudly and hid my entire self under my blanket.
If everything Uncle Henry says is true then...I think I'm the only one who can bring back order and peace back to the Enchanted Worlds. This all sounds crazy! But...
I was the only one able to bring back that pocket watch when no one else could. Uncle Henry, he couldn't even bring it back. He's tried, many different things to get it here. He even tried to analyze it there, but with time completely frozen and it was only a moment of a memory there's nothing he could've really done.
Uncle Henry said he sealed the 4 other worlds into they're own separate books, also freezing time.
If I can bring back the most important things from each of the worlds, I'm sure Uncle Henry would be able to fix this!
I popped my head out from under the covers. My bedroom window's were left open. It was very bright tonight. It was a full moon and the twinkling stars shone very brightly. I stared up at the starry night sky until I drifted off to sleep.
