Charlotte's Time Machine [COMPLETED]

Change her mind

''No.'' I frowned at how fast she replied, after I explained in full detail about the new plan I had in mind.

''What do you mean no?'' I questioned as I truly had faith and trust with my second idea.

James and I spent all day coordinating a new way to save our highness.

Since Veronica is disapproving and wants absolutely nothing to do with it or with me, I'll find another way.

Except Olivia is not agreeing with the other way. ''No, no and no. Never. Don't even think about it.'' She shook her head through the screen and I sighed with annoyance. ''That's the worst idea you could ever think of.''

''I think it's a great idea.'' James muttered softly, looking down at the paper on his table. He wrote hastily with a quill of wing feather, coping the letters I gave him.

I told him to write and copy all the last letters he hasn't written yet; a way to ensure my arrival. I would have never came without the letters being made, so James must complete them.

My eyes wandered around his shop, closed as night came, a few candles were light up and a dark fire rays illuminated the room and all the artificial objects in it.

''I heard that.'' Olivia spoke through the laptop screen, responding to James's mutter, while he sat at the table behind the laptop. They couldn't see each other, but they did speak earlier.

''Look Charlotte, what you're suggesting is insane. All my life I looked up to you and your work but for the past few years, your decisions have been lacking. What your saying is madness.'' Olivia spoke softly, hoping to change my mind but I had this settled.

''No, Liv. This is going to work.'' I saw her sigh and rub her face with both hands, but I continued. ''The way I see it, it's far better than the first plan.'' She pursed her lips while I lifted my hand, signaling for her to listen.

''What we suggested first was to prevent the war, the loses, people who are supposed to die are going to live and have children they should never have. We're talking about thousands of people here.''

''Doesn't that make you a hypocrite? You let all these people die and yet, you want to save the queen and her daughter. The daughter who've you already saved before. Changed 65 years of history.'' Olivia raised her eyebrows at me, in a challenging manner. She knows I had no response to that.

James looked up, watching me carefully and frowning.

She was right. Originally, we wanted to save everybody, prevent the war and then work a way to keep things intact. Hoping that we're not going to change much of the past. Hoping.

However, now, I just wanted to save Veronica. If the war happens then so be it. I'm doing this for her.

''You're right; I'm a hypocrite. But you know, that my plan is the best, more factual, more in control, less hoping and depending on faith. You know our first plan is very risky to our future. This one however will reassure that nothing happens to our future. Now what do you want? Our future to be compromised by saving people that will already die? Or less effect on the future and our goals are still being met?'' Now, I had her thinking.

I wanted to grin in victory at the defeated look on her face but I kept my composure. She hates it when my ego is on the roof.

''Alright as you wish.'' James smirked at me as Olivia finally gave in to the plan.

She really had no choice; our first plan required Veronica's acceptance and since the queen wants to be stubborn, we have no choice but to make a new plan. Olivia had to agree.
