The soft toys, story books, the vibrant pink and white color of the room made it clear that whosoever the room belongs to is a toddler or a pre-teen girl.
He has been transported there naked. He picked a pillow from the bed built up for a small child and hid his pelvis region with the pillow supported by his left hand. He wished to find a towel, a better thing to wrap around and yet examining the room at the very same time.
His eyes fell on the baby pink wall clock. It was decorated with animal ceramic models coated in pink and some in white which sparkled, these were stuck swirling around the wall clock. It was 02:17. He wondered whether it's early morning or afternoon as there was only this one main opening to the out but it was shut.
His eyes searching for a towel laid on a table calendar, it had things written in child's handwriting. All the dates before sixteen were circled and crossed. Meanwhile, the date sixteen was only circled. The month was January and the year 2015. So, he time travelled to the assigned year and month but wrong place.
He sat on his toes examining the calendar if he really got it right. He is now realizing that the scientist never mentioned neither the exact time nor the place. Mesopotamia or Africa, his earlier mentioned time travel place, is a huge one in itself. He mentioned 1 m.y.a or 5000 BCE without mentioning the time, day or anything specific. Even in this time travel he mentioned January 2015 but didn't specify either the time nor the date. This made Valentine realize that this invention of George works but on uncertainty. He hits his head on the wall for the stupidity he has done in believing the stupid scientist and not analyzing or using his own head beforehand.
He thought to himself that he just has to hide for an hour and soon he will be back as told. He glanced at the wall clock to see its 02:23 now, 6 minutes have passed, just 54 more. It can't be that hard.
He hears the noise of door cracking on the wall because of being pushed open harshly out of the blue. A little girl comes in and shuts the door behind her and the movement she turns back, she witnesses a young man naked just his pelvis area covered by her pillow staring at what she was doing just now.
Valentine noticed the girl shocked and tried to explain by uttering as soon as his mouth received the signal, "L-Let me explain-".
"How did you enter inside? Why are you taking cover here? And most of all, Why are you naked?" The girl bombarded him with all the questions in a single breath.
Valentine expected the girl to shout out loud, calling her parents or guardians in the room but he was astonished by how she hadn't yet.
"It's hard to explain how I entered inside. I apologize for being here naked but please do not freak out, I have my reasons" even though the girl didn't look freaked out but still he was worried. Making things hard for him is the last thing he should do.
The girl went out and Valentine thought he had unfortunately freaked the little girl and she may be calling out her guardian. It would be better to talk out to an understanding adult than to explain it all to a child only if the adult would not turn out to be a sensitive freak.
She returned back with some clothes in her hands and she handed it to Valentine. "It's cold outside and we need to evacuate this place soon as it is not safe either anymore" the girl was worried about something and he had no idea why and for what. Valentine looked at the clothes. They were some adult-sized English clothes. They were pretty famous in 2014 and 2015 and this brand was the only one rocking all over the western part of the continent.
"Change fast" the girl sat on her bed facing the opposite direction and covered her eyes, "I am not seeing a thing; make it quick"
Valentine was shocked but he didn't want to be naked at the same time and started wearing what she handed over to him.
"It is still hard to believe that there are survivors" she sighed, "I thought they killed everybody, how are you still alive because the only one left alive are the ones who succeed to make a run to another village safe from the attackers"
"What is going on?" He was the one who was now freaked out, "Who the hell is killing people and why?"
"You don't know what is going on so why are you hiding" she was just about to turn back to continue with her arguments.
"Don't turn back. I am still changing" he was wearing pants. She turned back to her initial position and covered her eyes.
“I told you to change quick”
“It takes time ya know”
"Can you please tell me where am I? What is going on outside? I really don't understand what is happening" "You're in a village named Meshion, not so famous, which was expected to be a safe place in the civil war started by the Unsure and led by the brainless violent mobs. But guess what, some members of mobs decided to lead the wars in random places unlike the told and expected places like cities." she sighed facing down looking at her lap where her fists rested restless. "Are you alone?" He raised a question being worried and curious at the same time. "I wasn't but- Daddy said it would be safe here if I were a good girl but almost everyone of them he sent have died and I don't even know if any of them are still alive or they are dead too. Aunt Mary, told me to run away in basement and lock myself there and when
Looking at the three armed guys deciding to leave, Valentine felt a huge load getting off his shoulders. He knows he doesn't have much time to help. If he really wants to help, he needs to hurry or otherwise he would only create problems for the girl by leaving in between. He asked, "Do you know what the time is?" "Huh", she was a bit surprised but then answered reading her wrist watch," two forty-four" "F##k time" he whispered to himself not loud enough for her to catch his words. Time was passing quickly. Thirty-four minutes have passed, leaving him with even less than half an hour. He whispered to her, "Enter the encore room when I wave my hand to you but do not make any
A man shouted, "Don't leave any royal alive" his voice raised, "Every heir of Kenneth family must die" "Send them all to Hell", the other one cried. Valentine hid behind the wall where the path parted into two. While, the girl approached the door in silver color. The door was locked; she wandered her eyes to find how to open the door. There was a pin lock on the right side of the door. She tried any possible pin number that could come in her mind but none worked. Every random try was going incorrect. Those men had made their way inside, tearing the door away and running towards them. Valentine looked at the girl struggling to find the pin and them leading their way to theirs. This is the time that needs him to make a qui
The noise caught the green eyes' attention but he didn't move his gun away. He asked his companion to check. Valentine had an idea of what happened, " Angelica, I'll meet you after seven years, I promise. But right now save yourself" he said it all quickly, wasting no time at all. "Stupid, you isn't leaving alive from here, how the hell will you survive seven years" green eyes laughed thinking the young man is an idiot. He pressed the front part of the gun on Valentine's forehead, "Idiotic Kid, you must have lost your mind in all this. You don't even realize the kind of situation you're in" the man mocked, "You're life is in my hands." Angelica had closed the door in front of the two men approaching her and the door was tightly closed with a clack sound leaving the t
" My memories are messed up but gladly I can differentiate between what are the new ones and the old ones." George thought a little bit with his eyes narrowed, "My newer memories say, I escaped from Varson with a wound in my left hand" he showed the scar in his left hand to Valentine. Valentine clearly remembers, George didn't have the scar before but how now. He was confused. "You're telling me I changed the past in just an hour when all I was doing was trying to survive." Valentine asked. "It's hard to say it is because of you because the civil war was triggered in the middle of 2013 and led further in late 2013 and became the worst in February 2014 and soon ended." George further explained, "The civil war was against the past royal families still holding huge powe
Joshim closed the door behind him, "Mr. Henderson wanted me to pick you up from here. He was pleased to hear you came here and gave your precious time though such things don't interest you." "How kind of him after tricking me" Valentine exclaimed with the wicked smile tucked on his face. Joshim tried reading the environment in the room. Valentine was naked on bed, even though he cannot see his lower body he could tell that. The heater was a bit too warm. George looked suspiciously scared or somewhat worried. The whole thing was just weird to him. "Did something happen here?" Joshim asked not to be too direct. Valentine leaned forward looking innocent, "What can happen? Why did you asked?" Valentine knew what he meant but wanted Joshim to say it directly. A cold sweat
***It's been 4 days*** Valentine was playing a video game and he was continuously hitting some button on the controller. "You have a call from Scientist George Milt-", the smart speaker informed him. "Receive the call", he said, not moving an eye away from the screen and his both hands still focused on the controller. "Hello", George said, "You wanted to know about the girl and what happened to her after you left. She was saved just after two hours of you being gone. Everyone in the mob was killed by men sent by Kenneth family. And about her present location and where about" "Did you find it?" Valentine asked. "I am sorry but the more recent the past time gets the Teleporter
Anna didn't want to be alone so she brought a girl with her. Her name was Stella and she had medium length black hair just neatly combed and left open with no accessories.She wasn't even close to Anna. The thing is no one is but she cannot refuse Anna. She is too dominant to be refused. So, she was keeping quiet the whole time, she felt uncomfortable between all the strangers.She looked at the man who sat magnificent with a gentleman look and expensive attire. The navy blue suit suited him and his nicely combed hair to back was just so attractive that one could not take their eyes off him.Anna pinched Stella's forearm and whispered to her, "Will you stop gawking at him? You look creepy don't do anything that will embarrass me or you will suffer the consequences" she warned her."I am sorry. Do I look creepy?""Have you seen your face in mirror? You would have known", she bullied Stella and though she felt bad; she was threatened but she didn't s
