I gasp as I realize that he had just said my name and sadness creeps into my soul, with the news of my mother's death.
"I'm sorry, Alayna. I wasn't sure that I should say anything but your boyfriend insisted. He said that you would want to know everything."
I glance at Derek gratefully. "He's right, Meril. I guess, now I know why my fake name Mary Anne seemed to be perfect for Bernie." I try to joke, attempting to help ease my uncomfortableness.
Derek caught the tension in my voice and whispers in my ear, "Alayna is a beautiful name. Much better than Mary Anne." Derek smiles his dazzling smile that makes my heart stop. I can’t help but to smile back. My heart does stop when he gives me a quick wink before tur

"The boys and Sheila, that's my wife, decided that it would be best for me to go alone. So I bought me some first aid kits, said my goodbyes, and punched in my coordinates. I landed in a forest that seemed oddly quiet. I walked my way to a river because my throat felt abnormally dry. The sun was setting so I knew that I needed to find shelter. I decided to walk towards the west, I had no idea where I should go and felt kind of foolish. I couldn't find any houses or places to sleep in. I was surrounded by nothing, but trees." "I didn't get much chance to explore. We were captured shortly after arriving. Did you see any men on horses or anything? I ask.

"Neither one of them would talk to me. We camped under tents and soon my wound became infected. The fever that it caused, kept me from being able to stay awake. It took us five days to reach a castle. I was too weak to even fall off the horse, so the two knights carried me to a room that held other sick people. They threw me onto a cot and a few minutes later a woman came and cut my shirt and bandages off. When she saw the wound, she shook her head.""She hollered for two men and another woman to have water brought up and put in a large hole in the ground. While the woman was gone, she cut up my pants. I was too weak to say anything.” He says a little embarrassed. “When the woman was finished with the water, she ordered the men to carry me and put me in the hole. The water was freezing! I tried to struggle but I could barely move. She dunke

"The next morning, breakfast was served in my room. Gabriel visited with me, in between his meetings. I told him the basic principles of time travel, the first day. The second day, I talked to him about the good and the bad things about time travel. Gabriel decided that it was something that he didn't want to pursue, so he never asked me about it again." "The next three days, I told him about my life, your life, and why I wanted to find you. He told me that he was going to have to talk to the council and see what they suggest. Two, of the five council members, were not going to be back until my sixth morning as a guest. He took me into the council meeting the day that they arrived. I explained everything to the council, which I had explained to Gabriel already." "One council man in

"We woke up just before sunrise. There were around a thousand Knights prepared to march against Zarius. A third of them were on horses. Just to see this with my own eyes was very intimidating. I don't even know if I could express it to you properly. Gabriel rode up to me with a black mare in tow. He gave me the horse as a gift and he wished me well. That was the last time that I saw him." He sounded sad, like he had become friends with the King. He heaves a depressed sigh. "For such a big army, it didn't take long for everyone to line up ready to leave. Breakfast was eaten on the road, which was pretty nasty. It took me about thirty minutes before I was able to sit comfortably in the saddle. I could feel the ground tremble beneath me causing my anxiety to rise. They were heading into war. In the back with me were the seven men that were going to be my

"We rested in a grove nearby and we could hear Gabriel's Knights get closer. Leonard was a quiet Knight so when he started singing, melancholy tunes, we knew something was wrong. I looked at him and his shirt was soaked in blood and his breathing was labored. I tried to help him but he kept shoving me away. I stopped trying when he pulled his dagger out on me. Everyone was trying to convince him to calm down and let me look but he just kept saying that it was too late.""The next morning we woke up and he had died. He left two letters, one for his parents and one for us. We could barely read it because he was shaking pretty bad. He apologized because he was playing with the mercenary and got struck in his side. He was too embarrassed to tell us and, in the end, it cost his life. He requested that we burn him instead of sending him back to his parents.&

"Charlie, Bernie, and Sheila were already there waiting for us. Sheila was worried that I would never come back because I was gone for so long. When we came through Bernie and Charlie grabbed you. I was still in shock when I first got back. I was glad to be home but after what I had seen, and what I saw happen to you, I couldn't seem to be able to talk to Sheila. You were walking around like you had no life left and then you collapsed. Charlie and Bernie rushed you to the hospital, but when they realized that you shouldn't have existed, they panicked and took you downstairs to the hospital basement.""I answered the general questions of my well-being when Sheila asked and then checked the machine. I didn't come back with your father, and needed to rebuild a portable, but the machine was broke
