~Rosie
This kiss means something.
I’m not sure if it’s born out of desperation, or it’s from a raging amount of emotion after Time witnessed his break up with Amaris again. Either way, we seem to have no time for soft, gentle kisses. This is all heat, passion and desire. I’m pinned to the bed, Time’s hands all over me, his lips drawing sensations from my body that I’ve never felt before.
There’s no hope for me to pull myself away from him. My entire body reacts to his touch, and the sparks that dance across my skin as a result. He goes from cupping my face to running his hands down my shoulders, arms and then to my waist, where he pulls me up against his body.

Time 24
~RosieI’m done for.Sitting here, tucked into the back of a dark corner, I’m completely pinned, exposed to this powerful immortal’s eyes. He stares down at me, golden eyes narrowed slightly, looking over me with no shame whatsoever. There’s no excuse for this. There’s no way to turn back and reverse my own stupidity.What is this going to mean? The question is, will I return back to the present day, and it will all be a burning fire or a hole of nothingness? Maybe the Time from my era is already gone, having been completely destroyed as I appear in front of his past self.Another predicament, is that I’m completely speechless. He’s clearly not going to be
Time 25
~RosieThought stares at me, wordless.I’m not sure why I expected Thought to jump at the chance of helping me. Maybe it’s because him and I are both stuck here in the same position, at Time’s mercy. Instead he remains silent, staring me down with those unnerving silver eyes. I’m unsure of which make me the most uncomfortable; his, or Time’s golden ones.“I’m not like you, but we can help each other,” I breathe, pressing against the confines of my binds. “Why won’t you help me?”
Time 26
~RosieI wake to someone sitting by my legs.My entire body jerks up into sitting position, as I realise Time is looming over me. Placing my hand over my chest, I brush my hair back, trying to gain a little more consciousness.“Rude awakening much?” I question, clearing my throat. Time is fully dressed and ready for the day, which I suppose is easy enough to achieve when you don’t need any sleep. I, however, was plagued all night with horrible nightmares about what happened yesterday. Time’s golden eyes never once left my mind, and still are burnt into my eyelids.
Time 27
~Rosie“For once, you’re the enigmatic one.”I ignore Time’s remark as he walks through the door. I’ve been pacing back and forth, raking my hands back through my head, cursing myself over and over. I just killed someone. It may have been an accident, but it still happened. I reacted out of fear, that Time would find out the mistake I made, and I would have to fess up. Looks like now, I have no other choice.“It was an accident,” I reiterate my thoughts. Realising I had raised my voice at him, I lower it, running my hand down my face. Trying to calm down, I look around, watching Time pull a pair of gloves off his
Time 28
~Rosie“Please don’t hurt me.”It’s the first words to come out of my mouth. I’m staring at my mate right now. That exact man who I have gotten comfortable with over these past few weeks – if time can even be counted in the same way anymore. But he’s not the same man. He hasn’t gone through the same experiences yet, and he’s in a dark stage of his life, so he’s unpredictable. Plus, he isn’t the one who tried to bring us together. He doesn’t even know me.“And why would I hurt you? You’re my mate,” he says, titling his head to the side. My breath hitches. As serious
Time 29
~RosieI lie on my side, back to Time.He stands in the doorway to the bedroom I have just been allocated, watching me. I’ll admit, this lavish estate within the clouds above the city keeps getting better, starting with this room. The walls may be a powdery pink colour, with creamy white trim and furniture to match, but it’s got a big bed and has a door. It’s enough to keep me sated.Time isn’t going to return me. It’s no use being upset over it, but it doesn’t mean I have to pay him any mind. I’ll spend all my time in this room until he gets bored of me and takes me back. Even if that means I have to de
Time 30
~RosieI hold Time’s arm, leading him blindly.Surprisingly, it didn’t take much to convince Time to do this. For someone who is going through such a self-destructive period of his life, he is awfully receptive to my ideas. Even more so than the Time in the future, who is too proud to admit that he can be saved. Maybe he actually wants to change, and hasn’t yet reached his darkest space.“So why the blindfold?” Time questions, blindly failing his arms in front of him. It makes me smile, and not just at how foolish he looks. He’s putting trust in me, when I could easily put him in a vulnerable position. M
Time 31
~Time (Original Time from Rosie’s era)Darkness surrounds me. This trap couldn’t have been created by anyone other than me. I’ve been placed in a dark cave, blocked in by a veil of magic. I woke a few days ago, and already have dug a whole with my bare fingers into the wall of dirt, which has finally emerged into the outside. I’ve created a small hole I should be able to squeeze my body through. The past me was smart, but not smart enough. Back then I wouldn’t have been willing to dig myself out until my fingertips were raw and my nails were cracked. I wouldn’t have allowed myself to ruin my clothing, muss my hair and cover my skin head to toe with dirt. But he didn’t have a mate.Whatever past me has done to Rosie, he will pay for it. A glance at her, even a thought of harming her. I was foolish and ignorant back then. Who knows what I would do…Pulling the dirt away from the hole, I make enough space for me to crawl through. After getting caught a few times, I pull off my jacket,
