Cold… it was so so cold.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol6IuuEoLC
What happened? Why is there no light? She couldn’t see a thing, and she felt like she couldn’t physically move.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeORgIKTU7H
Was it a dream? How long will this last? It’s so…creepy and isolated. Her memories feel like they’re fading…
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEXX7ewq1i
Who is she? What’s her name? What’s even her home address or phone number? Does she have blue eyes or green..or any eyes at all?? Wait..was she even human?? 493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzzGUY0qVT
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcmeCMUlET
This is getting too real, she needs to wake up. This dream feels as if it’s never ending…
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHk8sqNxgR
Silence, that’s all she could hear and she was hating this. Deeply terrified that she was alone…
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qxfSx1oDV
“Liah..”
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIN1JrfyiA
Huh? What was that? It sounds like a voice.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU2hBHQ8gu
“Liah, wake up..”
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkUyCQALlD
Liah, yeah, that’s her name! Liah England, That’s her full name!
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NxsqOYOPY
She tried to move, more determined now then ever. Especially that she remembered her name, thanks to the voice.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2YizGuscN
A warm feeling is slowly showering over her, is she finally gonna open her eyes??
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk4BGaD8TE
Come on, come on, come on!!
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk0wspmFZK
“LIAH ENGLAND, FOR THE UNIVERSE’S SAKE, WAKE UP!!” The voice screamed loudly.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuy5mtcEwc
It broke the never ending dream and Liah ended up jolting straight up and fell off the small bed she was laying on. Now she was face first into what seemed to feel as a floor.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADvOyGytEp
“Ouchh… the heck is going on??” The red head slowly opened her eyes, holding her nose. “Was i..dreaming?” She looked around, still on the ground, her eyes slightly blurry and she ended up rubbing the blur from them.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoASG76mKJn
“Welcome, Liah England, I have been waiting for you..” The voice was deep and sounded close by.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWYtuVbQhp
Liah ever so slowly lifted herself up, “waiting for me— WAIT WHERE AM I?? WHERE’S MOM AND DEXTER?!” Pure panic sunk in too quick, for her mother was sickly and her little brother was only 14. She needed to get back to them.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqA5ftmUnf
“Liah..calm down before you pass out again—“
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaecPBamh2P
“Calm down?! I need to get home and help my family! Christmas is coming soon and i need to help out with bills, presents, and food!” She had her hands tangled in her curly hair. Her green piercing eyes looking straight at this tall man, that for some odd reason, was wearing a huge blue robe. His hat was a weird cone shape and his shoes just as weird. Who is this clown? Halloween is already over!
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB3K89Ew1e
“Oh for goodness sake, get yourself together Liah so i can explain everything..” the man sighed and held the bridge of his nose in irritation. He looked up at her, his blue eyes looked like stars and galaxies lived within them.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml5vICT8pL
She slowly nodded, breathing deep and slow for a few moments. “O-okay i’ll listen, Mister..uh..”
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJNx3jTtCq
“Theodore.. Theodore The Fifth..” he smiled soft, but he could tell she was still confused. I mean who wouldn’t be. The room was as if you were in space itself. The walls looked infinite with galaxies and stars. While the ceiling was our own galaxy; The Milky Way. And here stood a man that looked like a wizard of some sort. Honestly, being confused could be an understatement.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb8z5GbkT1
Liah looked around slowly, the surroundings sinking in.“Please, tell me where i am..” she whispered this, her bottom lip trembling slight, for fear was stabbing deep into the pit of her stomach.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNFpfjbuZx
“Welcome, dear Liah, to the universe’s one and only, Time Chamber. This is where we take care of time it self..” he walked towards her, the ground lit up a bit with each step he took.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFArcDrVWZ
She squints, “this has to be some joke, right ? What makes you think i will believe bull like that? I mean look at you, you look like a wacky magician..” Her voice showing she definitely didn’t believe him.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd7HrVQDBG
Theodore smirked soft, his eyebrows raising a bit. “Look down, child..”
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8tnMvY74r
“I’m 23 thank you very much—WOAH!!”
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqxSaHmCt5
Liah looked down, and what she saw was pretty cool. It was the earth, slowly rotating in space, with our moon circling around. She blinked rapidly, rubbing her eyes a bit to make sure it wasn’t fake.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE52t4vrED
The man chuckled, “See? We are above earth, above life itself. We are the ones who keeps the time of day and night at bay..”
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nUYDTba0Q
She ended up chuckling, soon smiling and ended up laughing.
“Y-you really think, that i’ll believe we are really above earth, AND THIS is not some kind of computer image on the floor?!” She held her stomach, “ahh that’s a good one, Theodore..”
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvTvRRY3Uv
Theodore’s eyes squint, his jaw clenched. “Ah..i see..so you don’t believe me?” He looked to the side, smirking evilly, then looked straight into her eyes.“Well then..toodaloo~”
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI9QXcWbOm
Liah raised an eyebrow, “huh? Where are you— OH SHOOT!!!”
The invisible floor fell beneath her feet, and she began to fall to the earth.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc4iiaSxQR
Her heart raced and her screams where loud.
“HELP ME!! DON’T LET ME FALL YOU IDIOT!! I’M SORRY, I’M SORRY I DIDN’T LISTEN!! I’LL LISTEN AND BELIEVE YOU NOW!!” Her screams made her chest and throat feel like fire. Not to mention, her body was getting closer and closer to earth, and she was feeling the heat.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS0nWHyETT
Was this it? Is she going to die?
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYVgwrjBai
Liah closed her eyes and held her body into a tight ball. Tears were now falling from her eyes. “I’m so sorry momma..i’m so sorry dexter, sis won’t be there to help you—“
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9MoipHWJK
She then felt her body hit back to the ground hard, her breath pretty much knocked out of her, and her eyes open in shock.
She laid there, soon getting her breath back and panting heavy.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqruVzOvyL
“Ah..Did it open you’re eyes? Can i continue my speech now?” Theodore’s amused voice rang over to Liah’s ears.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI70XrtMZk
Her heart was racing, she’s completely shocked at this point. She feels around, realizing she had fallen back in the same bed she woke up on. “You gotta be kidding me..the universe is messing with me..” she mumbled breathlessly.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ut9vnwl8d
“The universe wants you to work for them..” Theodore then put his hand out for her to grab, “ and they desperately need your help..”
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGgzn7kWsP
Her hand was shaking, but she took his hand and squints at him with pure irritation and anger. He helped her up, chuckling soft. “Sorry..had to make you believe me.”
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuchwXCbXO
Liah sighed and rolled her eyes, “i could have died, you clown..”
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVphvSY5NmO
Theodore moved his other hand behind his neck, scratching it nervously as he chuckled. “I’m not a clown, i am a Time Keeper.. and About that..well..you’ll see..”
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPPF6gpUk6
“What do you mean, i’ll see?..i’ve seen enough, can i just go home??” Her eyes were showing pure frustration as she then sighed again.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwglMhjXF9
“Not exactly, so just follow me..” As Theodore started to walk with her, he let go of her hand and pointed in front of them. She then could finally see a wooden door, just sitting there. How odd, a door in outer space.. but then again, there was a bed and a clownish Time Keeper.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpY0vgDEHq
Theodore slowly opened the door knob, and there in the midst of them, was a huge hourglass. As they walked closer, she felt so tiny compared to it. The edges looked of glass that was blue with stars glittered in the mix. The whole hourglass it self was purely magnificent anyways. In the top, was a sunrise, and what seemed like water and sand going down into the bottom. While the bottom showed a moon rising into a starry sky, and the sand and water going up into the top. A true piece of art, something no human normally gets to witness.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9sZEjVqkS
“Woahh..it’s..so beautiful..” she stared in awe for a good moment. “But wait, you’re job is to keep this thing working, right?” She looked over at him.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh61Px7kze
Theodore nodded, staring up at the hourglass with such admiration. “Yes, we Time Keepers make sure it’s safe from any disturbance.”
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwRdgO7F3c
“Ah, okay..and when all the water and sand goes to the bottom, you turn it upside down—“
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYWv7ZL7tf
“NO!” He yelled in fear, and she jumped at his loud voice. He sighed, “i mean, no, we don’t EVER touch it.. one movement like that, would end time and humanity as we know it..” he looked back at it.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf9HXV5Lan
Liah frowned soft, “ah..i see…so wait..who would disturb it then??” She looked between him and the magical hourglass.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5MG6m6MbY
“It’s coming soon, to show it’s revenge and to end everything..” he looked at her, “but we have some rules here. One is we don’t speak of it’s name, two is we don’t touch the hourglass anddddd three is..well you, Liah, will be taking my place..”
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1WQ4R1HMN
“Ah okay, i see— WHAT?! Me?!” Her eyes widened for the thousandth time so far, “i’m merely human! What could i do??”
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvuxlQHFmg
“Used..to be human..” he said softly. “You, died in your sleep last night, but the reason of death was fate.. you are destined to be the next Time Keeper..” he looked into her eyes. “Is..is this making any sense at all?”
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK1CvYQ0v6
Liah sighed annoyed, “yes and no.. because i’m mad and angry at the universe right now.. it’s nearly christmas, couldn’t it wait until January? And when i’m 90???”
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopjXRJ4Wr5
Theodore sighed, “i don’t know why the universe does this, i was only 27 when i was chosen..” he looked down. “But anyways.. i’ll do my best to help you before i have to go.”
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9CSMweVwf
“Go?! Wait, you’re just gonna leave me here?? By myself??” Liah’s eyes widened. “I can’t defend myself! I barely learned karate and i mainly go for a skillet or broom when trouble is at my doorstep..which in fact i see nothing to defend myself here..i’m at a loss.”
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4zcXq7LXR
Theodore hummed soft, “i mean..if you want, i could talk to the Universal Counsel and see if i can stay longer to help—“
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85RbjvrxS5
“PLEASE!! I will literally do anything, i’m completely confused and terrified still and very upset at the universe right now..” he sighed and rubbed her forehead.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F5s26xH55
Theodore laughed soft, “alright alright, i’ll sweet talk them into letting me stay most of your time, and maybe i can teach you a few things here or there.” He chuckled, “so, is any of this registering in your head, like at all?” He asked softly, staring into her eyes, looking for emotion.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9Js56YIEz
Liah blinks, “i-…i still don’t understand it all..but..if this is how it’s gonna be, i guess protecting this thing is my life now?” She bit her lip, holding her arm to her chest, “will i still get to see my family? At least at Christmas?? I didn’t get to say goodbye..”
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLz5zuaxnL
Theodore had this saddened look, he hesitated at first, but cleared his throat. “we’ll see..but for now, let me show you around..there’s more than this old place.” He grinned soft, “so, Miss Time Keeper, are you ready to start this new journey?”
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFqd77sLIf
Liah breathed in slowly, she hated this, the universe is evil if this is how she has to spend eternity.. but.. maybe there’s reasons behind this. And Theodore seems to know what he’s talking about.
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJFnLVNxJB
“Okay, Theodore, let’s begin..” she smiled soft, holding her hand out to him. “Shake on it, and swear you’ll stay and help?”
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZBI7MJCCQ
Theodore smirked, shaking her hand, “deal..”
