Cold… it was so so cold.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiudO2tFA6
What happened? Why is there no light? She couldn’t see a thing, and she felt like she couldn’t physically move.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJfjMsn12H
Was it a dream? How long will this last? It’s so…creepy and isolated. Her memories feel like they’re fading…
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKJfMasFV8
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?? 492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaQNbUuFkZ
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqMMd50loF
This is getting too real, she needs to wake up. This dream feels as if it’s never ending…
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQdiKHotUJ
Silence, that’s all she could hear and she was hating this. Deeply terrified that she was alone…
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCX5CblKoR
“Liah..”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEagvKpZW7
Huh? What was that? It sounds like a voice.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDFxn66YzQ
“Liah, wake up..”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUui4D491E
Liah, yeah, that’s her name! Liah England, That’s her full name!
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8CpQ2edad
She tried to move, more determined now then ever. Especially that she remembered her name, thanks to the voice.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp1RyQNRIJ
A warm feeling is slowly showering over her, is she finally gonna open her eyes??
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev7Rf0QVd4
Come on, come on, come on!!
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaGDgjtIbb
“LIAH ENGLAND, FOR THE UNIVERSE’S SAKE, WAKE UP!!” The voice screamed loudly.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQihiVRXyhN
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMHicQeELY
“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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qyk6O0hhA
“Welcome, Liah England, I have been waiting for you..” The voice was deep and sounded close by.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY2A4qaz6V
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmaPndipkj
“Liah..calm down before you pass out again—“
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rL598v4dz
“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!
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoik8L4A1CD
“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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2DmxnTuuY
She slowly nodded, breathing deep and slow for a few moments. “O-okay i’ll listen, Mister..uh..”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPuYloOn15
“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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MRgB33yvH
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5cnFOHQjm
“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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSKfxfiDu2
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rAUVKFlZD
Theodore smirked soft, his eyebrows raising a bit. “Look down, child..”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9WCD4yQGp
“I’m 23 thank you very much—WOAH!!”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWu5BeswmN
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprV5RnaD00
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..”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8U0RTzAzS
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..”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxM6jDK2ON
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~”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqZFHkq9NG
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZayi3MxN2
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4qpAIQU1T
Was this it? Is she going to die?
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeN4m7PFgj
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—“
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3XzQdwgeo
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiK9xYVlCt
“Ah..Did it open you’re eyes? Can i continue my speech now?” Theodore’s amused voice rang over to Liah’s ears.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApZzNZC0cQ
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiu3MpYRuy
“The universe wants you to work for them..” Theodore then put his hand out for her to grab, “ and they desperately need your help..”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdIXYG0qi0
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.”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez8bGsYRik
Liah sighed and rolled her eyes, “i could have died, you clown..”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHg4ZVb97i
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..”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN68yO3hMVS
“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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8zxomC0Zy
“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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ6CXOdj2o
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixWZfylMuw
“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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70bAJVqWED
Theodore nodded, staring up at the hourglass with such admiration. “Yes, we Time Keepers make sure it’s safe from any disturbance.”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsJ0RNJcon
“Ah, okay..and when all the water and sand goes to the bottom, you turn it upside down—“
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxbUSGVnEP
“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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WlsovCPKw
Liah frowned soft, “ah..i see…so wait..who would disturb it then??” She looked between him and the magical hourglass.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxNzOslpBe
“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..”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SHltmOZF4
“Ah okay, i see— WHAT?! Me?!” Her eyes widened for the thousandth time so far, “i’m merely human! What could i do??”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRlgKdvCYv
“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?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyzIseJhcV
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???”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVPW8oU2yB
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.”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8QAIVPrMb
“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.”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2grm1eCP0g
Theodore hummed soft, “i mean..if you want, i could talk to the Universal Counsel and see if i can stay longer to help—“
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1NUuWrBAV
“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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9PwREZZA3
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg3N22Lv6I
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..”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzi32qtGRv
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?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejRwzhxVic
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgsWRwhmlE
“Okay, Theodore, let’s begin..” she smiled soft, holding her hand out to him. “Shake on it, and swear you’ll stay and help?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6OEP9eRAx
Theodore smirked, shaking her hand, “deal..”
