I helped Leana to walk down to the basement, she had this baby carrier so I don’t need to carry Geanne. Especially I don’t know how to carry a child moreover, an infant.
She carefully remove Geanne and placed him on the bed. Then, she slowly lie down to bed.
I placed the blanket on them. I went to my bed with Dante and lie down and prepare to sleep.
Hours had passed and I can't sleep well, it's already twelve in the early morning.
Everybody was fast asleep and here I am wide awake.
Maybe I could jump and fast forward things to another time so I could save these people's lives.
I slowly got up without awakening them and went to the secret door near the bathroom. I get my pocket watch and diary from the bedside table, slowly I insert the key to the keyhole and I entered the door.
I walked back and forth inside and started thinking of what year we could jump, without turning the mortals to ashes.
Leana was around 24 and Geanne was possibly a week old.
Moments later three consecutive bombs were thrown and had exploded, I heard the baby cried. Leana was in panic and I could hear she's calling my name.
I am still here holding the pocket watch with my left hand, the diary clipped under my arm and the key in the keyhole; I closed my eyes and started chanting:
To thee I bestow my soul, salvage thou people and animal in here. I beseech thy salvation.
I bestow my baneful life to eternity.
Grant me your benediction.
At that an enormous light filled the room, I am once again be punished to live alone... For eternity.
I held the knob and turned it, my worried face covered my soul, "Leana! Hurry. Dante, come here.”
Leana took Geanne and alerted Dante, they all ran towards my place, towards salvation...
When everyone’s inside, I immediately took the key and shut the door, I held the knob tightly so it won’t be opened. The light that filled the room is blinding us. As it fills the room, I feel the pain in exchange of travelling through time and for my immortality.
I felt needles piercing my body, my skin felt like peeling. My mortal body was once again becoming immortalized. Tears filled my eyes , I'm crying because of the pain. The pain of being alone.
As the blinding light fades, so did the piercing activities in my body. We're still in the room, Leana was hugging an older version of her son and a grown Dante.
I fell down to my knees, though very weak I was able touch her shoulders and said, "Leana, we're safe."
Confusion was painted on her face. Her gaze roams around.
She looked at the boy she's hugging.
"Geanne?"
The boy lifts his face and looks at the woman who called him, "It's me, mom."
His stormy cerulean eyes looked at her, they hugged each other shortly and then turned to me.
"What happened? What did you do? How?" she asked without seizing.
"I will answer those questions of yours, but can we please have a meal first?" I weakly asked her.
As I stood up, the place suddenly swirled around, my sight became blurry and before I took another step, I felt my world turned upside down and blacked out followed after.
I woke up at the basement, on my bed. On my bedside table sat a tray with cooked meal, water and some oranges. My diary, pocket watch and the key was also on the table.
I sat up and ate the foods on the tray. I was munching the food, when Leana entered the basement.
Leana took a chair and placed it beside my bed. She sat on it and looked at me.
She has slight wrinkles on her face, "Where did you brought us, Sam?"
I swallowed the food and answered her, "We're saved. The war was over."
"What do you mean? I just blinked my eyes and suddenly my child was already ten and I am..."
She looked at her hands with loathe.
"...wrinkly and old.”
I placed the tray to the table, though I'm still weak I stood up.
"If you hate me that's alright, I just did what I think you needed. I want all of you to live life. I saw that you'll die on that year. I just turned the Threads of Death on me."
Confusion stirred up, "Threads of Death? I don't understand."
I turned my back on her, and went to a metal safe behind my bed. I turned to the locks to enter the security code, I blocked her view of the insides of the safe box.
When I turned to her, my hand held two gold bars.
"If you wanna know what will happen to you outside, take this and you're free. Thank you for staying by my side " I held my tears.
She was doubting if she'll take it. I took her hand and freely gave the bars to her.
"Take it to a bank, and exchange it for cash. You are saved, Leana."
Her tears flowed down her cheeks, she held my hand and hugged me tightly.
This was the first time I mingled with humans. She slowly unwrapped her arms around me.
Her face slowly moved closer to me, her eyes were closed and her lips touched my lips and it's my first time to experience such.
My eyes widened and it seemed time has stopped. My heart pounded so fast, I can feel my cheeks burning, I can still feel her soft lips that touched my lips...
Before I could move, she left me. It left me in awe.
It took me minutes for me to came back to reality.
I took the tray to the kitchen, Dante was happy to see me. He was looking for me then to the door. I thinks she's saying to me that they have left.
Hello solitarity...
I transported to the year 1950 with people with me, now they left me... Well, I was used to being alone. I went to the basement to get the toolbox there. This day I will remove all the wooden planks nailed on my windows.The deafening silence was broken by the noise of the planks removed from the windows, and the cheers of people outside.The once gloomy house was now filled with light by the sun. It feels good.I removed my shirt to wipe my sweat off my body. That whole morning till early noon took me on removing all those barricades. For the first time after ten years I went out to the garden.Weeds outgrown my herbs and flowering plants.Dante followed me wagging his tail. I could say he was enjoying my company.I took the weeding tool in the cabinet. Those ten years sure do fixed my house. Is my house immortal too?I brushed that thought and started weeding my g
It has been two months since I became an executive for a company, known for telecommunication.Guess what, Dante had a partner (lucky dog), the owner of the dam or should I say his wife, gave me a three month old puppy. He looks exactly like him, he was too energetic.I got up early and prepare breakfast, I have work to attend to. I placed dog food and some water on separate bowls for the two. I went in my bedroom, scanned my wardrobe and wore my formal attire with necktie and went to work.Things have changed now, I haven't seen Leana and my focus was on my job.Some women smoked and they can work now to helped out with their everyday needs.I can say women have been flirting with me, but I rejected them since I am not into dating anyone.When I went home, my body and mind surrendered. I took a quick rest before I searched the house for Dante. The house seem
Last day of December I went in a public library to read a book about transfusion of blood , though fiction I would like to try it.January, new year and new morning at around ten, I left Whitney and went to the pharmacy. I bought a syringe and some supplies needed for the house. I took a cab and returned home.I hope my plan would work. I went to the kitchen's island to prepare for the transfusion. I called Whitney and she approached wearily.I put a sedative on her meal to prepare her. I secretly withdraw my blood using the syringe. I had withdrawn a five milliliter of my blood.When she was finished eating, minutes later she felt sleepy. I carried her to the kitchen island when she passed out."I hope this will work" I mumbled.Without any knowledge of what would happen, I looked and felt for her veins, once I was able to searched for it I carefully inject my blood in her.
I went in again to grab a bar of gold, I think we need more money at this year. It is a lot different. Big difference.We went outside to checked things. I have no idea, I saw people with a lot more different clothes. Some were staring at me.Women wear clothes that reveal more skin and men wear shirts unlike mine which is long sleeved shirt and trousers.Few minutes passed, I had the courage to talked to someone, "Excuse me, may I know where is the nearest bank here?"She never answered me except she pointed out a building fifty meters away from us.She was stucked on a thing on her hand. I've never seen one. I thanked her and Whitney obediently followed.Minutes passed, we reached the bank. There's a man in uniform alike to the police, he was carrying a loaded shotgun tied around his body, and an m45 clinging on his waist.I was astounded on the weapons he was car
I started this day groggy, and uncomfortable. I cannot forget what he said:“I believed you're from another year, time traveler.How was it being rich, Samuel?"I cannot still fathom how he knew my name and how he knew I'm traveling through time too?I shook my head and slapped my cheeks. Ow!I can feel the heat from my cheeks. It hurts.I went to the shower to wash those thoughts away.I went out to buy food, I fear that I will bump again to that cab driver.I became cautious of my area which I have never done.I became more cautious of people. I went to the near boutique and buy some clothes that fit to this era, the ladies inside were staring at me, possibly because of what I wear.Next stop is the grocery, it is a building away.As I was shopping, I saw a familar face. My heart races. Tho
I dreamt of Gaille growing to a fine lady. And in there she was with me...And that dream is far from possible since she know me... And my identity will be revealed... I just hope that I will find my father soon before I see her being a lady.Whitney jumped on to my bed to wake me up. She licked my face which tickles me."Hahaha, Whitney stop it. It's ticklish"I wiped my cheeks which is filled by Whitney's saliva.She jumped down as I leave my bed. I went to the bathroom and looked at my reflection.Sea blue eyes, white complexion and wait... Why's my hair turned mahogany? Father what does this mean? It's so hard to be an immortal, and you're alone... You can't ask someone alike to you the querries in your head.I opened the faucet and clear water flowed. I cup my hands to the flowing water, and it touches my face. It was refreshing. I brushed my teeth as mix thoughts
I hear voices, but I don't understand what they were saying. I don't have the strength to open my eyes nor move a finger... I felt helpless, weak and hopeless.I don't know how many minutes or hours had passed when I regained my strength. My hands and feet were tied, I was lying on a hospital like bed when I opened my eyes.I tilt my head from left to right , and there I saw the cab driver was sitting silently on the corner.He looked differently, he looked young unlike the first time we've met.He saw me struggling, "I see you're awake. Sorry to tie you up like that.""Why am I tied? What do you plan on doing to me? Did you teleported me?" I angrily said as I continued struggling.He took the chair with him and place it near the bed.I looked at him as I stopped struggling form my chains.He sat down, resting his head on his arms which leans on the chair's ba
Pietro stopped as we entered the place. He looked at me and there’s longing in how he looked at me. “Like what you see? It’s only available here.” he asked me.This place exists in the building? But how? It’s too far-fetched. It was like another world inside a building, in an urban area.Emerald fields that stretches like forever, the sun shines brightly and warm, as if someone is hugging and kissing your bare skin, different flowers are covering some of the parts of this world; roses, chrysanthemum, orchids that hang themselves on tree trunks, dandelion, tulips, you name it.There’s also fruit bearing trees; apples, bananas, star apples, mangoes, almost everything’s here; birds of paradise, primates, insects, mammals and so on.It was too good to be true.My eyes are wandering around, still in shocked of the place I’m seeing. Am I dreaming?I looked at Pietro and asked him, “Where
