Cold… it was so so cold.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNm3ncAPDb
What happened? Why is there no light? She couldn’t see a thing, and she felt like she couldn’t physically move.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo6tUZhTka
Was it a dream? How long will this last? It’s so…creepy and isolated. Her memories feel like they’re fading…
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsObeD0nrDG
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?? 463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5N7EE4mgK
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBty2Uh3SL
This is getting too real, she needs to wake up. This dream feels as if it’s never ending…
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqcOKo9ZGh
Silence, that’s all she could hear and she was hating this. Deeply terrified that she was alone…
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJqdRdqeoG
“Liah..”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUjJjGt8HF
Huh? What was that? It sounds like a voice.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP0dZ743Ok
“Liah, wake up..”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbYWYUqapQ
Liah, yeah, that’s her name! Liah England, That’s her full name!
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIu3wXQ46i
She tried to move, more determined now then ever. Especially that she remembered her name, thanks to the voice.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhlRqsetEx
A warm feeling is slowly showering over her, is she finally gonna open her eyes??
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6hFs3ga0w
Come on, come on, come on!!
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64EpIa6Cb2
“LIAH ENGLAND, FOR THE UNIVERSE’S SAKE, WAKE UP!!” The voice screamed loudly.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F02bCwmef
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMadDIyp0gE
“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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFS3r6QLQA
“Welcome, Liah England, I have been waiting for you..” The voice was deep and sounded close by.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvW6XP7bBP
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IFzxJVAiS
“Liah..calm down before you pass out again—“
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEjHLOdNSd
“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!
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpHlNr0DZT
“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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUDnj4VzMl
She slowly nodded, breathing deep and slow for a few moments. “O-okay i’ll listen, Mister..uh..”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1zwRVMPiM
“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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6QId5qLRp
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJVoOi4AKR
“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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF6L0UuRRd
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46ilDMfsYJ
Theodore smirked soft, his eyebrows raising a bit. “Look down, child..”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA1L0VvZQW
“I’m 23 thank you very much—WOAH!!”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavs44c6r1f
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS3fgys2t3
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..”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh2lVHehrr
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..”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg11K2aa0JL
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~”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsu9croF5y
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjypvZwB7cN
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bTgwp7T4W
Was this it? Is she going to die?
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP92Cvh4UM
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—“
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEFiB0tFtX
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aOUmI5dyL
“Ah..Did it open you’re eyes? Can i continue my speech now?” Theodore’s amused voice rang over to Liah’s ears.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5WScaOtn5
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4ykUBRZKH
“The universe wants you to work for them..” Theodore then put his hand out for her to grab, “ and they desperately need your help..”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1omAYa8zjv
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.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvvlytc9ev
Liah sighed and rolled her eyes, “i could have died, you clown..”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBXRCfoLkC
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..”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53ILLMDy72
“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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuHVIr9qFY
“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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZReJlhw6iq
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKhNvnV1nB
“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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWDJySVdV4
Theodore nodded, staring up at the hourglass with such admiration. “Yes, we Time Keepers make sure it’s safe from any disturbance.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CJnBC5cC9
“Ah, okay..and when all the water and sand goes to the bottom, you turn it upside down—“
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJFCQvUFBx
“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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bdklaR4tr
Liah frowned soft, “ah..i see…so wait..who would disturb it then??” She looked between him and the magical hourglass.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tbxQqVHU8
“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..”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R90yuNjDE
“Ah okay, i see— WHAT?! Me?!” Her eyes widened for the thousandth time so far, “i’m merely human! What could i do??”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnvbWhYjax
“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?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlNFO2nUN8
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???”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2GiuaLatA
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.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAdNNP7tK2
“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.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dMbS4DU0R
Theodore hummed soft, “i mean..if you want, i could talk to the Universal Counsel and see if i can stay longer to help—“
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25LXaoj4Gy
“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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ki2CtOMzO
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlAoStn4JY
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..”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqbTidxF95
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?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs58qsY7mC
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnboTKCasxb
“Okay, Theodore, let’s begin..” she smiled soft, holding her hand out to him. “Shake on it, and swear you’ll stay and help?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaVeXHAjyB
Theodore smirked, shaking her hand, “deal..”
