"I'm sorry, Alayna. I wasn't sure that I should say anything but your boyfriend insisted. He said that you would want to know everything."
I glance at Derek gratefully. "He's right, Meril. I guess, now I know why my fake name Mary Anne seemed to be perfect for Bernie." I try to joke, attempting to help ease my uncomfortableness.
Derek caught the tension in my voice and whispers in my ear, "Alayna is a beautiful name. Much better than Mary Anne." Derek smiles his dazzling smile that makes my heart stop. I can’t help but to smile back. My heart does stop when he gives me a quick wink before tur

"The boys and Sheila, that's my wife, decided that it would be best for me to go alone. So I bought me some first aid kits, said my goodbyes, and punched in my coordinates. I landed in a forest that seemed oddly quiet. I walked my way to a river because my throat felt abnormally dry. The sun was setting so I knew that I needed to find shelter. I decided to walk towards the west, I had no idea where I should go and felt kind of foolish. I couldn't find any houses or places to sleep in. I was surrounded by nothing, but trees." "I didn't get much chance to explore. We were captured shortly after arriving. Did you see any men on horses or anything? I ask.

"Neither one of them would talk to me. We camped under tents and soon my wound became infected. The fever that it caused, kept me from being able to stay awake. It took us five days to reach a castle. I was too weak to even fall off the horse, so the two knights carried me to a room that held other sick people. They threw me onto a cot and a few minutes later a woman came and cut my shirt and bandages off. When she saw the wound, she shook her head.""She hollered for two men and another woman to have water brought up and put in a large hole in the ground. While the woman was gone, she cut up my pants. I was too weak to say anything.” He says a little embarrassed. “When the woman was finished with the water, she ordered the men to carry me and put me in the hole. The water was freezing! I tried to struggle but I could barely move. She dunke

"The next morning, breakfast was served in my room. Gabriel visited with me, in between his meetings. I told him the basic principles of time travel, the first day. The second day, I talked to him about the good and the bad things about time travel. Gabriel decided that it was something that he didn't want to pursue, so he never asked me about it again." "The next three days, I told him about my life, your life, and why I wanted to find you. He told me that he was going to have to talk to the council and see what they suggest. Two, of the five council members, were not going to be back until my sixth morning as a guest. He took me into the council meeting the day that they arrived. I explained everything to the council, which I had explained to Gabriel already." "One council man in

"We woke up just before sunrise. There were around a thousand Knights prepared to march against Zarius. A third of them were on horses. Just to see this with my own eyes was very intimidating. I don't even know if I could express it to you properly. Gabriel rode up to me with a black mare in tow. He gave me the horse as a gift and he wished me well. That was the last time that I saw him." He sounded sad, like he had become friends with the King. He heaves a depressed sigh. "For such a big army, it didn't take long for everyone to line up ready to leave. Breakfast was eaten on the road, which was pretty nasty. It took me about thirty minutes before I was able to sit comfortably in the saddle. I could feel the ground tremble beneath me causing my anxiety to rise. They were heading into war. In the back with me were the seven men that were going to be my

"We rested in a grove nearby and we could hear Gabriel's Knights get closer. Leonard was a quiet Knight so when he started singing, melancholy tunes, we knew something was wrong. I looked at him and his shirt was soaked in blood and his breathing was labored. I tried to help him but he kept shoving me away. I stopped trying when he pulled his dagger out on me. Everyone was trying to convince him to calm down and let me look but he just kept saying that it was too late.""The next morning we woke up and he had died. He left two letters, one for his parents and one for us. We could barely read it because he was shaking pretty bad. He apologized because he was playing with the mercenary and got struck in his side. He was too embarrassed to tell us and, in the end, it cost his life. He requested that we burn him instead of sending him back to his parents.&

"Charlie, Bernie, and Sheila were already there waiting for us. Sheila was worried that I would never come back because I was gone for so long. When we came through Bernie and Charlie grabbed you. I was still in shock when I first got back. I was glad to be home but after what I had seen, and what I saw happen to you, I couldn't seem to be able to talk to Sheila. You were walking around like you had no life left and then you collapsed. Charlie and Bernie rushed you to the hospital, but when they realized that you shouldn't have existed, they panicked and took you downstairs to the hospital basement.""I answered the general questions of my well-being when Sheila asked and then checked the machine. I didn't come back with your father, and needed to rebuild a portable, but the machine was broke

When I don’t answer, Derek storms out of the room with a guard following behind him. ‘m torn between going after him and staying. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be in his shoes. I know how strongly I feel for him and my heart’s divided. How much would I feel if it was the opposite? I know I feel like I am drawn to him, I feel the sparks when we touch, I feel the warmth that he gives me when holds me. How much more for him? How much is this hurting him to know that I am still in love with another man? To know that I am willing to acknowledge what we feel for each other because of this other man. I don’t know how to explain it. I am also trying not to become too attached because I know what will happen if I fail and I don’t make it back here. Meril makes the decision for me, by grabbing my hands. "Alayna, I don't believe that it would have been Joseph. I'm sorry. I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty positive. You need to figure out what you want." He says nodding his head tow

Derek gets up to leave without a word. I try to grab a hold of his hand, despite knowing that I should let him go, but he moves too fast for me. I feel the tears rolling down my face. This is what I deserve. He, however doesn’t deserve the hurt. I start to head towards Meril, to help me finish the machine, but Derek comes back before I can get halfway across the room. He has a determined look in his eyes.

"Derek said that you weren’t supposed to be here, until tomorrow." Liz says, holding my hair. "Meril and Derek are at the bar.” She helps me to stand and looks at me critically. “You look like you need to lay down." I look over at Derek’s sister, guilt eating me up from the inside out. I think that I might throw up again. Looking into her eyes, with tears forming in my own, I speak my guilt. "Liz, I don’t think that you should be so concerned about me right now. I did something bad.” I look down at my feet. “Your brothers going to hate me when he finds out.” An idea pops into my head. One that will help remove any pain that I’ve caused anyone. The only person that will carry that pain is myself. “Is the machine still working?"

I decide that I will take a bath while I wait. The bath is wonderful and relaxing. I fall asleep in the tub but this time Derek isn't there to wake me up. I wake up to the feeling of suffocation. I open my eyes immediately, realizing that I’ve submerged in the water. I jump up, take a huge inhale of air, and release the water.I think about Derek while I get dressed. There is some fruit sitting on a table when I get out. My stomach grumbles a bit. I try to satisfy it with the fruit but I need actual food. I’m too scared to walk around by myself. I’m stuck waiting on Joseph. I pace the room and wait fo

We finally make it to the dining hall. Joseph is already there waiting for us. His face falls when he notices us enter together. I frown, feeling a little guilty. I look down as I walk to the table. I sit on one side of him and Derek sits on the other side. "Good morning, Derek. Lady Gwyneth seems to be impressed by you.” Joseph winks. I scowl at the table. I know what he’s doing. “She said that she would love to join us for breakfast. Unfortunately, she has errands to run and wanted me to thank you, on her behalf, for your company last night." I clench my fists in my lap. Derek looks at me apologetically and I give him an 'it doesn't matter look'. "Thank you,

I hear Derek curse as I rush down the hall. I contemplate why I’m so angry when I had wanted to do the same thing with Joseph. It feels hypocritical but I don't get a chance to think of it for long, because Derek grabs a hold of my arm and spins me to face him. I have never seen him so angry or hurt. I back up against the wall and he follows my movements, with his own, as he glares at me. I’m not sure what he is angry about. I told him that he didn’t do anything wrong. It’s true. He didn’t. So why is he mad at me? A paige runs down the hall and Derek grabs my upper arm and le

"Geez, Derek. Why do you keep doing that?" "Why do you keep falling asleep in the tub?" "What are you doing in here?" I inquire. "Joseph sent me. You've been in here for a while and the paige was afraid to come in." "Oh. okay. Why did he send you? I mean what was his reasoning?" "He thought that maybe you were having second thoughts." he says, sounding a little hurt. "I didn't mean to sound like I didn't want to see you. I just meant, why, for the staff's sake.” I motion towards the basin. “Can you hand

Derek explains everything to Joseph and he listens like a school boy sitting in front of his favorite teacher. Watching the two of them is bittersweet. I walk behind them and watch with amusement as Derek gets more animated with every new question. He seems to be in his element. I’m glad that he is the one that explaining things. He is explaining the future better than I can even imagine. Joseph is so astonished with everything that is different in this world. Like tall buildings that reach the clouds, no animals, and flying cars. It takes a few minutes for Derek to explain what a simple car is. He asks if we thought

Joseph looks at me for a second. I can see several emotions filter through his eyes. I can’t help but continue to look at him. He nods his head as if he has made a decision. He nods towards one of the guards who then unchains Derek. I beam as I watch him stretch his arms and rub his wrist. When he notices me watching, he smiles back and walks over to me. We look over at Joseph, who has been watching me, and Joseph turns around. I excitedly give him a hug that he returns with as much enthusiasm. "This isn't helping." he whispers in my ear. I pull back and look at

I cry until I cry myself to sleep. I hear a sound that wakes me up. I open my eyes just when one of the guards bring me some food and water. Again, they do not bring any for Derek."Is he going to make me watch him starve to death?" I ask."King Joseph wishes for you to remain well.” He hesitates, deciding whether he should tell me his next information or not. He shrugs and lowers his voice. “If you are telling the truth, he plans to re-marry you in front of the country." the guard replies."And Derek?" I ask agitated."He is going to allow him to be your 'secret assistant' provided that he behaves. He is not to do anything to compris
