Cold… it was so so cold.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u9pk1GdPL
What happened? Why is there no light? She couldn’t see a thing, and she felt like she couldn’t physically move.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UIDzWBcbj
Was it a dream? How long will this last? It’s so…creepy and isolated. Her memories feel like they’re fading…
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLAnAk4rz1
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?? 440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyVkmnw70p
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQvHgCtexW
This is getting too real, she needs to wake up. This dream feels as if it’s never ending…
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ698nTJ3f9F
Silence, that’s all she could hear and she was hating this. Deeply terrified that she was alone…
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSI6QjYZAS
“Liah..”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97DUgV7ejS
Huh? What was that? It sounds like a voice.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvzGjerSJq
“Liah, wake up..”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFWrKZOjvL
Liah, yeah, that’s her name! Liah England, That’s her full name!
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB9n9zgcZZ
She tried to move, more determined now then ever. Especially that she remembered her name, thanks to the voice.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXE2koKvT9
A warm feeling is slowly showering over her, is she finally gonna open her eyes??
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUy9aghHG9
Come on, come on, come on!!
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA4spKEk2m
“LIAH ENGLAND, FOR THE UNIVERSE’S SAKE, WAKE UP!!” The voice screamed loudly.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltoqjVbTLX
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFlbvlK2JS
“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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBtaULwJK6
“Welcome, Liah England, I have been waiting for you..” The voice was deep and sounded close by.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMag16HvZE
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4qnJ9gD5e
“Liah..calm down before you pass out again—“
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK0oYVIYXG
“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!
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxpiws3ifb
“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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64sigtfBwe
She slowly nodded, breathing deep and slow for a few moments. “O-okay i’ll listen, Mister..uh..”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMgzIupksH
“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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbquds4YCL
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sjTTaFCCc
“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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv5AhMvBiY
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasp73331Bx
Theodore smirked soft, his eyebrows raising a bit. “Look down, child..”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bv1UPyxAR
“I’m 23 thank you very much—WOAH!!”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaW3vrCHcP
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcnUqcqy32
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..”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B3SESEhGr
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..”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvXFU1pjKA
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~”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOun2yp4B41
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrU7dFob0R
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWfO54xPRx
Was this it? Is she going to die?
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwzubV2G1r
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—“
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdd7nk38XP
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0CGtfsXYa
“Ah..Did it open you’re eyes? Can i continue my speech now?” Theodore’s amused voice rang over to Liah’s ears.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPPudn5SUB
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVXswLDMCp
“The universe wants you to work for them..” Theodore then put his hand out for her to grab, “ and they desperately need your help..”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4zsempT3s
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.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhbiWDPFYp
Liah sighed and rolled her eyes, “i could have died, you clown..”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6zTPUpUeZ
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..”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYg8sXNNwX
“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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYilsLyiEv4
“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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBPWBhCXbC
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa3kMT31dk
“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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEPslSBPVe
Theodore nodded, staring up at the hourglass with such admiration. “Yes, we Time Keepers make sure it’s safe from any disturbance.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYVuYLbSoZ
“Ah, okay..and when all the water and sand goes to the bottom, you turn it upside down—“
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7mKzisEAw
“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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4cYUuTZd0
Liah frowned soft, “ah..i see…so wait..who would disturb it then??” She looked between him and the magical hourglass.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD12NKdgSu
“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..”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFiMPUJ2Y7
“Ah okay, i see— WHAT?! Me?!” Her eyes widened for the thousandth time so far, “i’m merely human! What could i do??”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8AcT6f6iG
“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?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMVe9DoHC7
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???”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2i0uf1f2I
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.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8Hy9B4ngZ
“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.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxW4reo3pb
Theodore hummed soft, “i mean..if you want, i could talk to the Universal Counsel and see if i can stay longer to help—“
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6AIvVTQeh
“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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki8AInG74k
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8QCnQnyeA
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..”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMwr50lv7D
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?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9KytiBeMw
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO2hr4v4Yk
“Okay, Theodore, let’s begin..” she smiled soft, holding her hand out to him. “Shake on it, and swear you’ll stay and help?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYZvjum4R0
Theodore smirked, shaking her hand, “deal..”
