Katrina Kuznetsov's POV.
"so what exactly is that emerald for?" I asked Conall as he was busy typing in the codes into the computer that was connected to the mainframe.
"the emerald has a unique sequence of crystalline that can help me to maintain the sustainability of the time machine and it will not blow up," he said before I looked at him.
"Hopefully," he said as he went around the machine to tap wiring and connect the wire.
"so you just want the emerald to hold it steady for how long?" I said. He just shrugged at me.
"I don't know. I don't have the full estimation of the pros and cons of the time machine travel. Isn't it exciting?" He said as he was walking around again. I was following behind him.
"look, all this madness was nuts and crazy. You're Crazy," I exclaimed at him as he was ignoring me again and again.
"I am not crazy. I was trying to prove a point," he said as the building started to warm up. A knock interrupted us as his butler showed up at the door.
"Sir, your package has arrived," he said before Conall went to pick it up.
"thank you, you may leave," he said before he opened up the box like a child during Christmas morning. I snorted at his behavior before clearing my throat.
"here we are," he said as he took out the emerald. My mother's emerald.
"What a beauty," he said before moving to the machine, "to be used for the benefits of the mankind," he said as he was trying to put the emerald in the machine.
"no!" I screamed as I went to hold him back.
"what are you doing?" He hissed at me as I interrupted his process.
"saving my mother's jewelry from abuse use from people like you," I said as I strained myself from him. For a lean man, he was tough and strong.
"Katrina, let. go," he said as he tried to pull me.
"never!" I said as I went to pull it against him. We were pulling each other out until something happened. We did not even know that the friction of our push and pull action has caused the machine to activate. We were screaming at each other before sudden poof, we were gone from the present day.
"Sir, you have a message from Sir Edmond. Sir? Sir?" The butler returned to see that everyone was gone.
I tried to open my eyes as I was lying on the grass. My head was feeling heavy as I was trying to get up from the landing.
"We really stuck the landing," I said as I was sitting up to see the surrounding. It was a vast scenery of meadow. I don't know where I was and Conall was nowhere to be found.
"Katrina!" Someone shouted my name. I was looking around as I was trying to locate where those noises came from.
"Conall! Conall!" I shouted as I was trying to find Conall in this forest. It was almost dawn and I was all alone in the forest.
"Where are you?" Conall shouted again as I was trying to locate him.
"I don't know. Where are you?" I shouted back. It was silent before I heard something move behind me.
"Conall?" I asked as I turned around and was terrified as there wolves that were circling me.
"damn it," I said as I was encircled by them. One wrong move I will be doomed.
"nice doggy," I said as I tried to inch away from them. The wolves snarled at me as I was trying to edge out from their circle.
"Great, now the Alpha knows my exit strategy," I said as I was sighing at my fate. I was looking around as I can't find Conall anywhere. I wished that he would come to save my sorry butt.
"get away from her!" A voice was coming from the forest before a huge tree was shoving down that knocked out the wolves and I was ducking to avoid its blow.
Conall Reid's POV
My hand that was holding the emerald was still hot as I can't move it that much. I was lying somewhere that I don't know and there was nothing for me to identify where were we, where I was. I tried to get up from the ground before blood was rushing to my head as shiny things were on my eyes. I don't know what happened but what I knew, we were teleported to some kind of forest.
"Katrina?" I said as I looked around. Katrina was nowhere to be found. I can help it but be protective of her.
"Katrina!" I shouted as I wanted to make sure that she was okay.
"Conall! Conall!" She shouted back but I can't locate where she was.
"Where are you?" I shouted as I was trying to hear where her voice coming from.
There was a silence before she responded to my call.
"I don't know, where are you?" She shouted as I tried to follow the voice. I need to pass some of the trees as I saw a clearing along the path for me to get through it.
"damn it," I said as I wasn't really paying attention to what happened to my clothes. I just needed to get to Katrina as soon as possible.
"fuck!" I said as I went out of the clearing and there was no one.
"Damn, where are you, Katrina?" I hissed as I was looking around for clues. We were teleported as I don't really know where were we, we just landed in some forest that I don't really know much.
suddenly I heard some hissing and snarling. Wolves, I thought as I knew that familiar voice very much.
"nice doggy," I heard Katrina's voice as she tried to get out of the wolves' circle. I edged to get some sticks that I can use to shoo the wolves away from Katrina. I looked around before I spotted a big trunk that was lying down. I smiled wickedly as a plan was forming in my head.
"let's get you out of there," I whispered as I went behind the trunk and pushed them will all my might.
"come on, Reid, you can do this," I said as I went to push it through the forest. I relax for a while before I screamed to get Katrina's attention.
"get away from her!" I screamed as I pushed the trunk through the forest and it was rolling down toward the wolves. Most of the wolves were getting hit by the trunk and I was screaming for victory. I saw Katrina was sitting down on her knees to avoid the trunk as it was rolling and keep rolling.
"oh yeah!" I said as I was jumping on top of the cliff. Katrina looked at me, bewilder.
"can you not do anything stupid?" She asked as I was getting down toward her. I slid to the side of the cliff as it was slippery for me to walk on it. As I was on the ground at the same level as her, I was smiling like an idiot as I went to her side.
"that could literally kill me," she hissed at me as her hands were on her hips. I smiled wickedly as I just save her life which means she owed her life to me.
"now that I have saved you, you owed it to me," I said as I looked at her. She just stared at me murderously before she wanted to hit me, something was moving around the bushes. Katrina went behind me as she was scared of what might've been.
"what was that?" She said as she was clinging herself to me. I was not expecting her to be scared of something.
"relax, it might be a rabbit or something," I said before a few people were gathering around us with pitchforks and torches. A man was talking while he looked at us expectedly.
How can this day get any better and better?
