I was sitting in the sofa quietly. Observing the clock I used before coming here.It was all fixed and new but still not working. I stared at it blankly. Just then, Colton came and sat down beside me.
We were silent but I had few questions to ask him. I finally gathered the courage to speak up, "Are you mad at me...for not telling you that Im not the real Leo?"
Colton was the most calm and gentle one in the group. I never saw him shouting or disobeying Nathan's orders. My question didnt even make him flinch. He sighed and tried to answer,"Im not mad. Just amazed...and confused. "
R,"Do you also have visions?"
C,"I dont. I still cant remember a single thing happened in my past life. But Esmay said the door memories is open so I can see them anytime soon. "
R,"Do you want to-"
C,"Honestly...No."
R,"...Nathan was such a cheerful guy. Since that day He kept treating me like a stranger. Did I do something wrong... "
C,"Nathan has his own reasons to be strict. I can tell he's desperate to see the person he lost in his past life. Since he's the main character of the mission...he's most likely to be in pressure. Esmay is worried about her friend and both of them are scared that the memories will spread quickly.
We should carry out the plan. It's for the best."
Thanks to Colton's long speech, I can understand what Nathan is feeling. My mind went blank. I again stared at the clock. Colton noticed it.
C, "Did you really use it to travel here?!? With this...old clock. It must be a treasure."
I felt tired and slammed the clock on a Book. I tried to walk away carelessly just then Colton called me back. I turned around to see him shocked. I followed his eyes and saw the book changing it's color and shape. It's now more like a history book or something.
I quickly sat back down on the sofa and picked up the book. I felt Colton coming closer to take a better look. "Did the clock just a change this book?!?"
I opened the book and read out the topics. It was a whole history of past time travelers and use of many tool. Conditions and missions. Rules and boundaries. I was shocked but at the same time happy to find it.
Colton and I both read half of the book and pointed out important parts. At last we were tired and decided to close the book.I closed it and placed the clock back on it. As expected, It turned it to a normal book.
C,"So....the time travelers will be gifted with a supernatural power. There were so many written down there. Which one is yours?"
My power...? I've been living in this world for almost a year but I still haven't discovered my power. Do I even have one?
[That day on the picnic bus]
Flora walked out of the bus to look for Emma. But she was nowhere to be seen.
The bus exit was faced toward the road. Just then, She saw Emma on the other side of the door
Waving at her, she started crossing the road without looking around.
Suddenly, A car started coming toward her In a high speed.
She realized but it was too late.
The car was only a hand away.
She screamed.
A wild wind blows away right beside her.
Opening her eyes
Flora was wrapped around with Leos arm.
〖"End"〗
Just then I realised what my power is. It's the speed as lightning. I can run like wind. Noone can see me When I do it. I saved her from the accident but she never figured it out.
I never used my healing chances eighter. That night I had a serious injury while wandering around in the forest. Next morning I woke up and saw Lora's cloth tied aeound my injury. It was no use since The wound is already healed. I decided to find our way out with my powers. But I need to conw back before she wakes up.
I failed. Bythe time I reached. She already awake. I pretending that the wound still hurts cause I didnt want to creep her out.
In our way, The clock reminds me that I crossed the line and I'll be wiped out from everyone's memory. It was a big let down for me. If Lora forget's who I am...I can never approach her. I never had the time to think out a solution. I quickly used my power and ran away from that place.
A week passed. My whole week thoughts were about how she forgot about me.
Until one day, Esmay called Colton and invited us to a place. Including Lora with her. She also assured me that Lora never forgot about me. was it possible because...we were already connected?
Everytime Lora tells me that she's nervous and unsure about saving Astrid from that world, I could only hear the words Astrid told me before I came here. She believes that Lora can save her and she's waiting.
I dont know if my words were encouraging enough but I just wanted her to come back safely.
That day when she entered the door infront of Esmay and me,
E, "You wanna go back?"
I couldnt answer.
E, "Arent you scared? She'll soon face the heartless 'you'."
L, "I have nothing to lose anymore."
Everyday after that felt like Im only waiting. Waiting for her return. I couodnt tell when The time passed so quickly. I watched everyone forgetting their memories of each other. They all forgot...except for me.
Is it a curse...? Why am I the only one aware of everything. Guess it's just until her return.
That day was a miracle. I saw her standing infront of me. In her thoughts, I dont remember anything. When I still remember every moment we spent together.
I was scared to approach her...I was scared to speak the truth. Tell her...that Im that cruel Prince who pushed her away. Im that heartless person....she spent everyday with until she traveled there and faced that me.
She came back but It still felt like a ...waiting.
