Kevin's POV
My thoughts had finally returned to me. I could move. I could see. I could feel it again. The first thing to reach my ears was the sweet sound of my girlfriend's voice calling out to me. For the moment, it was all perfect and I hoped the moment would last forever. I hadn't seen her in a long time. I could feel her hands around me and I was happy. I was right where I wanted to be… and yet, I knew it was the last place I was supposed to be.
Skylar was right. I was going to be completely out of it as long as the time was frozen. I was annoying aware of the ticking seconds. The ordeal was also my transformation into a timekeeper. The very beings that upheld the rules brought my brother to his demise. I finally opened my eyes. Surprisingly, I adjusted to the light almost immediately.
