"Mia" they called in unison but their presence was soon forgotten by me after seeing the round and dark red, with bright white cloud and some distant white spot floating mid air. What interested me most was the little coloured hole that was widening.
When my dad noticed it was widening he asked if I made it and I shook my head, he then told me to get away from there. Jack asked what it was, I didn't know, so I moved closer to see clearly. As I took a step, my parents shouted at me asking what I was doing and I replied them that I wanted to know what it was.
"We know you are a genius, you don't have to prove anything to us, please." Jack said and I turned to him and rolled my eyes at him.
I took another step forward but the angryworried voice of my dad stopped me.
"Mia come back here" I reluctantly complied but my curiosity kept growing and growing much fasting than the floating colorful circle in my room
"I am going to check this thing out. So, you guys stay back". My dad said and my mom told him to be careful.He went a bit closer to it and stared at it. I too did the same from where I stood. It was getting bigger and a bit windier. As it was getting bigger, I was able to see the colours clearly. Then, I realized what it was.
It was a wormhole, but why. Why would a wormhole emerge just when my time machine sparked. I mumbled to myself while Jack just looked at me like a crazy person.
My eyes widened in realization that it wasn't just a wormhole, it was a gateway to another time. I didn't put a date in the time machine before I switched it on. So I didn't know where it was going to take the person that walked through it.
"What happened?" Jack asked as I widened my eyes. I didn't answer, I just shouted at dad to get away from the wormhole.
"A wormhole?" My dad asked as he turned around
Unfortunately the hole was only getting bigger and windier. As dad turned around, it started to pull him into it. "Dad" we shouted as we ran and tried pulling him away from the hole but we weren't strong enough. It kept getting bigger and windier and pulled him with more force. My dad kept shouting at us to let go of him so that we didn't get sucked in too.
"This is all my fault," I murmured as the hole had dad on the air with Mom, Jack and I pulling his hand and it pulling his leg. As we were pulling a thought came to my mind. As the hole wasn't that big if one person went in, it should close up but I wasn't about to let dad be the scape goat. I wasn't sure it would work but I had to try. Since I was the one who caused the problem I decided I should be the one to get in. Of course, I didn't tell anyone because I knew they wouldn't agree.
As we were pulling dad towards ourselves I was moving to his back slowly and Jack shouted so I'll hear what he was saying as the wind was noisy.
"Mia are you about to do what I think you want to do? Don't even think about it". He kept shouting but I didn't say anything.
"Mia I'm talking to you" he screamed
"It happened because of my over ambition. It's my fault and I should be the one responsible for fixing it"
"What are you two screaming about Mia don't do anything. Now's not the time to act responsibly" my Dad shouted
Jack threw me a begging look then shouted to my dad hoping he could stop me buy he was too late.
"Dad, Mia..." Those were the last words I heard from my brother before letting go of my dad's leg and getting sucked into the wormhole.
*******
As Mia went into the wormhole it disappeared and the absence of the strong wind made her dad fall.
He stood up almost immediately as he reached the floor, and asked:
"Where's Mia" Jack couldn't say anything, he just stood at where the wormhole was and was staring.
"Where is Mia?" He asked again looking around,
"Where is she?" He shouted again shaking Jack as tears fell down his cheek.
Jack just pointed to where the wormhole was unable to do anything but let tears roll down in cheeks.
"No, no, no, she didn't go in. No " Her mom said with tears.
"Where is she?" She cried hysterically shaking her dad.
Both her bother and father just stood unmovingly like statues while tears roll down their cheeks
"Where is my daughter?" He mother kept on asking with a hoarse voice.
Jack fell to the ground and said in a low voice with tears rolling from his eyes, "She went in ma" he said then looked at his parents smiling.
"She went. False hope has" Jack shouted and punched the wall.
"She couldn't. She wouldn't?" Her mom lamented and cried.
Her brother on the floor bawling his eyes out, her mom crying hysterically murmuring words only she could understand, and her dad holding her mom tightly with a silent but teary face. Self hatered in his eyes, blame, anger, pain, regret and yet he could only think of one thing:
"What will happen to Mia"
