The Time Stream
1346 Words
Kassandra brings Alyra to her room for the night to rest and gather her thoughts. I fell asleep thinking about everything that has happen in my life right from the start. A jolt of shock went through my body and woke me up.
I noticed my room changed a bit there was several bubbles floating in the air with my thoughts and memorize of some part of my life in each and everyone of them. I grab a bubble of a memory when me and Caleb just started going together in secrecy so Max wouldn't find out. I stared at the bubble feeling my heart drop just looking at him. Eventually I fall back asleep.
The next day which I assume with the light shinning through my window panes with a single red rose. Kassandra knocks on my door before coming in. She notices the bubbles floating around my room while saying "good..you are learning quickly how the time stream works. Each bubble represents a part of your life, and you can change any part you like while you are here, but remember what I told you. The longer you are here the worse it is for your body.
I ask Kassandra "how do I physically go into a bubble to enter that time?" Kassandra says "all you need to do is just hold it close to your heart, and concentrate on that moment in time while closing your eyes. When you open them you will be in that moment. To come back here all you have to do is call out to me, and I will bring you back here".
I ask Kassandra "I have a question but its personal to you?" Kassandra says "what do you want to know?" I ask Kassandra "how did you ever become the guardian of this place?" Kassandra pauses and looks at her hands before answer my question. "I was involved with a forbidden love which went very wrong. I loved a pure blood werewolf like you, and he already had a mate. We fell in love. His mate forbid him to be with me since I was a witch, and he needed to perform his duties as an Alpha to his people. Another werewolf attacked me, and he tried to save me. By doing that the council order my execution to be done by his hand, but he could not... so his mate did. To make sure we would never be together not only in that life time, but also in the next".
I felt sorry for Kassandra situation and how she was condemned for loving someone that her heart longed for. My situation on the other hand had changed with me and Caleb. I had such a hard time seeing him with another, and my feelings drifted off to what my two mates had done to me. My mind is so confused and yet my heart and soul is not whole.
My mind was called away from my thoughts when I heard my children laughing in another bubble. I grabbed the bubble and stared at my pups while they played in the backyard of the mansion together. Tears start forming in my eyes, and Kassandra left my room.
After taking time to calm myself I start looking at each and everyone of the bubbles, but one doesn't look to be mine. Its from 1800's by the look of the clothing, and one of the men look like a younger version of Asher. I don't understand why this memory is here.
I almost dropped the bubble, and I tried catching it before it burst, but unfortunately I held it close to my heart and of course I closed my eyes just before I dropped to the floor. When I open my eyes I wasn't in my room, but in that point and time. Out of all the panicking and fear I forgot that i could call out for Kassandra to bring me back. I traveled around in the woods like a lost pup not knowing the direction and where the hell I am. I finally came to a road which lead to a mansion. I knock on the door hoping I can get help. The younger version of Asher answered the door and said "what are you doing here Luna, and did you walk all the way here by yourself? What are you wearing?" Asher grabs me gently and brings me into his mansion. He says "my Luna and love what is gotten into you". I looked at him so confused and not knowing what to say to him.
He grabs a blanket and rushes me to Luna's room which was on the second floor on the right side of the mansion. He says "take a hot bath and change your clothes if you call them that, and meet me down in the foyer I need to talk to you".
I take a bath and open the Luna's closet and she has wonderful dresses. I grab an empire dress and check for some shoes. The funny thing her clothes and shoes fit me perfectly. I walk down and meet a young version of Asher who was playing a beautiful piece on an old piano. He finally recognize me and says "what is going with you my love? If you wanted to come and see me I would have sent my coach to go and pick you up.
Asher came in close to kiss me and I back off from him. Asher says "you are a werewolf but you are not my Luna. Who are you? and what are you doing here?" I tell Asher "I am just a lost girl". Asher says "you look so much like my mate it is uncanny, the only difference my mate has black hair long like yours, and you have dark brown long hair. You look exactly like her.
Thank you for the clothes but I need to go. Asher grabs my wrist and says "answer my questions" while he tightens his grip on me. I said " my name is Alyra Spencer, and for your second question I am lost". Asher keeps staring at me and says "come with me". I follow Asher out of the mansion and he takes me through the woods near a small cottage. Asher knocks on the door, and a younger version of Kassandra answers the door. Asher ask the witch to keep an eye on me, and to bring me back to the mansion in the morning. The witch bows to Asher, but I caught a glimpse of him holding her chin softly with his hand.
I stayed at the cottage with the younger version of Kassandra. She tells me "there is a war coming soon little wolf, and it will defined that any supernaturals will survive, and if we win the war against the humans we at least can continue the generations of werewolves, witches, vampires, demons, and pixies. You are here for a different reason aren't you. You look so much like her, Asher's mate".
"Asher's mate disappeared a few weeks now. I believe Asher going to get you to take her place by his side until he can find her. No one will think twice that you are not Luna. You are her twin in every way". I cannot do that. I need to leave this place. Younger Kassandra says "your a time traveler..aren't you?" I tell Kassandra "yes, and I have to leave this place". Kassandra says "you came for a reason and everything happens for a reason little wolf. Just help Asher until we can find his real Luna". I tell Kassandra "I have no clue how to act in this time". Kassandra says "I can teach you everything you need to know being a girl in this time, but Asher has to teach you how to represent yourself in council meetings and decision making. Please help us".
I cave in and say "yes I will help until Luna shows up, then I need to get back to my time".
