Alright, here is the sequel to Frozen Love. If you haven't read that yet, go back and do so, because absolutely none of this will make any sense otherwise, and it will just be a random character that you don't know.
Frozen
Previously:
I screamed for everything to stop, and a cold silence stretched out around me. I reached out and crushed all movement, all thought. I did not harm anything, but I ceased everything. Nothing moved, nothing breathed.
Time was dead around me, and I was completely alone.
Virgo POV
I felt helpless, useless. I had run away from my problems, unable to do anything about them. Wait. I thought, realizing what I had done. I looked around, back in my own yard, and saw that everything was still. I slowly moved over to Edward, still cradling the glowing Bella's head. I waved my hand in front of his face, and then pushed him back. No reaction.
I moved to Jacob, and saw his eyes open, with no expression in them at all. They're frozen…Everything is frozen! I realized. I stepped back out into the universe, and observed the Earth. Nothing moved. I had really frozen time.
That means…that I have forever to figure this out! I can take as long as I want, and no one will even know! I ran as fast as my infant's legs could take me up to where Mom and Dad were sitting, both staring emptily into space. Poor Mom and Dad. Why did Orion have to do that? Why did he have to be bad? I wondered, trying to figure out what to do.
Hmmm…Where can I find information on how to work this time…freezing…thing? Wait, Carlisle has everything in his library. He might even have some stuff that could help me out! With this thought, I ran upstairs, throwing open Carlisle's study door.
I stared around at all of the books, glad that I had learned how to read from Edward's mind. He was so smart, he knew every word there ever was! I walked forward, and looked on the bottom shelf of the nearest book case. Hmm…I need to be taller if I want to get all of these books. I pulled a chair over to the book case, climbing on top of it to see the next two shelves. I saw a book that looked really important, by some weird guy I had never heard of.
I grabbed it, since it had the word 'time' in its title. I threw it gently onto Carlisle's desk, so that I could grab other books before starting to read.
After some time (it's frozen, who knows how long I've been here?), I jumped back onto the chair to grab my large stack of books, including all of Carlisle's vampire journals. Alright, Virgo, time for you to read. If you can't figure it out here, then you need to find out where you can. Now, on the count of three. One…Two…Three!
xXx
I finished all thirty-two of Carlisle's books, but I was still completely confused about the whole 'time' thing. What does it mean, 'time is relative'? The only relatives I know are the people I live with! Wait…Dictionary! I thought, jumping up to find a dictionary.
Let's see…Relative! Relative: Existing or having its specific nature only by relation to something else; not absolute or independent. Eg. Happiness is relative. I read out, memorizing the exact definition. Hmmm…Happiness is relative? 'Time is relative'. Hmmm…That must mean, that time can be affected by something else! Well, duh! I stopped it!
Well, if I stopped it, maybe I can go to a different time, too! I should find myself! I know that I'll be able to help me! I launched myself out into the entirety of space, and felt around for the presence I knew as Time. I began looking around the world, and thought of different times. I knew that I would be somewhere in the future, but I had no clue where.
After searching for another short period of time, I finally found myself, frozen in mid-step. I was in the day of Jun 3, 2035. Wow, that isn't very far from now. Why do I look so old? I should only be like…four, or something.
I returned to my body, now that I knew where I was in the future. Now, time to try something out! I felt around the Earth, and found the place where I would be in a few years. Then, I just pushed the two little ends of the Earth together, so that I was staring right at the Big Ben tower in London. Stepping over the little gap, I let go of the Earth, feeling it spring back into its normal shape. Thank you, Wheel of Time. I had read an entire fiction series from Carlisle's study, just because it had the word 'time' in it. I read the first bit, but then got hooked, so I kept reading it. I mean, I have forever, don't I? Plus, it taught me how to 'travel'. I thought, using the term in the book.
I looked around at all of the frozen people, and felt somewhat sad at being all alone. Okay, get over it, Virgo. Time to move forward through time! I thought. I willed time forward, and I felt it creeping, but the people were still completely frozen, no one having moved at all.
Hmmm… I thought, and then decided to try something. Time is different on Earth than other planets, since Time is completely relative. So…What if there is a giant clock that controls the Earth's time in relation to all the other places in space? That thought made me curious, wanting to try something other than what I had been thinking. Ouch, my head is going to hurt after this… I thought, referring to all of my random trains of thought.
I reached out, and wrapped my mind around the Earth's gravitational field, and I could feel a separate flow of time than around the next planet, Mars. I returned to my body, still holding the Time Field. I then shaped it into a clock, and began fiddling with the levers. Let's see…Date, June 3, 2035. Time? 12:35 and 42 seconds.
As I fiddled with the controls, I noticed everything around me changing very quickly. I looked up once I was finished, and I found that I was staring right at myself, except much larger.
I let go of the Earth's Time Field, and then took only mine. I pulled myself away from the current time zone, out of the frozen position. Older me gasped as she stumbled forward, clearly shocked at having suddenly coming un-frozen. "What…Virgo?" she asked, looking down at me, still an infant. I need help! I shouted to her, forgetting that I could speak. "What? Virgo, how did you…oh, oh yes. I remember now. I did this same exact thing when…That just happened! I forgot, time travel can be so disorienting. I remember asking myself for help, learning everything that I could about my powers.
"There is only so much that I can teach you, however. I can only teach you what I taught myself way back then, even though I know more, now. I think that this is the only thing about us that is set in stone, that I was supposed to teach you the basics of our power."
So, you can't teach me everything? I asked, my voice scared. What if she couldn't teach me how to fix Bella?
"Virgo, listen to me. The most important things that I can teach you, are time travel, and space distortion. You must be warned though, that time travel is very dangerous. Sometimes, things can happen that shouldn't, and the universe needs to balance it out. Don't ever time travel, unless you have to. The reason I didn't save Bella here, was because I wasn't supposed to save her. In my time, she is still frozen.
"This is however, only one time." She said, seeing my destroyed face. Huh? I asked her, confused. "Honey, Time is completely relative, completely flexible. If something happens in your time, it will change mine. The future is never the same, no matter how many times we go through it. When I found myself at your age, the Volturi had revealed vampires' existence, and vampires ruled the world. But now, that is different. Do you get it?"
I thought for a few moments, then I finally realized what she was saying; nothing is set in stone. So, if I find out how to change Bella back, then my future will be different from this one? I asked. She nodded. "Even if you don't, yours will still be different. That is just how things are.
Okay. I think I get it. Can we get on with learning? Even though time is frozen, I am still anxious to get back to Bella. I need to find out how to fix her!
"Fine, we'll get started. But, I can't make any promises on you fixing her."
I know it's much shorter than all of my other chapters, but bear with me. Please review, and all reviews are welcome, particularly constructive critisism. No flames, but if you don't like it, please tell me what you don't like.
