Chapter song: Home- The Dangerous Summer

Chapter 1: Running Home

I was running. Everything was so blurry. It felt like I had detached my stomach and left it somewhere else. It took me awhile to figure out where I was. The past. Not my past. That's for sure. This world looked so new. Not like the one I come from.

Even the air smelt newer. I'd heard stories of the world when it was like this but I never could even begin to imagine.

I finally realized that I was on a busy highway at night. And I was still running—naked.

One of the many draw backs of time travel.

I decided to come out the shadows. I had to. There's no way I could run all the way to their house. As soon as I did this a gold sedan skidded to a halt. There was just one male inside. Without a weapon I had to hope beyond hope that I would at least frighten this man by the sheer fact that I looked like a crazy running around on the highway naked.

"Get out!" Surprised at how hoarse my voice sounded. I swung the door open as hard as I could. The man got out willingly. This man made me laugh a bit as I drove away, he would never last a minute were I come from.

I drove until I found some sort of clothing store. Of course it was closed given the late hour.

There was a rock in a make-shift garden near the store. I picked it up and threw it in the window's dead center. As I expected the alarm immediately went off. So I grabbed the first thing I saw and ran.

The car was still waiting for me once I had my clothes on. I knew where I was going. He always told me if I ever had to go back this is where they'd be.

Driving wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. My mother always made sure that I knew the rules of the road, even though we didn't have a need for them in the future. She taught me them just in case I needed to go down time. My mother,I thought to myself, she always took every precaution that was possible. I wonder what her younger-self would be like. Would she look like me? In the future she did, but the war wore her out. But she tried her best not to let in get to her.

The future was rough on all of us. But all of our stressors paled in comparison to my father's. The man seriously looked like he was caring the weight of the world on his shoulders --scratch that--the weight of the universe on his shoulders. I also wonder what he was like nowadays. Soon I would see them both. "This is gonna be weird" I said to myself.

I pulled up into a driveway. Mom had given me the location of the house they were staying in at this point in the timeline. The house was fairly large to me. I could see lights were on upstairs. I decided to park my car and approach the front door.

A woman answered right after the first ring. Dark hair, brown eyes, mid to late thirties.

Crows feet were forming near her eyes like mom's. She seem very hostile with one hand behind her back. Most likely a gun was the first thing that came to my mind. I knew exactly who this was and she wasn't my mother.

"Can I help you?" she probably thought I was crazy just standing here not saying anything. I made sure to clear my voice so I wouldn't sound as harsh as it did with that man.

"Sarah Connor?" It was better not to beat around the bush.

"Who wants to know?" I saw her grip on the gun tighten and decided to give her the answer the fastest way I knew how. I rolled up my left sleeve of my sweatshirt and showed her my work camp brand.

"I was sent by John." Next thing I knew I was being pulled in the forayer.

"Derek!" Oh great let's get my great uncle who absolutely ignores me in on this little powwow. Well its not like he even knows he's my uncle.

"What Sa—What are you doing here?" He looked totally bewildered.

Author's Note: All right. I have like half of the second chapter finish, so give me a couple of reviews and I'll post it. I pretty much have the whole thing outlined so I want to warn ya'll that the rating will most likely change to M to be safe. Oh, and one more thing, this is my first fanfic ever. So I'm sorry if its not up to par. I promise I get better and chapter two to me is AMAZING!
