This is sooooo random but I thought u guys might like a time travel story...
2010
Prologue
SPOV
My life was nothing... I had literally nothing my father was dead, my mother too, my step mother was here but had no interest in me, and my two sisters had lives. Yet I thought back to the terms of the olden days, as the oldest of three you were doomed. The only thing good in life was my only friend Justin. Who was honestly a huge nerd and had plans to send me back in time for his science project.
I didn't really know what to think of that, but he was all that I had so I went along with his crazy nerdy schemes and once even got trapped in a plastic bubble once. It was what he said was a "Journey" that most people would never take. I at the time just simply thought that, that "journey" was one meant only for hamsters.
"Sophie come on I'm just going to send you back a couple minutes and send you right back... And if they need more proof send you farther back and get you to come back with a souvenir." He begged quickly before the professors burst into the brightly lit science lab that Justin could practically call home.
"Okay..." I whispered as to him before he went to greet the professors and thank them for the experiment grant for his project.
"This Dr. frankenweiner, and Dr. Houser, is my lovely assistant Sophie Hatter." Justin introduced me to them.
"Pleasure to meet you." I said as I shook there hands and they both uttered 'you too'.
Justin started to explain his many theories and removed the sheet from his machine and the two professors jaws dropped. I turned to face the machine I was to be strapped into; it was a huge circular machine with a metal chair that was attached to the base. (Which was also a circle for that matter.)
I tugged on the strap of my blue backpack as I stepped up onto the machine as Justin motioned for me to do so. He rattled on as he strapped me into the machine about space, time, and true genius.
He clicked a few buttons on the control panel and the machine began to spin.
"Oh shit, I think I may have sent her back to far. So erm.. she might be a bit older when she gets back." Justin yelled over the hum of the machine. And suddenly I was sucked into what can only be described as a swirling vortex.
After what seemed hours later I fell onto the street of what appeared to be some old town in the 1800's.
Even after I wandered the streets for a few minutes no one seemed to notice me. Did people randomly pop up like this normally around here?
"Hello um.. ma'm where am I?" I asked.
"Market chipping." The woman chirped pleasantly before going her own way.
Market chipping I thought to myself looking around. What kind of town is this?
A town from the very, very distant past, I thought mentally slapping myself.
"Soph. What the hell have you gotten yourself into this time?" I muttered to myself strolling off into the town in hopes of finding a wormhole of sorts back.
JPOV
I'd done something wrong when I had sent her back either that or the machine malfunctioned but I wasn't going to say that the machine malfunctioned.
"S-she's gone..." I said falling to the ground.
"Isn't that what's supposed to happen?" asked Dr. Frankenweiner.
"Not that far... Look at the computer hook up it says she's back well... WAYYYYYYYYY back in time like in 'magical' times" I said curling up in a ball as he rushed to the computer and started looking.
"Where exactly is Ingary" He said looking at me.
"OH god! T-that's near Wales or at least it was once, supposedly."
I sent my best and only friend into fairytale land. Oh god I'm screwed.
"Well look at some point she'll come back. What we need to know is if she has a way of communicating with us from this place." Dr. Houser questioned.
"She may have her phone!"
Who knows maybe she has 4 bars in fariytale land.
I grabbed out my phone and dialed in her number hoping it'd work. As it rang I put it on speaker. After a few rings someone picked up.
"Justin?" Sophie asked her voice clearly panicked.
"Yeah Soph. Okay so I'm going to cut to the chase sense it's doubtful we'll be in contact for awhile. How do I say this, I think I sent you to fairytale land basically so don't be surprised if you see Harry potter there." I joked, afraid for my friend.
She let out a shaky laugh, "I'll tell you if I do."
"Good, but Sophie listen. It may take you awhile to get back so look how do I say this. You might be older... When you get back, so don't be surprised if it's been a few years for you. But for us it shouldn't be too long. But if you speak to me again, I can't tell you what is occurring only that you need to do this yourself." I told her.
"I will-" She said before she got cut off.
"So who's up for poker?" I asked them and they nodded.
"Sounds good. But what about us going after her?" Dr. Houser asked.
"It's not worth it plus we need to be here waiting, because honestly if we go we might lose her or just miss her." I reasoned and they sighed settling down at a table to set up a game of cards.
