Timeless fanfiction One Shot
Lucy looked over her shoulder at the car. Wyatt had brought her home. Now she stood in front of the house she grew up in. Or thought she did.
She and her mother both could have come when she was sixteen or something because her mother did not have cancer since the Hindenburg accident that played out differently and that changed history, so the present. Lucy had experienced it first hand. Her sister was never born, her father was not biological father, what she had never known if history never changed. She was engaged and it made her sad. Everything made her kind of sad.
Everything she had known had changed and she didn't know what to do to change it back. To make it again how it was before Flynn had taken the time machine and to change American history. He had succeeded. She woke up to change. To a different present.
She just wanted to sleep and be left alone and forget everything that had happened when they were on the Titanic. To see the unsinkable ship sink with her own eyes, her face to face by the boats on deck with Flynn who was safe in the last boat. The key did she put in the keyhole and turned her wrist, opening the wooden front door.
"Lucy!" her mothers voice filled her ears the moment she opened the door. "Yes it is me." "Can you come here for a moment." Lucy let out a breath. Not now, Lucy thought.
The clicking of heels came towards her. "What happened to you?" her mothers eyes looking at her daughter with wide eyes full of shock. Her mother's hand touched Lucy's cheek softly.
"Uhm. Nothing." Her mother's eyebrows raised up. Knowing her daughter was not telling the whole truth. "Can we talk about it some other time." Her mother nodded and did let her daughter past her, Lucy walking up the stairs. "And Lucy, do not forget lunch tomorrow." Lucy turned around to look down at her mother. "I have to get to work first."
Her mother did let out a deep sign. "What has gotten into you? You are acting strange lately and now work is more important than lunch with me and your fiance who gives you the space you need." Lucy walked down the stairs and walked into the living room, taking place on the beige couch.
"How do you know mom?" Lucy asked her mother who still stood in the doorway, looking at her daughter with worry. "He called me two nights ago. I have arranged lunch so come, please. Let this not change anything between the both of you. You guys need to talk about what is going on. You have to tell him or me what is going on."
Lucy held her head in her hands for a moment before she stood up and spoke. "I will but not now, now is not the right time." And with that Lucy went to bed. She was tired and the treat on her life was clear in her mind. Flynn was coming for her if she wouldn't work with him. And she couldn't tell anyone besides Rufus or Wyatt.
"Flynn is nowhere to be found since your Titanic adventure, and now he has not used the mother ship for two days and we don't know why." Wyatt looked over at Denise. "And now we just wait for him to show up?" Lucy looked over at Wyatt for a moment. "Yes. That is exactly what we have to do." Said Denise. Rufus walked towards the group. "We almost died in the cold icy waters and now we have to wait till he shows up to do God knows what." Lucy started to lose her composure more and more.
"If Anthony is seen let me talk to him. I know who he really is." Everyone looked over at him. "I agree with him." Said Wyatt. "Also Flynn threatened Lucy. And we will help each other out." "Thank you." Lucy said a bit taken back. Lucy looked at her wrist watch. "Great. I have lunch. So call me once he goes back to wherever he goes to. I do not want anything else changed." Lucy said. "Lunch with who?" Wyatt looked over at her. Rufus looked surprised. "Still getting engaged?" Lucy's eyes rolled. "My mother arranged lunch and I am sure she will dislike it if I do not come. She already worries about me because of the first night I came home and freaked out." "We will bring you." Wyatt said.
"Will we?" Rufus big open eyes looked over at the two who now looked over at him. "Come on. I do not want to be late." The three of them looked over at Lucy's car. "We will be right behind you." Lucy opened the driver's door and got in. Her coat on the passenger seat. "Drive safe." She said and drove of. The guys following her from a distance.
Lucy got out of the car and entered the parking lot of the cafeteria. It was beautiful. It had a summer like theme and the smell of sea food and delicious spices filled her noses trills. Noah smiled his sweet smile at her from the distance. He has been so kind to her the entire time after she found out she was engaged to him without knowing him. Her mother waved, Lucy waved back, at the moment he stood behind her and people started to scream. "Hello Lucy." The click of a gun heard from behind her.
Lucy turned around to look straight into a gun that was pointed straight at her. "You do not want them to see how you get shot right?" he pointed with his free hand towards her mother and fiance that saw everything like a show before their eyes. "Leave them out of this." She said bitterly. Her eyes filled with salty water because she was scared. Of course she was scared. This man killed his own family. "You are coming with me. You always stand in my way and I can't have that next time." He walked towards her.
Lucy took a step back. She saw Noah move from the corner of her eye. "I will shoot her if you take one more step!" he yelled at Noah who stopped to move immediately. A terrifying scream filled the air as Flynn held her in front of him. His free arm around her neck, the other one pointing the gun against her head. Ready to shoot. "You let go of her right now." "Whyatt." Lucy's voice a soft whisper. "What do you wanna do? Shoot me with the chance of injuring her in front of her mother and fiance."
Wyatt looked over at his right, looking at Lucy's family. Noah stood there, thinking of what to do to get the love of his life out of harms way. The two men looked at each other, speaking without words to one another. Knowing what to do. Getting Lucy to safety. "I am not alone." Wyatt spoke as he was concentrated at Lucy.
"He indeed isn't." Rufus pointed the gun at Flynn's back. A loud shot fired. The sounds moved closely by her ear. The breeze of wind moving her hair like a leaf in the cold breeze of autumn. The strong grip on her neck was gone and as she turned around he lied there, bleeding slowly to death. "Flynn. Tell me what you know!" She yelled at him.
Wyatt pulled her away from him, running away with her against her. "He knows things about me Wyatt." She looked at him with her hazel colored eyes that looked like chocolate brown in this certain light. "We can talk about it later." "No we can't." Wyatt looked at her with caring eyes as he continued. "Your fiance is coming. Let's talk later." Lucy nodded her head slightly as she turned around to see Noah, the guy she knew for just five days, ran up to her. "Lucy are you alright?" he asked full of worry, taking her face in his warm caring hands. "I'm, I'm fine." She said. Noah guiding her away to his car.
Lucy's mother finally woke up out of the shock. As Lucy walked away, with Noah's arm around her, did she look over her shoulder to look at Wyatt who looked at her still. Rufus came to stand beside him, his big lips moving. "Let's go home." Lucy did not say anything. It wasn't her home. Not her real one at least.
Rufus bowed towards Wyatt as spoke. "He is handsome. A straight guy like me even can see that. She has done well." Wyatt looked at him and responded before he walked away. "Yeah, only if it was her choice."
