AN: Hello World! This is my first fanfict! I've been reading fanfiction for years, and now I get to finally post my own! I love constructive critisicm, so please comment and review :D

Oh, by the way, I don't own Ruby Red or any of the characters or plots. I'm just playing with them. Major thank-you shoutout to Kerstin Gier!


Everyone thinks that I'm spoiled. That I'm lucky. That I'm gifted. But the truth is, I never wanted this. My mother wanted it for me. She wanted me to be special, to be the one with the cursed gene. She got into my head, convinced me that this was what I wanted too. But when Gwenyth ended up being the time-traveler, was I disappointed? No. I was glad. Happy. Ecstatic. But of course my mother wasn't. She was furious that Gwen had stolen my gene. I was more like, Hey, you want this curse? Please, take it! I don't want it! And oh, by the way, no returns! I thought my life would get better, once I didn't have to worry about the stupid Circle or chronographs or magical ravens. Everything should be great, right? But now Gideon is off with Gwen, having great adventures and growing closer every minute. And since my whole life has been dedicated to training for time traveling, I've been so cut off from having any friends, so no one at school wants to hang out. Well, maybe it's for the better. I have absolutely no idea what normal, non-time traveling teenagers do for fun. I have nothing to do at home because everyone in my family except Mother and Lady Arista hate me. So let's see, I have no friends, no Gideon, my family hates me, oh, and thanks to my extensive schooling outside of school, I don't even have homework to spend my time on. And Gideon wishes he could be in my place? Well, let me tell you something Gideon. The grass isn't always greener on the other side.


Okay, review review review! Thanks everyone :D
