The year is 2012 where a girl, with long brown hair and a bored expression on her face sat at home. Her home was in an apartment of an old building she didn't know much about. Her mother was working her second job right now, the girl just got home from work and was trying to figure out what to do next.

Her name? Its Aria Montgomery, shes 16 and doesn't go to school, she works in an antique store and doesn't believe in much anymore.

I sighed as I sat there looking at the bills drinking coffee, it was black and disgusting, but I need some sort of caffeine. I rubbed my face and my eyes looked exhausted as I looked around. Its my lunch break right now.

I looked around our old kitchen, the wall paper was peeled back in different ways around the kitchen, the tile on the floor was peeling in certain spots too. I stood up making the chair scratch the floor that resounded around the room making me flinch. I went to the closet and grabbed my old jacket that was warm from the 1800s. I sighed softly looking around the apartment before heading to my first stop which is an antique store. I went inside feeling the hot air hit me making me sigh, my nose was red from the cold as I looked around.

The building was extravagant with glistening items from the past. It always made me curious looking at items wondering where they came from, my personal favorite of time periods was the 1800s. I mean the children workers were so determined, now look at how we live, we are all lazy and take everything for granted.

"ah, aria, I see you're here for mr. mortar" Mrs. Martin said smiling, she is a portly woman with a childish gleam in her eyes I don't think will ever go away. I smiled as she played with her pony tail that was tied at the bottom of her neck. Her hair had streaks of grey while she wore a peasant blouse and a skirt.

"I am" I said walking towards her and rested my arms on the counter. She smiled taking out a box and then shuffled around looking for two others things. "What are you looking for?" I asked curiously and she smiled triumphantly.

"there was something I found you might find interesting." She said absently as she went through a drawer. I taped my fingers absently on the counter before she gave a triumphant noise that made me stop.

I looked at her as she handed me a messenger bag winking. "look at it when you get a chance" she said before turning and leaving me curious. I tucked some hair behind my ear and smiled softly at both were clothes for some dummies that my boss had ordered from her not too long ago.

I then walked down the street where snow and ice was covering the sidewalk. I carefully maneuvered myself around people. A few people looked at me weird with the packages but said nothing to me as I went into the little shop. It's a museum from the time period of 1800s. It was stock full of things that were left behind in warehouses and such.

"mr. Mortar?" I questioned looking around the shop and sighed softly when I got no response, he was probably still on lunch. I set the boxes down and opened the one that was for me. My curiosity was heightened as I saw photos from 1888.I picked one up seeing news paper articles. One caught my eye when I saw a girl that looked exactly like me. She was wearing my jacket I now had on, and my hair…

I was so confused. I saw a necklace around my neck as well it was gorgeous; A locket in the shape of a circle that I wore proudly. I looked further in the box seeing clothes like the ones I was wearing at the time including shoes. I also found the necklace from the picture, but under my face as I looked at the writing in the newspaper I saw the name not aria mind you, but I saw the name Coyote underneath, my eyes seemed more coyoteish then before with the same grin on my face.

"oh my gosh.." I mumbled looking through everything seeing coyote everywhere. I was so surprised. I mean honestly I wasn't expecting this and an indian boy as well as another was beside me every step of the way through the life. His name was wolf and it was so strange. I grabbed the necklace putting it on with gently fingers.

Next thing I knew everything was moving, shaking, and crashing everywhere around me causing me to scream softly. I hid under the table and closed my eyes waiting for it to pass with the box clutched in my fingers.

I soon awoke and looked around seeing everything was different. I slowly moved out from underneath seeing woman with parasols, dresses, cortset, boots. I bit my lip seeing woman with a chaperone with their male suitors and I looked at the box in front of me to my jeans quickly changing.

I gulped hard with my heart pounding in my chest. I slipped the hat on my head and put everything else in my messenger bag. I saw my money had changed to the one of the time period. I even saw a book on indian medicine which I have studied regularly since it worked so well for the Indians and was more natural.

"ok…Aria..you need to sneak out and see what year it is..the only thing that makes sense is my 16 year old self was sucked into the past for me to do something…I just don't know what" I whispered softly looking around nervously. I heard a lock clicking and slowly crawled around to a door that led to the basement. I snuck downstairs carefully shutting the door as the lock clicked in the front.

I believed in many things. One of those things is fate. Sad thing is I don't know what im doing or how Iam going to survive here. I have also become used to creature comforts of the 21st century.

I saw tons of boxes, crates, and even a small freezer down here with bottles of alcohol. I bit my lip debating in my head as voices could be heard upstairs. "I don't want to do this..but I have to" I mumbled as I snatched one of everything. I went over to a window that was small, but big enough (barely) for me to fit through. I heard footsteps nearing the basement door and heard scurrying that made me jump seeing a humongous rat. I had to keep myself from screaming since I hate rats with a passion.

I went over to some crates carefully maneuvering myself up them, they were wobbling a bit makin my heart pound as I clutched the bottom of the window moving myself up. I peaked through seeing nobody watching and slid through. I had to suck it in even though I wasn't even that heavy to make it through the hole.

I sighed heavily as I continued to crawl getting dirty in the process. I sat up and looked around seeing no one walking past me. I stood up slowly and looked back forth getting smirks from dirty faced kids as they stod up catching rats.

"hey boys, lookie who we 'ave heah" A boy said licking his lips walking towards me.

The only thought I had was 'oh shit'
