Thank you to everyone who reviewed the last chapter; it really meant a lot to me.

"Years go by, but nothing changes"

The Council of Clermont- Pope Urban II's call to invade the holy land- November 1095:

"Although, O sons of God, you have promised more firmly than ever to keep the peace among yourselves and to preserve the rights of the church, there remains still an important work for you to do. Freshly quickened by the divine correction, you must apply the strength of your righteousness to another matter which concerns you as well as God. For your brethren who live in the east are in urgent need of your help, and you must hasten to give them the aid which has often been promised them.

For, as the most of you have heard, the Turks and Arabs have attacked them and have conquered the territory of Romania the Greek empire as far west as the shore of the Mediterranean and the Hellespont, which is called the Arm of St. George. They have occupied more and more of the lands of those Christians, and have overcome them in seven battles. They have killed and captured many, and have destroyed the churches and devastated the empire.

If you permit them to continue thus for awhile with impurity, the faithful of God will be much more widely attacked by them. On this account I, or rather the Lord, beseech you as Christ's heralds to publish this everywhere and to persuade all people of whatever rank, foot-soldiers and knights, poor and rich, to carry aid promptly to those Christians and to destroy that vile race from the lands of our friends. I say this to those who are present, it meant also for those who are absent. Moreover, Christ commands it"

The Cross Hall, The White House- President Bush's call to invade the holy land- March 2003:

"My fellow citizens, events in Iraq have now reached the final days of decision. For more than a decade, the United States and other nations have pursued patient and honorable efforts to disarm the Iraqi regime without war. That regime pledged to reveal and destroy all its weapons of mass destruction as a condition for ending the Persian Gulf War in 1991.

……………………

Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised. This regime has already used weapons of mass destruction against Iraq's neighbors and against Iraq's people.

…………………

The danger is clear: using chemical, biological or, one day, nuclear weapons, obtained with the help of Iraq, the terrorists could fulfill their stated ambitions and kill thousands or hundreds of thousands of innocent people in our country, or any other.

The United States and other nations did nothing to deserve or invite this threat. But we will do everything to defeat it. Instead of drifting along toward tragedy, we will set a course toward safety. Before the day of horror can come, before it is too late to act, this danger will be removed.

The United States of America has the sovereign authority to use force in assuring its own national security. That duty falls to me, as Commander-in-Chief, by the oath I have sworn, by the oath I will keep.

Recognizing the threat to our country, the United States Congress voted overwhelmingly last year to support the use of force against Iraq"


"Am I the only one who notices these things?"

"Boy! Shut the hell up! Nobody cares!"

"Apparently"

Woodcrest- The Hilltop- June 2008:

"All I'm saying, Jazmine," began Huey, "Is that this world is in need of some serious change and if I'm going to bring about that change, I'll need some help. Can't you think of anybody?"

"I'm really sorry, Huey" Jazmine said guiltily, "But no one seems as concerned about these problems as you"

"Why?" That's the question Huey appeared to be asking himself more and more often as the years went by. Why didn't anyone care? Huey knew that if nothing was done, the problems were just going to get worse. Why didn't anybody else?

"Whatever" said Huey eventually, "Anyway, it's getting dark. We'd better head home"

By the time Huey had walked Jazmine to her house, it was well past the orange skies of sunset and moving closer into the deep darkness of nightfall.

"Don't worry Huey!" Jazmine had been consoling Huey the whole walk back to Timid Deer Lane, but to no avail.

"But if I don't worry about this world, who will?"

"I will!"

"Wow! Two people on Earth actually give a shit about it! Impressive!"

"I'm sure some other people care" stated Jazmine.

"Yeah, but not enough!"

They reached Jazmine's front door.

"Well, see ya Jazmine" said Huey in a slightly depressed tone of voice.

"Bye Huey!"

As Huey stepped off her front porch and began to walk home, Jazmine saw how sad Huey was and called out to him:

"Oh Huey!"

Huey stopped walking, but didn't turn around.

"I know you think that there isn't anyone anywhere like you, but there must be, no, there has to be, somewhere out there"

"Yeah" smirked Huey sarcastically, "Somewhere out there"

Huey continued his walk across the street leaving Jazmine standing on her porch, staring sadly. After a few seconds she reluctantly turned around and walked inside her house leaving Huey alone to his sentiments.

In fact, Huey was so deep into his thoughts that he failed to notice the rather large object on the ground a few feet away from him. That is until:

Thud!

Huey found himself flat on his face on top of the less than comfortable concrete street.

"What the hell?" Huey said to himself, getting up. It was then that he noticed the object of his inconvenience.

A book. A thick, black book. At the time, Huey didn't think much about it. I mean, why would he? It was just a book after all, an ordinary book. He would soon find out that this wasn't completely accurate.

Even with his new found anger of being tripped by an inanimate object, Huey couldn't resist his natural urge to pick up a book.

"Vicis alieno nullus" he thought to himself, "I'm not familiar with this title"

This was an oddity for Huey. He had either read or at least heard of most books this big.

When Huey finally decided to open the book, however, an even larger oddity occurred. As soon has flipped to a page in the book, all the streetlights and houselights around him suddenly went dark and the words on the page he had turned to began to shine bright silver. They were so bright, in fact, that he could read them clearly even with all the light around him gone. Another thing Huey noticed was that the book seemed to become even bigger and fill with more pages when he opened it.

"Neat trick," thought Huey, slightly surprised, "But it's just a bunch of dates"

Indeed it was just a bunch dates. It seemed that there was a year at the top of each page (Huey happened to be turned to the year 1838 AD) and under that the list of months, January through December.

Huey took a look at some of the other pages and sure enough, they were virtually identical.

"This is it? This isn't much of a book at all"

Eventually he found himself back at the 1838page, but as he was turning back to that page he accidentally brushed his hand against the shining word, July. As if by magic all the letters and numbers on the page disappeared and were soon replaced by different letters and different numbers. The top of the page now read July 1838 AD and below that the words were now July 1st, July 2nd, July 3rd, etc.

"Okay, now I'm getting interested"

Beginning to understand the books mechanics now, Huey decided to delve even deeper into this mystery book. He touched the word that said July 13th and once again all the words vanished off the page to be replaced by a separate selection. This time the top of the page said July 13th, 1838 AD and the words below it read 12:00 AM, 1:00 AM, 2:00 AM, etc. This time Huey pushed the 4:00 PM word and I'm sure you know by now what happened. The new silver words at the top said 4:00 PM, July 13th, 1838 AD and under that were the times 4:00 PM, 4:01 PM, 4:02 PM, etc.

While Huey was messing around with his new book, a large truck had been creeping down Timid Deer Lane right towards him, but he was too entranced in the book to notice. When it was about 400 meters away from him, it started to speed up and Huey still didn't notice because it's headlights were off and he was pretty much blocking out any and all sound around him.

When the it was just a few feet away from him, and when he had just pushed the 4:30 PM word making the page have the words 4:30 PM, July 13th, 1838 AD at the top and the words 4:30 PM and 1 second, 4:30 PM and 2 seconds, 4:30 PM and 3 seconds, etc. appear below it, the truck turned on it's headlights leaving Huey just enough time to turn his head and see it before he was killed. Or did it?

When Huey opened his eyes (which he had closed after he saw what was coming towards him), he was no longer on Timid Deer Lane facing his death. If he wasn't seeing it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe it. It was a field; he was standing on a field. It was a fairly flat, grassy field, save for one hill a little ways off.

"What the hell" Huey once again thought to himself.

Almost instinctively, Huey looked down at the page which now only had the words Welcome to 4:30 PM and 15 seconds, July 13th, 1838 AD! written across it, which eventually disappeared to be replaced by the original page with 1838 AD written across the top of it.

"No, this can't be right; it's impossible. I've got to have a look around"

However, as Huey began his journey to the aforementioned hill to get a better view of his surroundings, realization was slowly coming to him. When he reached the hill's peak his suspicions were confirmed.

Below him, a mile or so beyond the field, the Woodcrest town hall and various other buildings were in the process of being built.

Huey held the power of time in his hands.

"Holy shit"


In case you didn't understand, the dotted lines throughout Bush's speech meant that I was skipping to another part of it; I didn't use the complete speech's for either Bush or Urban II. The point I was trying to make by using both of them was that history tends to repeat itself, but not always in the greatest of ways. I hope it was clear, and I hope you come back for more!

p.s.- YoungNeil was right, the two mystery people from the first chapter are from the future.
