Chapter 2: Back In Time

Belle's POV

"So how exactly does this work?" Jacob Jr. asked me. "I mean, how to you pick and chose a time and place to travel to?" he asked me.

"Oh that's easy, come here and I will show you"

Both of my brothers quickly came over to investigate what I was about to show them. I picked up the key pad that I had connected to the car and showed it to them.

"All you do is input your destination on this key pad. For example I'll put in Forks, Washington March 22nd 2006 at 2am. That is exactly 25 years ago"

"Why that date?" Carl asked me.

"I don't know actually. For some reason it was just the first date that popped into my mind. I don't know why though"

"So Belle how did you get the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity to run this thing?" Jacob Jr. asked.

"Easy. This baby runs completely on solar power. It's simple and it will work in whatever time period you're visiting. It's especially useful when you're visiting a time period before electricity was invented"

"Well what are we waiting for? Let's test this thing out" my younger brother said excitedly.

"Wait a second are you sure that this is a good idea?" Jacob Jr. asked. "What if it doesn't work? What if we all die or something?"

"It's fine. I already tested it out earlier. It works perfectly. The trip will be instaneous. We will be there before we know it" I explained. Did my brother really think I was stupid enough to not test my own invention to make sure that it works?!

Carl eagerly got in the backseat meanwhile my older brother hesitated.

"What is wrong with you?"

"I'm a little nervous about this that's all" he admitted.

"Oh come on! Your little brother, who is only 8 years old I might add, is excited and you, the 17 year old, the oldest out of all of us, is scared?!"

"Okay, okay fine!" he snapped. "I'll do it"

"The passenger side not the driver's seat!" I shouted when I noticed where he was going.

"You don't even have a driver's license yet. You're only 15" he reminded me.

"A. I have a learner's permit and I'm an excellent driver. B. I'm a genius and C. It is my time machine that only I know how to operate"

"Okay okay fine! Jesus Christ. No need to be so annoying now"

"I'm your little sister. Being annoying is kind of in the job description" I said with a smile on my face.

He just rolled his eyes. He and I have a kind of love-hate relationship thing going on.

I got in the driver's seat excitedly. I swore my heart was going to jump out of my chest.

I started the car. I was literally a mixture of nerves and excitement. I drove to a road where I knew there wouldn't be any traffic at all. Not at this time anyway. I knew that I could safely get up to the required 88 miles per hour. I stepped on the gas as hard as I could and the car roared to life.

We sped down the road and just as the car hit 88 miles per hour all you saw and heard was a flash of light and three sonic booms.

I screamed and hit the brakes when I saw what was in front of me. A large reddish-brown wolf that I instantly recognized as my father.

I tried to avoid hitting him but it was too late. I smashed right into him. Being a shapeshifter I knew that he would be okay...eventually. Unfortunately the same could not be said for my DeLorean. I knew it was heavily damaged.

I quickly looked back and saw several other stunned wolves. I knew who they were but of course they didn't know who I was.

By some miracle I was able to get the car moving quickly again. The wolves gave chase. With their super speed they were able to keep up with me easily.

One of the wolves, I think it was Sam Uley, caused me to hit a tree. The crash caused the car to spin. Once it stopped spinning I went in another direction only to see that it was a dead end that led straight to a cliff!

Somehow I managed to stop the car just before it went over. I looked and listened. The wolves had disappeared for some reason.

I took a few deep breaths before looking over at my two brothers. Jacob Jr. had somehow managed to grab Carl and shield him from harm.

"Are you two okay?" I asked them.

For the most part I think we're okay but I think we should take Carl to the hospital. He got pretty banged up. Are you okay Belle?"

"I'm fine but I need to check something really fast"'

I got out of the car only to have my fears confirmed. The flux capacitor and the solar panels running it were all damaged.

"Belle what is it?" Jacob Jr. asked me.

"It's damaged"

"What does that mean?"

"We're stuck here"
