Souls Entwine

Part Ten

Kimberly looked back and forth and after a quick decision to put Mr. Mitchell before herself; she ran toward him.

"Kimberly! We have to go! We need you in the present! Billy can't keep this open much longer!" Tommy yelled. She shockingly looked at Tommy as she lifted Mr. Mitchell.

"I have to help him! His back is broken! He'll never make it if I don't," Kimberly yelled back.

"But if you don't get back, there'll be an enternal paradox to quote Billy," Tommy argued as he picked Kim up and headed towards the portal.

Just as they entered Kimberly heard Kathleen scream her name.

-Back at the Present-

-A week Later-

Kimberly slumped on her bed. She couldn't believe what had happened. Just as she had decided to save Kathleen's father; Tommy had to drag her through the portal, and what was worse. Kathleen had chosen that moment to show up. She had Billy search for her friend, but so far he had found nothing. She still had to keep her promise and deliver the letter to Lorna, if she was still alive. She took the letter out of her pocket.

"Lorna Hartford... Why is that name so familar..." Kimberly pondered out loud.

"Lorna Hartford is your great grandmother's maiden name... Remember... We met her at the last reunion," her mother said bringing in her clothes.

"Oh... It is... I found a letter for her in that Victorian Chest you bought..." Kimberly lied.

Her mother's eyes popped open as she took the letter and looked it over, but didn't read it.

"Well, I think she's gonna be in town tomorrow for a doctor's appointment. You could give it to her then. I'm sure she'd appreciate it," her mother told her. Kimberly breathed deeply and nodded. At least she'd keep her promise. Granted it was a hundred or so years late...

"Better late than never, I suppose," Kimberly quipped.
