iTurn Back in Time
Chapter 10 : iSee World War III
"Listen, I have to tell you something."
My lips were trembling. "Sam, promise me you'll believe anything I say."
She looked at me straight in the eyes. It probably meant yes.
"Sam," I closed my eyes for a second and organized the words in my head. I was gathering courage. "Sam you're-"
"SAM, FREDDIE!"
It was Spencer. He was running to us and paused to breathe some air when he spotted me and Sam together. Darn, why now!
"Sam..Freddie..." He was gasping for air. In exhaustion, he sat on the floor, placing one hand on the wall. "Carly she's... Oh god, I need your help!"
Sam dropped my hand and drew her attention to the twenty six-year old artist. "What happened to Carly!"
"She..she's..." Spencer pointed at the door and without hesitation, Sam ran to where her best friend was, banging the door open and leaving me. Spencer followed her slowly and closed the door behind him.
I stared at the spot where Sam stood a couple of minutes ago. In a blink of an eye, my chance was gone.
Silence surrounded the fire escape, the only sound I can hear was the honking of the cars below. My fingers brushed my brown hair and messed it up. "Aargh!"
Then I felt someone move behind me.
"Whos' there?" I asked, looking at the corner of my eye.
"Freddie, what the hell were you thinking!" Someone hissed on my ear.
"Travis?"
It was him. His arms were crossed. He looked very...mad.
"Do you know what happens if you tell her?"
I shook my head. "No."
"Then why were you telling her!"
Wait a second did he just..? He was practically yelling at me! "DON'T YOU EVER YELL AT ME! YOU DON''T KNOW WHAT I FEEL! SAM'S IN DANGER YOU KNOW THAT? I DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO ME! I JUST WANT TO SAVE HER! I WANT HER TO LIVE!" My hands were clenched to fists. I wanted to punch him right in his face. I was so pissed off.
"I do because I was once human like you."
I stared at him. That was unexpected. "What?" I hissed.
He nodded. "I am just like you."
We fell silent. I bit my lip. A thousand questions began forming in my head. "Travis, just what the hell are you?"
"It's none of your business anymore. What's important here is your situation, not mine. Do you know what could happen if you successfully told her?"
I didn't respond. A half of me didn't want to know and the other half just wanted him to spill it out.
"The people around you will start to disappear. Slowly, the world erases their existences because you're ruining the time. Like for example, when you were just to tell Sam everything, someone from your loved ones will start to vanish. It's because you're messing around with the natural order and Sam's time of death will draw nearer. You're rushing it by telling her what will happen. And you don't want that, don't you?"
I looked away and tried to calm down. I sat on the floor and looked up to him. "Why does it always have to be them? I was the one who traveled back in time and obviously, the one at fault. Why does it have to be the people around me?"
He knelt so we can see eye to eye. "Every action has its own consequences. You rewinded time so when you go back to the present, prepare for the price you're going to pay. I know I should have told you about this earlier but you're still confused. Are you ready to accept what lies for you in the future?"
So I really do have to pay for something. I realized that what I was doing was entirely useless. I can't save Sam and what hurts the most is that I have to accept the bitter fact. "Yes, I have to."
"Very well then." He put his hands on his pockets. "The only thing you can do that won't make any difference is telling her that you love her." He smiled. "At least yo can do that."
I looked at my feet. "Wouldn't that change anything? I mean, I am still doing something I-"
I looked around. He was gone-again and every time I wanted going to say something, Travis just disappears. Annoying.
Oh god, I'm starting to hate this.

Hey Carly, what happened last night? Sorry, my mom wouldn't let me go outside anymore and when I texted Spencer, he told me you're ok.
I waited for a few minutes. My cell rang and when I checked it out, it was Carly. Yay!

From: Carly
No it's okay. I was fast asleep. LOLJk. Actually I passed out. Maybe because I was really tired last night..IDK. But don't worry, Sam already took care of me but in return, she said I have to treat her in GS. :) Strawberry splat. :")
When I read her reply, I felt guilty. It was my fault. I'm stuck! I can't tell Sam. Carly's life was in danger. So I composed a reply, shaking the thought away.

Groovie Smoothie! Let's meet in the afternoon. I'll be bringing my laptop so we can read updates from the iCarly website. I'm sure thousands of your fans have already sent their votes in the new poll I've made in the server. GTG, Mrs. Briggs is coming to my desk. I shouldn't be texting right now. :D
So I met up with them in the Groovie Smoothie, I waved at T-Bo, and sat on the empty chair next to Sam. Carly's bag was on the other seat so I have to sit beside her which was totally .. making me happy. I wanted to bring up what happened last night but we swore not to talk about it. Whatever. Soon, Carly's going to find about it anyway.
"Here's your smoothie." Carly passed it to me. I was looking at Sam while sipping my smoothie. My eyes widened.
"IT'S HOT!" I stood up and went straight to the bathroom. I heard them laughing.
"I'm gonna get you someday!" I muttered under my breath. While I was on my way, I accidentally bumped on a girl in a pink top and skirt. "Sorry I didn't mean to-"
I froze. Same blond hair, same blue eyes, same figure, same face.
"Melanie?"
She smiled at me, her eyes sparkling. "Have I met you before? How did you know my name?" She asked in a flirty way.
I looked back to Sam.
"Oh, my twin!" She immediately went to Sam and Carly's table and greeted Sam. "Sis!"
Sam's facial expression changed. Her eyes turned into stones. "Melanie?"
Melanie smiled. "Sam!" She hugged Sam tightly and Sam rolled her eyes.
"What are you doing here?" The blond demon asked her replica.
Melanie brushed her hair with her long black nails. "I'm staying with you from now on."
"WHAT! NO!" Sam stood up. "You're in no way going to stay here! GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM!"
"Have a seat..Melanie." Carly offered.
"Not thanks. I'm not sitting with losers. See yah at school!" She opened the door and the wind chime played with the wind, letting out a gentle sound of bells. Melanie gave Sam an evil, wicked look and walked away in her high heels.
Sam glared at her sister. I didn't know they hated each other this much.
"Did she just called us losers? Oh my god!" Carly stood up from her seat, her nostrils flaring.
"Fredamame, I need to punch something!" Sam yelled at me.
"W-wait!" I grabbed my bag from my seat and held it up high. I never imagined World War III happening again-not when I am still alive!
And I still have the hot smoothie in my mouth. Do you wonder how I can manage to speak clearly?
Weird right? But this is Benson in front of you.

Hey yo Seddie Warriors! I was really inspired to make Chapter 10 today because of you. :) Your reviews really made my day so I am posting this. Yay! Melanie's here! I can't wait to write the action the Sam VS. Melanie fight will bring you in the next chapters. And Kristoff will be appearing soon. Probably in the next one. And I forgot to put this up in the previous chapter...it's the link to my tumblr account of iTurn Back in Time. I edited the previous chapters (grammar usage) and there's a little preface there ( it's not a prologue...it's actually what happened when Sam was being hit by the taco truck) named "January 18th" (day of Sam's death). Here it is, I hope you visit it : .com/ Just scroll down so you can see the very first entry.
So what do you think? Reviews please. :)
Bye! :D
