Chapter 12

As Max had waited two hours for a question from the 4th wall that are not coming at the moment, she sat down on a sofa in the VIP section and wondered what to do in this party. She considered getting a drink but then wondered why she would keep doing that? Maybe because she is not the main character in season 2… or maybe perhaps it is an attempt to run away and forget something that means too much to her. Max sat up from the sofa depressed and started to leave the VIP section.

"Hey, Max" Dana stops Max from behind. "Where are you going?" She asked.

"I had...enough fun for...tonight." Max said with a depressed voice.

"Are you ok-"

"Positive," Max answered before Dana finishes.

Dana can see through those words easy and can tell something is not okay. She wondered what Kate would do in this situation and figured something out. "Okay then, I just walk with you then." Dana simply said. "You never know what happens in the dead of night."

Max knows that Wells has up security around Blackwell Academy after Jefferson and Prescott and that there are more guards than before. Especially, during these parties. But Max decided to humor Dana. "Alright...you can come with me."

Dana and Max had left the party and walked across the campus to dorms, but then Max's phone began to ring. Max looks at it and she sees someone calling her from a payphone. Max answers it. "Hello?"

"..." The caller remains silent. "The storm from the other timeline is not a national disaster." They said with some kind of voice changer and Max was shocked by those words. "It was an artificial, created by machine."

"Who is this?" Max asked as Dana looked at her confused. Lucky, it is not on speaker phone

"You are to go back to May 5th 2010, Wednesday and on that next Friday, you are to go East of Overlook Park. There is what would look like an abandoned wood cabin. You can find all that you need to know over there" The caller said.

"You didn't answer my question." Max said.

"AND THAT'S NONE OF YOUR CONCERN, YOUNG LADY!" They shouted so loudly that Dana could hear that. "*ahem* I mean... just go back to May 5th 2010, go East of Overlook park, and find that abandoned cabin." They said and hung up.

Max looked at the phone in disbelief on what she just heard.

"What was that about?" Dana asked.

"I ask myself the same thing." Max answered. "But probably just a prank call." Max lied and pretended to shrug it off until they got to Max's dorm.

"Well, it looks like you're okay, but are you sure nothing is wrong?" Dana asked before as Max opened the door.

"I'm sure," Max answered.

Dana was silent. "It is always alright to come out to your friends when something is wrong. I hope you know that." She said with a slight smile before she walked to her room.

Max closed the door in her room. "The storm...artificial?" She asked herself. "Even if that's true then why did it not come in this timeline? And even though I wanted to go back in time, how did...THEY...expect me to do so?" Max continued to ask herself before seeing a package on her bed. She picked it up and found a note.

'Some photos that were taken in May 2010 are in this package. Your power may have evolved in this point of time allowing you to stay as long as you want and travel around as you please. But be warned, trying to prevent such events such as WW1, WW2, and etc wound only result in a worse outcome. Just stop the storm.'

Max put the note down. "People of the 4th wall, I have a feeling on what you're going to say about it, but I would like to hear you say it."
