Chapter 2 "Packing"
Authors note: When I first put this story I did not realize that there was another story in the both sides of time series because the copy I had was older. I just recently read the last one For All Time, I decided to continue my story but as going on that the book For All time never happened. So enjoy and please enjoy.
Strat was going to go get to Annie and find her. He was going to have to get to as close to his old home as he could. He would have to get there at night. Then he had to get to Annie's time. What could happen if he was recognized? What if the portal wouldn't open? What if Annie was married or something? She couldn't be couldn't be could she? There were so many questions to ask he was going to have to take a risk a big risk.
He was going to have to choose wisely in choosing what to bring. He was going to have to get clothes that would be acceptable for her time. Then money would his money be acceptable in her time? Probably not he was going to have to improvise. He was going to her it was time.
Katie knew something was up. He was going to have to tell her eventually. He was going to leave her. She was happy there he couldn't move her from a place she finally got accepted in. Even Douglass was happy and was making progress.
"Katie I can't stay here I need to find someone. I might be back but if I don't come back, don't look for me."
"Strat, you're going to be looking for the girl Annie right, I hope you find he. I will explain to Douglass for you, alright."
"Thank you Katie you are so generous and kind."
Strat had to pack because he was leaving first thing in the morning. He knew it was going to have to take a few days to get to her. His best bet was to try to travel through time as close to his old home as close has he could. He couldn't risk getting to close to Stratton mansion because he could risk getting sent to the insane asylum again. He couldn't bear going back their again, he didn't belong their, and they probably weren't to happy about his escape.
What to pack Strat thought. He would have to bring food in case it took awhile to find Annie. He couldn't risk starving in a place, in a place where he had no clue what the money looked like. He thought about bringing something valuable so maybe he could sell it in her time. He would have to bring clothes that could be acceptable in her time. He would have to bring a coat because he had no clue what the temperature was like over at his old home was like. Strat had a long day ahead of him so he better get too bed.
Morning was almost a blur to him. He did some last minute packing of food, water, and money. But he couldn't pack too much because he had to travel. It was so hard to decide what to bring.
The hardest part was saying Goodbye to Katie and Douglass. Katie wished him good luck. Even Douglass said good-bye, which was great.
"Bye Katie, Bye Douglass good luck without me."
He traveled farther and farther away from him them soon he could not see them any more. He walked into his unknown journey.
