Chapter 2

She awoke to the sound of rain, and the cold feeling of the droplets on her bare skin. She opened her eyes and looked around taken back at what she saw. The green lush park and the high rises in the distance that she was sure were there before, were gone. Maybe I fell asleep on a different bench? she thought. Instead she was looking at a muddy field and rows or small brick houses. Why is it raining in the middle of summer? Anastazia stood up and looked around. Behind her there was a few rows of brick houses, with white picket fences lining the front of them. What in the world...

Suddenly Anastazia felt a hand on her shoulder. She jumped slightly, and turned around to see who it was. She was met by a crooked grin and blonde very blonde hair. He must have been not much older than herself and he had sparkling blue eyes that had a look of mischievousness in them. "Funny day to be out and about isn't it?" The boy spoke motioning at the grey, wet surroundings. "Umm well I was just going for a walk..?" Anastazia replied nervously. "Dressed like that?" The boy laughed looking the girl up and down. Anastazia was about to protest but looked down and realized that she must have looked ridiculous in a t-shirt and short skirt in the current weather. The boy realizing that she suddenly looked uncomfortable, gave her a sympathetic smile. "So do you live around here?" he asked. "Er, no...", she replied noticing the boy was dressed in a jumper, grey shorts, knee high socks and brown lace ups. What old fashioned clothes, Anastazia thought. "You wouldn't happen to know the date, would you?" she asked suddenly, a small amount of panic inside her. The boy gazed at her taking in her long wavy blonde hair and aqua colored eyes. "Well I believe it is the 29th of November, 1943, but I suspect you know that" He laughed.

Anastazia was overcome by the sudden feeling of dizziness. This can't be happening. It was all too freaky. They were both walking along the path now, with the rain still soaking them. Anastazia glanced at the boy, and noticed he was looking at her breasts. For you see most girls Anastazia's age at the time were quite skinny and had very little signs of boobs. So the boy was secretly amazed that this girl was sporting B cups. Anastazia blushed. "Um, I don't know your name?" She said looking at his face which had very good looking yet boyish features. "I'm Rudy", he replied grinning a lopsided smile. "I'm Anastazia", she said smiling back.
