Chapter 2: Peter's Discovery
Twenty five minutes later, Peter was driving towards the castle after getting the wires that he needed.
"It's alright. I'll fix those time circuits. I couldn't have traveled anyway with them defaulting to the last setting like that. It's a good thing that I caught it, or else I might have gotten stuck somewhere and really screwed things up." Peter thought.
Peter sighed wistfully as he turned into the castle's driveway. He got out of the car and then shut the doors.
"This will be a quick fix, I'm sure." Peter thought.
Peter locked the car and headed towards the garage. However, his heart froze when he saw an empty garage, where the DeLorean was supposed to be. A high pitched noise of alarm escaped his throat and he whipped around. The noise turned into a full on yell and he gripped his scalp. Someone had the DeLorean! They had a time machine, and if they used it for bad purposes, then who knew what could happen! He ran into the garage to see a note, scrawled in Angelica's handwriting, on his work table. He grabbed it and read it, his eyes wide.
"For the love of God!" Peter yelled.
Peter ran back outside and looked around.
"The time circuits." Peter muttered under his breath.
He hadn't had a chance to repair them after they kept on messing up for some reason. That meant that Angelica wasn't heading to 2009, but 18 years earlier. Angelica was going to be stuck somewhere in the year 1991. How could the girl have done something so stupid?
Peter lifted his arm up in the air and checked his watch. 4:04 PM. The mail would have already been delivered by now. Peter ran out to the mailbox and opened it up. A package was there, bound in old butcher paper with string... with his address and name printed clearly on it in Angelica's handwriting.
"Oh gosh." Peter whispered.
Peter's hands were shaking as he took it out. Angelica was in the past alone.
