Don't Trust Him
"Melanie, Melanie!" Matt screamed. He put his hands on his head as he ran over to the machine. He looked around bewilderedly. Suddenly, a cloud began to form up above him. He noticed it and immediately moved out from under it. Lightning began to strike and then a blinding light flashed. When we could see again; we noticed that Melanie was back. The problem was, she wasn't breathing.
"Melanie, wake up! Come on baby wake up!" Matt screamed as he picked her head up off the cold floor. I was the only one who seemed to be in touch with the situation at hand so I jumped into action. I gently pushed Matt back and laid Melanie back on the ground. I tilted her head backwards slightly and pinched her nose. I opened her mouth and put mine over hers. I blew air into her lungs, waited a second, and then gave another breath. I placed my right hand on top of my left and interlocked my fingers. I placed my hands on her chest and compressed it thirty times. Then I did this two more times.
She coughed.
"Melanie! Melanie! Oh thank God you came back to us!" I said as I embraced her in a hug. Matt came back over to her and helped her onto her feet.
"What happened?" I asked her as she sat down. Katie came up and gave her a bottle of water.
"There was a scientist. He said he was working on the time machine and that the power supply must have burnt out. When I told him what had happened he realized his mistake. He crossed the age converter and the year transfer and instead of sending him back to 1990 anyone who was born before 1990 disappeared.
"He said that we need to find a sustainable energy source to bring them all back. They have to come all at once, they can't bring them back one at a time. I'll be able to go back and forth between the realms to relay messages," Melanie said.
"I don't think it would be a good idea for you to keep going back there if you're going to keep passing out," I said.
"No, no it's okay. That was a fluke it won't happen like that again," Melanie explained.
"Oh, okay. Well then, is everybody there okay? What is it like?" I asked.
"It's white. Everything is white. The remarkable thing is that anything they need for survival; they just have to think of it and it will appear," Melanie said.
"That's astonishing," Matt butted in. Melanie grabbed my hair and pulled my head down so that she could whisper in my ear.
"The scientist dude said not to trust Tom," she whispered. She let my head go and I turned to the others who were still standing up by the door. I winked at Stephanie.
Stephanie turned and looked at Tom. Then without warning Stephanie swung with her right hand. It connected with Tom's lower jaw. He fell to the ground for she had knocked him out.
