1997...

Helen listened to Ethan as he told her that he had failed with the task of killing Connor Temple. Connor had been saved from being trampled by a gorilla! She grunted in anger when Ethan told him it was his brother who saved him.

She was getting more, and more, unhappy with Ethan. This was not the first time he had failed with a task. She wondered if there was anything he was Actuallygood at. His ideas however were different. He had come up with several ways of destroying mankind. One of them being going back to where the first humans had been found. He had not known what this site had been called but with a little bit of investigation, they found that it was dubbed site 333. He had said that if he went to this site and put poison in the water, they could stop humankind in its tracks.

Although Ethan's ideas were good Helen could not wait to be rid of him. So she sent him off again to set fire to Connor's school. Whilst he was gone she packed a small rucksack. She was going back to Derek, she was going to collect her daughter, and then she was going to disappear. She decided that she was going to go to the future and disguise herself; she was going to call herself Eve. This was one sure way of getting into the ARC. She just had to ensure that Ethan's brother Danny saw her.

Helen knew that making her daughter trust her was not going to be easy. So she made sure that she paid a visit to April as she was growing up. With the Anomaly opening device in her hand it was simple enough. She would go to visit April, open another anomaly and visit her again, making sure that at least six months had past between each visit. She told her daughter that she was working on an archaeological dig in the middle of the African jungle, where there was very little form of communication, thus satisfying her daughter curiosity over why she went away so much and why she could not be contacted.

But there was something else that Helen wanted to do. She had known that her time on Earth was limited; she had seen herself die in the Pliocene. In fact she was the one to close the anomaly trapping Danny in that particular time period. She had then opened up her another anomaly and disappeared, leaving Danny quite alone. She knew that before she died she must inform Philip Burton and ensure that he did his utmost to destroy the world.
Donning her smartest coat and dress, she climbed aboard a train going from London to Manchester. She glanced across to the clean shaven young man who sat opposite. She was pleased when he smiled back.
"Hello, I'm Helen,"

"Philip, Phillip Burton."

The train journey was very long and Helen and Philip, chatted away. Helen told him about things that could make the future better, such as the 'Room Temperature Super Conductor'. She gave him the basic ideas. At first Philip didn't believe her. So when they reached the end of their journey, Philip agreed to go with her. She took him to an abandoned warehouse, where she opened an anomaly. She took Philip to the future.

Here she showed Philip the very worst of humanity; she convinced him that without his inventions the Earth would become the horrid place he saw in front of him. She gave him instructions on what he must do to save the world.

When Philip was returned to the present day, he was convinced that the future would be ruined without him. He believed that by building his inventions he would be saving the world.

Helen then travelled to the late nineteen nineties to be with her daughter. April had now turned nineteen. She taught her everything she knew about the anomalies. She also gave her a letter addressed to Philip Burton detailing that April was her daughter and had been sent to assist him in his endeavours.

April had grown into a smart young woman, and she also had Helen's cunning mind. She adored her mother from the moment she returned, and she wanted to please her so much that she followed her mother's every word. But April also had her father's logical mind, and she would question her mother endlessly. Helen smiled, she loved her daughter, now that she was old enough and wise enough to come up with some good ideas.

Before she went on her travels Helen needed some basic medical supplies, and a decent hunting knife. She was driving through the High street looking for a place to park. Suddenly she heard alarm bells ringing from the bank opposite. She sat with her mouth open, as she watched a young man come racing out of the building, recognising the man she opened her car door.

"Jump in!" The young man glared for a moment and then saw that his only option was to get in.

Helen put her foot on the accelerator and sped away.

Once they were far enough, Helen spared a glance to the young person along for the ride. She smiled.

Her passenger began to relax.

"Why did you just do that?" he queried.

"Because I feel that I know you... What's your name?"

"Mike, Mike Malonino."

"Nice to meet you Mike. You know, you look very much like someone I know. Ever heard of Connor Temple?" She smiled her mind ticking away with a nasty plan. She asked the man to reach into her handbag to pull out her mobile phone. On it she had stored hundreds of pictures. Glancing into her wing mirror, she was satisfied that they had lost the police chasing them. She pulled into an inconspicuous street and found a place to park her car.

She scrolled through the pictures on her phone, and found one she had been looking for. One of Connor, as he walked through the street. She had taken the photo without him knowing and planned to keep it to show Philip.

"There... This is Connor Temple!" She showed the picture to Mike.

The young man considered his face in the wing mirror. Was it true? Someone else had a face like his?

Ok Mike's hair was slightly different, and he had an inch long scar on the left side of his chin, his nose was slightly bigger, but it was him!

I love you guys, I love you even more when I read your AWESOME reviews.

BTW ... Good Luck in your Exams Lovingthis!
