I don't own Timecrest rice belongs to Sneaky Crab.

We return to this awesome story the change in timelines and to the ambush that's what's gonna happen next. I hope you enjoy this.

The next day, Scarlet tries and go and see Lou there about the watch, but she gets cornered by Callum's found him. He corners her in as a guard inside the quarantine zone just for a bit all right then let's get started into this part of the story and this new chapter.

The next day after my meeting with Pora was hoping to put on some armor to go meet with Luther himself about this watch if I can figure out how to get to his own house or return the watch to him at least when I just go up and say hey this is your pocket watch sir why am I calling him that I close the watch for a few seconds I was nervous so nervous into a meeting with him hadn't seen the trials. I wonder how he's doing though is he doing well is he feeling OK?

and what does Pora mean by this watch will bring me nothing but this not happiness that'll give me unsatisfactory? I don't quite understand what she means by that.

I don't understand what she meant by that but it's too late not to get involved as soon as I open the Watch I was involved. There's no way I can be disengaged now.

I have died and the watches brought me back from the dead. I'll have to figure this out on my own or find Luther and have him help me. That's it. I'll have to go to him if he ain't coming to me. What am I gonna do now?

Tell me what I should do watch I said, as I touched the face of the watch face with my fingers I should not go see him you should go see him. My counterpart said the voice in my head voice if that's what you think I should do I will go then.

What else are we gonna do? I kept my brother out of the house and told him to go far away. I don't wonder what he's doing or what he's up to. I don't care.

I was headed to the door within the door opened quickly. I didn't recognize the person feet of the person that was standing there. But I could tell he was a Voran guard I told him to get out of my shop. I didn't have his arm ready. I didn't come for that. The man said looking at me to see you, Miss Scarlet, what for I know you're in that armor, Scarlet why are you wearing it? It could be someone's armor, do I need to report you for it?

do I need to report you for fifth he said, repeating didn't know if I could hear him or not. I shook my head no as the rattling of the helmet rattled in my head. I asked him what are you doing here? Why don't you take off that armor first he said I don't want to report you, Miss Scarlet. You do such a great job cleaning people's armor, I don't want to report you king, and get yourself fired and lose your housing and take off the armor. Luckily, I had clothes underneath me. My hair fell to my waist like always creep. He touched my hair worse than a soul would ever do but I flinched for a moment who are you? I asked when he didn't answer I asked again who are you?

Who am I that is Rich You know who I am You never come for your armor and you don't work in this quarantine zone I said again to the man standing in front of me sensing his feet you are not one of the guards I recognize you do not even armor no I'm not and no yes I do not work in this quarantine zone tell me are you know who I am he said again.

I shook my head again no, I don't recognize you no I don't so why can't you just tell me who you are?

so how many questions pretty lady he says Miss Scarlet, his fingers into my hair as I step back don't touch me I said don't you dare touch me I don't even know who you are. You're a stranger inside my armor cleaning room I said, staring him down. I don't trust you.

I can give you a better job than this Miss Scarlet you could work with me as a guard. It's a better job than cleaning armor all day long. I don't mind. I said I like cleaning and it's relaxing like I told my brother once so can't you just leave me alone, your brother wants to see you. He asked not because I wanted to know where he was but because I wanted to take care of him. I just wanted to know where he was when he ran off to us. He came to us asking for a job as a guard since he couldn't become part of the trials and he did be in the trials.

but we're giving him another chance to be in the trials to do it to be in the major army again I don't care I said you should he said I'm here to spare you. What do you mean by that wants to put you back in but not as an actual contender, he wants to put you in as a stand. What do you mean by that meaning he wants to put you in there so that you could die Scarlett you him you ruined your life the king is giving him and the high is giving him this challenge is not a full challenge of the trials, but if he could kill you, then he will win and become part of the major army to finish out what he didn't get to finish in the trials last time do you want me to go on those trials and die of course Scarlet I have other things to do besides go and be in a trial and dieI see you have the pocket watch the Timecrest now maybe the king should have this more valuable information that nonhuman a natural is now a time how do you know about these things overhear my father and the king talk about you step back realizing who he was now your commander Valen, the ween commander he knotted.

The guy who does these is Baldev broadcasts the the same he says you give me creepy vibes. I don't like being around you I said do you have a choice? What were you doing with the armor I won't report you about it I was going to go see someone I said, but I'm not telling you who, you will tell and you will talk. If you should know if you should know I was going to go see Luther Timecrest why I was gonna return the watch to him?

but if you're the how do you know who I am I said slowly why don't you just leave not without you? He says come you have committed a crime. You are a traitor Scarlet one by taking armor. I should have you fired but no, I want you to continue working here, but you're gonna go and be in prison for a bit or I'll let you become. I want you to come see my father, and the king too.

what's the crime besides things I think I've done as I clutch the watch close to my heart remember your previous mission. My counterpart said the voice in my head said thank you. I said back to the watch. Are you talking to the watch in front of me? That is a crime having the open watch in front of Orion he said come, Scarlet, you have been tainted.

what do you know I asked about the watch I mean, I'll tell you our way he said they were as we walked out he said the Watch links were due to the time manipulator Kronos. What does that mean? This means you're connected to the first human that watch links to him that's what Pat told me Pora never mind the human on the other side of the watch is your counterpart. You are a Timecrest but we don't know much about the counterpart. I could just be a figure of your imagination or a figure of the first human magic way of manipulating good people like yourself that's what he does intriguing, especially the king the commander said as he walked me to the front door the palace couldn't believe he kept this this whole time. It makes me feel better I said.

you're going to speak to my father and the king and you'll be longing to sell until it's time for the trials. It's not long. Also, your brother is going to be participating. Also, you will be his opponent. Will be confirming that you are a Timecrest if you die and come back to life, testing me the commander knotted his head I am everyone will be in attendance. Everyone Luther'll be there. He will be. I don't wanna die in front of him. Luckily he won't be in the trials this time, but I will be again.

and I am one of the challenges I was placed in a cell once I got there, but before I did that, I had to ask some quick answer questions even said again you can get out of this if you become my girlfriend why would I find then he said he slammed the door or he didn't slam the door, but he left me in the holding cell until Janice came in the high commander came for me.

but they didn't take the good watch. At least I was happy at least that I cradled it in my arms holding it in my arms are you there? I asked to watch. I am the voice that said I am here for you Scarlett. If you die, you will come back like you did with Mr. Marbello. I will not let you die, Scarlet, I smiled for a moment and said he'll protect me. They'll protect me I guess..

then I was brought out of the cell and right before the high commander in the king we will let you go if you answer truthfully, and you won't even have to go on the trials King Janice said how did you become a Timecrest asked I don't know don't lie to me. The king said you should know that makes you into one. I shook my head no but I knew the watch was mine. We will take it from you like you and sell it again and watch it come back to you to sell it. You're telling me the truth that you are a Timecrest my brother tells you yes but we don't believe him completely.

we will put you in this cell again and see if it comes back to you. Do you wanna play cat and mouse with me? I asked the king yes King Jenna said it's rare that a Timecrest like you has been born I wasn't born. I was made into one Luther made you into one to make more soldiers for himself now that's ridiculous. Why would he? Are you a decoy, no, I don't even understand what Timecrest is much my dear so ignorant you're so silly has a spell on you. Are you gonna act like my daughter Riley? Why would I act like Riley? I asked why would I act like Riley.

We will put you here, putting me back in the cell and taking the watch away. I was in the darkness of the cell my magic. The watch came back to my hand. They came back and watched the progress.

The watch came back to my hand, she is the Timecrest now it's hard to believe the high commander and King Janice said we need to test her some more we put her on this year's trial and have her brother kill her if she comes back from the dead we are proven right and we will not test her again and will let her go that was what my brother would want. He would want to kill me.

he would wanna kill me over and over and over again for the watch that's bringing me back. I wish I'd have gotten to Luther first. I should've gotten to him first this is not good. They want to kill me. All because of the pocket watch is this what Pora meant by unhappiness I feel unhappy without Luther near me. I have the watch but still.

The voice said cheer up something good will happen soon I hope so. I said, looking out the watch feeling its glow, and seeing the glow around me.

But I wasn't expecting to be ambushed today.

I know, but you need to make the best of the situation.

and try to make a plan for an escape from the cell I mean in your fate.

The wing commander came back to my cell and said there was a way out of this Scarlet. You could not have to die. If you decide to pretend to be my girlfriend even let you go back to your little apartment and live alone and clean armor and do whatever you want, and if you need more answers about the timeline or whatever it is, you need to figure out or return the pocket watch to Luther. I will allow that too. I thought that this would be best not to get tested to be a Timecrest. I know they'll probably want to do it anyway, but I still want you to pretend to be my girlfriend no matter what he says even if you die and come back to life, I want you to be my pretend girlfriend. It'll protect you from your brother are you sure about this? He said attacks I mean Ashli I can't do about your death, but I can do about future deaths that he might fix on you, Scarlett.

fine wing commander Valen Callum I said I will do what you ask, but I won't like it. I'm not asking you to. I'm not even asking you to love me or be in love with me. I'm just asking you to be my girlfriend. It'll help your situation a bit lead your case.

But you want to flirt with me or anything Calum shook his head. No, I won't touch you if you don't want will have to hold hands though make it look convincing, and you'll have to let me broadcast that I'm your girl that you were my girlfriend on the vision mirrors only the public eye will be a relationship will be a couple he says in private you don't have to be anything to me, it's only for the guy and obedience all right then if that's what you like.

and that's what I did I pleaded to be his girlfriend for the public eye, at least, but I was still locked in the cell. I had to go into the trials and I was gonna be killed by my brother, but I had to watch the watch was gonna bring me back, they said I can fight if I'd like I'm not just gonna be killed. I can have a chance to fight back too if I want and I will.

it was a few days until the trials well, I guess I can deal with that Luther, I'm sorry.

they brought me food and then I fell asleep. The next couple of days will be busy ones for me. I won't be cleaning armor for a while.

ending chapter here I will do chapter 4 soon. I might do it soon after this one I don't know. But I hope you enjoy this chapter ambush and I hope it goes the way. I hope you like it.

I know that the timeline is going off course, but this is how it's gonna go just a bit a little bit a few days before Luther comes that Scarlet did this several times trying to go after him. Go over that in a bit in the next one I guess I'll see you in the next chapter next chapter chapter 4 I'll see you then. .

next chapter chapter 4
