Nothing is wrong with my face. Nothing at all. Everything is normal. Right? I've been here. Mom and Dad have been here. They know I haven't left. Besides, I went to bed--something which I distinctly remember.
I go back to the computer and chat with my friends again.
«Cheryl. I really didn't leave the house last night. I promise.»
«I believe you.»
«It's just... This is all a little hard to take in. I believe time travel may be involved.»
«What? That's impossible.»
«I'm not so sure any more, Fra. Some weird stuff happened yesterday.»
«It might have been you from the future or something?»
«Do you think the device may have done something?»
«I remember it displaying some sort of code.»
«I think it was 7n+t 7aini Qlwa or something along those lines.»
«I pressed the button afterwards and something happened.»
«It felt like I was choking, but then it was over, and the device was gone from my room.»
«I don't know what else happened. I just went to sleep after that.»
«Hold on. Let me invite Vince.»
Cheri0955 added xStarvaultX to the conversation
«Vince, please read what has been said so far today.»
«Give me a moment.»
«So... What»
«Some future version of you showed up at Cheryl's?»
«I mean, that probably makes as much sense as anything else I can come up with but.»
«Time travel. What the heck?»
«I rotated the dial and pressed the button to make it do its thing.»
My computer makes a sound. I've got a friend request.
CheriAlterné0955 has sent you a friend request.
Friend request accepted.
«What?»
«Add me to the conversation.»
Francilma added CheriAlterné0955 to the conversation.
«What»
«Hey.»
«CheriAlterné? Seriously?»
«I didn't know what else to pick, okay.»
«And I'm not here to fight with myself.»
«Cheryl, you»
«This is awkward. Talking to myself is so weird.»
«Cheryl, don't use the device. I don't think you need to.»
«I know you were going to.»
«I used it.»
«What»
«Imagine my surprise when I found out I was brought back to yesterday night.»
«I just woke up in the dark. Checked the time. It was almost exactly 6 hours earlier.»
«I don't know what to think of this.»
«Me neither. Apparently I'm some sort of alternate version.»
«At least, when I turned back around I was still there. Well, you were.»
«So, where are you now?»
«In the yard, under your window. Come and take a look.»
«What?»
«Is this real?»
«Oh my god. It's real.»
«Um, CA, the device has just started ticking.»
«Shit.»
«Well, I've told you all I know.»
«And she's gone.»
«Was that a flash of light?»
«You didn't tell me about this, Cheryl!»
«I didn't know. Vince, could you step outside for a moment?»
«Hopefully she was smart enough to leave her phone here.»
«My phone.»
«Yep, she left it. I'll bring it up to you in a sec.»
«I'm going crazy, or you two are pranking me.»
«What the heck guys.»
«I'm coming over, just so you know.»
I shut down my PC and pocket my phone before going downstairs to eat breakfast. In the meantime I let my thoughts mill over what happened, but I continue to blank out. When I finish, I get ready to leave for Ninecord. I want to see them face-to-face, and I want to make sure I'm not all making this up somehow.
Just as I open the door, a man walks onto the path and approaches. He is tall, and of African descent. Something tells me I should feel threatened by men like him, but he doesn't strike me as dangerous. He is dressed like security or a secret agent, but his pose is a little slumped and his expression is relaxed. He glances at me with surprise and then smiles.
"Miss Francine. May I accompany you for a few minutes? I need to speak with you."
