When Time Runs Out

Chapter Four {Teaser/Sneak Peek}

Chapter Four

I finally looked up at him and his eyes met with mine. His brown eyes grew larger, and he turned and sprinted away from me. Being the idiot I was, I ran after him. I needed to know what was going on. He looked strangely ahead of this time. I finally reached him and grabbed the sleeve of his black sweater, even though it was about ninety degrees out. He stared at me, and that's when I noticed a faint little shimmer around his neck. He noticed that I noticed him, and he glanced around my neck. Apparently I had the same shimmer, as he reached out and grasped my necklace, and looked at the very end of the chain, and he saw the watch. He let my chain go and reached toward his own necklace, and showed me. Our necklaces were almost identical, only he had a different quote. "How did it get so late so soon?" by Dr. Seuss. He parted his lips as if to speak, then shut them, deciding not to. 

"I'm Nia Fields..." I could only barely squeak out. I was so shocked, was he like me? 

"I'm Dominic Newbond..." He whispered. 

"Come with me." He grabbed my wrist so tightly I thought that he was trying to cut off my blood circulation. Dominic soon ran into a dark, thin alley, unlike the one my great-grandparents were in. 

"Who are you? What are you?" Dominic almost yelled at me. 

"I...I... what? I'm... a... hu-"

"No. If you were completely human then you would have that necklace. You wouldn't be able to be here right this moment. Your body would have decomposed the second you went into the tunnel. Who are you?"

"I already told you, i'm Nia. What the heck is the tunnel?" 

"OHHH! You’re a newbie! Well, the tunnel is like a time vortex. It's the dimension between your present, and right now, or any other pinpoint in time."

Ohhh kay. 

"Okay..." 

"I'm going to ask you this one more time, now that i've explained this to you. Who are you?" 

I apparently wasn't a complete human, I was something else now.

"My name's Nia. I'm a time traveler."
