Series Wednesday: Timetopia page 80

      I look at everyone on the floor. I can feel my nose bleeding and I can hear Kara laughing. “Oh little girl, foolish little girl. You think after everything you have learned about the truth, really you think you know anything about the Orbs or us for that matter? Let me tell you, you really don’t.” She is laughing as she gets up and dusts herself off. “Ava are you okay?” I start to stand up and nod to Rev to let her know I am okay. “What don’t I know?” I yell at Kara. “Using the Orb’s full potential will kill you. You are not as modified as we are. There is a big part of the story that no one knows, the reason that they travel from year to year.”  Kara stops and her Orb goes to her hand. I close my eyes and focus on trying to knock her over again. Another pulse comes out of my Orb but I feel even weaker. “Ava stop!” Kora yells as she gets knocked over. I look back to see Rev on the floor as well. “You see there is a huge part of the story that the Five left out and you know what, I think its story time.” Kara yells from the ground. “You see the Orbs were not just linked to use by DNA they also feed off our energy to work. We knew when we made them that no one who was not a part of the world we left behind would not be able to handle it. Let me give you a little history lesson. You know how all of our countries were bombed and we were all sent to encampments, that is where we were put into the team that made the time machine. But what no one knows is it took us 77 years to make it. They didn’t just have us working for them. They tested on us as well. They made us stop aging, well aging the way you do. We also regenerate much faster than you. So just keep fighting me, go ahead I dare you! I will just out wait you. You will die powering it, unlike mine. I put a piece of mine in me and let’s just say as I power it, it powers me.” I can’t win, I think this is the moment I realized it.

                Rev is back on her feet behind me. I can’t keep the pulses coming or I will die. I look back at Rev hoping she will give me a sign of what to do. “Stop pulsing.” Rev shouts. “How else am I supposed to keep her down?” I ask. “I got this.” Rev says as she starts shooting. She shoots Kara right in the shoulder. Kara laughs as she throws a pulse out of her Orb at us. “This has been fun but I have grown tired of you.” I am not sure which one of us she is talking to. Kara just disappears in front of us. I try to get on my feet but I feel too weak to stand. Kora is running over to me. “I will help you.” Kora is still here but why? Why would Kara Leave without her. “Where did she go?” I yell to Rev. “I don’t know.” Rev has her gun up. I look at Kora as she helps me up. Rev scream, I look over to her and she is getting pulled through a hole. It is so fast I almost missed it. “NO Rev!”  I scream as I try to run over to where she just was. “No Ava wait.” Kora says as she holds me back. “Please… you can’t let her hurt Rev.” I can feel the tears falling down my check as each word struggles to get out. “Ava I can’t promise you that she isn’t already dead. I can only promise to protect us.”  She loses her embrace on me to look me in the eyes before sticking her hand out. I think she wants the Orb. I don’t believe her so I hold on to the Orb tighter. I feel another pulse push me over. “You see if you were on our side, I could teach you how to use it properly. But since you want to deny your family; well not to be too old testament you will have to parish.”  Kara says as she stands in front of me. The pulse only knocked me over, Kora is still standing. This is what she must have meant about learning to use the Orb properly. “Stop it Kara! She is my daughter!” Kora yells, she rips the Orb out of my hand. She sends a pulse out toward Kara, knocking her to the ground. “Kora don’t do this!” Kara screams. “She is my baby. I will not give her up again.” Kora screams at Kara.  “You think I would give her up! She is part of you and I am trying to protect her! Kora I have given everything in this life to reassure your safety. I even let everyone think I was the bad guy who blew up those cities because the truth is much more dangerous. I wish you could remember so you would understand.” Kara is crying as she screams at Kora. I don’t understand anything that Kara is saying and by the looks of Kora face she doesn’t either.  “You really think they didn’t know what we were creating. You think we got away??? Kora you’re smarter than that. Think about it, do you even remember the day we went back in time??” Kara yells at a confused Kora. “I don’t remember a lot of thing because you mess with my mind!” Kora screams. I stand up next to Kora. “I didn’t mess with anything I protected you. We couldn’t beat them, so I joined them.” Kara isn’t yelling anymore. Kora turn to me. “I know some day I will find you again. I know now what’s going on. I have to fix things but I can’t with you here. Find Rev and one day once I have fixed things I’ll find you.” She whispers in my ear, as I feel her open a hole behind me. She starts to push me in; I see the necklace around her neck and rip it off of her. “Not if I find you first” I yell as she shoves me through the hole. I hit something hard. I can hardly breathe there is something wrong with the air. I open my eye to see more people then I have ever seen in my life. But I can’t breathe. “AVA!” I hear from the side of me. It’s Rev with something in her hand. “Here breathe in this it will help.” She says as she sticks something in my mouth that lets out a liquid that coats my throat. I can breathe a little better now. “Your body isn’t use to the pollution. So you have what we call asthma.” Rev says as she helps me up. “Where are we?” I ask her as all of the sounds, people and lights are drowning my senses all at once. “This is Time Square, we are in New York. I got here a week ago and since they dropped me here I knew this is where you would be coming through so I have been waiting for you. There is also one more thing.” Rev looks behind her. I look and there is James. “James is here?” I ask her even though I can see him. I am a little in shock to see him here. “Yes they dropped him here 4 years ago. He was here when I came out. He has done pretty well for himself but we can talk about that later. What happened to Timetopia?” Rev asks as I look around. “I am not sure. But I grabbed Kora’s zip thing.” I showed it to Rev. “So what does this mean?” She asks me. “It means we are going to make our own Orb and get back there.” Rev smiles at me.

The end of book 1

Series wednesday: Tiemtopia page 79

                 “Ava you need to open your eyes.” I can hear Rev’s voice. "I swear if she dies I will kill you!" I hear Rev screaming. "Her pulse is back to normal. Ava sweetie I need you to open your eyes."  I hear Kora's voice. I open my eyes and see Kara. "You might not have always been a monster but you let them turn you into something much worse." I tell her. "See she is fine so why don't you put the gun away before I kill you."  Kara still talks like she is in charge. I sit up to see Kora right next to me and Rev pointing a gun at Kara. Rev looks at me. "Talk to me." she says to me. "I was stuck in one of her memories." Kara laughs. "It is a failsafe just in case my Orb ever got broken into. It’s like a spider’s web."  I definitely felt like I was stuck in something. I start to get up on my feet. "Sweetie you might not want to do that." Kora says. Kara pulls out her Orb and a laser light comes out, Rev drops to the floor. Kora pulls me off the floor to the side of the room. “Rev!” I see her look at me and wink. She starts shooting at Kara as Kara start pointing the laser at Rev. The laser cuts threw everything it touches. I try to push Kora out of the way to get to Rev. “Stop fighting me Ava I am trying to protect you.” Kora tells me. “Let me go!” I yell at her. I can hear the laser cutting through the sofa. I look at Rev hiding down the hall way peaking her head out to shoot. “Trust me Ava she has a plan for all of us. You need to stop fighting. Let this happen.” Kora says to me. I can’t believe she would even say that to me. “Your brain washed what do you know!”  I yell at her as I slam her head into the wall to get her out of my way. She hits the floor and blood is coming out of her forehead. I run to the kitchen to sneak out the window so I can run around the house to the other side to help Rev.

                I sneak into my bed room window. I look at my closet opened by a completely different me, even just this morning. I can’t stop to think about that or if it is time travel right now I need to get to Rev. I open my room and there is Rev down the hallway. “Show her the light.” I scream at Rev, She laughs as she pulls a bomb out of her backpack. She throws it at Kara and starts running down the hall way to me. I shut the door behind her and we jump out the window. “Come on.” Rev yell at me as we start running down the street. I hear my house explode behind me. “Stop!” I hear from behind us. We keep running and don’t stop. All of the sudden I hear a ringing and I’m on the floor. There is smoke all around us. Rev stands up pulling her gun out aiming it at Kara who is walking toward us.  I see all my neighbors coming out of their houses. “Rev don’t shoot!  Look around.” I scream as I slowly try to get up but I can’t seem to stop spinning. I can feel an arm wraps around me. “Come on,” James says as he helps me up. “We have to help Rev.” I tell James. I look ahead at Rev. “Everyone go back inside your houses” Rev says. “They will not listen to you but me on the other hand.” Kara says as she laughs. “Hello Everyone I need your help catching this very bad person.” After Kara speaks it is very clearly has never spent time in Timetopia, we do not get evolved in anyone else’s business that is rude. “Kora what is happening?” One of the neighbors asks. They think she is Kora. “Timetopians this is not Kora. Timetopia has been invaded! Run into your safe place!” I scream out. Everyone looks confused. “I am your leader and you should do what I say... Now kill this girl!” she points at Rev. “That’s not Kora!” The people start yelling as they start to run back to their houses.  “Well that didn’t work as planned. Time for some rain,” Kara says as her Orb goes into the air and splits in half. The Orbs start to rain on the people, the people start to scream. The rain is turning them into ashes. I look at them as they melt away. How could she do such a thing? She puts her hand out and her Orb comes back together. “Well now that there are no more distractions.”  Kara says as she starts to head toward Rev.  James runs to block Rev. Kara laughs as she starts to swing her Orb in a circle. It starts to suck James in. “NO!” Rev says as she tries to hold on to him. “I love you REV!” James says as he pushes Rev back. The hole sucks him in. “Where is he?” Rev asks. “Somewhere you are sure to follow. Just wait and see.” Kara says. If her Orb can do that I wonder what mine can do. “Rev, ORB!” I yell she pull it out of her pocket and throws it to me. Kara laughs “And what do you think you’re going to do with that?” I smile at her. As a pulse comes out of the Orb knocking her off her feet.

Update: Timetopia coming to an end.

Hi every one,
I just wanted to thank all of you for tuning in for Timetopia every week. It is a series I truly loved writing. However it was not just a series. It is actually a novel i have been working on. I just wanted to see how many would like it. I am shockingly surprised how many people tune in every week to read it. I do plan on making it a book for every one to have in their hands but that is a long way from now. I know there will be questions on if i will start a new series on Wednesday after timetopia is finished and to be honest I am thinking about it but i am not sure yet. I am finishing up the last few pages of Timetopia. I hope you all love it!

Poem: my skin bees

I can hear the bees buzzing beneath my skin.

They are louder then the world around me.

Their shear unnoticed presents lets me know something is wrong.

They buzz so loud i fear you might hear them.

Much like i said they are unnoticed by any one but me.

I will never understand how this can be,

I feel as if the world can see my skin bees.

They keep a hold of me.

Keeping others from touching me.

The pain of another touch is much like a real live bee sting.

How ever this one just lives all over my skin.

The doctors say i am mad with PTSD,

But i try to explain its not me.

Just the bees that live in my skin. 

Series Wednesday: Timetopia Page 78

                I grab the knife and stab him in the throat. The blood just comes pouring out of him. The girl who screamed was helping me. So I walk over to her and let her out. "Where are the rest?" I ask her. "In their rooms, they have already picked for the night we are the unchosen." I look at the rooms. I can’t do this alone. "Do you think the other girls will help?" She smiles at me. "Yes they will help." She goes and taps on each door and the girls inside crack the door open. "Move" I tell them and walk in the room. I see the teachers sleeping safely in their bed. So I cut each of their throats out. They didn't stand a chance I was too fast. I found the room of the teacher who had been changing Kora's answers. "There is no way in. He doesn't let any girl spend the night in there." The girl tells me. I take off my clothes and tell her to stand back. I part my hair like Kora's. I start to knock on his door. He cracks it open. I say in the most timid voice I can muster. "Your request has been approved," I tell him. He gets a sick smile on his face and he opens the door. I stab him in the leg first. He drops to the floor screaming I know it is only a matter of time before the guards come. The rest of the girls have gotten the other girls off the walls and put clothes on. "Help me." I yell as I start to drag him to the wall. The girls all help as he tries to fight us but all of us working together get him strapped to the wall. "You girls should go before they catch you." I tell the girls. They all run off after thanking me and now it is just me and him. "She is just a little girl. Admit you changed her answers on her test to make her look dumb," I scream at him. I know the cameras are recording. "No that's not true" he says so I slice him in the stomach. "Liars have to pay for their lies." I tell him. He whimpers but I keep cutting him. I am now covered in his blood. "Admit the truth and I’ll stop." He takes a deep breath. "So I changed her answers it doesn't matter, you will get hung for this. Then who will protect her tell me that. Your foolish, I’m not the only one with a bid on her." I look him in the eyes as I sliced his neck open. I feel a sharp pain in my back and see the guard behind me shocking me. I wake up to find myself in a room. This was the day I started my training in how to be a more efficient killer. I made a deal to keep Kora safe by taking these classes. I would go to one during the day and one at night. They would teach me how to withstand torture of all sorts.

                "Get out!" I see Kara in front of me but everything around us is back. I don't know what is happening but there is a teenage Kara standing over me. "How did you get in here??" She asks me. "I am not sure. I think you were showing me your memories and as I was living them I ended up here with you. How old are you?" I ask her. "I'm 17. How did you get into my Orb?" She asks me. How would 17 year old Kara know about the Orb? I know I can't trust adult Kara but can I trust this Kara and where am I? "Where are we?" I ask her. "The hole this is where they put me when I killed the guard who tried to go into Kora's room one night." I look around this doesn’t seem like a hole. I am just laying here or standing here I am not really sure. I am just here with her. “How do you get out of here?” I ask her. “They pull me out. Who are you?” Kara asks me. “I am Kora daughter.” I tell her. She starts shaking her head. “NO! You must get out!” She starts screaming so loud it’s ringing in my ears.  I feel like my ear drums are going to burst. I put my hands over my ears. “STOP!!!” I start to scream back. I try to close my eyes to try to stop the sound. It finally stops and I open my eyes and she is gone it is just me in this hole alone. I don’t know if this was her I sit here for what feels like days at first. She hasn’t come back and I can’t walk or move I am just here. I wish more than anything I could figure out what this place is. I miss Rev and fear I will never see her again. There has to be a way out. What if I call for the Orb, I am guessing her Orb is what got me here. I just think of my Orb and its light. I just focus on its light and soon the darkness of this hole starts to light up.  I don’t see anything past the bright light. What if I was wrong and the light I am calling for is really going to take me to a place where I never see my dad or Rev again. I wonder if my mom is on the other side of the light. I can feel it growing and getting closer only one way to find out. “That’s them pulling us out of this hole.” I hear Kara and now she is next to me. “I don’t believe you’re Kora’s daughter but I will warn you. If they are pulling you out it is not good.” 

Poems: The lie in my ear.

The lie screams in my ears day and night.

Telling i can't and i wont.

It is in my own voice how am i suppose to ignore?

How am i suppose to endure?

I lay in my bed with no desire for anything more.

The days are endless with no attempt to even remember the days useless events.

Nothing holding me up or holding me here.

I fear that this depression might win.

I know that it is a lie in my ear,

but it doesn't stop me from letting it in.

Some how i still mange to not give up.

I still go to work every day and do my best,

With a big bright smile i truly hide.

For nothing in this life is wrong enough for me to die.

That is the trick to this malevolent beast.

It doesn't just attack when things are bad,

the lie can change even the brightest of lights.

Series Wednesday : Timetopia Page 77

     Kara and Kora are standing in their electrical cage. Kora is sitting on the floor with her arms wrapped around her knees. "So this is your big plan. To lock us away while you get your dad out?" I look at Kara. "Unlike you I don't have some giant plan. I am just trying to protect him from you." I respond. "Not bad I didn't see this coming that's for sure. So what are you going to do now?" Kara says as she stands back from the ends of the cage. "We are going to kill you, is that not obvious?" Rev says as she steps toward the cage. Kara starts to laugh. "Come and get it, I dare you. You can't kill me little girl."  Rev seems enraged by Kara comment. “Then you don’t know me very well.” Rev responds. “Sweet child I know everything about you. I am the one who researched you. I am the one who found your hole and pulled you out.” Kara says as she walks over to the bars of the cage. She starts to hold onto the bars of the cage, she doesn't break eye contact with Rev but you can see the electricity running through her body.  She holds on as long as she can before she passed out. "Is she dead?" I ask Rev. "She might be her crazy ass probably stopped her own heart." Rev says so calmly. Kora starts screaming. "NO... Kara Please wake up." She starts to pump her chest. I have never seen anyone react this way before. Although before Rev got here I never really seen death. "You can’t let her die! She has bombs in place!" Kora screams at us. "WHAT?" I ask. "We didn't kill her, the psycho killed herself!" Rev yells back at Kora. "It doesn’t matter. She has bombs all around this house!" Kora says frantically. "Ava Check if that's true with your Orb." Rev says as she pulled a remote out of her pocket. I pulled out my Orb to scan for bombs. My Orb shows me there is a total of 50 bombs with in a 10 mile radius. "She isn't lying."  I tell Rev. "Fine give me the Orb and I’ll let you in to help her." I hand the Orb to Rev. "This way they can't make you use the Orb, since I can't use it this seem like the best idea. Grab my backpack I have a shot in there full of adrenaline. Just stab her in the heart. Okay?" Rev says things like they are not a big deal but I feel like stabbing someone in the heart is a huge deal. I just nod yes and grab the shot from her backpack. Rev pushes a button on her remote and the electricity goes out on the cage. I am able to slide through the bars to Kara and Kora. "Stand back," I tell Kora who is crying like crazy. I stab Kara in the chest with the shot and she takes a breath. "Finally" She says and I feel something smack my head hard.

                I open my eyes to see my baby Kora sleeping in front of me. I reach over to hug her before I close my eyes again. I open them to see Kora laughing. We are playing on a playground on top of a building. I see men coming up to us. "Kora and Kara you are now owned by the state and have to come with us." I feel fear but I know it is my job to protect Kora. "Run Kora!" I yell at her. She hops off the playground and run toward the end of the building, I am fast behind her. "Kara I am scared!" She screams as she stands at the edge. "Jump Kora!" I yell as I grab her hand and we jump across the building. We run as far and as fast as we can but the men were waiting for us at the end of the ladder. They grab us and tell us not to fight. I knew this meant we would never see any of our family again. I somehow knew this meant at the age of 5 we are on our own. The men stuck us in cages but at least we are next to each other. I go to sleep on the cold floor. I open my eye and I am now in my own room with a bed. Kora and I get ready for class. She got to many answers wrong on her test again. "I swear I put the right answers someone changed them." Kora tells me in tears knowing that if she kept getting wrong answers she would be sent with the men to earn her keep. I stay in class after the next test and look at her answer sheet. She has all the right answers but somehow the next day in class her answers were changed. I look up to see our teacher licking his thin lips at her. I know what’s happening he is trying to buy her. What do I do I am only 11 years old. I know a ways out of my room that I haven't tried. I take some foil from the kitchen when I am on dinner shift. I wrap a fork I stole in foil and shove it in my doors lock, it shocks me. So when it’s time for them to lock us in at night my door looked like it locked but didn't. I open my door and no alarm. I walk out of my room and slide close to the walls so the cameras won't see me. I make it all the way to the teachers sleeping rooms. I see girls who use to be in our class naked and ties up to the walls. This is what I don't want to happen to Kora. I wasn't sure what I was going to do when I got here and being here now seeing them. I know that I have to kill him. I slowly open the door and walk into the open area and the girls on the wall see me. I put my finger over my lips for them to be quiet. They just stand there and cry. One screams at me "Behind you!" I have a fork in my hand but I see a knife on the table next to me. The guard tries to grab me but I slip through his arms.
