Erstwhile

Eunoia

As Quinn sprinted through the trees and into the mountains, she felt something was terribly wrong, increasing in speed every minute, her black hair flying behind her in the blustering wind. Matteo was injured, she could hear his earsplitting screams from inside the cave, jumping, tripping, running, her legs would soon give way. Finally she made it and the screams were unbearable now. "Matteo! What happened!?! Somebody help!!" His left hand had been severed off by a Mountain Ghast. They were merciless, and once they had tasted human flesh, they would crave that meat alone, and live on nothing else.

They had to keep moving. Matteo's arm was bleeding freely and he was growing faint, and so Quinn had no choice but to carry him up the mountains and into Artiscund's Creek where a physician would have to give him proper treatment to heal his wound. "It hurts Quinn!", Wailed Matteo. "Shut up! I'm already carrying you. What do you want me to do, kiss it better?!  They carried on up the mountain until they reached the creek.  "Good evening Miss Sukel, what may  i do for you?", Asked the physician. "Well my brother has been attacked by a Mountain Ghast and he's been bleeding for over 20 minutes, Can you help him?", "Well of course i can", He replied, searching his drawers for a towel, then soaking it with antiseptic and applying it to his open wound. "Oh God! Thats painful!! Would you mind doing a bit less roughly!?!" Quinn looked hard at Matteo, giving him one of her lethal death stares, but since they were twins, Matteo looked back at her with just as much intensity. Once the physician had dressed his wound, Quinn gave him four gold pieces and left with a polite thank you, but it was getting late, and the twins had to speak with Dimitri, as he had an urgent task to assign them. 

The second they reached the house, the front door flung open. "Woah!! Calm down Dimitri!" Shouted Matteo, startled.

"Its urgent!" Said Dimitri, "Thomas has just found a new way of twisting time. I have to send you two off to some place called "New York"  but you're not going to be there in 1902, you're going to be there in the 115 years from now...2017!!"

"What? How is that even possible?! How is he going to do that?" Asked Quinn.

"Well, he has some sort of device that is able to cut "windows between worlds " he says, but it still does not occur to me how that can even be done."

"Maybe he's a magician." Suggested Matteo.

"No, no it simply cannot be. It defies the laws of science, religion...and...and even life!" Mumbled Quinn as she paced across the living room.

"I have the device here, it's some sort of hook that you throw up into the air and catch it three times, but it can only be used once, so..."

"What?! Are you trying to send us there forever!? Im sorry Dimitri but i cant agree with....."

And in the blink of an eye, the twins had disappeared into a new world, very different from the world they lived in. Street lights, beeping, shouting, smoke, it was hectic! Quinn and Matteo were dizzy with all of the things going on around them. Too much noise, too many colours, what was this?! As they looked around them, they saw people wearing blue canvas trousers, funny hats, tight, leathery coats and other, very strange items of clothing. So this is what life would be like 115 years from 1902, what a peculiar world  thought Matteo.
