Athalia's. P.O.V.

| 1984 7:38 am |

My body was giving up.
I'm going to die. I thought to myself before I felt my conscious slipping. The last thing I saw before I was submerged in darkness was a pair of familiar  silver eyes. My body feel limp only to be caught in a pair of strong arms.

| 2017 8:37am |

I woke up inside the storage room and jolted upright, which I definitely regretted, but I was confused on how I just got here. The last thing I remember was almost being strangled to death and familiar silver eyes. The storage room is back in 2017 but I still see the photo album laying next to where I just woke up. Picking it up I trace my fingers over the little soft swirls made with a fabric that was velvet. My mind wandered back to those eyes. The same eyes as my grandfather and my mother. But so much brighter slightly dulled at the same time. So, familiar yet so different. I sighed at got up and exited the room to see Kassie and grandfather sitting at the little table in his clock shop. Lines of worry etched on their forehead as they stared at the door. It looked like they were waiting for someone.

"Hey guys, whats going on." I asked as I stumbled out of the storage room all the way clutching the photo album in my hands.

"ATHALIA ANNABEL GLASS ! WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?" Kassie yelled as she made her way over to me tackling me in a tight hug.
"You were missing for 2 hours and and no one knew where you were, we were so worried." My grandfather explained and pulled me into a hug. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. 2 hours.
"I was gone for 2 hours?  It felt like 30 minutes." I explained as I moved to sit down.

"Where did you go?" Kassie asked.
"I was taken to 2000 where I found this photo album."  started holding it up and flipping it to the page where, Julia Casters picture was.
"Then I took myself to 1984 to meet this lady." I added pointing to her picture. 

"Wait what?" Kassie stopped me trying to process what I was saying.
"You fainted, and a guy with silver eyes saved you?" She questioned raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah had the same eyes as Grandpa, and my mom." I said looking at my grandpa. His eyes widened for a smidget of a second and then he turned around. Kassie didn't seem to notice though. I laid my head down on the table all of a sudden feeling really exhausted.
"Okay, let's get you home. You look tired." Kass said tugging on my arm.
She knows me so well. I thought to myself as we made our way to my house.

"It sounded like you had a hell of a time in 1984." she said
"Yeah." I replied slipping my hands into my pocket only to feel piece of paper that wasn't there before. I stopped pulling it out. Kassie noticed I stopped a few seconds later.
" What's that?"  she asks referring to my hands.
" I don't know "I said opening it up.

'DON'T TRUST MINUTES AND SECONDS AND STAY AWAY FROM THE COUNT-CG'

"What is that supposed to mean." Kass asked. Taking the note and reading it herself.
"I have no idea." I said putting back in my pocket. All of a sudden I felt eyes on my back. I turned around a saw someone wearing a grey hoodie standing by a lamp post with his head down so I couldn't see his face. It creeped me out a bit so I pulled on Kassie so we can get to my house.
