Chapter 2 - CHAPTER TWO

Once they were done from the restaurant, Kisha and Robert were heading home at night when they come face to face with gang fights.

"The rings. Dangerous cult group." Robert said, making a reverse with the car and proceeding to take another route.

"But I thought their leader was killed?" Kisha asked.

"Well, there is always going to be a new leader. I hear they call this one the ring General." He informed her as they moved through the lonely road.

"I need to petition the Mayor to do something about these people." She said.

Suddenly the brakes failed and Robert had to move to a safe spot and park the car. He groaned in frustration.

"Are you sure you got this car newly?" Kisha asked, getting out of the car.

"Babe, it's just the brakes. It can happen to any car. Don't worry, I am going to fix it." He replied and reached down the engines trying to see what he could do about it.

He was checking around when his eyes landed on a shiny object laying on the ground. 

Curious, Robert goes over and finds out it was a wrist watch. 

It wasn't just any wrist watch, this one cost a fortune.

Excited, he pulled his old wristwatch out and wore the new one. The surface of the wrist watch begins to glow and suddenly his car's ignition was turned on.

"Babe? Did you turned the car back on?" He asked with a confused face as he retur returned to the car.

"I thought you were the one!" She said with surprise look on her face.

It was a strange occurrence, but Robert ignored it and drove off the road.

After a few more e minutes Robert and Kisha returned back to their apartment. The moment they walked into the living room, Kisha jumped into him crashing her lips and savoring the sweet taste of his lips.

Robert gently placed her on the bed and their intimacy rose to another level. He moved away from her lips down to her neck.

Kisha closed her eyes allowing him explore the delicate part of her body while she bites her lower lips.

She decided to place her hand on his hair but caught nothing. Kisha opened her eyes and Robert was gone.

"Babe?" She called, getting up from the couch.

Kisha was confused. She rushed towards the kitchen thinking Robert could be inside but there was no sign of him.

She went to check the rooms but there was still no sight of Robert.

Panic begins to set in because she did not know what to make of the situation. 

Just one moment they were in close intimacy and the next moment he was gone.

What is going on.

*

Robert opened his eyes and found himself in one of the gardens in Wyrdwood city. He was confused.

He remembered kissing Kisha and now finding himself in Wyrdwood garden. 

But something felt different about the garden.

It was gloomy and the sun wasn't out like it used to be. 

Robert suddenly heard a loud cry and decided to go trace the voice. He walked through the garden, following the sound of the voice untill he appeared before a stranger.

"Excuse me." He called but the strange continues to cry. 

Curious.

Robert decide to take steps forward to find out what he was crying about. 

When he arrived it was a grave but that wasn't all. 

Robert turned to identify the face of the stranger and he gasped at the sight before him.

"What is going on?" He asked as panic begins to set in

This wasn't any stranger. 

Infact he was standing next to himself. But what differentiates the both of them was the longer beard and the rough hair.

"You must be the past me!" He said, wiping off his tears.

"What are you talking about? Who are you and why do you look like me." 

"Look at that." He said and pointed to the grave before the both of them.

Robert turned to look at the grave, this time making out the inscription written on the grave.

He gasped in shock.

Kisha Millie

"That is the name of my wife." He said pointing to the grave.

"That is because she is dead." The stranger replied.

"What?" Robert asked with shock on his face. "You must be joking. I was with my wife just few seconds ago."

"That is because you are the past me. I am from your future and somehow you have managed to break through time force to be here."

Robert blinked twice at the man. 

He had no clue what he was talking about.

"Look," He said and reached into his pocket, pulling out a paper and then proceeding to scribbly down words before handing it over to Robert.

"If you want Kisha alive, then you have to find those people. They are the ones that can save her." 

"I don't understand anything happening here. My wife doesn't need any saving" Robert argued.

"Can't you don't listen to what I am saying? What you are seeing now is from your future. I am that future of yours and if you want Kisha to be in the future with you alive, then you have to do what I asked you." 

Suddenly a loud explosion rocked the place.

"What is that?"

Robert gasped as the man's eyes changed color.

"Go before you cannot get out of here." He stretched his hands forward and Robert vanished afterwards.

He appeared back in his living room and on the floor with a loud thud.

"Ouch!"

"Oh My God!" Kisha scream, clutching unto her chest. "What happened? Where did you go?"

Robert got up to his feet and then memories of what his future self had told him begin to flood into his memory as he laid eyes on Kisha.

He checked his pocket and realized the note that was given to him wasn't there.

"Shit!"

"Talk to me Robert. What is going on?" Kisha asked as he walked towards the room.

He grabbed one of her pen and pulls out a jotter. Robert closed his eyes trying to remember the names on the jotter.

Gareth.

Anthony.

Mark.

"What are these names?" She asked.

"I have to find these people." He replied.

"For what?"

"Don't worry, you are going to find out soon." Robert assured her.
