Brendon's POV
"A job? What do you mean? I don't even understand what's even going on. Am i dreaming?" I look around and pinch myself. " Alright, stop. That's not going to help the situation right now. We're wasting time, are you in or not?" The Black Figure said.
"I-I don't know. Why are you asking me?!" I said as i'm flipping out. "Look. Ali has been trying to talk to you for so long. She has 'those' feelings for you. Are you going to go against that?" He questioned me. " I-I-" I got interrupted. " Alright, that's taken care of, let's do this." he said.
"W-Wait! What exactly am i doing here?" I asked. He looks at me for a few seconds and sighs in annoyance. " You're here because of the mistake she made. Trying to change the past by time travel." He told me.
" You mean... she went back into time and messed it up, which caused her to...die?" he nods. " Thankfully you're quick to understand. You know what you're going to do then?" He questioned me.
What i'm going to do? Is he trying to tell me that I have to save her? "Correct. We need to go to the exact time she triggered the events that caused her to die." I was shocked. "H-how did you-" He cut me off. " I can read minds. Other than that, are you ready?"
"Wait! Wasn't she in a car accident? How can i save her when she's in a CAR?" I was confused. " Time will freeze up for 5 seconds, so act quickly. " He warned me. " Uhh...ok.....Alright, i'm ready." I felt focused. " Okay. Let's st- Oh wait! i forgot one thing." I was confused. Seconds later a glowing light appears on his hand and then it went inside me. " !!!! " Everything felt so fast i couldn't tell what was happening. These memories....... They're the ones i had when Ali was alive.
I felt overwhelmed that tears rolled down my cheeks. How could i forget these feelings? " ......... " I stayed silent. " Are you good now? " The Black Figure said. I rubbed my eyes and then i looked up in determination." I'm ready."
" Whatever you do, don't save her nephew. " He said. " I know...." I thought about the visit I had to Jayden. He's a good kid. It's heartbreaking that his life was cut short so early.....
" Oh! And don't worry if whether you'll witnessed his death, I'll teleport you back before that happens." He said.
I wasn't even thinking about that. I guess it's a good thing i don't get to see that.....i guess.
" Get ready, it'll be real quick."
"Alright." I breathe in and out. "I'm good, do it"
He raised his hand and touched his forehead. He concentrated and revealed immense power. Not gonna lie, it was pretty sick.
" here goes..." said the Black Figure.
I felt such a strong pressure from the ground. Like a vacuum sucking me up. In an instant i was teleported to a street. I immediately saw Ali about to get inside the car. I knew that i had to act fast. Right as i felt the pressure disappear, time then unfroze. I dashed to Ali as fast as i could. Right as i got close i grabbed her.
"W-What the-" Ali turned around shocked.
"H-hey, it's me." I tried to calm her down.
" B-Brendo-" said Ali.
Ali couldn't finished saying my name right as we got teleported back to the endless black room. I felt dizzy for a second. It makes sense when you're being sucked in. Ali was freaking out and looking around.
"W-What is this! Why am i here!? Where's Jayden?". Ali said in a 'freak-out' mode.
".....he's not here." I said.
Ali looked at me distraught but also devastated. She then looked at the Black Figure.
"Y-You! What did you do! I could have saved him! I know this was your doing!" Ali said furiously.
"If you did that, you'll be dead." The Black Figure said.
"Huh?" Ali was shocked.
She had a moment to think of what she just heard. Then, she looked broken with grief that she knew she couldn't do anything. She dropped down to her feet and stood there on the ground for a while. I let her calm down for a bit and then crouched down to her.
" You know, there is something that I've been meaning to say." i said.
Ali looked up and waited what i meant by that. I took a moment to get my feelings straight then i looked at her.
"I'm in love with you. I've always have." I said with a smile.
She looked at me in shocked. After, she started tearing down and hugged me out of nowhere. Clearly didn't expected that. We took a moment in hugging each other. I wished it lasted longer. We then let go of each other, smiling.
"Are you two done with this lovey-dovey thing? I got to take you two back to your time." said the Black Figure.
"But aren't we from two different timelines? How can we go to the same timeline?" I questioned him.
" Don't worry. Once you go back to the original timeline, those alternate worlds will be erased. Your memories won't though." He answered.
"That's good....." i felt relieved.
" It's time for you two go back now." he said.
"Thanks for this. I learned my lesson, i'm sorry i caused this much trouble." said Ali.
"As long as you won't do it again you don't have to apologized." he said. Ali and I smiled.
"Hey, is it alright if we know your name? I feel bad leaving without knowing it. I said and Ali agreed as she noded at him.
"......... It's Gregory." he said.
"Oh.... Really? Well, i hope we get to see each other again soon then." Ali said.
"Mmm Hmmm" Gregory blushed.
" I guess this is where we part then..." I said
" It is. Until our next encounter. Gregory said with a smile.
Ali and I smiled back at him and then we were teleported.
