„ God dam it, why do we always get so many homework?” I yelled. ,, Emma, do you always need to yell” my younger Brother Jack looked in my room. ,, None of your Business” Jack rolls his Eyes. ,, Anyways, Mom said, we should put our winter clothes to the attic.” Together we went to the attic. I hated this place, it is creepy and you always feel like something bad could happen, any moment. While I was putting my cloths in a shelf, Jack looked around. ,, Hey Emma, look what I found” Jack showed me an old and golden Pocket Watch. ,, How old do you think is it?” He looked at me. ,, I don’t know” I did not really looked at it, because I just wanted to go down in my room. Before I went downstairs, I looked at Jack who slowly opened the Pocket Watch. A light flash appears. When I opened my eyes, we were at a market. Jack and I looked at each other with the same question where we were. ,, Salute, are you two lost” a voice got us back from our thoughts. A girl looked at us. She was around my age, had gingered hair which were put in a ponytail, freckles and green eyes. ,, I asked you, if you are lost?” she repeated the question. ,, Pardon, we are actually lost. Do you mind telling us were we are?” The Girl in front of us looked sceptics. ,, You are at the market place in Paris” Jack looked at her I could tell that he is confused by just looking in his eyes. Then I started realizing that everyone including my brother the girl and me were dressed outmoded. ,, What year do we have?” I asked. The girl looked at me. ,, Well, all I know it the time from our King Ludwig the 16.” ,, Jack, this may sound crazy but I think we time travel.” Jack wide his eyes, while the girl watched us. ,, Who are you guys?” ,, I am Jack and this is my older sister Emma” Jack answered quickly. ,, I am Félicia. Where do you come from?” ,, We are from the Future.” Jack answered. Félicia still looked really sceptics. ,, I know it sounds strange, but please believe us. We don’t want to harm anyone.” I have tried to explain. ,, Okay, how you end up here?” ,, Maybe it was the Pocket Watch.” Jack said. ,, How about we go somewhere else, where we can tell you about everything in peace.” I said. Félicia nodded. She brought us to a river near the village. Jack and I told her the story from the beginning. After we finished she said ,, I don’t know what to say, but I think I trust you, I guess.” Suddenly we heard a lot auf voices just yelling and gunshots. Jack got scared and grabbed my arm. Félicia also grabbed my other arm. I just closed my eyes, hoping that it will stop soon. It felt like an eternity, until the voices got away. We decided to take a look what happened. When we arrived the village, I could not believe what I saw there where blood everywhere, the village looked like it was a horror movie and Head from the soldiers were impaled and carried around the streets. What happened here? Jack looked pale and if he could pass out any second, probably from the shock. I was not able to move. Félicia on the other hand talked to a woman who does not stand far from us. ,, The Villagers attacked the Bastille, to protest about the King” Félicia explained. I was not able to answered, so I just nodded. Jack slowly calmed down and after a while, I was able to move as well. Félicia brought us to a little cottage. ,, That was something.” I said. ,, I did not thought they would go this far.” Félicia answered. ,, What do you mean?” Jack asked. ,, Well, I did know that they talk about the government and economy, but I thought they would stay peaceful.” Félicia said. ,, Do you think it can get worse?” Jack asked me. I could saw how scared he was, I never saw him in this state. ,, Well, according to my history lessons this is just the start of the revolution of France. The Bastille got attacked because of the failed harvest and the dismissal from the minister of finance, got the people angry and anxious.” I answered. Félicia and Jack both looked very anxious, I got worried, and what if something happened to them? What if we are part of this war? What if we got separated? A hug from Jack got me back from my thoughts. Carefully I pat his brown hair, while I listen to his breath, it was a while since we hugged, and normally we spend most of our time with our friends or in our rooms. ,, Do you think the Pocket Watch can bring us back?” I asked Jack after a while. ,, I don’t know, but it worth a try.” He said. Jack opened the Pocked Watch, nothing happened. ,, Maybe we should change the time.” Jack said. As soon as he touched the hand of the Pocked Watch, the light flash appears again.
