„ 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.
