Apologies. I had guests. And I went on a 10-hour uphill hike yesterday. So I couldn't write at all. But everything should be back to normal now.
I guess I'm the half here :P
No. The half is made of the people who read it, liked it, and then never read any more. So it really is 2 quarters.
Good point! But I can still hurt you! =) In some weird...virtual..way...yeah..
Just write some more! =3
...Ow! Please stop. But I will.
Without hesitation, I ran. But after my first step, I found myself on the ground. I tried to get up, but Matt was on top of me, pinning me down.
"Don't move!" He said "They won't do anything if you don't move. Or speak."
I tried to figure out what had happened. Matt hadn't moved, but he was on top of me now. I wished that I could speak, but Matt was right. The soldiers in the room were just standing in odd poses, frozen in place. Matt turned towards me, and told me that we could speak now.
"Why are they frozen?" I asked.
Matt turned, "I stopped time. We have to get out of here, before one of them breaks the freeze. Before you ask, they are Time Cops. They hunt people who break the natural flow of time, and revert what they did. But we didn't do anything, they are just shoving blame onto us. They used to be honorable, but now are corrupt. They come from the future, unfortunately. So we can't beat them. More will come if we do. However... We can run. But there is only one place to go."
Matt walked over to the nearest Cop, and tore his belt off. He dd this to another soldier, then handed one belt to me and put one on himself.
"I set the dial to the proper time. Just press the button, and off we go." He said.
"Stop now. You are in possession of stolen property, and will be punished." The Time Cop with 02 on his helmet was facing us now. "Also, you have distorted time. I am authorized to subdue or destroy you now."
"NO!" Matt shouted " Kill me. But the boy... He is powerful. He would be a most powerful fighter... Why not use him? You do, after all, need more units."
"...As the boy has committed no true crime, I could take him. If I can get authorization." 02 said. A paper appeared in his hand* "Got it! Very well, your new life begins now." He grabbed a knife from his belt, stabbed Matt and dialed his belt all in one motion, then pressed the button.
I woke, and tore out of bed. The light came on, and I saw that nothing was different. I still looked the same in the mirror. I checked the time. 6:25, I was up early. I glanced around the room, seeing that everything was still normal. The two beds were in place, the small bookshelf, the drawers, the bags, the mirror, the desk, all of these were normal. The only thing out of place was that the other bed was empty, and the chair near the desk was occupied. A person sat there, brown hair, brown eyes, slightly taller than me, he was reading a book. He glanced up at me
"Up early, eh, Destor?"
* The magic of time control! 02 jumped forward in time to whence he came, got authorization and went back to the exact same time he left.
