Thirty-six - Kaitlyn

I woke slowly, the agony was familiar. The storm dissipated as I struggled to fully wake myself. After a time jump was the grogginess of a deep hangover, plus more, full body agony and wretchedness. If I had known my future would be full of it I probably wouldn’t have been so flippant with my health all those party nights. That being said, just after a time jump, what I really needed was a stiff drink.

The hypocrisy was freaking real.

My head was on the foot rest of the ATV. My body lay in the dirt beside it. I wasn’t a hundred percent sure where I was. Usually when I time-jumped to Balloch I landed in the woods to the east, but the world had probably changed a lot in 600 years. I guessed the forest was mostly gone.

I was in a grassy sort of plain and on first look didn’t see anything familiar. Captain Warren was beside me. I jostled him with my knee. “Hey, Warren, get up.”

He groaned and sort of pushed me away.

I said it again, “Captain Warren, get up. We’re near the castle and it’s probably dangerous and you’re supposed to be protecting me.”

He groaned again and sat up. “I forgot how awful it is.”

I jiggled Hayley’s foot and Zach’s leg. “Guys, get up, we gotta move.” They groaned and started sitting up.

“I know it sucks. Captain Warren, where did you go before?”

“Greece, Russia, mostly to gather antiquities.”

“That sounds fun.” I lurched to my feet and stiffly straightened in my heavy bullet-proof vest and helmet.

He looked around groggily. “Follow me.” He and I jumped on an ATV, and took the lead, driving into the shade-cover of the closest trees.

We were somewhat hidden at the edge of the woods, but Captain Warren looked all around as we drove, keeping an eye out for trouble.

I asked, “Which way is Balloch Castle?”

“Tae the north, and Magnus’s castle is that way.” He thumbed the direction he had been watching. There was a far off rumble and the earth shook.

“Fighting over there. Follow me.” He spun our ATV in a circle and Zach pulled his in behind ours. We raced through the woods, winding through trees and over brush. It wasn’t far, but our engines made a racket, and now that I was looking I recognized the mountains and although the woods were thinner, more sparse, even the landscape seemed familiar.
