26_ we can't go back

General Erox Lander-from the past

"Seriously, Erox, why did we come here? This place was creepy. I couldn't see anything special here. "

Margaret kept asking that over and over again while I was so worried because Princess Margaret and the person who looked like me was still not here. I'm sure that this river was the one that I used to know. Though this river was dry, the river that I used to use was alive and the water was clear and clean.

I wanted to make Margaret see that there was something happening to us or maybe to me alone, because I was just the only one who suddenly came here in this world that years passed by after my era. Where everything was a thousand times more progressive than where I came from.

"Erox, it's getting late now, we should go."

"Can we wait for another moment?"

"No, I want us to go back home. Or else I would date Ezekiel since he invited me tomorrow. "

I narrow my eyes. "What did you say?" "Could you say yes out loud again, young lady?"

Margaret rolled her eyes.

"Yes, I will do that if you will listen to me."

I sigh... I could threaten her or I could say that if she did that, I would make sure that the man would not stand up again, but I don't know why. She could easily threaten me just like that.

So I, like a puppy, followed her orders as long as she was not with some other guy and stayed holding my hands while we were walking.

However, in just a blink of an eye, I saw my face coming forward and he was together with Princess Margaret, but there was another girl with him. They were both holding each other's hands while Erox was in the middle. For some reason, I was so curious, but when I saw not far away that there was someone, or should I say a soldier of the Palace, was going to hit them using an arrow, I ran forward together with Margaret, but we bumped into them.

For some reason, we come back to the time where I belong. but I was reunited with Margaret.

"Waaaa Erox! What is it that I saw myself running forward to us and another guy who looks like you, but they vanish abruptly, and why does the place turn into woods?Waaa there is someone. "

Margaret shouts And I held her so we could run in the opposite direction where the people coming after us would be misled.

Margaret was still talking to herself while we were already far away from where the river is. She keeps asking me over and over what is happening.

I run together with Margaret to where I know that I will be safe. into the place of my mother when she was still alive.

No one knew this because we were always movable when I was young because my mother was tired of criticizing others.

Leaving together with her son and not having any other men in her life that she could call a husband, you would always be criticized by others. That's why we chose to live far away from other people.

It was in the middle of the forest. It was in the middle of the fire and ice.

"Erox I am so tired. Where are we going? Why does it appear that all I can see is forest?Last time I remember, our car was just a few meters away from where the river is, but why does it seem like forever where we are going? "

I tilted my head to look at Margaret.

I'm sorry I dragged you into this place. I didn't mean to. I promise I will explain everything to you once we are already in a safe place.

"You were scaring the hell out of me, Erox. My confused and turbid mind was starting to get crazy because all I could see was f****** trees and plants and everything was so muddy. "

I sigh and keep on walking. But when Margaret stopped while holding her chest.

"I surrender. I didn't want to go anywhere. I am so tired."

I kneeled so I could pigback her.

"Believe me baby, we have to do this. Come piggyback on me. There were a lot of people who wanted to kill us. If we didn't keep going, they might have reached us. "

"Are you crazy? Why would someone be going to kill us? Wait, is it maybe my uncle and aunt? They have groups that could come after me, maybe because of what I did to Christy the last time she visited me. "

I sigh... She really didn't have any idea what was happening and I couldn't explain it to her while we were escaping. Maybe later, I just need to endure all of her compliments that she's been throwing at me.
********
Margaret, from the future

"What is this? What are we doing here? This is some kind of creepy old house. Why do we have to be here? Why do I go back to my house instead?

I shouted at Erox.

"I'm sorry, but I guess we couldn't go back there even if we wanted so badly."

I roll my eyes. "You are kidding right? Why couldn't they go back there? What could be the reason why we couldn't just go back to my house because it's not so very hard to do? "

Erox nods. "Yes, it's so hard to find a white crow. Even if we spend our entire life. "

I narrow my eyes.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Is there something that you know that I need to know?

Erox scratches his nape before looking at my eyes. But I just turned to the other side because I felt like I was going to melt into those beautiful eyes.

"It was hard because we are in a place that is 1000 years away from where you came from."

I burst into laughter. This is the first time that I laughed out loud at his joke. I mean, Erox used to be like that, though lately I think that he is changing, maybe because of the time that I rejected him. Maybe he realized that I didn't like a man who is not serious in life.
