Time Turner

Alfizar sigh as he massaged his temple, there is a faint headache growing. Let's stop thinking about it, no matter how much time he took to think about all those mysteries, he won't get the answer. What he has to think about now was, what happened to their future? He was sure now that it was not a simple daydream. But really a vision, or future memory. He remembered the blood... the corpse, blood stench, fire, gun, scream, blood bLooDblOodBlOoD. STOP THINKING!!!

A sharp pain on his t.h.i.g.h distracted him from that thought. Alfizar pinched his t.h.i.g.h as hard as possible to stop those horrible memories. Something terrible must have happened in the future. He must recover real fast! To protect them!

Alfizar looked at Aurina, Zio, and Henry who still reviewing the movies as they watched it. Then an idea struck his head. Every morning he always rotates the pocket watch's mechanism button so it would work before it would stop working by the next morning, and he would re-rotate it.

When he adjusts the pocket watch's time, he never set the time backward, there's nothing happened when he adjust the time forward, but what about setting the time backward? He unscrews the lid that protecting the dial then he pulled a small lever at the 1 o'clock with his fingernail, he set the watch's time backward and push the lever back in.

He waits for a few moments, but nothing happened, he felt a faint pulling sensation in his heart but waved it off as he was too focused on the pocket watch. Alfizar sigh, he took it too far. 'Well, just as Uncle Zio said, it was normal for a comatose survivor patient too thought of the nonsense...' Alfizar shook his head in disappointment. It was ridiculous, to get worked up over nothing.

"Movies time!" Henry said loudly while he throws his body to the couch beside Alfizar. Alfizar jumped in surprise, the pocket watch slipped from his hand. But before the pocket watch makes a contact with the floor, Alfizar's right hand shoot out to cathed it on the air.

"Ah, sorry to surprise you." That big smile, and his expression that doesn't look sorry at all. Alfizar quickly turned around. His head feels light. There was Aurina came in holding a tray and Zio behind her.

'I... traveled the time...' Was his thought as he went in daze. They watched the same movie as before... the past/future?

Aurina played the movie, and all of them began to watch the movie just like before. After he was sure that their attention was not on him anymore, he does the same thing as before, set the pocket watch's time backward, he pushed the lever in then wait.

He made sure to watch his surroundings this time. Much to his disappointment, Zio, Henry, and Aurina still on their respective seat watching the movie. He waits for a little more, but this time there was really nothing happening.

Even though he failed to verify the time travel theory for the second time, but he knew what had happened before was as real as the fact that the weather in this era keeps changing constantly. His face darkened. This is no kidding, with his family background, it was not impossible for them to have an enemy out there craving for their blood.

Screw the law! Those with connection, power, and money could easily get rid of any evidence. Just like what they did to his parents. He and Aurina lost the both of them, but the police said it was an accident.

He accidentally overheard uncle Zio said to Henry that he suspected that it was murder. On the very same day, the both of them lost their parents, they were taken away to a hiding. They weren't even allowed to attend the funeral! How fair was it when you only allowed coming to your parent's grave several days after the funeral?! He and Aurina not even allowed to look at their parents for the last time! Not even to say goodbye!

He has died... That was for sure. The problem was, he could not remember the future! Who was his enemy? Was it someone he knew? If he doesn't know who it was, how could he avoid the dreadful future? He knew about how he died. He broke his own neck. Alfizar knows for sure that he was not suicidal. That must be a very hopeless situation for him to resort to such an act.

The movies ended, and all of them decided to retire for the night. Alfizar returned to his room, but his thought kept him up the whole night thinking of the possible future, rendering him from sleep. He was unable to sleep, then he kept thinking about the future until he eventually falls asleep without him knowing he did.

It was six in the morning when Alfizar woke up. Was that real? He traveled the time. His hand then began to reach around looking for the pocket watch. He found it on the nightstand.

Then he began to set the time backward again. But nothing happened. But why did it won't worked now? Or maybe it needed some time before he could use it again.

Alfizar shook his head. He quickly prepared himself for the day. Maybe he should join Henry's club as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if he really traveled the time or not. He would find out as the time goes by. What really matters now was, he has to get stronger to protect his family.

From whatever the future holds for them. In those vision, he got the gunfight one much more… and the blood… oh no... his thought began to wander again, such an overactive imagination... Well, there is no loss in getting stronger….

Alfizar walked into the classroom. He had received an email from Mrs.Aritha about his schedule last night, he noticed the email this morning while having breakfast. Though it really doesn't matter whether he got a schedule or not.

There are only a few students in his class. Maybe because it's quite early in the morning. Alfizar approached his and Vianzo's table. Vianzo was not here yet. Dioz and Rachzi were nowhere to be seen either. But Frans was asleep on his seat. Alfizar left him alone.

"Good morning, Alfizar Leonore." Two girls approach him. "I'm Frida, Frida Vonzuck, one of the class rep," Frida said with a gentle smile. "This is Sharile Jardoz, fellow classmates" Frida then introduced another black haired girl, her eyes also black. But her hair was short, it does not even reach her shoulders.

"Nice to meet you, you may call Sharile." Sharile said politely.

"Ah, nice to meet you too, call me Alfi." The girls then pulled other students chair closer to his seat. Their intentions were clear, to get know him more. Somehow a few other students boys and girls come closer to get engaged in the conversation.

They talked about everything, gossiping about the students, then from the nicest teacher to the most feared teacher in the High School section. Soon Dioz came to the class with Rachzi. Then Followed by Vianzo five minutes later. They include themselves in the conversation.
