Chapter 55

Chapter 55: It took a few months, but Austin finally readjusted to life in the future. He soon met a girl named Beth, and they quickly hit it off. Soon, they were engaged, and after 2 years of being married, they had a child named Joeseph. The effect of time travel causes the traveler to slowly lose memory of having been to a different time period. That's exactly what happened to Austin. He didn't remember Nick or Amy or Derek or anything from the years he had been in the past. All he knew now was his family.


It had been almost four years since Austin and Derek had come to the future, and Derek was now a 7 year old boy. He was very playful, and after a little brain tapping, he had completely forgotten about his previous life. This was nessecary for the plan to carry out. He couldn't have Derek holding back at all. The man who had taken care of Derek like his own was almost ready for the final part of his plan to commence. He sighed and looked at the face of the boy. He knew what was going to happen too him, and the thought of it almost made him cry. Almost.

"Are you okay Nick?" Calvin asked. "Wait...you know me too?" "Seriously, what is wrong with you?" Calvin got up and put a hand on Nick's forhead, which he quickly brushed away. "What the hell is wrong with you? Don't touch me!" "Nick I'm trying to-" "Hey, just back off okay?" Nick opened the front door and walked out, slamming it shut behind him.

Nick wandered the streets for some time before he was approached by a large man that smelled strongly of sewage. "Um, can I help you?" Nick asked. "Nick, I know what your going through. Come with me and I can make it all better." "Thanks but no thanks. I think I can figure this out on my own." The man stepped in front of him. "Please, I insist." The guy looked serious, so Nick followed him to the manhole cover in the street. "Um...can I at least know your name?" "My name?" the man replied. "Sure. It's Jake, but you can just call me, the Master." The Master? This guy had some serious issues. Whatever the case, Nick felt he had to follow him to find out who he really was.
