“Mom, dad, she's awake!” yelled Nat while Sasha started barking anxiously.
No sooner had Nat called for her parents when Mike was in the doorway followed by a beautiful woman who seemed a bit younger than him, but not much.
She approached Sam's bed and sat beside her. She took her hands in hers and started talking slowly and calmly. All this time Sam was wondering how she managed to get out of her husband's device.
“Hello Sam, I'm Diana, Nat's mom. And Mike's wife. They told me you've never seen a car before or a phone. How is that possible?
Where have you come from, Sam?” Diana asked as all three had their eyes on her, waiting for the answer.
She had to tell them the truth, she needed help. All this was too much for her. She took a long deep breath and started.
“It might seem crazy what I am going to tell you, but I assure you, I am not crazy. The situation might be, but not me. Or I hope so. So here it is: I am from this same town, but not this same time…. I was born in 1702 and I am 17 now. But I heard some people in a sort of box saying the year was 2019… This is all I know. I swear it is the truth.” She said crying.
“Wow!” Nat was the first to exclaim it. “You don't look 300 years old… “
“I am not. I am 17” said Sam, still crying.
“What were those monsters that ate those people? Can we still save them?”
Nat couldn’t refrain herself from laughing now.
