Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Kristi sat as close to the wall of the carriage as she could possibly get. Her arms were crossed as she stared out the window, her face, expressionless. She could feel the eyes of the other members of the carriage on her. She didn't like it. They all knew who she was and they were all unsure about her. They looked at her with suspicious eyes; as if she were some sort of time bomb about to go off at any moment.
She didn't want to be here. She didn't want to go back to that house. She just wanted to turn back time, and not with just a time turner, she wanted to completely turn it back to two years ago and start it over again. Maybe Marcella never would have come into their lives or, maybe this time, her father wouldn't be stupid enough to get physically and emotionally involved with her. Maybe Kristi could have befriended her and told her about who her father was sooner, before they became attached to one another. Or, maybe she could have somehow prevented Darrin from coming under the control of the Dark Lord. If she just hadn't left him... "You protect me... You push me further from Him, Kristi." |
