I know for a fact that Adam exists here the problem is where. If I had to make a guess I would say the void but Little Me doesn''t want to go there for some reason and I don''t know how to change that. Maybe someway somehow I can squeeze the answers out of her. I need to force myself out of that mindset. We agreed to trust each other. I don''t need to force answers out of her anymore I can just ask. I asked her "Hey Racheal why didn''t you want to go into the void." She just walked away and said "I told you already, tripping is not my strong suit." I sighed and thought to myself what is so problematic about the void and why can''t she just tell me these things? Right now that''s not my problem. I can find out later what I should focus on is Adam. I could ask Little Me for answers but if she won''t tell me about the void how much is she actually hiding from me?
It''s ok I have the right to ask even if she is wrong what''s the worst that can actually happen. I thought about it for a bit and realized that anything can happen. I know nothing about this place or her if I really thought about the worst case serrano who knows where I''ll be. I snap myself out of it. I''m just being paranoid. Now is no time for doubts. I can trust her, I just need to ask. I asked her "So where should we look first." She put her hand on her chin and after a bit she turned to me and said "The first place we should look is probably Adam''s house."
I couldn''t believe my ears. Did she just say Adam''s house, a place like that really exists here? It has to, there''s no reason why she would mention that if it didn''t. I ask her about how we get there and she just signals to follow. This is it no more walking around aimlessly I finally have someone else like me to talk to. I took a deep breath and told myself I can''t get too excited just yet I still have no guarantee if what she''s saying is true.
While we were walking I decided to analyze our setting a little bit more. I look down at the white circle. I can see 1 line and I can barely see another but it''s safe to assume there''s more. While looking at one of the lines I saw something I never thought I''d see in a long time. It was another person I don''t know why but it reminded me of Little Me could they be the same species? I could just ask her about this right? Well no harm in trying. I asked "Hey who is that?" She looked at me and said "it''s one of the 12. We will get to Adam''s house through him." The 12? It just hit me. I can''t believe it took me this long to figure out where standing on a giant clock this place was called the Land of Time I should have figured. We reach the thing and Little Me puts something in there hand and says the phrase "take us to the real world." The ground crumbled beneath my feet and the sky turned into pitch black I didn''t know why but this felt very familiar.
I woke up in the city of Los Angeles. I look around and the busy street is stopped right in its tracks, completely frozen in a moment in time. It didn''t feel real, the loud and fast city turned into silent and still one. Adam''s house I know it''s around here I stopped by him so many times that I remember his address by heart. Before I got too excited I decided to relax myself for a little bit. There''s no guaranteed Adam''s there, it''s only a possibility but still even when I tried I couldn''t stop myself from getting excited he could be right around the corner. We arrived at Adam''s house. I opened the door and called out his name hoping for a response but there was still the same silence. We checked every room but he was nowhere to be found.This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
I knew I shouldn''t have gotten my hopes up. I mean why would Adam be here in the first place. I thought about it for a little longer. Why would Adam be here in the first place? If he''s just like me he should have no knowledge of the real world much less how to get there. Why would Little Me suggest this place at all? What is she hiding from me? I need to calm down. I''m getting too skeptical of her. She is just trying to help plus the fact I know the real world exists is a big bonus. It does bother me though a little test wouldn''t hurt. I ask her "Adam, not here. Where else should we check?" She puts her hand on her chin and thinks for a bit and says "We should head back to the Land of Time, I''ll think of something when I get there."
Back to square one it does make sense to go back there. I need a real answer before I can start making conclusions. Little Me takes something out of her pocket and says "Take us back to the Land of Time." The ground crumbles again and I remember that familiar feeling. I try to think about what this feeling was connected to and why it feels so familiar. I couldn''t remember it just stayed as some weird feeling.
I wake up back in the Land of Time. I should probably ask Little Me where to look next but I don''t think I can exactly blindly trust her anymore. I want to test her but I don''t have the resources to. It''s like I''m still in that choke hold from our fight. What can I do right now? I have nothing but her. I worked so hard to keep her as a resource and it backfired greatly.
It''s fine I just need to ask for Adam''s location. Depending on what she says I''ll know whether to abandon her or not. So I asked, "So where to next?" She puts her hand on her chin thinking. I hate this I thought just cause she was a younger version of me I''d be able read her like a book but she''s unpredictable she knows so much. She finally says "I don''t know what you think." Is she honest or is she just trying to set me up? I can''t prove anything even if I could what am I supposed to do without her.
She''s got me in a choke grip from the very start. I need to find Adam if where both are on the same side he can free me from this choke hold. If it''s the two of us we wouldn''t need her help at all. Where would Adam be he would probably be somewhere familiar but familiar doesn''t exist here as far as I''m concerned. There is a possibility though I ask Little Me "Is there someplace that both the Land of Time and the real world have." She put her hand on her chin and her eye lit up "There''s a hospital in the Land of Time he could be there." A hospital that is perfect I can see Adam being there but more importantly a hospital means these creatures can get hurt and potentially die. If I really needed to I could kill Little Me.
We walk into the hospital and I look around. Then from my left I hear someone shout "We need a doctor in 1242." I turn to see who it is I couldn''t quite get a glimpse of the person before someone else shouted "I''m on it." The person was surprisingly close; he wasn''t more than a couple meters away. I saw him turn to someone and tell them "Watch closely you''re going to see an operation first hand." I checked to see who he was talking to. It was a very familiar face. The face I been searching for this whole I had finally found Adam.
