Tangled In Time Novels & Stories

His hesitantly brings his fingers to my tattoo, his touch ghosting over my skin. I scrutinize the tattooed letters on his fingers. A, M, L, R, O. They don't spell anything but here I am, telling myself that they probably stand for something. He's barely touching me but my entire body is on fire, I want his touch so bad it hurts my chest. I feel like I'm trapped in a small box and I can't breathe or move or think. Our eyes lock and I realize that we're both panting, chests heaving, fucking electrifying.

I whispered. Tears slipped down again, slower this time. “I did.” Zara softened again, her voice gentle. “Then why keep going? Why keep hurting?” I shook my head weakly. “Because it’s too late.” “It’s never too late,” she said. I let out a hollow laugh. “You don’t understand… if I go back now… everything collapses. Frank’s plans. The truth. Everything.” “Do you even know the full truth?” she asked suddenly. “What?”

The Reconciliation’s touch reaches me and I feel time starting to reverse, feel myself being pulled backward through moments toward the instant when reality was restructured. “Plant it fast,” Sera screams as I start to fade. And I’m falling backward through time while holding a seed made of cosmic law, racing toward a moment that might save everything or erase me from existence, with seconds to succeed and eternity to fail. The Reconciliation laughs as it drags me toward my own paradox. And I close my fist around the seed and hope it’s enough.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

He asked calmly. "There is what you call 'give' and 'take' which means you cannot change time without having an effect. I had tampered with nature and in doing so, I tampered with the lives of these humans. While I altered time, the last two people you met and what happened with them were affected and so were many others. You confronted Jade and Lydia and so they turned out to be rivals even though they weren't before and Jade who disliked you liked you. The effect of tampering with time was that most humans will do the opposite of what they are not," The moon goddess expatiates.

Time doesn’t pay that any mind. “Being Alden’s mate, you mean a lot to my plan. I didn’t bet on you being so stubborn, however, what use would you be if you served only one purpose,” Time tells me, leaning back in his chair. I eye him, wishing I could see into his head to find out why he is as evil as he is. “What do you want with me?” I question. The sooner I deal with this, the sooner I can go back to the mortal lands. Sitting in between timelines like this makes me brain hazy, as if it can’t quite make sense of what is going on.

The Red Scar looked like a wound carved into the earth itself. No birds flew here. No sound beyond the occasional hum of wind. Trees were petrified—twisted into skeletal spires. Charred roots jutted from cracked soil like bones. The scent of ash was not fresh, but eternal. Time itself had warped in this place. Caine dismounted first, runes blazing faintly along his hands. “The air is folding. Time's crooked here. You’ll feel... stretched.” “Like walking through someone else’s memory,” Mira added.

I left their presence and went to a corner to think. Why did life have to be so unfair toward me? The image of my mother tied down and a gun pointed at her face was all that was etched in my mind. My heart ached and longed for her. If anything happens to her, I won't forgive myself and my father was going down for it. I wish I could turn back the hands of time. Even if I went back in time, what could I possibly have done? I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see who it was. It was Celeste.

~05~ Chiara "Have you ordered anything yet?" I teased. "You are late. You kept me waiting for half an hour." His frown deepened. "Okay, I'm sorry but I don't have a clock tied on my back so I cannot control time," I replied, pulling the chair and sitting down.

That didn’t mean he wasn’t pleased with the new skill he had unlocked. Time Encapsulation: Time Encapsulation is a skill that allows the user to blend one time skill with another. With Time Encapsulation, the user it temporarily entitled by the time elements to do as he sees fit with them, allowing him to employ the use of several time skills without having to give up one for the other. By coating the user with the time laws, the user can and will be able to use multiple Time Glows and Breaths. This skill has been lost to time and is only possessed by few. Rejoice young Supreme. For you are now one of the mighty few who possess this grievously exaggerated power.

I said gasping in awe. He chuckled a bit before ruffling my neatly set hair. I frowned at him and set my hair again properly in a high pony. I have a natural caramel balayage hair. It is a mix of caramel, honey and black hair. He pulled my hair-tie out and secured it around his wrist. I frowned at him but he just chuckled and tucked a lose strand of my hair behind my ear and placed a pin in my hair to keep it from falling back on to my face. I pouted and looked away but I smiled touching the pin in my hair. Someone cleared their throat and I looked up to see Rowan standing there with his hands crossed over his chest making his biceps bulge and his black Henley shirt is not doing any justice
