Trapped In Time Novels & Stories

Fireworks burst in the sky, dazzling and bright. They looked like a perfect family of three, grinning so happily and harmoniously. I used to think that every child had the right to feel a father's love, but fate seemed to mock me. I punched the wall hard, blood streaming from my knuckles. I knelt painfully at the ICU door. I did not believe in any higher beings, but at that moment, I was willing to kneel to every god in the world. It was past 10:00 pm now.

"Are you ready to be enslaved? Yes!" "Leave now! Get away from them! Jump out of that car!" "Calista! Listen to me! Calista!" "No!" Calista screamed as she covered her ears, the scream managed to startle them again, and Eros hit the brakes hard. "Crazy! You want us all dead, Eros!" cursed Damon irritably. "I'm surprised! What's with that girl!" Aresh was not in the mood for this, hoping to reach their base camp soon so he could rest. However, the girl was causing trouble again.

Only pain in her eyes. Composing herself, she shook her head in denial and the attendant left. ‘What lost in Boston remains in Boston.’ With that thought, she flew back to her hometown. From afar, Adam stared out of the floor to ceiling glass window with his both hands dipped each side of his pocket. A plane just flew high above the sky right before his eyes. It appeared distant from where he stood. The plane holds his full attention until it disappears from his line of vision. “Sir, it’s hard to repair. The whole operating system has been crushed by some virus.” The mechanic from the IT department surrenders his hands in the air breaking his trance of thought.

Marcus's Den Alexa’s body was a collection of aches and bruises, but she had promised herself she would not cry. For the first time in her life, she would endure. She clenched her fists, the scars on her skin a painful reminder of the hell she had been pulled back into. She never imagined she would end up here again, in the cold, dank prison beneath the earth. The dungeon, the place where time stood still, where hope was suffocated by despair.

"I love you, Nova. Across all timelines, across all variations of existence, I love you. And I will find you. That's a promise." Before I could argue further, Alden was pushing me into the panic room, and the door was sealing shut. I could hear the sounds of gunfire, of organized assault, of violence contained behind reinforced walls. And then silence. A silence so complete it suggested the world beyond had simply ceased to exist. Hours passed. Maybe days. Time became meaningless in the sealed room with only emergency lighting and the sound of my own heartbeat. I tried every possible escape route and found them all carefully secured. I tried to hack into the security system and found it deli

Breaking apart like reality itself was malfunctioning. Then the screen flashed blood red. [CRITICAL ANOMALY DETECTED] [TIMELINE COLLAPSE ACCELERATING] [ESTIMATED ARRIVAL OF FIRST BLIZZARD: 12 DAYS.] The world inside my chest stopped. Twelve days. Twelve. Not thirty. Not enough time. Not nearly enough. “Nebula, what’s happening?!” I screamed internally. The spirit cat’s emerald eyes blazed inside my consciousness. "The Butterfly Effect!" Nebula hissed frantically. "Your interference is changing the world’s trajectory! The broken merger, Caleb’s involvement, the gala, the ring—everything is accelerating the collapse!"

The gray trash can was sitting right in the middle of it. “Oh my god," I breathed, a genuine smile breaking across my face for the first time in two lifetimes. "It works. It really works. [ Of course it works. Time is frozen inside the storage. Anything you put inside will stay the same forever.] I stood up feeling a lot of energy all of a sudden. I did not have time to sit around and be happy. I had thirty days to get ready for the end of the world. Every second I wasted was one second closer to the end.

‘WELL THEN, SHALL WE LEAD YOU INTO THE GAME OF LOVE AND CHANCES? Asking me with such that for a second I somewhat remember and picture that I am with someone that I found to be the very first person who ever threatened me right. And the one that I needed to be right now, despite my hesitations and fear at first. Yet, I somehow could not remember, as I felt like I am trapped within a place where time itself is distorted. Scenes that are both true and not, where I am still the puppet that they are controlling. ‘YOU DO NOT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING AT ALL AIRA, FOR ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS TRUST US, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS.’

Taking a step toward her room, I was stopped when Trenton wrapped his fingers around my wrist. “One more thing. We need to keep a firm hold on each other. If we let go at any point while the past plays out, you could be lost in time. The only time I don’t need to touch you is when we are in real-time during the past. But that doesn’t mean you can wander off either. Stepping outside of my range could cause you to fall through time and space and there will be no way for me to find you.” My eyes widened at Trenton’s warning. “Now you tell me?” Pulling my wrist from his hand, I quickly grabbed his hand with mine. “This should have been a warning the first time you took me to the past.”

I reminded myself to bounce back into some positivity. Future Valen bit his lip, staring hard into my desperate pleading eyes. He remonstrated gruff and tightly, “Whatever it was, I fixed it. I’ve kept Snow here while you were supposed to stay where you were. But with this gimmick, there’s another ripple in the timeline. There’s no Raina in your time because you left it. The timekeepers know you’ve time-traveled, and they are here for you.” With a haughty toss of his head, he cut his glance from me, sending it to the door behind me. My nerves skyrocketed because something else had gotten his attention.
