" How about we help each other?" He says and I look up at him, eyes still wet from the tears streaming down my cheeks, heart freshly broken from the public humiliation and betrayal that was Lucas's breakup. I can faintly make out the first droppings of snow floating magically under the light of the street lamps. It's that time of the year, a time for wool coats, a time for relaxing, none of which I'll be doing. "I'm an orphan with a wicked aunt and a boyfriend who left her because she has nothing to her name, how could I possibly help you?" I say another sob escaping my lips. "Marry me" he replies and my eyes widen in anger. Is he mocking me?. I look into the eyes of this stranger and see he's dead serious. "I need a wife, you need a home, marry me and you'll have all you want". I nod.

"How are you so sure I want you to notice something about the clock?" He says looking at me and I simply shrug my shoulders.

"Wvy then would you ask me if I felt anything when I was near the clock?".

He makes to pinch the bridge of his nose.

"Do you feel anything when you are near the clock?" He says and I nod my head.

You can practically Alice choking on something, you can practically see her choking on the air that she was breathing and I have to feel surprised at this.

"Do you guys not feel the vibrations too?" I say looking at her and Adrian smiles shyly.

"That will be all the questions we'll be asking you today".

Alice is looking at him, she's looking at him panicked and he is looking at her practically telling her to keep shut.

They are both exchanging looks, they're both exchanging looks which I can totally read and I am dsipleased at this.

"You know that if you guys want to keep something secret from me, it is best you don't ask me about it in the first place".

Adrian looks mortified, he looks mortified and he is trying to arrange his thoughts.

"It's not like we don't want you to know about it, it's just that it's not the right time yet".

I have to let this go, I have to let this go because that is exactly what they have been telling me whenever I ask what is happening here, I get the same answer, I get the same answer i always been getting whenever I asked them those questions, it is not the right time, it is not the right time, it is not the right time, I can't tell you I'm worried about those words now, more like bored to death.

I smile as Ercles grips my hand and he pulls me towards something.

I have to be surprised now, i have to be surprised at this because this isn't something that should be real.

This isn't something that you should see in real life and I have to look at my tour guide, tour guides who are looking so surprised and confused at the fact that I know more about this place than they do.

"Did you guys have any monarchy ruling in this particular spot?" I say looking at them and they shake their heads.

I am currently looking at a Sceptre, i am currently looking at a Sceptre, an orb, an orb that all but practically glows golden in the darkness and Adrian is looking surprised at this.

I never thought that they would bring this here.

I feel like shouting triumphant ah ha, i feel like shouting in triumph, telling him that I knew I knew everything around there was weird, I knew that he simply did not want to tell me but yet he too looks genuinely surprised at this point.

"Do you know what it is?" I say looking at Ercles and he nods his head.
