I wanted to know about Little Adam if he was even there. If he was he might be a lot more helpful than Little Me and hopefully less annoying too. I asked him

"Hey, have you seen a smaller version of you? I find it weird that it was just me who has one."

"I have seen him. He helped me exit the white void after which I ran away because I didn't trust him. I'm assuming he might still be out there somewhere."

"That's a relief all though there is no use looking for him right now we should keep my focus on Little Me."

"Not necessarily your small version isn't really the most useful. I don't have faith in mine but having her as our only source isn't great. She is still useful and has way more info on this place then we do but she isn't being the most cooperative in telling us."

"Don't worry, I have a plan for that. She's already under control and locked up in our room."

"Great, then we should head home before she gets any ideas."

When I looked at our house I noticed the window to our room was wide open. Little Me must have escaped. How could I be so stupid and forget the window. This is bad who knows where she can be and now I know she's not working with Adam the possibilities are endless. She can have a whole group after us.

I can't panic, I need to focus on the facts. Little Me is gone and she knows our location that all we know for now. The question is what to do about it. Do we chase Little Me down or do we high tail it out of here. I told Adam about her escape. He looked to be in pure terror and fell to his knees. I told him about the two options I had in mind and asked which one he'd pick. He said "It's obvious we're getting out of here. I don't know anything about her and neither do you plus she could be anywhere there's no point."

I know but that leads to the main issue. Neither of us have any knowledge on the land of time and now we lost our only resource but I agree with him we should give up on finding Little Me but We need a new source of info. Where or who could it be. Maybe we should look for Little Adam. He is out there. I thought about it and realized it wouldn't work. It leads to the exact same problem of not knowing where they are. Running is our only option.

I asked Adam, "Hey, how much money do you have." He grabbed something from his pocket and said 300s. Thanks Adam very helpful next time learn to translate that to dollars. He reassured me saying "Transportation here is free and we don't need to eat. We don't need any money if you're thinking of running will be fine." I needed that to be honest I wasn't into the whole running away idea but Adam seems on board and if we were both in I don't see why not.

I tell him that we should leave now. We get our clothes and money just in case we need it when we leave. He smiled and grabbed two suitcases to pack our stuff. I pull my ear to check my internal clock 8:04. I thought of waiting for another bus but it will arrive at 9 and I don't just want to sit down for pretty much an hour. Then Adam came up with an idea he told me "We should go back to the real world for now we know it more then The Land of Time. Will figure out what to do, then will come back to here." I can work with that plan. I remember how to get there from the hospital. We can just walk there it might take us like 35 minutes but it's better than waiting an hour. We began walking to the hospital keeping an eye out for Little Me in case she was headed our direction. After 35 minutes of walking we made it to the hospital.

After this we take a right and head straight for the Glass even if my memory is off the glass is as tall as a skyscraper it would be hard for us to miss. After a while of walking we spotted the hour glass and walked straight towards it till we stepped foot on the massive clock. I look around and see the same little person as before I start walking towards him then Adam grabs my arm. There's no doubt about it, that thing working with Little Me you know that right. Of course I know they are the same species but I don't think they working together. The 12 are probably just thing that keep the world in line. It's a guess for sure but I don't want to run. I'm going to go all in. Somehow we are going to the real world.

He got a little angry then followed me anyway. It was his idea to go there. We don't really have a plan B so I'll take the risk. I get to it and ask to take me to the real world and then he puts out his hand. I completely forgot about that before we were taken. Little Me put something in this thing's hand. I don't even know what it was. Then Adam walked in front and ask "How much money for this trip." The thing replied 100s. That one third of all our money either Adam broke or this is a really expensive trip.

The ground crumbles beneath me once again then I suddenly remember that feeling I'm supposed to remember what it is. Just what was it? The ground is pretty much gone and I'm stuck floating in nothingness. I need to keep conscious as long as possible. This feeling what in the world is it. It's pitch black and I can barely keep my eyes open. I keep wondering and wondering what this feels like. Just a little longer I'm so close just stay awake please.

I caught a glimpse of Adam while my eyes tried their hardest to stay open. Think maybe Adam has something to do with it. The blast to the past project? My mom? The gears were turning but felt rusted just screeching at me to stop thinking. The pieces were so close to coming together it was right there.

I remember my mother and what happened when I saved her then it hit me. It was this exact same feeling I felt the exact same as when I saved my mom. Maybe this is how it feels when you get transported between dimensions. Yeah that's exactly what it feels like. If that's the case, what in the world sent us from The Real World to the land of time the first time this happened?

I couldn't stay awake much later after that I remembered so many things this time around. The pieces were so much more clear I was so close to figuring it all out.
