a Dove's and a Raven's first meeting.
I stood for a few seconds, contemplating if i should go in the cabin or not. The cabin looked like it had been abandoned for a long time due to the rusty and stale condition of the cabin.
Felix
"I should check it out, maybe i could find something inside. A map maybe?"
I pondered to myself before taking steps towards the cabin. Yeah, a map. I could find something better than nothing.
The door is right in front of me, it seems like it was budged open from the outside because the door is busted and is half open.
Felix
'Nothing bad happened in here right?'
Thoughts started to cloud my mind, as my eyebrows narrowed anxiously, my eyes flicking back and forth to the door and the knob.
Felix
'No, its just bad thoughts. Keep it positive, Felix'
I shake my head out of the bad thoughts. I took a deep breath before convincing myself its nothing bad, i straightened myself before going in.
The inside seems to be dim, its also quite dust-covered inside. It seems like it hasn't been left alone for too long since the furniture seems to be in place and still in a good shape, its quite dusty though.
Felix
'Oh, its not that bad. Did the owner left the cabin in a good shape?'
I pondered while looking around the cabin. Its not that small nor that big but spacious and comfy enough for living.
Felix
"i should start looking around."
Anyway, i searched around the cabin. Nothing really useful... A table with already rotten fruits bowl, a messy desk with books clattered around, many decorative on the wall, and a old gramophone.
Felix
"All of the stuff here looks old and senile... What year is this world in?"
But one thing that intrigue me is the bookshelves. Out of all the stuff in here, i like books the most. Probably because i have no entertainment back at my room other than study or story books, a radio with one music tape, and 100 pages of coloring books.
Maybe i am familiar with the gramophone, but there is no vinyl records around so i just went straight to the bookshelves.
Felix
"There are so many books..."
I murmured in awe as i stared at the glorious and big bookshelves filled with books— not really, its dust covered and there is a bunch of spiderwebs clutching on the books. The books seems to be in a not so great shape. It was worn out even from the books covers.
Felix
"Eh, atleast its still intact and not that worn out. I could maybe take a look in one of them."
I shrugged with a small sheepish smile before reaching out for one of the worn out books.
Felix
"Ooo, I wonder what's this book about?"
I murmured out loud in curiosity before opening the book, only for the pages to scatter around me to the grouns. Oh, it seems like it was in an already torn shape.
Felix
"Oops... I didn't think that was gonna happen... Maybe i should just continue looking around..."
I muttered hastily in a hushed tone as if i just killed a person or something as i put the book back to the original spot, i was sort of guilty that i had accidentally made a mess in this cabin. I continued to search around the cabin while mentally apologizing to whoever is up there watching me.
Felix
'Forgive me for breaking something i shouldn't have broken...'
In the end i only managed to find an old pocket watch, it was sort of dirty but still in a good condition and working. Its 1 PM stated on the pocket watch.
Odd that its cold in here but it must've been the weird unknown weather in this world, but at least i managed to caught up with the time in here.
I put the pocket watch in my pocket before my eyes landed on a calendar. I went closer to the calendar.
Monday the 20th of September 1999.
Felix
"Oh, i never thought i was way back in time."
I muttered with raised eyebrows, i wasn't even born yet at that time. Curiosity and wonder bloomed within me.
Felix
"Its currently 2014 back in my timeline... So im 15 years back in time in this universe."
I calculated the years and stuff like that. It was surely odd that... I wasn't even born yet in here.
Even if i were, what would i'd be? What would i look like? Would i still like chicken drumsticks? Or would they like anything else other than that? Maybe something sweet like ice cream? I remember trying them out when the scientists let me have one taste of them, they tasted delicious but somehow it didn't fit with me. Probably because im not used to sweet and cold stuff since the scientists only served me fried chickens with rice and vegetables with fruits. And only water for drinks, they would occasionally give me juices if im behaving well.
Would my other self in here is having the same situation with me?
Felix
"Huff, i should stop thinking nonsense. Mr. Alex wouldn't like me slacking around..."
I shake my head out of the thoughts before continuing to roam around, before my eyes landed on a familiar thing.
Felix
"Ooo! Is that a bike?"
I chimed in curiosity before heading towards the bike that is laid on the yard, i've seen this before. But i never really got to use it or see it in person, they told me how fun it was to use a bike. And im curious to use it!
I eagerly held the bike up and admired it, it looks so awesome even up close! Can i ride it? It seems kind of difficult, but that just made it more cool than ever!
Felix
'I should try it out!'
I thought eagerly as i tried to get on it... But i ended up losing balance and fell to the side with the bike, falling on the right side to the grass with a thud.
Felix
"Oof... I don't think that was a great idea..."
In the end i ended up walking the bike with me through the grass, seems like i have to practice on riding bicycles now. There is a path that lead somewhere, i decided to follow the path since i have no idea on where to go after all.
The bike it sort of heavy and i almost toppled down a few times along the way especially in the grassy hill ground, but im fine nonetheless.
Felix
"HUFF! This bike is so heavy! Why are they heavy anyway??"
I complained as i tried to stand up with the bike before stopping to rest a little and then continuing on my journey. Maybe its because of my physique or maybe the bike is just too big for my size.
Felix
"Why is this bike so big anyway? My height is literally not that average for my age!"
Its been 30 minutes since i've been walking. I've seen a few things along the way of my journey. I found cats, many beautiful flower field, a river with fishes, and more. The scenery around here is beautiful and calming.
Felix
"Im getting tired..."
I murmured as i keep walking along the path, so far i've found no village or city. I was getting hopeless each second, but i keep it positive.
Felix
"Yeah, just keep it positive."
I chanted through hushed murmurs, yeah just keep it positive. And infact, my hope did actually give me a good result. Because not much longer, a small town appeared after i finished hiking a small hill!
Felix
"Oh! Oh! A town! Thank you!"
I beamed happily in relief, in fact i was so happy that i lost my balance and ended up tumbling down the small hill with the bike beside me.
I winced in pain as i sat up, i felt my knee hurting. Great, i got a scraped knee. I should've been careful earlier, a bad idea to celebrate over a hill.
Felix
"I guess im okay and that's good. And also i found a small town, that's a plus!"
I rejoiced before standing up and dusting myself, i turned to my bike and headed for the town waiting for me with eager!
I roamed around the small town, its lively and quite strong with sense of community due to how many residents seem to interact with almost each other dearly. The small town is also located near a forest and a beach.
The residents seem content in here, which isn't wrong because the scenery and atmosphere around the small town is actually relaxing and lively. I saw a few people walking along the sidewalk as they chattered with each other, a few people seems to also mind their business in the small park near the store i was beside, and a few children playing tag with each other.
Felix
"They all seems so happy and peaceful, i wonder is this how the people outside do?..."
I was snapped out of my trains of thoughts when few people greeted me along the way, i honestly seems confused at first but i greeted them back. I have to say, the residents here were kind and nice. I already like it here.
There is even an old lady sitting outside an antique store who gave me candies, i smiled at the lady before continuing to explore this small yet lovely town around.
Felix
"She was nice and sweet, maybe i could visit her again later!"
I mumbled happily as i carried the candies with me— before the bike beside me lost its balance and falling right on me, since the bike is so big and heavy.
The weight of the bike is heavy that i instinctively topple over and then i land on a tangle of limbs on the road with the bike on top of me.
My wrapped candies got thrown around to different directions as it scattered around, but one caught my eyes before landing on the side of someone’s shoes a few meters away from where im embarrassingly fallen over...
My eyes followed the candy that is now being picked up by a boy around my age, and we lock eyes with each other. He's staring at me with an unreadable expression, he's taller than me with brown tousled hair and caramel eyes that is darker than mine... And perhaps more intimidating than mine. Im guessing my golden hair is messy and weird, huh..?
An awkward silence passed between us before i chuckled embarrassingly because he had to see me in such state like this, and he is not even saying anything and staring at me like that! With a nervous and awkward smile, i muster up one shaky word.
