The constant chirping of birds made me open my eyes to find a bird sitting in my lap while three others were sitting on my legs.

"Hello there." I smiled and stroked it's head. These birds didn't seem to be afraid of me and continued to gaze at me. I got of the tree to give the birds their place and to find the solution to my problems.

But for now I needed a bath and urgently. I remembered that the place I woke up yesterday had a small stream so i made my way towards it. Finding no one there I quickly got out of my clothes and entered the water.

A sigh of bliss escaped my lips as the cold water met my body. I shivered at it's cold temperature but none the less appreciated it's cleanliness. Not thinking for it to be wise to stay there for long I quickly got out and dressed in another pair of jeans and shirt.

Come to think of it this place looks to be from a medieval time period and if it's true I'll stick out like a sore thumb in my clothes. Most people may faint when put in my situation but crying won't get you anywhere. That was a lesson I learned a long time ago. so rather than crying why not do something productive.

Going back to the town I decided to do some work to earn my keep. A lie here and there was enough to explain my appearance. Hard labour wasn't a new word from me. The work I was given was to bring water from the well that was in the middle of the town and to sell to who ever needed it. Since this town had a large variety of markets so lot people needed water.

I was up for the task for beggars can't be choosers.

Between the conversations I was able to know the year which admittedly gave me a shock. I was back in time in the year 1452. Just suberb. From 2015 to 1452 was quiet a long jump.

By the time the night approached each and every particle of my body was screaming at me. My hair was dirty and I was sweating all over. One of the old ladies had felt pity for me so she gave me some clothes of her grand son.

Running to the stream I stripped of my clothes and jumped in to it. It's coldness soothing my muscles... the little that I had. I am really thin for a boy and hardly have muscles. Also I was short for a boy and with with my long hair anyone could mistake me for a girl.

Washing the filth and grime off my hair and body I got out of the water. Drying myself I held the clothes that the old woman gave me in front of me. They were too big for me but at least it was something.

Making knots here and there to keep them in place I braided my hair and covered it with a spare cloth. It got me in a lot of trouble today so it was best to keep it covered. Going back to the tree that I used yesterday as my bed I soon fell asleep.
