Heather

I was staring at Alex confused and saw two people she was talking to on the screen. I did know the girl who had pigtails in her hair and she look no older than 10.

"Alex, who are they?" I asked.

"Some people that are not from here, but they..." She trailed off as I tilt my head walking up to her.

"Is there something your not telling me? What are you hiding from me, Alex?" I asked.

She sighed and said,"Guys, I'll call you tomorrow."

"Okay. Bye mommy." The little girl waved and so did the man beside her.

Alexandra took me by the hand to let us sit down and talk together.

"Heather, the things that I'm about to tell you may be a joke and its not. Hear me out, I am not from here. I'm from another timeline where I go on missions to assassinate and save people's lives." She said as I nodded slowly as she continued,"Therefore, I came to your timeline because in few years in 1988 you'll...die. It's hard to explain because...its something in your body to cause your death and I only have chance to save you from it."

My jaw dropped as I blink slowly and said, "I-I'm going to die...what happened  after that?"

"I don't know, honey. Your parents and sister were devastated to hear the news of your short passing. That's why I came here to save you like I did with Judith." She croaked.

"Who's Judith?"

"Judith was a young child actress like you. Both of you were born in the 70s and occasionally died the same year. However, Judith's father was the one who killed her in bed when she was asleep so I took the risk to save her."

"What happened?"

"I manage to save her not her mother like I promised. So, I had no choice but to adopt her as my own daughter." She smiled sadly as I leaned my head on your shoulder.

"I see. But, how are you going to keep all of this away from my parents?"

"You can't tell them. They'll think your crazy or something like that. I-I might tell them sooner if the year draws closer."

"Okay. But can I ask you this?"

"What is it?" She asked.

"Whenever you come by and visit my family. You look so sad."

"To tell you the truth...I never had a family after what happened to me when I was around your age."

"What do you mean?"

"When I was 12 years old, my house was set on fire and it was an accident when my parents were burned alive and I survived. After that whole situation happened, I was put in a orphanage to get adopted. I refuse to and my real family not any foster ones." She said holding me close to her to comfort her and continued, "So I ran away and lived in the streets. Eventually, I grew up and started to find a job to earn money and as the years passed I became an assassin to earn more money to support myself."

"Wow..."

"Yeah. You better get to bed so we can spend the day together."

"Okay Alex. Night."

"Night."

I went back to the guest room shutting the door thinking about what Alex said. This was too much information for me to know about myself in the future. I could already tell Alexandra is hesitant to tell both of my parents about what's going to happen to me. She told me not to tell them, but when will she explain it?
