...For The End (Timefur chronicles book 1) Read online

  *-There he is. He doesn’t look like a problem. He looks like a normal innocent person. Why him?

  -Because he’s on the list, and the rules state…

  -That we kill anyone on the list. But it also says we don’t kill anyone unless there’s a reason. So why him?

  -Because he killed someone.

  -That could’ve been someone else.

  -It isn’t.

  A bullet is seen wising through trough the air and the world around it starts collapsing. Virix then sees the bullet and the world around it collapsing. Toya then notices the world collapsing and ask Virix:

  -What’s happening to the dream?

  -It’s destroying the first to make place for the next. DUCK!!

  -Why?

  -There’s a bullet coming and we aren’t its target.

  The bullet is now one or two miles away and the air around makes a certain beat that Glitch remembers. It plays Michael Jackson’s speechless. Glitch then notices the bullet behind Terra.

  -When I count to three duck.

  -Why?

  -There’s a bullet coming, and it’s meant for me. 1.

  -Then say you love me.

  -I love you and that’s something I can never forget. 2. No one can change that, and no one can tell me otherwise. Don’t leave me my love. 3. Record the beginning for the end.

  Terra then ducks and watches her mate die again. And Glitch falls. Then the dream collapses, for the next one, around the dead Timefur.

  In the real world Paradox has controlled reality, transformed all of the earth’s greatest creations into a castle in the sky, taken over the earth, and held everyone prisoner. From the main tower he sits staring into the sands of time, watching as the daleks revive his brother.

  Meanwhile the dream state has finished rebuilding itself reveling a house by the ocean but away from the world. Glitch then walks to the beach that surrounds his new house. Terra walks behind him and says:

  -It’s a lovely dream.

  -It’s a reflection of the house I had on Gallifur before it burned down. Is everyone inside?

  -Yes. Why did you choose this place?

  -It felt like a great place for writing.

  They then walk inside the house and stay there for the night. Once inside they see Virix on the phone, but notice the conversation is ending. He then hangs up the phone.

  -That was the publisher. They’re expecting the idea for the next book by tomorrow.

  -Well tell them to add a day.

  Toya then joins the conversation by saying:

  -They won’t agree. Not since last time.

  -Tell them to add a day or I’ll leave. Plus they still owe me for helping them out of bankruptcy. Just one more day.

  Glitch then leaves with Terra following closely behind. They then enter a library and Glitch says:

  -This was my father’s study. Before the war he had an infinite supply of books. He said it was his life’s work to collect all forms of information. He had it all from James Patterson to Jules Vern and every ware in between. He called it the infinite galaxy. That’s why Gallifur was the world it was. Well that was before…

  -Before the war?

  -Before Paradox took over. This was the only place of my house that could’ve survived the war. It was even bigger than the library of congress on earth. It seemed like a great place for me to remember everything.

  -Would it even have an astronomer’s tale?

  -This place had harry potter before j.k. was even born.

  Terra then runs to find the book as Glitch sits at a computer to regain his memories.

  It was around midnight and almost everyone was asleep except Glitch who had just found a way to stop Paradox. He then reached for a microphone that was right next to the computer and says:

  -Emergency! Everyone to the infinite galaxy!

  In a little less than an hour later everyone was in the infinite galaxy around the computer where glitch had sat at all night. Toya yawns then asks him:

  -Why did you call us here? Its 1:30 in the morning.

  -This is important. I’ve found a way to defeat Paradox.

  Terra then asks him:

  -Other than the elements?

  -Yes. It says here that there are two ways to kill a Timefur. One is the elements. The other is a clockwork cutlass forged from the sharpest metal in the galaxy: black hole metal.

  Ayden then says:

  -Well that’s good because that’s the weapon we ended making.

  Virix then tells everyone:

  -Well now we know how we’re going to stop Paradox. Now everyone get some sleep, even you Glitch. I’ve seen you without sleep. That’s one of the reasons we’re in this mess. Plus you’ll need it.

  -Alright. Let’s get some sleep. We’ll need it tomorrow.

  They all woke up around noon. Glitch, who was still asleep, was now late for his meeting. Toya then walks into his room to wake him up.

  -Glitch?… Glitch, god, we don’t have time for this.

  -Just leave me be.

  -Ok, but you’re gonna have to explain to the publishers why you’re late for the meeting.

  Glitch then jumps up realizing that he’s late. Toya then smiles at his work and leaves to meet Virix the hallway and asks him:

  -How long tell he finds out he’s not late?

  -5 maybe 10 minutes. By then we’d be on the plane and he’d be asleep again.

  Half an hour later and they’re on a plane to New York. Glitch then asks Virix:

  -Why did you get me up early?

  -Because you always dose off in the plane.

  Glitch then doses off and Virix leaves and sits with Terra. She then asks him:

  -How is he doing?

  -Other than being asleep he’s fine. He seems like he’s remembered everything. The only thing now is for him to die again and we can leave.

  Terra looks upset, and Virix asks her:

  -What if he forgets me?

  -Remember what he told you last dream state? That he loves you and he can’t forget that, and Paradox, or daleks, or even rabid ood can’t stop that. He loves Terra and he always will.

  She then smiles and looks out the window.

  Once they arrive in New York they take a cab to the publishers building. In the elevator to the conference room Virix feels shifty. Glitch asks him:

  -What’s wrong V?

  -Something bad is going to happen. We shouldn’t be here.

  Terra then asks:

  -Bad how?

  -Bad as in Paradox is in the dream.

  Virix then pulls out his gun and points it at the emergency exit in the elevator and fires it. Ayden then asks Glitch:

  -How would he know that?

  -His senses have been tweaked because he’s been with me for five hundred years.

  Everyone then crawls out of the emergency exit and stands on the elevator. Ayden then asks:

  -Won’t Paradox find us?

  -I know exactly where to hide then.

  Glitch says then turns to Terra and tells her:

  -Terra this isn’t the end. I love you and I can’t change that. We can hide from this world at the edge of infinity. There we can make our own world.

  -Then let’s start running.

  She says pulling the group off the edge and into the next dream.

  Glitch and the rest of the gang appear falling onto a planet with a red sky, futuristic buildings covered with domes, and a river the size of Manhattan. They then land in the river untouched with the exception of a few minor scars. They then swim to shore and then Glitch says:

  -We’re on my reflection of Gallifur. Give the water a minute to kick in. It’s youth water.

  Toya then asks:

  -Youth water?

  -The fountain of youth had to come from somewhere. Don’t worry it wasn’t a big doze so we should be fine. Come on, I have a great hiding place.

  Paradox, who was still in the publishers building, is now looking for his brother.

  -Where
is he?

  -The scanners say he’s no longer on the planet.

  -Reddy my gun. I will kill again!

  Back on Gallifur, in dark and hidden remains of the infinite galaxy, Glitch, Terra, Virix, Toya, Ayden, and Onix hide from Paradox and the Timefurs in his control. Ayden then asks:

  -What now? Won’t Paradox find us?

  -He’ll think this place is destroyed so for now we’re safe. But we should split up so it’s harder for him to find us.

  Half an hour later and there is screaming from the historical fiction section. Everyone then runs to see a pile of books on the floor of the room then the pile moves. Glitch and Virix then run to the pile and start moving books. Once visible, they pull Terra out of the pile. She then says:

  -Thanks guys.

  -No problem. What happened?

  -Well I was grabbing for a book and the whole shelf came.

  -Are you alright?

  -I am, but I don’t know about that pile.

  -It might be best for everyone to me with someone else. Just in case.

  Ayden then asks:

  -Are you just saying that to get alone with Terra?

  -Why does that matter? I just think it would… help.

  -Alright we’ll leave you guys alone.

  Once they leave Terra then tells Glitch:

  -That was rude.

  -Well that’s Ayden for you. She’s half rude, half nice. Hey you need help putting these books up?

  -Not really, but it would be nice to have an extra pair of hands.

  Paradox then appears on the planet with a gun in one hand and a blade in the other. He then speaks into a walkie-talkie and says:

  -I’m on the planet and I know exactly where he’ll be hiding.

  Virix senses him and runs to the historical fiction room with everyone running behind him. Glitch then jumps up when he enters the room. Virix then says:

  -Paradox found us and he armed and waiting for us.

  -If he’s looking for a fight then let’s give him one.

  There is then an explosion creating a hole in the wall and making a ring of fire around Paradox who has entered the
