lost in time

I woke up in a clearing surrounded by massive trees that reached for the blue sky above the air here smelled so fresh and clean. My head felt foggy as I tried to make sense of my surroundings last thing I remember was being at the cemetery, but how did I get here….where was here? I didnt recognize anything about this place! Pushing my way through the wood I finally came to the end of the trees. Looking around I could kind of tell that I was still on seirína but why did it look so different its almost how one would have expected it too look back in the 1500s, but thats insane right? I spotted some people near a stream that cuts through to the ocean. Hidden behind a tree I watched them….a group of women that looked like they were doing laundry in the river. Oh my head ached trying to figure out what was happening because they sure weren't dress like any woman i've meet before. They wore long dresses that touched the ground, and aprons wrapped around there waist. I pulled out my cellphone to call my parents to figure out where they were. To my suprise though there wasn't any service 'oh thats just great' i thought. I closed my eyes trying to think really hard about what could have happened. Sighing to myself I slowly opened my eyes not able to make sense of any of these until I saw her the girl from the portrait. She was walking to the river with a basket of laundry balanced on her hip and carring another basket i assume was full of food. She even more beautiful that the painter gave her credit for. Her hair fell just below her butt jet black curls bounce everywhere the only thing holding it back was a piece of cloth tied around her head. She wore a long flowy dress that kinda reminded me of the sea with the blueish- green fabric moving in the wind she had to be about 5 ft tall going aound bare foot I'm not sure why but I couldn't help but giggled to myself like I was having a flashback of an event that involves an issue about shoes. Entranced by her beauty I didnt realize that someone had spotted me. Frozen to my spot my mind screamed for me to run but my body didn't respond soon the person who saw me was inches from me looking at me like I was some kind of alian. Their eyed me up and down and it clicked in my head 'oh shit' I thought 'my clothes aren't from this time period of course they're looking at me crazy' I cleared my throat befor speaking " hi..er hello my name is sean im a travler from overseas and my ship wreaked" ' yeah that sounds believable' I encouraged myself to continue silently "and I was stranded of a day or two until founding my way to the far side of the island and wandered over here I'm very sorry for desturbing y'all" I hoped she believe because I don't know what'll happen if they think I'm a witch or something. Thankfully she looked satisfied with my story and finally spoke " why look at ye sonny boy ye look half starved come with me" she looked back at the other women and yelled "looky at what i caught" she grabbed my arm with a suprisingly strong grip and pulling me too the others. I must've looked horrible because they all gasped when they saw me Callie's eyes were so wide and her hands covered her mouth when she asked "what happened to him?" I looked down at my clothes my shirt was stained with grass and dirt with a big ass hole on the sided my already ripped jeans were now ripped even more though there was so much mud caked to them that you couldnt really tell and I can only imagine what my face looks like. The lady who found me finished telling them of my horrific tale all the while the ladys were looking at me with pity and after all was said and done they had all decided to take me home with them. I tried to refuse but they weren't hearing it. With a sigh I had no choice but to agree to go with them because honestly I'm sure that if I hadn't they would have just dragged me there. Walking home with them I learned alot. Like the woman who found me was Callie's mother but Callie was only the youngest daughter she also had Alice who was a tall thin quiet lady she wore her mouse brown hair in a tight bun she wasnt a particularly pretty girl definitely nothing compared to Callie but she was had some nice features like her eyes were a deep blue almost like shimmery lake and she has really full lips 'she must look like her father' I concluded in my head. Callie resembles her mother much more they have the same hair even though her mom's hair is now streaked with gray she has the same smiling eyes tho. I imagine in her younger years she was a heartbreaker. The other two ladies also happened to be callie's older sisters they introduced themselves as Iris and Sofia. They're twins almost identical except for their hair Iris has golden hair almost like the sun and Sofia's hair is the color of night with a natural blue tint to it. It's like they're night and day though they have the same forest green eyes with just a few golden brown flakes close their pupils. They look so pretty, like dolls.

After walking for about four miles we made it to their home its hard to believe that I was just here a few hours ago but the house looked so different. Instead of a ton of vineyards all around there were fields some with horses and cattle and others with different fruits and vegetables. The house that I was getting pushed to was a simple three story farm house with a wrap around porch painted white with a red trim. They shoved me through the front door giggling and chatting all at once. Hearing the commotion Callie's dad walks into the walkway smiling wide at his wife looking very much in love as he heads straight towards her not even noticing me standing next to them pulling her into and warm embrace he kissed her passionately like there was nobody else in the room. After a good minute of enjoying his wife's kisses he pulled away finally noticing a addition to the group he looked from he to his wife laughing loudly "I see you decided to bring home a stray rose" turning to me he said "whats ye name boy" process his question took me a second my mind was still wirling with what was happening to me i stammer out "Sean....er Sean Riva". He looked at me with pity and in a soft voice asked "what happen' to ye son ye look like you've been runn' from the devil 'emself" I went to tell him what I had told his wife but before I could she cut me off "will have time for that later Samuel what the boy needs now is a hot bath and a harty meal then I'll let 'im tell ye what happen" giving him that try to tell me no look he held his hand up in defeat chuckling because he already know not to defy his wife 'my god help this poor boy whose gotten caught in my wife's grasp he'll need it' Samuel thought to himself.

After a good scrub I finally got all the mud off of me. I'm not even sure how I even got mud in some of those places. I picked up the clothes they had left out it probably was some of samuels I made a mental not to thank him as soon as I could. For the first time in my life I really appreciated the fact that I'm a dude and not a chick even tho I've never really wanted to be a girl but I had to admit that in my time they had some perks guys just don't have, but in this time guys had the best perks the most relevant one at the moment was the clothing that what made me thankful at least because I couldn't wear those dresses atleast I get pants. Feeling my stomach eating away at itself I hurried up and finish getting dressed. I walked down the stairs letting my nose lead the way everything smelled amazing. When I walked in the room I didn't even get a chance to say hello before I was pushed onto a bench at the table and almost instantly had a hot plate of food infront of me. It maybe took me four bits to eat it all. When I finished my forth plate I looked up and noticed Callie was standing behind me watching me eat looking behind me I smirked "is everything ok with you? I could help but notice you staring is there anything I can help you with?" letting her know I wasn't trying to be rude I winked at her. Blushing she stammered "I....I was wondering if ye would like me to show ye around the land its quiet beautiful." God shes so beautiful when shes embarrassed. I reached out and grabbed her hand letting her direct me outside.
