Timespell Excerpt: Julia
The
teacher went on. Julia tried to stay awake, but it was like the woman
spoke
in a hypnotic voice on purpose. She could practically hear
her
saying, “You’re getting sleepy … very,
very sleepy.”
“Julia
Corona,” Mrs. Ramirez snapped. Julia straightened
again,
forcing her eyes wide open. “Name a victim of the Reign
of
Terror. Now.”
“Right.”
Crap. Mrs. Ramirez really had it in for her today.
She
flipped back a page in her textbook. “A victim,” she repeated.
“There
were so very, very many. Sad times …,” she trailed off.
Mrs.
Ramirez crossed her arms.
Julia
chewed on her lip, scanning a paragraph about the
September
Massacres. The mark on her arm grew warm and she
frowned.
The
page in her history book went blank.
She
blinked. An involuntary sound escaped her throat as the
blank
page began filling in. Word after word, image after image,
shifting
and changing until the page looked nothing like it had
before.
A moment ago it had talked about survivors—Pauline de
Tourzel
and her mother—and the next moment it talked about
their
untimely deaths.
“We’re
waiting.”
She
flipped the page, wondering if being sleepy had made her
hallucinate.
There was no mistaking the warmth flowing from the
mark
on her arm. Her heart pounded as she watched another page
rearrange
itself, entire paragraphs disappearing.
She
slammed the book shut. Mrs. Ramirez narrowed her eyes.
Julia
swallowed. “I—want to remember without looking.”
What
was going on? History was changing, and shutting her book
wouldn’t
stop whatever was happening in the past.
