"My toes are your toes," I pointed out.

"Well, sure, but neither did anyone visit me when I was you, but of course younger, so I can probably harm you. Shut your mouth and listen." He started...

[Ayesha]

"I am looking for my-well, I suppose she's our- sister."
"You mean, Runa?"
"Yes," he said, eager to continue now that we had begun talking business. "Runa invented the machine we use to create portals in the space time continuum, but she disappeared whilst testing it. Location history states that she travelled back here, particularly to your house."
"Is this a joke?!" I lashed out.
His eyes widened. "Why are y-"
"RUNA'S BEEN DEAD FOR OVER A YEAR!"

((ok that was a shock Ry that end sentence. You basically made the whole story so much more interesting.))

"Are you crazy?! He was baffled.
I think I was going to be crazy like him when I grew up. I didn't even sign-up for all this. I thought about it for a while. What if it was true? What is all that he was saying was true and Runa was not-...
His thoughts were interrupted when the thud was heard again loud and clear this time and he knew something was wrong. Probably the person standing here was not from the future and he was just assigned the task of diverting his attention from his mom so they could get her. No, this can't be. Some people had surely come to their house asking for his mom, but no nothing could happen to his mom. He tried to think, to come up with a plan, but his mind was all blank.

[Ayesha]

Everything else happened in a blur; I bolted towards the door, he lunged for me, and the impact sent us tumbling to the floor.
"GET OFF ME!" I yelled, trying to wrestle him off me.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, RUNA'S DEAD?!" he yelled back, pinning me to the floor.

[[deleted user]]

"DON'T YOU KNOW?! YOU ARE MY FUCKING FUTURE SELF. YOU SHOULD KNOW!!! I tried to loosen his grip. I wanted to get Mom as fast as I can. If anything happened to her, I would be responsible. I had to get going...

[Ayesha]

His grip tightened around my throat, eyes burning with cold, murderous fury.
"You killed her, didn't you?"

[[deleted user]]

"WHAT THE-" I coughed, he was cutting my air supply.
He let go.
"Hell", I completed.
"Why would I kill her DUMB-ASS!!"

[[deleted user]]

"She was taken last year by a gang. They demanded a ransom. A ransom we did not have. We were working with the police when we got the video...they tortured her. Cut out her tongue and her fingers before putting her neck around a noose. AND YOU DARE TO IMPLY IT WAS ME."

I was shaking with anger. I pushed myself up from the floor, grabbed my future self by his neck and threw him against the wall.

"I THINK YOU have some explaining to to do.

[[deleted user]]

I suddenly remembered my mom. She was the only one I had left. My dad had died in a bridge car accident, two months after Runa was killed. He was on the bridge with some other people just when the bridge collapsed. I had to go find her, but I needed to find out what the matter was here. If there was any chance I could-

Someone grabbed me from behind, my future self pushed me against a wall.

"cool power i got isn't it? yeah i just sent that memory your way... help your memory????"

[Ayesha]

"Here's the thing: Runa can not be dead."
As unnerving as the abilities of this future me were, I was curious to know what role my dead sister had to play in my future madness.
"She can not die," he muttered again, more to himself than to anyone else, "if not by my hand."

[[deleted user]]

"So you were planning to kill her, huh?!" It seemed like I had caught him off-guard

[Ayesha]

"Yes," he said, slow and cautious, eyes focusing as if seeing me for the first time. He was wary of me.
"Why?"
"You would, too, if your sister was the reason you ended up in jail."
"WHY DO WE END UP IN JAIL?!"

[[deleted user]]

"Because Runa gave me in to the police when she found out my secret. She gave me in to the police to die rather than helping me. They were going to hang me and I somehow escaped and came here, to kill Runa, so that my past would change and I would be able to continue what I was doing to change the world for the better."

Seriously speaking, this person can't be me.

[Ayesha]

"And I'm supposed to believe that?"
"Why wouldn't you believe yourself?"
"One: you're shady as fuck. Two: you ran after me with a knife, and threatened to cut off my toes. Three: you're looking for a dead person only to kill them again. Four: You say we end up in prison. Do you want the rest of the list?"
He huffed angrily. "No need," he sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.

[[deleted user]]

"Stick your bloody trick up your nose and let me leave now!"
There were tears in both of our eyes. I was terrified about my mom and this psychopath and his I don't know; to melt my heart? I wondered.

"I never knew so much would happen to me just to complete the project I've been working on for the betterment of the society." he sobbed.

[Ayesha]

"Oh, don't bother with that one. You'll fail either way." He said that with such casual indifference he might have been commenting on the weather.
"We what?"
"We failed that assignment." He sighed. "You're rather slow, aren't you?"

[[deleted user]]

"I-I don't understand", he said, baffled by his behavior.

[Ayesha]

"Yes, that's what I said."
I opened my mouth, unsure of what I was going to say, but he silenced me by speaking.
" I want to kill Runa, but you say she's been dead for over a year. However, I have seen her-with my own two eyes at that- in the future, creating a time machine of sorts and coming here. Do you get what I'm saying?"
"You're saying Runa-"
"-faked her death, yes. She's toying with us, and she's here because she wants something."

[[deleted user]]

"You might not believe me at this moment, but once you see it, you will realize you were trusting the wrong person."
"What are you going to show me and where?"
"Shut your mouth and follow me."
He was going to argue, but kept his mouth shut. If he were to find out what this man was up to, he had to play smart.
