This is a taste of the story I've been working on when Kit goes back in time to ancient egypt. This is the scene where they leave...
“Now, your devices are linked to Kit’s so once she chooses the destination moment you’ll follow her. Good luck,” said Steve. He was worried about them. Kit could see it in his eyes and hear it in his voice. It wasn’t exactly the confidence booster that she needed. She tried not to take a deep breath. She knew if she did that while it would calm her it would only agitate the nerves of her two teammates. She took no measures to still herself and instead pushed on and placed a finger on her neck in the utmost of fake confidence. There was a soft beep that told her it was ready to be programmed.
“Abydos, Egypt, April 17, 5000 BCE, five pm,” said Kit and everything she said appeared, hovering in front of them in large blue lettering. She heard movement behind her and knew that Tyler and Lizzy had joined hands. She read it over quickly and pressed her device hard.
It was nothing like she’d expected. What she had expected was to suddenly be in ancient Egypt. That was not what had happened. It felt like her body was being ripped to pieces, wanting to stay where it was but at the same time being forced back through time. Her neck felt like it was on fire from the device, which seemed to not only heat up but to constrict so that she couldn’t breath. She couldn’t see anything or feel any of her surroundings. Her head pounded fiercely telling her how unnatural these actions were. She felt as if there were thousands of bright lights being shown right through her skull. The pain was horrible. Her insides felt like they were going through a blender while also being electrocuted. It also lasted a lot longer than she had thought, which made the whole ordeal all that much worse.
It ended just abruptly and before Kit could even process that they had arrived at their destination they were all sent flying just by getting there. She landed hard, her back smashing against a stone wall. Then she fell down to the floor in shock. She sat for a second making sure that she hadn’t broken anything before she looked up to find Tyler and Lizzy, who were both in small crumbled messes. She forced herself onto her feet and nearly fell back over. The room around her wasn’t exactly in complete focus yet and she was dizzy enough to be overwhelmed by the sensation that everything was moving.
When she steadied herself she looked around again, finally able to pick up the details of her environment. They were in some kind of empty room, covered in brown dirt and sand. It was made of stone, which was an odd light brown color. There was a doorway off to her right and it was the only way in or out. It let in a small amount of light that illuminated the room she was standing in. She heard Tyler and Lizzy groan and try to move. They failed at first and she stood back and watched them struggle. When they finally made it to their feet they had to lean on the wall. Lizzy the toppled over and vomited on the floor. Kit walked to the door slowly.
“We’re fine, by the way,” said Tyler angrily as he helped Lizzy up.
“Yeah, but I don’t think we’re alone,” said Kit as she peered outside.
