Colby's POV

When I got out of the elevator I looked around, realizing I wasn't on the first floor. "Wait, did we mess up?" I asked then turned to look at the guys and Violet. My heart stopped when I looked back to see an empty elevator.

"Guys?! It's not funny. Don't fuck with me like this." I said then started walking down the hallway, hoping they were hiding somewhere.

"I'm serious!" I yelled as someone opened one of the doors that was in the hallway. A woman who looked like she belonged in the twenties opened the door and peered out. She looked at me like I was crazy then huffed. "Please be quiet. I'm trying to get beauty sleep." She said then backed into the room and slammed the door.

What the fuck?

"Violet? Guys?" I called out quieter this time. "Elizabeth!" A man whispered yelled as he peered his head out of a room at the end of the hallway. "I'm coming dear!" A woman said from behind me with a giggle as she brushed passed me.

A chill ran down my spine as the realization hit.

I wasn't in 2020 anymore...the elevator game worked.

My heart leaped out of my chest at the thought of being alone right now. The others had to be around here somewhere right?

"Okay...just go down to the lobby..maybe they are there." I said to myself then went to the elevator. I was really tripped out because everything looked the exact same as before, except for the people.

Was I seeing ghosts or was I just hallucinating. I surely had to be hallucinating...there was no way this was real.

I took deep breaths as the elevator descended to the lobby. I kept praying that when the door opened I would be in present time with the guys and Violet. I prayed that this was the end of the crazy.

When the doors opened I felt my heart drop when I saw the fashion of the people in the lobby. They were all dressed in old garb, not in present day clothes.

I tried to keep calm as I searched through the crowd, hoping to see any of my friends. I let my eyes fall on every person, taking in their features, but didn't recognize anyone until I saw a ravenhaired girl in the corner of the room.

I could only see the back of her but I could recognize that body from a mile away.

"Violet!" I called out then ran to her. When I got close enough I pulled at her shoulder so she would face me. When she turned around she looked at me with confusion plastered on her face.

"Can I help you?" She asked with confusion lacing her tone. "Violet...it's Colby.." I said and took in her features. Her face looked the exact same, but her makeup was done to perfection. Her freckles were covered, giving her skin a porcelain quality. Her plump lips were a deep red color and her hair was in an updo.

"My name isn't Violet..I'm Rose.." She said and looked down at my hands which were holding hers. "If you want to touch me you have to pay." She said then pulled her hand back.

"O-oh." I said as I shoved my hands in my pockets. "Um..can you tell me what year it is?" I asked as she chuckled and reached into her bag so she could reapply her lipstick.

"What do I look like? A newspaper? Now scram, unless you're going to be my next customer." She said then undid the top buttons of her coat as I swallowed hard.
