Escape part 15

"Was that me in that tree?"
"I guess so," Devorian answered.
"What now?"
"Now we go, I guess."
Devorian held the watch and pressed both buttons. Nothing happened.
"Shit."
"What's wrong?"
Devorian looked at the display on the watch. It was blank.
"What year do you think it is here?" he asked.
The man shrugged. Whatever the year was there wasn't exactly an abundance of convenience stores selling batteries. They were trapped.
The warriors turned and spotted them and began to advance up the hill.
"Leg it!" shouted Devorian as he began to retreat.

The noise was now a loud scream. The man's ears were bleeding.
"DO SOMETHING, DEVORIAN, FOR GOD'S SAKE!"
Dr Devorian was trying to think. They were inside the watch which seemed ridiculous. He put his hand in his pocket and there was still a watch there. How could there be two? He had no idea and he couldn't think of anything to do other than to press the buttons on the watch he was now holding one more time.
The two men landed on the top of a grassy hill, ears ringing and eyes struggling to focus on the new landscape.
Below them in the valley the warriors were charging into the forest. There was something up a tree which interested them.

"What the hell is going on Devorian?"
The doctor didn't answer.
A low humming noise began.
The sound increased in pitch and volume until it was almost unbearable.
"DEVORIAN!" screamed the man.

"Where are you?"
"Over here," answered Dr Devorian.
He could have been standing right next to him or he could have been a million miles away. Sound was peculiar in this place.
"Where are we?"
"It seems we're inside the watch."
"How is that possible."
"I'm trying to figure that out."
At that moment there was a blinding flash of light.

It was pitch black, if not darker.
He felt around and there was nothing. His feet felt like they were in treacle, unable to move.
"Where the hell am I?" he muttered to himself.
He sensed he wasn't alone.
"Hello?" he called out.
Far to his left a voice replied.
"Devorian? Is that you?"

Dr Devorian swore he could hear a voice shouting. He shook his head. He'd been working long hours and was probably just tired.
The faint shouting continued. He thought it sounded like it was coming from his pocket.
He reached in and took out the watch. He held it to his ear. There was definitely a voice coming from inside.
He pressed the two buttons and there was a blinding flash of light.

Unfinished Business

He put down his phone. Was that really the last part of the story? There was so much left to say about it. Maybe there would need to be another part to the saga? He thought about it briefly and then began to type...
