The Woman in the Painting

Though the woman gives Celise a feeling that's she might've seen before she ditched the idea and continue to look for some clies on how she could go back in the present time...

Celise then decided to leave a note and head out to the nearest library she could find, on the way there a girl bumped into her "Ouch! watch where you're going!" the girl rubbed her hand and looked at Celise in astonishment "I'm sorry I didn't mean to bump into you... I'm Celise and you are?.." the girl shurgged, Celise looked at her she seems to be around sixteen years old judging from her appearance she's petite with a curly short hair "I'm Delia.. what are you looking at? " Celise shyly went back to realization "oh I'm sorry my mind went off a bit" the girl walked away "well, whatever! I gotta go, a girl needs to work around here" Delia grabbed her things and walked away, Celise can't shake off that strange feeling about that girl..

a few hours have passed and Celise arrived at the local library, but she was unable to find what she was looking for, the librarian can't help but notice she seems a bit of an odd person..."Can I help you with something dear?" said the librarian, "well... do you have any kind of special book like machines?" the woman looked at her from top to bottom "a girl looking for machines? isn't that a man's job?" *can't believe this woman thinks only man can do stuff like that.. oh yeah old era people are like that* she thought to herself the lady went back and handed her 5 giant books about machines "what are you gonna do with it?" Celise was anxious to read all of them "I'm gonna show the world that women can also do a man's job" she snickered at the librarian, she looked for an empty seat and started her reading..

"Oh gosh I finished all the books but not one matched to what I was looking for... hold on, I picked up that stone.. then maybe, it could still be.. but I don't have any money with me I don't think they would accept modern money? I guess I'd have to bother Rudy to help me look for a job" she went back to Rudy's house and saw a girl cooking "It's you!" she was shocked to find that the girl was Delia, "What are you doing here?" asked Delia, "I was just temporarily asked to live here until I finish my mission" Celise replied Suddenly Rudy went in the house "Hey Celise? I hope you made yourself at home! sorry I'm late " she looked at Celise and Delia confused at their expressions.. "did you two know each other? " he smiled warily "yes we bumped into each other a while ago near the library... uhm Rudy you think you could help me find a job? you know any vacancies here?" Rudy looked at her and thought for a minute "I know a lot it's just that I'm not sure if you would like any of those... they are a man's job after all , you know.. hard labor and stuff" Delia hurried away with the cooking putting the plates and cups on the table preparing the meal "You may eat lunch now" they all say and ate their meal happily...

After the meal, Rudy and Celise sat down at the sofa and talked about the job openings he laid out before her all the jobs and asked her to choose only one "Well there's a lot of them *one news article caught her eye* what's this? a scientist looking for an assistant?" she thought this guy might be able to help her get her back in time "Oh you sure about that? it might sound like an easy job, but you must know a lot about some things..." before he could continue Celise thanked Rudy and told him she would get this job.

She rushed out and went to apply for the job of an assistant.. meanwhile Rudy and Delia "I can't shake the feeling that there's something off about that odd girl.. I don't even know why I helped her.." Delia looked at him "well as long as she doesn't cause any trouble then it's fine by me" she rubbed her belly and starts cleaning the silverware's and plates...*,why does she resemble Delia?* Rudy thought to himself...
