Cara Pierce – Race Against the Clock challenge

Race Against the Clock challenge Rules, by Icmnfrsh

“Help! I’m stuck in an elder’s body!!”

Cara Pierce, an elder, but a young adult at heart, woke up one morning and realized that her life was coming to an end. Her hair was grey and her joints were stiff. What had happened? Where had all the time gone? Just yesterday, Cara was graduating from highschool and starting her first job. Now, she had the prospect of dying alone, because she had never married and her family was all gone.

“A drop here…and in there…”

Cara had to do something about this. If she wanted to regain her life, then she had to start over. Cara had to go back to the days of her youth. She needed a potion to make her a young adult again! And so, she started working day and night towards creating a pink liquid that would do just that.

“Oh dear Grim…”

Even with all the set backs she faced (such has her potion work blowing up in her face), Cara managed to create nine different potions. But the one she wanted–no, the one she needed, still eluded her. She was still missing something…

“Yes, this is it!”

And that something came to her one night in a dream! Just like that, the next day, Cara had done it! In her hands was the potion she had been working for weeks to create. To sip from the bottle, and she would be young again…

“Ah, I’ve done it!”

After drinking the potion, Cara decided that as a young adult, she could no longer live in the same house–it was designed for an elder, and would no longer suit her. So she packed her bags, and moved to Twinbrook. Her goal in life now? To marry a rich man. Did she succeed? Well, now, that is a tale for another day…
