I can't get over with the sight before me, my hands were unsteady, as well as my body shaking through fear of the sight right in front of me, I can see that sorry look on my mom's face, like she now understands what I meant that we had to go.
“ I'm sorry Wil, I really am....”
Blood spouting out of her mouth as she was trying to speak, I got up immediately to catch her falling body as I fell with her on my hold, I was lost in thought, like I still can't make out the picture right in front of me, like I can't get to believe that I am watching my mom again before me, losing her life and I couldn't do anything to protect her. My head felt like it was so heavy like a five story building which has to find support because it was on top of my neck, what is this?, What just happened?, Why?, Why is she dying again?, Why couldn't I protect her?, Am I that of an unworthy son?.
I tried to hold back the splattering blood washing out from her body, but I just can't, I couldn't, I can't save her, even if I try. I can hear the vehicles packing by my side of the road, everyone on the area already ran away, leaving only me and my mom, as well as the gang who were now standing all around us.
I can see the blueprint which was by my side getting picked up, possibly by the gang leader. “ Guys!.... I think this is what we came for, good to have it back with us again.....” he said to his gang members gathered round us.
“ Lemme guess, you know we were coming and decided to escape before we catch up with you....” he said to me, squatting down to the floor, trying to be on the same level as me as he was staring into my face, a smile on his face, not bothered at all that they just shot my mom instead of me, they should have aimed for me, rather they aimed at my Mom.
“ I was bringing it back to you guys, she made me promise not to be part of you guys again, so I was on my way to return the blueprint.....”
He burst out laughing, his laughter sounding out, really loud that you could tell that he was just trying to fake it, before he looks back at me, pulling his gun out from its shield as he pointed it to my head. “ So you think I am some fucking dumb kid Will, how pathetic do you think I fucking look in your sight?....”
He asked, tilting my head to the side with the bullet hole of his gun, like he would be shooting immediately I gave out a wrong answer. The thought on my mind was my promise, I am stuck right now, as much as I wish to keep to the end of my promise, I am now in a critical situation like before, I don't know what to do, tears fell down my eyes, knowing how hard it was for Chronos to trust me on this, he wanted nothing but freedom, willing to get it whatsoever way possible, wanting to enjoy the feelings he has missed since forever, but now, here I'm again, about to risk it all.
I'm making a huge mistake, I'm breaking a promise that is worth a lot of faith and trust, I really don't want to do this, but what can I do then?, I'm in the point of death and would be shut any second from now, guess it's about time I break a trust which beyond repayable, I just wish Chronos understands why I have to do this, I am really sorry for failing him again.
“ I thought so dummy, at least you should thank me for sending you back with your....”
I stopped the time, leaving my mom alone as I stood up, eyes not leaving her, but if I am to do this, I better move on from this and find my way back to another opportunity. Before I could turn around, I felt myself slowly soaring up above, shit, not again. I forced myself to the floor as I decided to repeat what Chronos taught me the last time, I just run.
Just like before, everywhere was blurry as I ran, like I was too fast, but something happened, something in between, I felt a hand trying to grab mine from behind, but wasn't successful, making me to lose control of my run through time. I saw myself crashing heavily in something that felt like a waste bin, fuck!.... I was lying on the floor, the noise from the crash too much that it's definitely going to affect the my shoulder for the collision, last time was me colliding with our couch, this time, the collision happened with a waste bin and I believe I knew what happened, it was all because of the person or whatever that tried pulling me back, but I outran it.
Forcing myself to get up from the floor, I realized exactly where I fell into, it was the halfway which I was hiding in when the gang showed up, and if I read the scenario right, their attention would definitely be caught by the collision I made with the waste bin.
Getting up, I hid myself by the side of the waste bin, taking a peek towards that direction, like I expected, they were here and two men, actually the bikers were headed this way, to come check what the noise was all about.
Fuck me, I just ruined myself, what am I to do right now?. I heard another bang on the waste bin, this time it came from above, like someone just threw down his wastes from the top side of the building, and immediately hid the moment whoever it was saw those men heading this direction, possibly scared that he or she just got themselve in trouble.
“ Common buddy, we should go back, just bloody fuckers playing around with waste bin....” one of the bikers said as they both turned around and headed back from where they came from.
Shit!... I've to go now.
