I never wanted to do this, I never planned on using this, but the occasion calls for it, they just dealt with my Mom because of something I did, no matter how I try to turn back the hands of time, no matter how many times I try, my Mom just can't stop being their victim, I was about celebrating and accepting getting into a new day, but now, I think this is a matter meant to solve internally, a matter made priority, a situation which is the sole reason for acquiring this ability in the first place.
Even though I am trying to hide the heartbreak, I just couldn't, the last time, I seemed to careless about losing her because I knew I can always try again, but now, it's a different case, losing her is priceless because I can't get to decide again whether to save her or not because someone who trusted me, his existence depends on it. If there's an afterlife, I can still see her, but for Chronos, he's not to be seen anywhere, not before time or after. The only time I could get to see or speak with him is in between the space of time, in a time pause because that's the only place he exists, he's held captive there.
As they was dragging me along, sending me into the van that was to transfer me, I knew that to do this, I have to be extremely cautious, because it feels like the time keeper is catching up just like Chronos has told me, saying that his own time keeper is also in the hunt for me, as well as mine.
The policemen were holding me by the side as we walk, hands cuffed and legs in chain like they believe that I have a chance of escape. They definitely know nothing about my capabilities, I'm not scared or cautious about them, instead I am cautious about something else, something I possibly can't escape from because it's not a human stuff, the time keeper which I have never seen before, but have felt its presence.
With the vehicle now in sight, I have been planning on how to handle the situation when I get back there, I've been building and drawing plans in my head, thinking of how I'll execute this mission this time, rescuing my Mom, as well as cutting down the gang leader, I might not possibly stop the raid at the museum because one thing should be sacrificed, but this other things around would be my primary, secondary and as well tertiary goal.
With a deep air taken into my lungs, I paused the time. “ You promised.....” I turned around, hearing a voice speak to me, I saw a young man come into view, that's definitely Chronos, like always, he comes in different forms like he was at that period of time, but I as well understand the disappointed look on his face, he's definitely regretting trusting me, I really understand, but I feel like I have to do this, I have to protect my Mom.
“ I'm sorry Chronos.... But I just wish you can find a way to understand...”
“ Understand what?.....tell me, understand what exactly?!, Just like I thought, you were going to stab me in the back, you were going to give me away because you never cared!....”
He was coming closer as he speaks, walking close to me, I can't stay to have this conversation, I'm in here with a limited air, I don't wish to have this kind of conversation after all, I know that I'm guilty, but I promise to be cautious in everything and as well make it up to him.
“ We will talk about this later Chronos, but right now I have to go, I'm almost out of!...”
“ You're going nowhere..... ”
A hand grabbed mine, a hand like that of a skeleton, I have seen this before, I can remember exactly where I saw it, it one of the pictures, one of the instances given about Chronos look, the creature with the face of a clock, putting on some cloak, black and all torn, its legs and arms the only skeletal part of its body you can make out, Oh God, I have been tricked, this is not Chronos, but rather, it's the time keeper.
With just a stroke of dragging my hand away, it was free, Chronos told me how weak the time keeper was, but the more I tamper with time the weaker I get and the stronger it becomes, for now, I seem like I can still out power it and with my breath almost out, I made the run, but just like last time, something tried to grab me from behind, but I made it through with a fatal fall that's definitely going to leave wound marks or scars, because looking from the fall, I'm definitely not going to escape uninjured.
Shit, just like Chronos has told me, I'm dumb, I'm all dumb like fuck, he already told me that he wouldn't be seeing me again and after the new deal that he's now fully part of me, how the fuck did I still expect to encounter with him again?, I'm just a fucking mess living in his internal guilt, blaming myself for breaking my promise, now I was almost caught when I was almost running out of breath.
All thanks to the fact that my time keeper is not yet that strong, I am still more powerful for the meantime, but for the hand trying to drag me whenever I am running back in time, that one I should really be cautious of, because that's definitely Chronos time keeper, its trying to seize me in, to capture me.
Looking around to see where I landed in this time, I realized the exact spot, but my Mom wasn't anywhere to be seen, fuck!... She might've already gone past me, I have got to find her.
