Chapter 9: Back In Time.

Seeing my Mom gasping for breath, fighting for her life right in front of me makes me look like a total failure, so if I was just sent back to go right my wrong without this power becoming mine, this is how I could've ruined my chances of saving my Mom.
She was looking at me, pity in her eyes, feeling sorry that she never get to make me a better person before she passes. During the first time, I was hurt, I pleaded, I begged her to stick around, I made promises to change, to become a better person that she has always wanted me to be, but this time, it's different, it's a total difference from the last time, I know the feelings are still new, but it felt like I lost my humanity, the credibility of her value in my life, I wasn't just viewing this scenario as a one time thing, rather as a moment in which I can tamper with and get my Mom back onto her feet. Without second guessing, all I did was close my eyes, then opened them again.
Everything was back in place, exactly the way it was before I had left home, I could have taken it all back to the time before they met me, I can just avoid them from the first moment, but no, someone has gotta punish them, I've gotta punish them for something they possibly don't know now, I just went back to when I returned home yesterday, everything back in place, I'll wait for them in here this time around.
It was around this time that I had consulted Chronos, leaving my home with him, but this time I wouldn't be consulting anyone, instead I'll just wait for them to arrive. I was on my phone when a knock sounded on the door, it's possibly my mom, she was home when they came here, then they shot her to send me a message, but this time, it wouldn't be happening again. 
Opening the door to welcome her in, a gun was pointed to my head, “ Hello tough guy.....” I stopped the time, immediately I heard the lady say that, but to my surprise, a bullet was on the mouth of the pistol already, have almost escaped.
Jesus.... They just attacked like they were never hear to have a talk at all. I thought it was Mom, I believed it was her, that she was home before this people came, but it seems like I was mistaken, perhaps, they were the ones home when my mom returned.
I stopped the time without catching any breath, so I'll have to release it immediately if I am to survive, but that means I will still have to do it in there presence, you don't just run out of breath immediately you don't take in any, there's still some inside, left to get you to safety.
I took the gun from her hand, punched her stomach even though she felt like I brick, she's definitely going to see herself flying immediately the time begins to move again. Turning around to run with the little breath I had left, I saw myself gently going up, like I was about floating, how come?, The time is steady, how am I floating?. 
Without wasting anymore seconds, I let go of the time, making me fall back to the floor, the lady I just took her gun away falling back with force because of that punch I gave her, pushing the others behind her down.
To save my Mom before she returns, I'll have to run away from home, taking the museum blueprint with me. They're fighters, so they're not going to waste time for recovery, I just ran into the room, picked out the blueprint where they possibly found it, before hiding behind the door because they were all already inside our house.
“ I told you I Fucking saw him, I just don't know what had happened, but I swear that was fucking Wilfred, I couldn't even see his punch not to talk of the way he stole my gun away, all I saw was myself flying back and landing on you guys, the punch still hurts.....”
She was definitely explaining to the gang leader, I can make his voice giving command, turns out that they all were here, they all came for me all together, to eliminate me in cold blood, knowing that I don't use guns, I'm afraid to get blood in my hands.
Guess they don't know what I've become, maybe showing them a glimpse of it will get them to fear me from now henceforth, but for now, I gotta take this out of this house before Mom gets back. 
I was about repeating my new ability, but something called to my attention, something scared me, what was that?, Why was I automatically soaring up in the air when I kept the time on freeze, is there something I don't know?, Something he never told me?, Something I never asked?.
I took in a long breath, guess it's about time I show them exactly what I've become. Just like that, I am walking in their midst, they possibly can't do anything, all of them frozen in different positions. Taking their guns away, I decided to punch them all in the face, not caring about the ladies that were part of the group, since they're part of those hunting me down, best they get exactly the same thing as their fellow terrorists members, criminals.
Stepping out of the door, almost out of air, I decided to unfreeze the time. It was chaos, all of them beaten to the ground, that's what possessing time does, you're just that in between, that moment when someone takes a step and then another one without knowing that you lived in between those moments while he or she just skipped it.
I made them know that I was the one who did it before walking out of the door, now they're to come at me, and I am ready for them.
