Relaxing my mind and pressure, I know it's about time I make a move, I'm not going to stay here forever am I?, From the way they're searching for me, they'll definitely find me and when they do, I don't think I have many options of an escape.
I thought that I possess the greatest of all power and can do with me whatever I want, but looking from the situation, just as the advantage is big, the disadvantage is as well bigger, can't really get my head straight on how to deal with this and make it a success, frustration already taking over me, leaving me with pains and miseries.
Without the time keeper's intervention, I believe there's nothing I cannot do, but the fact I have something else hunting me down, something I really don't know how to defeat, I guess it's never as easy as one could imagine after all.
With the screwdriver in my hand, I took in the breath, that breath that seems to signal my demon, my hunter. Pausing the time, I know it's the moment, giving up now isn't an option. I made the run out, counting each step as I run, heading towards the gang leader, him being my sole target drives me to accomplish the task I have set for myself.
Seeing the attack on time, I shifted by weight to the side, making the time keeper is miss its attack, the fact you don't know how it will be making its attack makes it really hard to get through, it can just smash you out from nowhere, any attack right now that hits me seems like an unarguable mission failed, which I'm not ready to accept.
Immediately my attack connected with the gang leader's neck, I saw myself hit out of balance, falling roughly and out of control, I was almost out of breath, I want to run but I can't, I'm fatally wounded by the attack, my eyes traveling to the man I just attacked who was still standing and never knowing what just happened to him.
I was pulled up from the ground, I can notice the change, it looks like the time keeper is not two feets taller than I am, making me look quite small to it. I snapped my finger, trying to proceed with the time, if they're to catch me after the time begin, I am not displeased with that, I have already gotten my target.
Something strange was happening, I can't seem to get the time to start going again, how come?, Why can't I get the time to start working like before?. The time keeper opened its palm wide, something like a red flame begin leaving my body, like it was beginning to trap my soul in, Oh God, what are you doing Wilfred?, Remember you made a promise Wilfred, find a way to fight this?.
I tried motivating myself to move, trying to talk inside my mind, pushing myself to go beyond my limits, but the more the flames leave, the weaker I get, as well as the taller and stronger the time keeper becomes, what have I really gotten myself into?.
I don't know what happened, but it released me from the air, I saw myself fall to the ground so tired and eaten up, I was there, I was lying on the floor but I couldn't save myself, I look like I am ready to give up now.
“ Wilfred, you've to find safety.... You've to fight this, you have to prove to yourself that you are more than this, you're more than what you are right now, convince yourself that you're capable of doing the impossible.....”
That's Chronos speaking, I can hear his voice in my head, how did he do that?, How did he spoke through to me?. I was no longer breathing, I am already beginning to choke, struggling to survive, but it's all a waste of time.
“ Common Wilfred..... I want to get through to you, we're two inside this body, just try to stay awake longer, fight this Wilfred don't give up now, it's almost, you just have to stay strong......”
He was trying to boost my mindset, to give me the courage to stay alive and awake for few more minutes, but what's the use, struggling to stay alive is of no use, I think I have done all I have to, guess it's about time I let myself go.
My eyes jolted open, my body stood up from the floor where I laid, I don't know what's going on, but I am not the one controlling my body, it seems like its on autopilot or something, how come?. The time keeper that was just standing in front of me turned around, walking away and suddenly disappeared.
Am I dead?, What happened?, My body is still moving but the time keeper didn't attack, rather it stepped away and disappeared like I wasn't its prey moments ago. What's going on?, Before I knew it, the time began to move again, the gang leader fell down on the floor struggling for his life because of the screwdriver stucked in through his neck, he was choking, choking to death.
We were the only ones on the street because everyone had ran away for safety the moment the gunshots began then. They were all looking at their Boss who was losing his life right there on the floor, not knowing exactly what had happened to him, how he was attacked, they were all looking scared while my body was standing away from them, but wasn't moving, just staring at the scenario playing out in front of me or whatever was in control of my body.
I could say that I am grateful that I was never dead, that I'm still well and alive, but out of control of my body, I look like a stone placed into an empty shell, shaking the shell will make the stone to make some noise, that's how it feels like here, this is not me, this is surely not me.
