Me and my friends were running after a guy who robbed my friend."Catch him",I shouted jumping through the rails and stairs.People around were moving away from our way and staring at us.

We were on a cruise ship which was going to sail for the party.We were invited for the first time to such a big event.We surrounded him."You can't runaway now.We have surrounded you.Give my bag to me",my friend shouted.

She started to move towards him when suddenly he stabbed her with a knife."Ahhhhh!"she shouted holding knife in her stomach.We all ran to hold her when he escaped."It hurts!!Monica",my bestie sobbed."I don't wanna die",she cried.

I couldn't do anything as the cruise has already started to move.The world seemed spinning around me with her in my arms bleeding.I didn't  knew that my eyes were teary too.She was the only other friend I could completely rely on like family.

"SOMEONE,help me!!!Call the doctor!!!Any doctor",I screamed.I looked everywhere for someone to react when a pair of eyes caught my attention.I didn't knew who he was but somehow he felt like he was there for me.

"Help me",I begged him.I looked at my friend and she stopped.I thought she was dead but; not only her , the whole cruise was stopped.As if someone stopped the time!

"What is going on?",I asked to myself."You were the one who pleaded me to save her",he said."You did this!How?"I was astonished."So,have you forgotten about your friend and want me to answer your question or shall I heal her",he questioned.

"Please!Help her if you can",I begged again."Well!I will if you are ready to pay it's cost.After all,everything comes with a price tag.Even services!"he smirked wickedly.I felt the urge to wipe his smirk."Oh dear!You can't wipe my smirk.After all,I am handsome as hell",he continued.

"Did he just read my thoughts?How come he knew about it",I thought."There is no time to confirm your doubt about me reading your thoughts or just guessing them.Answer me; YES or NO",he asked coming close to face.

"But what is the price?"I asked."You will know when the time comes",he said with an evil expression."YES",I said after taking a deep breath."Well!Then this is my farewell.See you next time",he snapped his fingers.

I was on a deck with my friends,again."What just happened?"I thought to myself."Are you okay",I hugged my friend tightly making her hand holding wine raised up high."What are you doing,girl?"her breath hit my hairs which were going in her mouth:).

"You were hurt",I replied."Ya,I hurt my toe last night,but it's good now",she said with awkward tone.As if she was never stabbed.Wait a sec!"Did he really healed her and erased her memory?"I asked myself."No idiot!I just reversed time and so she was never robbed or stabbed as I changed the timeline",a voice spoke in my head.

"Who is it?"I asked looking around."Well,I am in your head and don't worry.You will know everything when time comes  just don't forget our deal",he teased.And after that,I never heard from him or saw him.

Now,it's only my memory as if he kept it to make me remind of my deal.After that day,everyday was normal as if such thing never happened.Whenever,I am verge of forgetting that day ,the memory comes to me as a memory.I am scared a little,not because I will have to complete my deal but, because I don't want the people I love to share it's weight with me.
