Chapter 10
The building was 20 stores high, so going to the roof was not the best idea at the time, but my mind was not working properly. I got Crystal away from the door and locked.
-Ok Nike...Stop. I heard her say as she slowly moved away from me and the door. That's enough.
I looked at her. She looked sad...
-Crysta...
-No!
She did not let me finish.
-Look above my head, she ordered and I did so. The symbols danced in sync but failed to reveal a certain number.
-There are no numbers...
-Wait...
I kept looking as the red glowing figures finally stopped moving. 7 minutes!
-W...What? But... I saved you! I got you away from him! Why?
-You still don't get it, she said with desperate eyes...You cannot change time... You are not that powerful! Now, I don't know how you know about Artemis but I... She teared up. All I did was for you.
-What are you saying? And who is Artemis?
She moved backwards scared.
-He is... the hit man I hired to kill me...
I thought I misheard. She hired what?
-Why...? Was all I could say as I felt steaming tears running down my face.
-I... did not want to hurt you... She replied never daring to look at me. Knowing it was an accident you would hurt less right?
-Crys... a sob blocked my voice. Do you.. Are you serious?
She did not reply.
-Do you want to die? So badly? Just... I moved forward. Tell me you are joking... I begged... Tell me that this is all a joke... or a terrible nightmare...
She nodded negatively and moved backwards so as to avoid my touch.
-You... should have told me... Talk to me about your pain, or... You know I would...Well I would protest of course, but I would let you do what makes you happy.
"Liar..." There was no way I would let her die.
-We both now this would not happen, she whispered. So I hired Artemis, an old friend. At least you would leave it alone after that.
5 minutes! I heard the door banging.
-Why is there so little time?! I asked panicked. H...He cannot come in! I locked!
-Nike... I am sorry... she muttered as she moved closer to the edge of the roof. Don't do anything stupid...
-NO! I screamed as I realized what she was about to do. Please!
-I love you... A lot...
