Rewind

Chapter 9

Hi again, so, I saw your comments, it was cruel to leave you over the edge so, here the next chapter. So, this chapter will follow immediately after the last scene of the previous chapter. Remember that, Emily rewound in time two years before Alison's time of Death. In the 1st narrative at the beginning, I don't mention the name of the character, but you will get who's narrative is at the end of the chapter 😊

NOTE 1: Everything in bold italics, it will be the character's narrative, I mean, like an internal dialogue, their thoughts. And everything in italics, it's just the words in which I want to emphasize

NOTE 2: Everything between parentheses () it's to describe the scene.

I hope it's clear and thank you in advance if you have the time to leave a review! Have a great day!

Chapter 9

*** Narrative  ***

I didn't want to fall in love... I'm not supposed to fall in love, but you came into this world... I saw you, I heard your heartbeat and without knowing... without expecting it... without wishing it... I fell... I fell in love... with you...

It was a peaceful cold night of December in Rosewood, with all the people in their homes, it let an empty lonely street... It was very quiet, just snow was falling, and it was a beautiful scenery till the noisy shot of a gun perturbed such peaceful scene. There was no soul in the streets to notice it, there was no one, except for two entities, which were supposed to do just their job...

(Outside the Pharmacy)

Time snaps. - "It's not her Time! Her time of death is supposed to be fixed for next year! No, now! She's supposed to have an entire year before facing situations like this!" (He points out towards the pharmacy with frustration and says) "This shouldn't be happening..."

The black hoodie, at his side, just stares at him in silence, Death takes its list out of its Pocket, and looks at it. Time overlooks over Death's shoulder and a sigh of relief gets out of his mouth when he sees just one name in that list... a name that's not Alison...

Death. - "You look relieved...why?"

Time doesn't reply, he just sighs hard and starts walking in circles around his hoodie colleague. They stay in silence and Time notices how Death is constantly looking at the list... like if the angel of Death was sensing something...

Time. - "What are you waiting for? Collect the soul of your list and leave!"

Death says with serenity. - "From all the places in the world, somehow, I always find you in this town... I wonder why..."

Time. - "Where I go, what I do, it's not your business..."

Death. - "You're right; it's not and it's also not your business if I decide to stay here and wait..."

Time. - "Wait for what?"

Death. - "I can't cross the name of my list, not yet, he's still alive and, I've been enough time in this job to know that in situation like this, there's always the possibility of having more than one Death..."

Time stops moving, he gulps and grips hard on his arms as he stares at the pharmacy...

Time mutters. - "Her name can't appear in your list... No tonight..."

Death smirks. - "Just give it time..."

They exchange looks and Death smirks as Time shows in his eyes, a mix of fear and anger...
