Up To Hourglass To Decide

Chapter 38

First off all, I don't have too much hope for this letter to be spread by whoever found and read this, and if you're someone who received this or you found this, please returned it to me. I mean my future self, she will come, I'm not fully sure about this, but if somehow you're the one who read this, please help me find someone who look like me, I'm placing my portrait behind this paper, so make sure you look at it.

You have a task from me, if you haven't look at my red book then, find it I'm sure it's somewhere near the drawer that contains a pile of books. If you find it then, read it and please help me stop Vincenzo the guy who probably joined the Thompson gang member to becoming my parent's murderer. Please, just do whatever it takes to stop him. Because I don't want to let him die with a murderer on his tombstone.

That's the truth of this, the truth about the price that they get to pay without doing anything wrong, that's juts how Thompson is. Both of them had involved with me, they will kill both of them first, after that one by one who knows me will die in their hands too, so I really need your help on helping them trying to escape first, hiding it's not going to be helpful in that situation, just run away anywhere, don't stay calm and silent in one place, they got many eyes are watching them.

You have to pretend that you're me. Do the things that I have always do, such as measuring how long I talk by placing a hourglass while sitting and discussing, tell them that Martha's not dead yet, that's the trap to fool them, just think anything and say anything to make them look like a fool, to make them believe that you're the one who is helping them.

I know I shouldn't ask for your help anymore, but can you help me to keep Cody safe?, I might be embarrassed to say this myself, honestly I don't know what is in me, I don't know what is inside my head when I decided to offer them my friend who is keeping me safe, I don't know why I'm letting my parents die in their hands, honestly I don't, its too late to change the mistakes that I made, I'm turning into a bad person, I don't wish to becoming more cruel anymore.

So I wished upon the sky that if I ever born again to become a human, please help me one more time, make them smile after the chaos that I will start later. Please let them continue to live, continue to run, Thompson is not a joke, they are psychopath that prey on weak people, we're not someone who can beat them fall.

I sincerely want to apologize to you, you know the karma you get after committing a sin in a past, I hope you will grow stronger and overcome any fear that hold you back, becoming a good person even the society told you not to, you're going to beat all the people out there and become the best one, I pass my baton to fight this to you because your past self is too coward to fight it.

I'm going to do an ill and nasty act now. I'm signing this with my blood to let you see that I'm serious and sure about this, I will finish Brian with my own hand, and you should protect them when their squads come after you.

Continue to live, whoever you are.

I saw a red thumb print on the brown paper, what does she mean by saying that we need to run, and why I ended up being like this in this late night, we barely having a peace day today by not fighting or brings up heat topic that both of them wouldn't fond of.

I'm flipping the paper to the other side and saw Martha's self-portrait, she sure looks like me 100%, and I'm sure I can trick them just like how Martha told me.

I went outside near the kitchen to find a hourglass that Cody showed me before, I look through everywhere but Cody didn't hide it there, I keep trying to look for at least a decent hourglass that will help me on pretending that I'm Martha's acquittances, I toss everything in the rack and it's waking up both Vincenzo and Cody.

"what are you trying to do now?" Vincenzo coming down the stairs and holding back my hands who had been furious to make sure they're safe, "stop it, what's gotten into you"

"what should I do?" I'm crying while asking them what should I do.

"why are you crying? Did something bad happen?" Vincenzo pulling myself up from the ground after making a scene.

"let me ask you a question then" I'm shedding tears while saying that, "what's Martha like? Like how did she talk how did she dressed up" I'm stomping my feet furiously in Vincenzo's grip.

"what's wrong with you?" Cody reached out for me.

"about the letter that you gave me" the tears keep rolling down on my cheek, continuously.
"what about the letter that I gave you" Cody sighed as he looks at me, "tell me in detail"

"I can't" I'm out of breath while answering him, "you go take a look at it" I shook my head hardly while battling how should I do to make them save, they will die eventually, I know how vulnerable I am and I can't protect them for sure.

"what's the letter that you gave her that made her like this" Vincenzo's curiosity eating him alive and he's pushing me away to walk towards my room, to find the piece of letter that made me went mad.

"let's calm yourself down first" Cody trying to reach and hold my hand but I shoved his hand away.

"you will die soon, both three of us will die soon, and you're telling me to calm down?" I pushed him and I'm the one who nearly fall because of my weak knees, I wish I can just faint and went back waking up in my bed and go to school after that.

Vincenzo's coming out with his hands gripping on the letter tightly, and his hands formed into a fist and he's sure ready to throw a punch to me, he walks straight and grabbed me by my collar and his dark eyes showed up again.

"what kind of nonsense is this?" he threw the letter on Cody's chest, "do you have any idea?"

"what is this?" Cody take a look on what is written there, while Vincenzo is not going to let go of me.

After a few moments later, Cody speak up "you're lying" he shook his head.

"you're the one who giving me that, and yet you're still suspicious about me?" I asked Cody while looking at Vincenzo's dark eyes.

"WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?" Vincenzo furiously shaking his hands while tighten his fist on my shirt.

"I'm Martha, I'm Martha" I shook my head and cried, "I reborn again, but I didn't recognize the two of you, I don't even remember my life before, what do you think after you saw me in the first place? Do you think it is possible for someone to look like your lover? I don't think so"

"and why are you here?" Vincenzo asked me and I pushed him away.

"do you think I want to be here? Do you think I really like to suffer in here? I've already had enough trouble there, and I need to put all of yours too, do you think I really like that?" I said after getting myself out from Vincenzo's fist.

But before they can respond anything, coincidentally, we heard a loud car honk is ringing outside the house, running shoes can be heard clearly and people's hands is on the door to knock hardly, hardly enough to make us freeze on the spot.

Cody went to the lowest shelf and pulled out a pink hourglass and threw it to me.
"you have no choice left now, pretending you're Martha" Cody pulled my hand and let me stay behind him.

"I am Martha" I said with a fact that I'm Martha's future self.
