Up To Hourglass To Decide

Chapter 39

"open the door" an old man's voice can be heard from outside.

"I open it, you guys stay at behind" Cody headed forward to the door. as he twisted the door knob, people with suits were burst in.

"we need you to come with us now" one of them ordered Cody, "along with your friend, Vincenzo, where is he"

"I don't know what you're talking about, and Vincenzo is not here, it's been a while since the last time I saw him" Cody answered calmly, but no one believed him, so they busted inside harshly without Cody's permissions.

They're calling Vincenzo, and as they headed upstairs, Cody giving Vincenzo a sign to tell him that it is safe for both of us to escape. Vincenzo went ahead with his hands holding mine.

"I need you to run now" and we both run to outside hand in hand while all of them were checking at upstairs.

Unfortunately, Thompson's family arrived with their old classic cars, and the three of them came out from the car, with their elegant dress, with a wide hat on their heads, don't forget about their curly wavy hair and their beautiful brown color gloves that they wore, the people inside the car contain one young girl and another middle aged woman, both wearing pink dresses, and there is an old man with his bulky figure standing in front of the car.

"what brings the parents and sister of Thompson's family coming all the way from their place?" Vincenzo noticed they're arriving with a bad purpose, and he's hiding me behind him.

"we're here for the blood of the person that killed my brother" The young girl said.

"who's behind you anyway?" I heard the old man said that and he's coming towards us.

As he come closer, I get more near to Vincenzo, but my hands were harshly pulled by him. As my hand get out from Vincenzo's grip, I can saw the man's face clearly, he's the father from the girl who shot herself on the stage while competing with me, and I observed the look from both person that standing there, and that's the girl that committed a suicide and the woman who stand behind her is the mom who making me a scape goat to fraud the public.

"who are you?" their daughter starts to speak up. "what are you doing here? I'm sure I had burnt your body in a hot fire"

I should just stay quiet and calm, but she's getting on my nerves already, I'm sure she burn Martha's body but I'm angry at the fact she's making my life even worse after she lost the competition, I mean her future self.

"I guess you take the wrong person then" I shrugged and smirked at her.

"what? No, I ask you who are you" she took one step forward, and come closer to me.

"I think I answered you already" I lifted my brow while staring at her.

"Martha, don't you ever mess with her" Vincenzo warned me from behind.

"she's the one who messed up with me first, and turned me into a bad person, thanks to you I become a murderer" I take a look at her, her face didn't change at all.

"by looking at your bold and brave with an insolent attitude of yours, I can assure that you're Martha, poor Martha" she took a glance on Vincenzo and her eyes back again on looking into mine, "I killed your father and your mother" she said it with her proud smile and her eyes that full of pride.

I smirked bravely, "you probably won't remember this after you're in hell later, but you're going to live a struggle life after you reborn" I pointed at her mother and look at her father, then back to smile in front of her, "you will die with no one stand beside you even your parents they leave you with the gun inserting inside" I walked closer to her and whispering in her ear, "inside your mouth"

But she pushed me away, "who are you to decide how my life will be in the future?"

I slapped her on her right cheek, and spit on her eyes, "you make my life miserable and you're here living your best life, I'm glad you decided to eat the bullet so that you keep being a poor, sad, and lost child"

She grabbed my dress and said, "for my whole life, I've never been slapped by anyone before"

I slapped her left cheek this time, "really? But today you must be happy for getting slapped by someone who you messed with" I take a look on her parents, but they're just stood there with an evil smile drawn on their face.

Without me knowing, I'm holding a hourglass and the last sand just finished run through the neck and come into the lower section, and I heard a shotgun inside Cody's house. That made me and Vincenzo spontaneously rushed toward inside, and we saw Cody's body being dragged from upstairs.

"NO" I screamed and pushed anyone who were holding Cody's body like a sand bag.

Vincenzo is too shocked that he fell to his knees, he's to startled to see the fact that his best friend is dying with his eyes open and his blood pouring out from his mouth. They shot him right on his neck.

"who is the one shot him?" the daughter of them some inside with his heels stomp on the floor loudly, "I THOUGHT I TALKED TO ALL OF YOU TO LET ME CUT HIS BODY OPEN WITH MY HAND" she screamed while stomping her heels like a spoiled brat that their parents didn't want to buy toys that she wants.
"cut his body?" I placed the hourglass on the floor, without knowing that means they will kill Vincenzo the next after all the sands sliding to the lower section.

"where's your conscience? Do you have one?" I get up from the floor after holding Vincenzo's face.

"I don't know? Do I have one?" she shrugged while saying that and her face showing no mercy at all and he keep ranting about why the guards killed Cody first.

"Ms Isabella, I'm apologizing because we shot him in the first place, but as the time flow, we can't wait, he will run away" one of the guards said that while bowed in front of her, so her name is Isabella.

"good job anyway" she patted the man's arm, but the more she pat, the harder it get, until she hit his head a few times.

She holds up his chin and said, "if the time's finished, then find a way for her to put it back again" she said while keep looking at me, and she pushed the guard aside and come towards me.

Her hands were choking my neck, I slapped her hands a few times for her to let go of my neck but she tightens it more. This sight is making Vincenzo tried to save me out from her hands, but the guards are stopping him from stepping forward towards me.

"who are you?" Isabella asked with her big eyes.

"I'm" I tried to answer her while she's choking me until I ran out of breath.

"who are you?" Isabella asked one more time this time she let go of my neck.

And I'm panting and coughing to find an air to breathe, while glaring at her I answered her question.

"I'm Martha's twin sisters, it's nice to see you, sorry to meet you like this" I smirked without knowing her eyes were glancing on the hourglass beside Cody that I spinned around earlier.

Without me knowing Vincenzo's the next person they will kill. I failed on protecting them, I failed. I failed.
