Authors Note: Hi there again. So this little piece of.. something, popped up in my head right after Chloe shot herself (god damn, did that one scare me... like hell Chloe, put that fucking gun away!). Anyway, enjoy!
One more trick shot. Okay what should be her next target?
I already felt weak after I rewound like 4-5 times, but one more would be okay.
"How about the bumper?" that should do the trick. After Chloe's silly last words for the bumper, her shot echoed trough the air, followed by her cursing. "Shit! Jesus, I shot myself! Back up, back up!" Her bullet recoiled and got her right in the front. I couldn't see exactly where it hit her, but she was falling to her knees, huffing in pain and loosing her balance. "Hold on Chloe!" I got this!
As I rewound I could feel my headspin. My vision went blurry and patches of red and black got into my sight. As I got out of the rewinding, I heard the shot again. Shit, that wasn't far enough! I tried it again, only to get to the exact same scene as before, Chloe, hunched down on her knees. As I tried it again, my nose began to bleed. No, not know, come on Max, you can't let her die again! I tried it a few times by now, only with little success.
I got to the point where she said her goodbye to the car bumper, but I couldn't get her to stop pulling the trigger. My hand nearly at her wrist, then the shot, the pain. Again.
Every time I got a little more out of it, but shit... there was no other way. I couldn't rewind long enough to stop her from shooting this god damn bumper. The only way to not get her shot, was to step in between the bullet and her. One step would do it. One step and I could save her.
There it was again. Her last words. "Goodbye cruel bumper." Goodbye Chloe.
Bang!
"Max!"
