Well, I promised 2 chapters didn't I? I just hope people are reading it. I don't know if a disclaimer has to be put up every chapter, so I'll just have one in the first chapter. I mean, it's not like anything has changed in the last chapters regarding to ownership ^^
I felt so numb. My poor kitten, murdered? I seethed with rage as I saw masked murderers in my mind, hitting her, shooting her, poisoning her. I couldn't bare it. I looked down to the small table in front of me. It had been moved over my bed so I could eat. I knew my tears had fallen there, but I had no idea where. The doctor stared at the tears I must have left on the table. He whispered, "The tears have formed a shape. It's a silhouette" I gasped when I heard that. For the briefest of glimpses, I could see the pool of red staring at me from the table. It was a silhouette, of my kitten, Mia. It shocked me. I could almost see her beautiful face behind my eyes. I began to cry again. Then I heard a voice in my head.
You aren't allowed to cry yet Diego. Not until the bitter end.
I saw a flash of her smile as I heard that voice. I said to myself, "It is the end kitten. It's your end and the end of Diego Armando". I looked back at the table, and saw another flash of red, the briefest glimpses of what was invisible in my new world. I wiped away the tears on the table.
At that moment, my stomach felt like it dropped out of me. I saw images flash in front of my eyes. Past memories flashing, court cases, kissing moments, sipping coffee, hugging my kitten. I remembered it all. I felt like I was flying. I opened my eyes to a strange world. I was flying through a digital world, masses of numbers passing me. I tried to scream but couldn't. It was the strangest thing I had ever seen. I felt myself falling, falling into the endless black below me. I closed my eyes, terrified of what I was seeing. I opened them and felt myself stop falling. I landed on a leather computer chair.
At that moment, the chair tipped over, spilling me onto the floor, taking a massive pile of papers with me. They crashed onto me and I let out a yell of surprise. I groaned and heard somebody coming. What I saw next, rocked my world.
It was Mia!
My kitten came up to me, laughing, and said, "You are so clumsy sometimes. I need to get you a chair that's nailed to the floor". I couldn't speak, I was still in shock. I looked down at myself and realised I was wearing my red shirt. She looked at me with mock worry. "Are you okay?" she said, barely stifling her laughter. "You look like you saw a ghost" Believe me kitten, I thought, I have seen a ghost; a beautiful ghost.
She smiled and handed me a mug of coffee. I drank deeply, felt the liquid black gold easing all my pain. I looked at the calendar at the desk. I realised it was my office desk. The date looked so familiar. Oh my God. This was the day I got poisoned.
I realised the implications of this. I had gone back in time. I could prevent the poisoning. I could save Mia. I grinned to her and said, "Well, hopefully by the end of the day, we can get closer to making that devil a ghost". She smiled and nodded her agreement. She said, "Do you want me to make a thermos of real coffee? I know you despise that sewer water they have the balls to call coffee in the courthouse cafeteria".
When she said this, I formulated a plan in my head. "Don't worry kitten, I can live with it for one lunch break". She nodded and quietly scolded me for even considering drinking it. We headed out to the courthouse together.
When we entered the courthouse, holding hands like the last time, and I heard the familiar wolf-whistles from passing attorneys. Mia muttered something about jealousy and I laughed. I said, "You need to wait here, kitten, I must do this alone, I cannot let her hurt you again". She looked at me solemnly, "okay, just promise you will come back safely". I gave her a cheesy grin and promised. She sat down and I left to go into the cafeteria.
I headed over to the table where Dahlia was sitting. She smiled sweetly and said, "How good of you to come, Mr Armando. I trust you are well today?" I grunted in response and said, "I'm going into the cafeteria to get coffee, you want anything while I'm there?" she gave her sickly smile and said, "How kind of you to offer, if it is no trouble, would you please get me an iced tea?" I nodded and left for the queue. When I got there, I saw that spiky haired kid, staring at Dahlia with a look of longing. He said, "Do you know her?" I nodded. "Do you think you could introduce me to that angel?" I laughed and said, "trust me, that girl is no angel' I got to the front of the line and ordered to black coffees with no sugar. I returned to the table I was sitting at. She looked at her drink with curiosity. I looked at it as well and pretended to do a double-take. "They must have gotten the orders mixed up with another table" She smiled and said, "No matter, it was still sweet of you to get a drink for me" I watched her carefully.
Soon I heard that commotion. I saw the men fighting, and out of the corner of my eye, i saw her put something in my drink. That's not going to work this time. I turned my attention back to her, once the men were escorted out of the courthouse. I had a plan now. I signalled over to that spiky haired boy, without Dahlia seeing. He raced over eagerly and bumped into her, causing her to fall off her chair. While she was busy talking to the hurriedly apologising kid, I switched our coffee cups. She never noticed. After she traded numbers, she turned her attention back to me. I took a long gulp of my coffee, pretending to savour it like I would my blend #47. She in turn took a dainty sip from hers. That was all it would take. She began to cough, politely turning away from the table. Her coughing worsened and she panicked when she saw blood. I jumped up and shouted, "Oh my God! Somebody poisoned her coffee! Call an ambulance, quick!" Cell phones came out quickly and dialled for help. They were all too late. I looked at her and she realised I knew her plans. She croaked, "How did you know?" I said, "Always watch your coffee. That's one of my rules". She fell over, still coughing up blood violently. Mia came rushing in, followed by police officers. Mia said to me, "What happened?" I looked at her calmly and said, "She tried to poison my coffee but she drank from the wrong cup"
There it is, please review and tell me what you think, more coming up soon! ^^
