chapter 1: First clock

    It was a night with heavy and stormy rain, it was cold and very noisy. I coudn''t even have a nice sleep, what''s the problem today?


    How i coudn''t sleep well i get up of my bed and go to the kitchen of my apartment and drink some milk, that''s so frustating.


    — Creak! –


    This sound comes from a door opening abruptly next to mine, it must be the neighbor who is drunk, Jake.


    "Waa—!?"


    ...Was that a scream? i don''t know because it''s in another room... i''ll go check him.


    "...Jake?"


    I ask for his name while i''m stading in front of his door, waiting for a answer but i can''t hear nothing then just some little noises.


    "...Jake, are you okay? Can i go in?"


    For what i remember, Jake is a old friend of mine, to put it simply, the first one when i got here one year ago, but he just had one problem as a friend, his bad habit to be drunk all the nights, poor guy. He was left for his girlfriend 4 months ago, and now he''s getting worse then before, i''m worried about him since he''s a good person to me.


    "Hey, If you don''t answer soon i''ll go in..."


    "...There''s no need to that... i''m fine..."


    Eh? his voice is a little different...


    "Really?... if you say so...then good luck to sleep today!"


    "...Good night..."


    "Night~"


    Yeah, maybe because he''s too drunk or he''s still in puberty, ha. After that i go back to my apartment and go to my bed, i just got to sleep when the rain calmed down a little.Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.


    I got a little sleep, enough to be alive at least.


    When it''s already morning i get up and sit in the side of my bed looking in the window, it''s a habit to do that every morning for a while. So after that i go change my clothes and do my breakfeast to eat and then i just sit in the counch thinking about what i will do today.


    "...maybe i should see how is Jake doing..."


    My life is not so interesting and i just go to work at 09:30 and right now is 07:26. So then i get up of the counch and go to the door''s next to mine, Jake''s apartment.


    "Morning Jake,how are you doing? did you get to sleep well yesterday?"


    ...no response at all.


    "...I know the answer it''s a little obvious but i just want to talk a little with you...it''s little boring here, you know that right?"


    ...no response again. Is he ignoring me?


    I try to open the door to see what''s going on, it opened for my surprise. Why did he left the door opened?


    Then after looking at the door i notice that''s not normal. The doorknob is little broken, i don''t know how i should put this in worlds... wait.


    I see blood in the wall inside of Jake''s apartment and i suddenly feels shivers in my spine. I hope is not what i think it is...


    After that i go inside the apartment and start walking a little slowly in direction to the blood''s indication. I confess that i''m a little afraid...


    "Tic, toc, tic, toc..."


    It''s a sound of a clock coming from the last door, i think it''s where the start of the blood are. I hesitated for a short moment but then i keep going in the sound of the clock''s direction.


    The door of his room was half-opened when i finally got there.


    I saw a arm in the floor, there was a lot of blood in there that i coudn''t even breath properly.


    When i opened all the door to se properly what''s there i saw a terrifying vision, that i coudn''t even imagine it that i would have nightmares at night.


    It was cold.


    I saw it, i saw all of his body left in the floor full of blood, it was so scary, i''m scared.


    His body in the floor, the cold air, my body shaking, and the clock ticking.


    "Tic, Toc...DING—"


    "— A-AH!–"


    My voice refuse to let out a scream, my heart is beating so fast while i''m with my eyes wided opened. Then i runned so fast to his body without second troughts to check if he still alives. Why did it happened? How it happened?


    I''m so confused and scared.


    I try to pick up my phone but i remember that''s not with me, i left in my apartment. So i runned away to go out of there and i start to scream, with all my strenght that i have.


    "PLEASE! SOMEONE HELP ME! CALL THE AMBULANCE! –"


    I start to breath very hard and i keep screaming: "CALL THE AMBULANCE, PLEASE!"


    Then the others neightbours was getting out with a really pissed off face.


    "What''s all that noise soon in the morning!?"


    I trought "Finally".


    "PLEASE MISS, MY FRIEND IS HURTED AND THERE''S TOO MUCH BLOOD IN THE FLOOR! CALL THE AMBULANCE!–"


    Then i start remembering Jake''s body full of blood, and then my vision started to get blurred and the voices of the neightbours was fading away.


    "Hello!?– Oi!"


    I fainted of all of the times. The very least i could remember was a cold feeling and bad sensations.

    "...Ms.Dianna?"


    I hear a voice while i''m still awakening. I finally see where i''m, it''s a hospital.


    "...Who are you?..."


    It''s a man with a grey suit and a hat. Maybe he''s a detective.


    "I''m detective Kazami Gary. I''m here to ask you some questions..."


    "...First of all, how is he?"


    The detective was a little hesitant but he answered me honestly.


    "He''s dead."


    Wow, he''s pretty direct with his words but i don''t hate it. But it''s very hard to believe that Jake''s dead, that''s sad...


    "Is that so?...well, now you can do your questions..."


    "...Fine."


    I looked in directly in his eyes to give to him a firm answer, i want to know who killed Jake too.


    "So, when was the last time you saw Jake? except the part you found him dead."


    "The last time?..."
