I made myself a cup of coffee. I sat by the glass window that separated the living room and the terrace. The brown wooden tiles were uncomfortable so I sat on a grey cushion. It felt like a perfect day, but it wasn't. I met a mysterious boy, then I almost got hit by a car and now I found out that Ava was poisoned.
My thoughts drifted away to the elevator boy. Did he mean the warrior queen by the sentence "The queen has a little time left" Or was it me, he meant?
I was bored so I placed my hand in my pocket to take out Tristan's phone but it wasn't there. I started looking around, patting my pockets. But in the end, I realised what happened. "He took it! The elevator boy" I felt devastated.
It wasn't mine by right, but it wasn't his either. "He saved me to take that phone" I should have known; he is selfish, and why would he care about me? A mere puppet. That phone basically had everything! It was the key to finding the murderer and I had it. And now I lost it.
I got up from the cushion, and thats when someone knocked at the door. I went to open the door, "Food delivery" the man said. "I didn't order food" I replied, without opening the door. "Isn't this Mr. Edgar's apartment?" the delivery boy asked. "It is" I said.
I wasn't sure what Edgar ordered. He didn't mention ordering food and he knew that I'm sick and I won't eat it. Maybe he ordered for himself. I opened the door. There was a delivery boy, wearing a blue t-shirt. He had the pizza box in his hand. He had dark hair and black eyes. He looked down at his clothes and laughed " I spilled coffee on my uniform so, I had to wear this. Job is job" he said and shrugged.
I took the pizza from his hand and closed the door gently. I went towards the kitchen counter and placed the pizza there. He ordered it from a local pizza shop. 'That's unlike him' I thought. I was about to turn and go finish my coffee but I thought why not, let's eat a slice of pizza. I grabbed a plate. It was white with blue designs at the corners. I opened the pizza and took a slice. It was with extra cheese. I was happy because I loved extra cheese and Edgar never let me have it because he is allergic to.... dairy. "Edgar is allergic to dairy. Oh God" I said out loud.
I fell silent. Someone closed the door from behind. The door I thought I had closed. "You know, if you place your foot at the corner of the door, it can't be closed until you remove it. It's common sense" he said, from a distance. My feet froze to the ground. He moved silently and just in a second, before I had the chance to react ; he was right behind me. Before I could scream,speak or even move there was a cloth on my mouth. I panicked and started kicking him. He tightened his grip around me to the point I could barely move. Each breath came with difficulty. And after 2 or 3 minutes, I blacked out. Last thing, I heard was "When the warrior Queen dies, why should the puppet live? "
