Fallen Paradise

Chapter 4: Unknown

Wandering some distance from the underground camp, Jack stopped, glancing over his shoulder to find a nearest resting spot as he walks over to a street bench which was still intact and sits on it, seeing this Jian does the same as she sits beside him, removing her half top hat from her head and placing it besides her on the bench as they both look silently at the crimson moon light dyeing red hue in the surrounding environment, they both remained silent as if trying to feel and hear what the forsaken night is trying to say, but moments later Jack broke the silence as he change his sitting posture, resting his back against the Creaking! bench as he crossed his legs slightly...

"I've always come sit here at night anytime am trying to understand something greater than me, you know"..... He said as his deep calm voice echoed silently in the densely quiet night, his face as serious and indiscernible as always as he continued frankly...."And when am here, just sitting".... he pauses before continuing...."I always understand what am thinking".......He concluded as he changed his sitting posture again, clasping both of his hands together, he said as his voice seemed to hold a hint of confusion....

"But this time it's different, i have been sitting here all day just trying to understand the situation we are in, but the more i sit here, the more it's get more confusing.... would anyone have thought that five hours ago it was just 11:00 in the morning when suddenly it became night, and a very strange night especially"...... He said as his voice faded in the densely quiet night as if it didn't have any life on it,

" The world change without any prior warning, and in order to survive it, we have to learn and adapt "...... Jian calmly said as her gaze landed on Jack who is sitting next to her in deep thought as if it's his last,
looking at him Jian continued...."Relax....." she said as she pats his left shoulders with her left hand pushing him slightly she continued...." We would figure out a way, as long as we are alive".... She concluded as the wind hallowed silently around them...

Remembering he saw her with someone earlier, Jack asked in curiosity... " If I may ask, who was that lady that wanted to talk with you ? ".

Hearing this, a sinister smile curled on Jian face as her brows lifted slightly, she opened her mouth..... " Oooh, look at you ".... She said before concluding.... " Are you interested? "

Bam!

A loud Knock! landed on her head, making her place both hands on her head as she silently grumbled,

" I just wanted to ask and nothing else ".... Jack said as he turns his head away, slightly pissed before Jian open her mouth

" Alright I get it, I get it " .... She said as she paused before continuing... " She is Viola "

Hearing this Jack looks at her, a little bit shock he said.... " Viola, the bully girl you talked about from your highschool "...

Jian nodded slight in reply as she rests her back against the Creaking! bench, leaning her head up slightly she calmly said... " Yeah, and she said she wanted to talk with me "

"Don't you think she already knows who you are ?".... He asked, as Jian answered him frankly with a stern expression..

" I know, I've noticed she knows already "... She said while still leaning and looking up

Hearing this, Jack tries to put his words together, before saying.... " I know am in no position to say this but, have you forgiven.... no, I mean are you still angry with her ? " .....  He said as Jian who was looking up, for a moment glanced at him before looking up again, she said calmly as a slight smile curled on her face

" I didn't think am that angry at her anymore but , for the forgiveness, I think I'll wait until after the discussion, by then I'll decide and besides if it was Diana, am sure she would have already forgiven her already ".... She paused for a moment as a flash of Diana passed her mind before continuing. " Am sure of it, and also Viola seemed to change, her behavior since the moment I met her in that company, she seems like another person entirely, well it might be a good thing but, that doesn't still change the fact that Diana is still in a coma for 10 years now, after the discussion between Viola and I, am going to the hospital to bring Diana to the camp, cause the hospital wouldn't be safe anymore".... She concluded as everywhere became densely quiet before Jack muttered in a silent but hearable voice
