The Darkest Bliss

Chapter Nine

As feared, the day came faster and brightness took complete power over the late night mysteries. As I plant my head on my pillow to finally sleep, sounds of whistle startled me. I checked my phone to discover that it was already 5:30 in the morning. What was I doing outside all this time?
I quickly changed and ran out to attend to the call.
"We will head to mt. Marvel in an hour. Be ready with your back packs." Prof. Richard was always less of words and more of action. He kept meetings, talks, and everything short and definite.
"What is with you zia? You look as though you'd just seen a ghost. " Ben tell me as he put his hand on my shoulder.
"I just need rest. Thats all"
"Oh sweetheart no rest today" he says giving me a concerned grin.
I took shower and arranged my bed and then set my back pack with all the necessities.
"Someone's here to talk to you zia" Robert calls.
"Yea in a minute, I'll be there" I say as I pad dry my hair.
"Hello Miss Williams" says a male voice as I approach the visitors lounge.
"Yes that is you, you look so much like your mother. And your eyes"
"Excuse me. Do I know you? " I interrupted.
"Jack. Uncle Jackson. You were very young then, i heard you are here so I thought of paying you a visit. Can we sit and talk" he asks with so much energy and enthusiasm in his tone.
"Sure"
"Have you thought of visiting your father since you're already here? " he ask leaving me surprised.
"Father? I didn't know he lives here" I say coldly.
"He is also here for a meeting. He will leave in some days. I suggest you go and talk to him" I wasn't really following him. So much have been happening and in this time I didn't have any space for Dad.
"I'll think about it" I say as I stood to leave.
"How long will you run Ziara? How long? Do you also wanna end up like your mother? She was a mad woman. A woman with no value, she was a coward."
"Do you think I care Mr. Jack? I don't. Tell father to also die like a coward. Have a nice day! " I walked to my room unable to brush away the thoughts that was constantly making Me uncomfortable. It was already 6:18 I realised I have to set myself and be strong.
