Chapter 79

Jeff's POV

Through the snow and dirt, I walked. Every now and then I would suddenly stumble over onto the ground but I always got back up. Things were quiet and I saw no sign of anyone or anything. It was as if the whole world went silent. I suffered from many wounds, but I'm not sure which are mild or critical. As long as I'm still breathing and walking, I'm completely fine. I hope.

I trudged and limped across the snow, leaving behind footprints. I held onto my side tightly as I was the most frail here. Probably just my broken ribs. Yeah, this is completely fine. I walked onto another street and, like all the rest, it was full of wreckage from the attack and there was no signs of life anywhere but me. My leg started acting up and I had to go off to the side and lean against a broken down car to rest. I huffed and massaged my thumbs into my leg to relieve a little bit of the pain. I hung my head and looked up at the sky, catching my breath. The sky still had a sickly color to it but at least it wasn't red anymore. Still, it made the wreckage look more morbid than it should. I stayed leaning against the car for a while to rest since I've been wandering non-stop up until this point. I stared up at the ill looking sky and let out a long sigh.

Just as soon as I had, a quick flash of red shot across the sky like lightning and a loud bang sounded. I cursed aloud in panic and stumbled down to a crouch, straining my sore legs. I looked around frantically for any enemies or any indication that I was screwed but nothing else happened. The only thing that did was the same red light flashing in other places in the sky. Where they flashed the sickly color of the sky disappeared to reveal a whiter and brighter color. Soon the whole sky was bright and white and looking how it should during winter. What's going on? Something must've happened. I stayed crouched down with my gaze turned up. Through the whiteness of the sky, I saw something falling down gracefully and gently. I held out my hand and let it fall into my palm. I took a look at it and realized that it was just a little snowflake. It soon began to melt from the warmth of my body and I felt another land on my nose. Soon it was snowing, little snowflakes dancing with each other in the air and meeting with snow down below.

I stood up straight and held out my hand to catch some more snowflakes. I stifled a small laugh and began making my way through the illuminated streets again. The snow looked much brighter than before and I was happy to have the morbid atmosphere disappear. Now things looked more...innocent. And that made me feel a lot better.

I got onto a new street and trudged through the snow, like I have done before. Snowflakes spotted my clothes and hair and every now and then I'd shake my head to get them out. I walked through silence and solitude, trying to find someone here, though I doubt any living things reside here after what happened. I definitely wouldn't give a second thought to this place.

I turned onto another street and walked through it. Then, through the stiff silence I heard a voice. I stopped dead in my tracks and listened in closely. It was a male voice. And it called my name. "Jeff...?! Is that you?! Jeff!" I slowly turned around and looked down the street. Through the falling snow I saw a figure. It definitely was a man. I kept looking at the figure as the features of the new person became clearer the closer he walks towards me. I felt relief swarm over me as soon as I recognized the man.

"Jack..." I breathed in awe and began moving towards him. I stumbled every few seconds but I kept making my way to him, feeling elation like never before. When I was almost about to reach him I fell over and he quickly scrambled to help me. I coughed and clawed at his jacket to get a firm grip. Jack got me back on my feet and held onto my arms to make sure I didn't fall over again. I looked at his mask and said, "Boy, am I glad to see you again."
