Chapter 11 - Act I. End of a day

"Zick! Are you darn alright?!"

"I... I hope fuckin' so..."

"Ah. There is that good old fuck word you darn use!"

Zick stays quiet. Picking up a rock which flew off from the shattered wall. Throwing it across the room.

"Hmm... yeah..."

Jack slowly sits next to his young brother from his right. Beginning to show how tired and exhausted he is from all the action that happened ever since their house got invaded by the mysterious woman.

"Listen.."

Jack says so while looking down to the floor, just like his brother does. Giving out a big sigh, he asks Zick about torment.

"So... you saw him darn too?..."

"Ye-yes.."

"How? You know what the darn hell is he?"

"N-no..."

"Listen. I didn't mean anything to darn happen. I'm just sorry... kinda bad at darn apologies but you know..."

Zick cuts off Jack with a loud response. Showing signs of shivers in his voice.

"It's not about that any fuckin' more. First, we found out that both mafias are after us. And now, we find out that there is some sort of ghost demon thingy is with us, or at least with you when it wants to?"

Jack leans a bit to the back, shrugging his hands as he says nervously.

"Well... sort of.. but, look at the brighter side. Sam showed in his darn letter that he'll try to be nicer to you. He's just darn programmed to be competitive. You know..."

Zick bursts to sadness as he begins to shout with a depressed tone.

"It-it's not fair. It's not fuckin' fair that he's programmed like that. It's not fair that some robots have just a fuckin' determined fate to live and a determined way of life to live just because something higher said so.

We are all determined to do one thing when we can all do fuckin' more but that's how life is. Ain't it?

Why we get the mind that can go many ways but our body will only let us go one way? Why? It just isn't fair. Not fuckin' fair in a bit.

Just look at me. Arms that are twice the length of my body while my legs are like a midget's. Just tell me exactly why was I built like this? Just one good fuckin' reason."

Jack looks at Zick as he picks up another rock that flew off from the shattered wall.

"I... I don't know... I don't darn know Zick..."

Jack says so while turning his head to the rock. Looking at it for a few seconds.

"I don't darn know..."

After throwing the rock. hitting the other side of the room. Zick replies to Jack again with a bit calmer tone yet still tired.

"It has been like what? Two hours? Two fuckin' hours since you woke up in the hospital until now. The hour is almost 21:00! All through this two hours was only fuckin' chaos. And who knows what will happen next. I'm just... I just want to sleep... get this day over with..."

Jack gives a little smirk as he replies to Zick with a tired tone as well.

"Kinda funny how day and night goes around here isn't it? The atmosphere is clear so it's always night looking and the moon doesn't spin. So we just call it a day if we see earth's west side and day if we see it's east side. Kinda funny how it works here isn't it?"

Zick gives out a small giggle as he looks up for a bit. Beginning to talk in a calmer voice as his older brother calmed him down.

"Hehe. Yeah. I guess it is kinda funny..."

Jack leans forward a bit and puts his hand on Zick's shoulder. Giving a little bit bigger smirk than before.

"Glad you darn think so."

"We're going to have a long talk about this fuckin' demon guy too tomorrow right?"

"Probably. Unless he was just our darn imagination... but that's very unlikely."

"Yep..."

Both of the brothers lie down on the stage. Getting ready to sleep like babies.

"Well... this day was darn rough but hopefully the next day it will be alright. Right Zick?"

Zick looks at Jack and then turns around. Asking Jack a dark question.

"Will we... will we get separated or... will something bad happen to one of us?..."

Jack looks up with a question in Zick's words. Hoping that nothing of some sort will.

"No... nothing will separate the darn power of two brothers. Nothing."

"Well. Goodnight Jack."

"Goodnight Zick."

The two brothers fall asleep as suddenly, Torment appears next to Jack. Whispering while backing away with a big, menacing smile.

"Goodnight... Jack... hehe..."

Torment quickly vanishes to dust. While so. The brothers, Sam and the hacked lady, are all sleeping. Going through the night with ease.

And so the night passed with no one attacking. A peaceful night as surprising as it is for the ones who are sleeping in Sam's house and for the ones which are reading this epic tale...
