He didn't notice anybody around him until he could hear someone's steady breath behind him. He was so entranced by what he saw he never realised that someone had snuck up on him so he slowly turned his head and saw who it was. It was not a stranger but a friend, Elise, one of the only people to know that he comes to this place when something is bothering him. Knowing how this place used to hold many happy memories for him she can understand him coming here but all she can see is the painful memories he and everyone else had here. Nobody comes to this place anymore, ever since The Great Blaze. People don't want to be reminded of all they lost so they stay away hiding in the comfort of the walled cities. Something Jason doesn't like to do, he wants to remember the pain which has become a part of him.
When Jason knew who it was he just turned back around without talking so Elise asked "What's brought you out here today Jason?" She spoke with care and worry in each word while she moved to sit next to him and lay her head on his shoulder. Jason knew she did this to make him feel she was there for him so he rested his head on hers and spoke, "They try forgetting about this place and everything that happened here. Some even pretend this place doesn't exist. How can anyone do that. We both lost everything; our family, our friends, our home and our way of life so when I heard a guy pretend it didn't happen, I lost it!" He spoke calmly but Elise could feel his heart beating faster with every word he spoke. He then looked down to his right wrist and knuckles and raised it so she could see and there he had a grubby grey bandage with splashes of red wrapped from his wrist around to his knuckles. "I couldn't help myself and punched him straight in the face so hard my wrist buckled and knuckles opened. He collapsed and then his friends called the protectors so I ran here, somewhere no one looks." He knew Elise didn't like him fighting as he finally got out of that stage but there were some relapses.
For a while silence reigned between them as Elise never replied. The whistling of the wind avoided this place, the chirping of birds did not exist here and the hustle and bustle sounds of people disappeared from here with The Great Blaze. So they sat there just looking out at darkness and sadness as far as the eye could see. Elise opened her mouth to speak but then closed it again, unable to get the right words together. She opened her mouth again but Jason jerked away suddenly and got to his feet catching Elise by surprise. Then she heard a rustling noise. A noise which should not be there. She realised this is what caused Jason to move quickly so when she turned around she saw strangers.
Jason knew something was wrong because nobody comes out here especially to the hidden spot he had. There were five guys standing there all wearing the same ironed grey suit with red shirts but wore running trainers. They all had the same jarhead haircut, clean shave and sly grin but two of them were holding a syringe each. As Jason canvassed these guys Elise tried to speak but all five guys shrieked and ran at them both. Jason stood in Elise's way and shouted one word as loud and protective as he could "Run!!!" so with only a second of hesitation she ran. Quickly searching the ground there was a plank of wood near Jason's feet so he grabbed it and swung just in time to hit the first guy hard but couldn't quite hit the second guy with any force. The plank got knocked away so he tried fighting but a good punch here and there was not good against five guys. So when two split off to go after Elise, Jason had a chance. He slammed his body into the guy on his left causing a shooting pain in his shoulder but the guy collapsed. He hit the guy at the bottom of his rib cage which was the source of his pain. The next guy was holding him but his grip was loose since Jason slammed into the the first guy. So he dropped down low and flipped the guy onto his back and then turned to the last guy. As he turned he threw a punch at his jaw but the guy avoided it and threw a punch back. This one did connect and Jason was sent staggering backwards but he did stay on his feet. With the guy further away from him Jason thought about running away but he knew there were two more guys after Elise so instead he ran at the guy. When he was close enough he jumped and landed a superman punch directly into the guys nose. Instantly the guy collapsed so Jason ran for Elise but not before one of the guys on the floor stabbed his leg with the needle. Jason had no idea what it would do so he just kept running.
He ran far to find Elise and the other two guys were near her while she tried to fight them off. Elise was tough enough to be able to take on two guys but Jason needed to help. He tried running to her but his legs wouldn't move properly, things he saw started to move around like the floor was up and the sky was down. He kept watching her and trying to move but he just couldn't get to her. That's when they got her. She was stabbed by that needle and then they tried to restrain her. He tried screaming a threat at them but no words came out. He tried moving but his body wouldn't function. Then his eyes wouldn't stay open and the last thing he saw was her being forced down and her hands tied. I wasn't able to protect her like I promised was the last thought to go through Jason's head. After that painful thought everything became black and he faded away into nothingness.
