Something There
(())
Even in the deepest darkness there will always be a light, even if it's just a spark. If one was to believe in that light it would illuminate the darkness leaving it but a shadow on the wall. But can the darkness truly be defeated?

I swallowed hard, hoping that what I was about to ask wouldn't get a negative reaction. "Jason, I want to know, is there going to be a time when I can leave Crystal Lake?" I didn't mean it to sound like I'd never return and that's exactly what he took it for. Jason shook his head violently and pushed me down to the bed. "Jason I do need to have some connection to the world outside this camp ground..." I informed gently he just pushed me back again. What I meant was so I could keep my promise to the children, so I could see them again. He bolted up and started throwing a hissy fit. He began to throw his arms around and knock things over. He also picked things up and threw them. Once he was done he straightened up and left, slamming the door behind him. "Fine, forget my promise, I'm leaving!" I called in a agitated tone. He is so stubborn, he should give someone a chance to explain things instead of jumping to conclusions. I ran out of the hut and into the darkness of the forest.
It seemed like it had been hours that I wondered around the waves of trees. It began to be blanketed by mist and I got a little disoriented. I heard wolf cries and began to walk faster until I encountered something - rather someone which made my skin crawl. Siegfried. I backed away and it seemed like I would lose.
"Well look what we have here, a lost little kitten?" Siegfried slurred, not only was he drunk, but I don't think he knew who I was. I prayed that he would just fall down and pass out. Unfortunately that wasn't God's plan because he started towards me. "If you be a good little girl, I promise I won't hurt you." He laughed his insane laugh and brought out a hunting knife. God what's with him and Lucifer with knives? I began to turn around when I cried out in agony as pain shocked through my left shoulder blade. Blood began to fall freely and stream down my arm. I began to back away, but every step I took he countered with one as well. "How beautiful you look with the blood flows down your arm. It highlights your hair." He stumbled and brought me down with him.
"Siegfried, go away, please?" I begged as tears formed in my eyes. He clawed his way up so he could meet my gaze. He seemed angry at how he stumbled and slashed my scratch over my breasts open. He was torturing me because he blamed me for his fall. He began to slide the blade under my dress and cut it open. "Please don't ruin the dress..." I whimpered both in pain and undergoing the sorrow of my gift being torn by this monster.
"Awe, does the little princess not want her dress ripped apart?" He cackled manically as his wrist snapped exposing my breasts. I turned my face in shame as well as hiding my tears from him. The children worked so hard on this and now it's ruined... It was my only tie and it was torn.

He had finally calmed down from his rage then he heard his mother speak up, "Jason, she just wanted to leave because she promised the little children she would visit them..." Now he understood, he had mistaken the truth for a wrong conclusion. He felt guilty and began to look for Bella, the only woman - aside from mother - that showed him kindness and cared about him. He ventured across his forest ground when he heard something tugging at his ears.
"Awe, does the little princess not want her dress ripped apart?" A man cackled manically as a tearing sound echoed to Jason's ears. He rushed and came to a clearing, and what he saw truly made him angry. A man was on top of Bella, his beautiful Bella, with her chest exposed he saw tears falling. He examined a bit more and was almost at a manic rage when he was Bella's arm and chest cut, not-to-mention bleeding. Her dress was ruined, the gift she got from the good children. He growled under his mask as he came out of the forest and drew his machete. When he was about to strike, the man turned and began to rapidly puncture Jason's stomach. He groaned silently and gripped the man by the neck. The man then began to cut up Jason's arm and blood sprayed out meeting the mans face. Jason would make this man suffer for the pain he made Bella endure. Finally Bella's eyes went up and looked to Jason. "Let go of me you freak!" The man cried, yes that is what he was, someone far from normal.
"Siegfried!" Bella called as she slowly stood, gripping her shoulder blade. The man named Siegfried turned to Bella and spat at her. Jason brought his other arm up and shoved it through Siegfried's chest and ripped out his heart. This was the man that killed Bella's mother, and he wanted to make him suffer. He dropped him and began kicking his face in, only stopping when all the flesh was peeled off leaving nothing but muscle and bone. Once Jason was satisfied he turned to Bella and his anger was gone. He felt something that he hasn't felt since his battle with Freddy - weakness. Jason fell to his knees and landed on the ground unconscious.

"Oh, Jason..." I whispered, "You used a lot of energy fighting him... Thank you..." I uttered kissing the top part of the mask. "No one has ever fought for me like you have tonight..." I smiled down at him. I guess I should bring him home and start dressing his wounds. My face flushed as I remembered my breasts were out in the open and gently tugged his coat off. "I hope you don't mind, Jason..." I began to use what energy I had to lift him. My God he was heavy, but he was a big boy after all. I began to giggle and drag him.
After a couple hours, I was just metres away from the shack when Jason began to wake up. He slowly looked up at me and I smiled down at him. "Just relax big guy, we're almost there." I informed as we were near the door. Jason, stubborn as he usually is, lifted me up and brought my into the house. He gently placed me on the bed and started examining my cuts. "Jason, do you have like a spare shirt or something?" I asked as my face returned to red. Jason looked confused but then remembered my whole exposure. He left me for a minute only to return with a long white shirt. I nodded a thanks and motioned him to turn around. He nodded and did so. I slowly removed his jacket and placed the shirt over top my bare chest, only to pull off the dress, thankfully I had short shorts on. "Ok Jason, you can face me again." I guessed it was better that he saw me without a bra then exposed, but my blush never left. I handed him the jacket back. "Now to dress your wounds!" I exclaimed as I tore off a piece of the ruined silk. I reached into my bag and pulled out rubbing alcohol. "This will hurt, I'm not going to lie, so be brave ok..." I whispered as I poured some of the cleanser onto the material and began to dab him wound. A growl came from his throat and he pulled away. "If you'd hold still, it wouldn't hurt as much!" I countered. I went close again and he grabbed my hand growling, "If you hadn't frightened my by getting angry, I wouldn't have run away!" I sighed and looked in his eyes. "You should really learn how to control your temper..." I muttered as I dabbed it gently and slowly. "Thank you... For saving my life again..." I smiled up at him, and he nodded down to me in acceptance.
After I tended to his cuts, I faced him and smiled. "You should get some rest, it's been a long day for both of us." He nodded and laid on the bed beside me, on his side. "To help you, I will sing something to send you peacefully to Slumberland. It's called 'Something There,' from the movie 'Beauty and the Beast.'" I mentioned as I laid down and faced him. He seemed like he kind of understood the basis of it and it made my heart happy. "See when I saw you so angry at my question, you were violent and it seemed like nothing could calm you, so I figure its the best song to sing." I inhaled deeply and began, "There's something sweet and almost kind, but he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined. But now he's dear, and so unsure - I wonder why I didn't see it there before." I paused noticing he was looking away, ashamed. "Jason, it's true you even see yourself as a monster, but I hope I can show you the light - as I did Jacob." I lectured with a smile and began the final part, "New and a bit alarming, who'd have ever thought that this could be? True that he's no Prince Charming, but there's something in him that I simply didn't see." I finished with a deep breath and was welcomed by Jason leaning in close. My face began to flush and leaned and placed a gentle kiss where his lips would be. "Good night, Jason..." I silently wished as my eyes too felt heavy and slipped into dreamland.
