Chapter Four: Pictures
Most of us think that when darkness comes it brings peace, that the pain has ended and you're finally free. But In reality it wraps around your body and suffocates you in your fears. Your screams only heard by the monsters in your head, laughing at you as you struggle to break free from their grasp.
There is no freedom in the darkness there is only an endless pit of your darkest fears. Blending into the blackness around you, thinking you're safe when you let your guard fall, then they penetrate your soul. That's what's in the darkness. And the worst part is you're alone.
Trapped in my own mind fighting for the air my lungs craved, I cried out but could not hear my voice. As if I was trapped in space with no sound. But I was no longer cold, I felt heat on my skin like the sun was shining but couldn't be seen. Afraid to show its face in fear that the darkness would consume it too.
Bella
a voice, it came as a whisper so soft it couldn't possibly be real. Had the darkness claimed another victim? Was I finally not alone?
Bella please just open your eyes
no, I wasn't alone but that voice came from the outside. The place light could reach.
I fought and tired to free myself from the prison I was in. Slowly the light was finding its way to my soul, making me stronger, helping me break free. Could it be that my own personal sun had come to save me?
"Jacob" I whispered threw cracked lips.
"Bella! Bella can you hear me?" The fear in his voice made my static body shiver, the smell of his skin assaulting my senses. Slowly my eyes began to open and there was no more darkness. My hand lay upon his face, the roughness of his unshaven hairs prickling my palm.
"Jake?" I spoke hoarsely.
Placing his arm around my torso he pulled me into him, his chest against my back, and the beat of his heart melting my fears.
"Bella, what happened? Why were you in the woods alone?" He asked his words laced with hurt and alarm.
"Alice" I whisper almost inaudible.
"Alice! Was she the one who did this to you?" His body began to shake against me, rage coursing thru his veins.
But I couldn't move, I couldn't speak, how do you tell the one you love that he's going to die?
His face came into focus as he spun me around, locking his chocolate eyes with mine.
"Talk to me!" he yelled furry in his words
"Bella, you need to listen you are not going to slip away again! "He shook me faintly but it had no result.
"I'm not going to stand here and watch you let yourself go Bella! Not this time. "He stood from the seat body trembling as his eyes glazed over my catatonic state. Sighing and shaking his head he stormed to the kitchen, the feeling of something cold shocked my nerves, water cascaded down my face.
"Jake! What the fuck was that for?" I screamed clearing the water from my eyes.
"What do you mean what was that for? Bell I found you nearly dead in the middle of the forest floor" his body vibrated harder as the words flew from his lips.
"I'm done with all of this self pity, you can't; no you won't shut down on me anymore" he locked his eyes with mine, the hairs on my arms starting to rise. He grabbed my arms gently and pulled me up against his chest as his eyes still watching mine.
"You're everything to me, were in this together even if you want us to be or not and I'm not going anywhere" his breath brushing against my face, filling my senses with his sweet sent.
"And I won't let you destroy yourself in front of me" he brushed my hair behind my ear my body instantly reacting to his touch.
"Jake I-"kissing my lips he stop all my thoughts, pulling my body deeper into his chest.
"No excuses Bella, I'm done taking them" his eyes scanning mine for a sense of understanding. No words were spoken in that moment. They weren't needed, the warmth of his body pressed up against mine. My mind clear of any demons trying to linger, he scooped up my legs carrying me to his bed. Laid against him with the beating of his heart and the smell of his skin, I drifted peacefully in to my abyss with my sun by my side to keep the darkness away.
~~~~~~~~
Morning broke, the birds chirped, any memory of the darkness I encountered forgotten. Rolling out of the bed my feet met the soft floor of Jakes bedroom. Posters of motorcycles littered the walls, some replaced with pictures of us. Of our days at the beach, the days before the storm.
Warm arms wrap around my waist and hot breath tickled my neck. I breathed a sigh of content as his arms tighten around me, giving me strength to say the word that I needed to say.
"Jake, you need to call the pack" a somber look on my face as the words flowed out of my mouth. He looked at me with such clarity and understanding. Nodding his head as he walked out the door the howl of his wolf echoing thru the woods of La Push
I pull on the rest of my clothes, walking thru the bedroom door entering the small walk way to the living room only to look up and see the faces of the La Push pack.
