. the darkest night's secrets .
Sometimes, Jacob does things that he's not proud of; he's been doing a lot of that lately. And even though he knows that his father will be extremely disappointed with him, Jacob doesn't have the will, or want, to stop what he's doing. The night's become the only time where he feels safe, where he can hide from the ugly truths of the world that he's stuck living in
At night, Jacob can forget everything, because the night is the only time when he's left to himself. The night hides the secret he's keeping from his family, his friends, and Jacob wishes that he didn't have to hide it, but he does. If they were to come out with it, then it would probably mean war.
Jacob doesn't want to lose the blond vampire who he's fallen so desperately in love with.
It was intrigue at first, he'd seen the vampire flitting about in the woods, and he'd wondered who he was, what he was. Eventually, Jasper had revealed himself to Jacob, and the two had slowly formed a bond that couldn't be broken as they fell in love. And while Jacob knew that he was breaking every law, rule, and tradition to do with his tribe, he doesn't care.
But knowing about the secret world of vampires is putting his life at risk, not only with his own family and tribe, but with the supposed royalty of the vampire world as well. If the Volturi were ever to find out, then that would leave Jasper and himself with only two choices. Either Jacob would have to be changed, become one of them, or he would simply have to die. It was that simple; a black and white decision with no shades of grey.
And Jacob would gladly make that change, because he knows all too well that if he were ever to die, Jasper wouldn't be too far after him. He loves Jasper too much to want that sort of fate for him.
The night, though, lends a peace and a tranquility to them. Jasper lies behind Jacob, carefully holding the human he holds so dear to him, and Jacob feels absolutely safe and protected. There is nowhere else in the world that he'd rather be then right where he is.
He can forget about all of the decisions and the fate looming over their heads at night, because those are thoughts for daytime and when he's alone. Jasper doesn't need to know about how Jacob plans to ask him for eternity when he's older, in just a little over a year. He doesn't want to wait until he's eighteen, that's too long and puts them both at too much risk.
Jacob knows he himself is living on borrowed time, he wants to be a vampire before he makes the change into one of Jasper's mortal enemies. He doesn't want something so simple as that to tear them apart.
If given the choice between vampire and werewolf, he would pick vampire every time. Well, if only to be with Jasper, he wouldn't want to live without him.
The night is reserved for just the two of them, the problems that face them can wait until morning.
FIN.
