Finding Yourself

Chapter 5 - Darkness Within

One must have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.

~Friedrich Nietzsche

Chapter 5 - Darkness Within

The drive to the my apartment was silent Tessa didn't say a word to me and I didn't ask any questions. There was still blood on my hands and I couldn't control the tears as they fell from my eyes, they were silent tears. I wanted to find answers about the man that Jacob fought with, how he knew the man, and the mystery person that had the most striking unnatural green eyes.

"Bella lets get you inside the apartment" I saw my small little crumpled apartment come into view.

I wiped the tears from my eyes before I got out the door, she was already ahead of me and that saved me the trouble from getting pity looks if she saw my tears. She had a key to my apartment so she didn't bother to ask for mine.

"I'll go and get your bath ready, why don't you pick a set of clean clothes" she headed towards the bathroom getting the bath ready while I went into my room took out some clean clothes and lay it on the bed.

"The bubble bath is ready" she hollered from the bathroom. I didn't feel like being alone without her and after all I have being through a little company would be nice.

Can you join me? " I was at my weakest and I'd preferred her comfort right now. She didn't argue with me just gave me a smile as she joined me in the bathtub.

"Turn around, I'll scrub your back" I did as she instructed giving her my back.

"What you saw in the parking lot was never mean't for you to find out" she whispered as she gently scrub my back .

"Turn around" I turned my body she grabbed my hands turned my palms face up and began wiping the blood stains.

"There are some things in this world that aren't meant to be found out" we stared into each other's eyes for a few seconds before she went back to scrubbing my hands.

"When the time is right we'll tell you everything, for now I need you to be strong." we stayed in the bath till the water got cold then headed to bed.

"Tess, will Jacob be okay?" it took her a while to reply back I was beginning to lose hope that Jacob was okay I turned around to the other side not wanting her to see me like this. I closed my eyes trying to make myself sleep.

"He'll be okay" were the last words I heard before everything went blank.

Jacob POV:

"You aren't healing quickly" the clan doctor said as he examined the wound from last night.

"It shouldn't have taken this long" my body felt weak and I didn't understand why. Injuries this minor should have healed, but for some reason it was taking longer then expected.

"Do you think Damon may have a reason to this doc?" I asked

"I'm afraid so Jacob..." the bastard poisoned me! that was the only solution I could come up with. It must be that because there is only one thing that can hurt my kind.

"Do we have the antidote?" the words came out harshly as I tried to speak. I couldn't move any muscles in my body and the fever made it hard for me to think clearly.

"This type of poison doesn't have a antidote we can find, only the person who made the poison will know how to treat it" Damon wasn't making this easy for me, he wanted me to suffer and he sure is doing a heck of a job at that.

I wasn't happy I wanted to shake the useless doctor till he told me there was a cure. Suddenly the door to my room opened and came in was the clan leader, Steven.
