Chapter 2 (The Attack)
After what seemed like decades, the monster had finally calmed down, and now was hopefully sleeping restlessly inside Jacob. Would Jacob ever get rid off this bewitching soul? Would it torture him till death arrives on the doorstep? The time passed like this as Jacob tried to figure out a reasonable answer to these questions. But, now he didn't care about them any longer. Gone were the days, where Jacob wasted his day and night in lingering loneliness. Now, that he had found his soul mate, he wasn't ready to loose her, yet. Jacob knew that one day, he would have to leave Delilah, and it was the best solution for her. He wanted her alive. He wanted her to grow old and live her life as a normal person. Yes, he wanted to be part of her future, but was it possible, especially if one day he would be the death of her? At a snail's pace, his legs carried him towards the landing, his knees trembling in fear. Fear of loosing her. He wanted to see if she was hurt. As he stumbled his way down the steady stairs, a low whimper escaped through his lips.
"Jake?" she mumbled suddenly appearing at his foot.
His eyes involuntarily stared at her face. The dark circles under her eyes were purple in pain and tears. Her usual rosy healthy cheeks were now heavily bruised with blue dark marks around her jaw. He had hurt her, again.
For a minute, he seemed to be completely unaware of the sharp knife in his tightening fist. His tortured eyes shut themselves, and the scarlet blood trickled down his hands splashing into the while carpet.
She gasped in horror. "Jake," Delilah screamed and snatched his hands open. "What is wrong with you?" She was shaking in terror as the tears seemed to flow unstoppably.
Finally, she was acting more human. He had wanted to see those tears and the fear, from deep down he had to make sure that she wasn't lost in another world. Suddenly, he grabbed her with his free hand and buried his head in her hair. He felt her hesitate with his action.
"Don't worry, it's all your Jake now!" he whispered and immediately her loose hands found the back of his head, tousling his hair.
"I'm sorry."
She inhaled his magical scent and captured his face in between her two hands. "Its fine Jake, don't apologize, nobody's perfect."
"You are Delilah. To me you're perfect in every way. That's why; I can't be with you Dee. You don't deserve a monster like me. Before I do anything that'd make me live my future life in regret and pain, I can't be with you. I want to, but I can't. Delilah, I don't know when I can be just me with you. You're never safe with me," he whispered.
"Don't, please Jacob, don't do this to me. Can't you see Jake? I'm not perfect, far from it. You may be a monster, but deeply you're only mine, it'll stay that way forever. Either way Jake, if you leave me, I'll die in pain, so you'll have to live with that regret and tenderness. Why can't you understand, that there will be no Delilah without her Jacob?" she cried shaking him vigorously.
"I don't want you falling for me Delilah, I'm dangerous," he muttered unable to meet her eyes. He knew that she would never fall for this lame excuse, but for her safety, he had to make her hate him.
"Oh shut up Jacob Hill or I'll punch that stupid mouth of yours," she growled. There was no possible way that Delilah Mason would ever hurt anyone physically. Jacob chuckled. Was this his Delilah? Or had she been abducted by some aliens?
"God, you're impossible," she snarled through gritted teeth and slapped his arm in frustration.
"And, you aren't?" laughed Jacob pulling her back into his arms. She sighed.
"Jake was that you or the monster talking?" she asked.
"Me I guess, but Delilah even you must know that I'm right this time."
"I do Jake, but I like a bit of a danger in a man, especially in you," she laughed teasingly.
"Well, then welcome to my world," he replied.
"Forever," she murmured, her head resting gently on his chest.
"As long as you want," he promised.

"Where are we heading to this time?" Delilah asked as she tangled her fingers with Jakes tightly gripping them. Today's incident has caused such shock and bewilderment to her: for some strange reason instead of feeling repelled to Jacob, she felt more attracted. Like they somehow connected again. She didn't know whether it was love or not. In fact, Delilah didn't even know what love was. Having such a condescending family like hers, she never managed to learn about comfort and true love, until she met the lousy Jacob with whom now, she felt complete.
"Not sure," Jacob replied sensing the tenseness in her soft baby alike fingers. "What's up doll?"
For the first time Jacob realized that she didn't hesitate or think twice before opening up to him, this made him feel safe and warm.
"Jake, if anything happens to me, will you make sure that you never leave my side? Even if I die, will you promise to bury me somewhere where your presence can at least hang above my corpse?"
Suddenly, his muscles tensed: his heart pounded unimaginably fast and his head felt like it would explode into millions of ceaseless pieces. This wasn't the first time she'd questioned this. He HATED it, actually he felt terrified when things like this popped out of her mouth. Why would see be so pessimistic all the time?
Abruptly, he stooped in front of her and pulled her shoulders roughly so they could be face to face. His expressions were deadly, but it didn't scare Delilah any more, she was gradually getting used to his funny moods now. And that annoyed Jacob, because he hated not being able to stop her from saying or even thinking about grudging things like this!
"Are you TRYING to kill me on purpose?" he barked, coarsely shaking her till a faint tear drop appeared in her beautiful eyes. Shit, now he had made her cry.
"I'm sorry," she whispered, gently looping her arms around his neck and resting her head on his muscular chest. "I'm sorry."
What's even worse was seeing her crying for Jacob especially knowing that it was due to him! It made him feel no worse than the monster inside him.
"Dee, when you say things like that, I die a little from inside," he whispered in her ears as the soft wind blew her silky hair across her face. "I couldn't live without you and hearing those things just makes me want to kill myself too. I don't want to lose you."
She smiled as a hint of reassurance shone on her face. "But, one day, let's face it, I'll have to die, right?"
He shuddered. "Nope," he whispered, tightly wrapping his arms around her delicate waist. "Then, we'll die together, that's how it works.
Just when she was absorbing herself into Jake's gorgeous slef, an unusual smell reached her.
Shit.
She knew what it was.
They were coming.
Getting closer.
Was this the end?
"Jake! THEY ARE COMING!!!" she screamed immediately pulling him towards the forest.
"Who is?" he asked bewildered by her horrified expression.
Why was he so pathetically stupid and blunt sometimes?
"Jake, the Mormons are approaching us! I can smell it in the air, they're here. I can hear their footstep..." she panicked. Before they had a chance to find a way to escape, they were trapped.
The Mormons stood viciously ahead of them.
There was no chance Delilah and Jacob could escape now.
"Missed us much?" sneered Nevil, leader of the pack and ferociously pulled Delilah out of Jacob's reach.
"Bitch," he whispered his nails digging into her pale ghostly skin causing crimson blood to trickle down. "You tried to mess with us? Fucking whore, watch how WE mess with YOU now!"
"Leave her!" growled Jacob, a spark of fiery reaching his face, he looked no scarier then a fearful monster.
Nevil and his pack laughed menacing. "Or WHAT?"
"Leave her."
The next thing that happened, no one was aware of. Out of nowhere, Nevil pulled out a sword and attacked Jacob's body, causing his to scream in wound and pain.
AS for Delilah...her heart dropped.
"JACOOOOOOOOOB!!!" she screamed, as the Mormons dragged her away with them.
