CONFRONTATION - PART 3

Jacob: So from now on you are to not get hurt or act recklessly, try starting over. It's not too late for you

He smiles at Carlos who nods his head in silence

Jacob: Oh one last thing, Rose didn't die because of you. Remember what she said before passing, "It wasn't your fault, we were just unlucky is all. I am happy to die here in your arms than with those monsters." You were in just such a rush you didn't take her words to heart then after she died, you were too shocked and overcome with grief to properly evaluate the situation

Carlos: But I couldn't-

Jacob: You can't save everyone... Not even your vampire goddess could save herself so what makes you think you can save yourself?

The man stretches out his hand to the boy

Jacob: Let's go back, everyone is worried about you

Suddenly Jacob coughs up blood, it lands on the ground and his shirt, a stream flowing down from the corner of his mouth to his chin. Carlos runs to Jacob but freezes then looks at his hands
