Posey would never judge him for what he was. In fact she could accept him and love him all the same, it was more the fact that she wasn’t told, that’s the part that got her a little up in arms, yes she had to admit that she was a little scared of the unknown but who wouldn’t be? Who approached say a vampire, or a werewolf or perhaps both with confidence? If they did then Posey thought they were sure to be a little on the mental illness side but either way the femme was just trying to wrap her head around exactly what had just happened in the last hour, the fact that someone had robbed her store, held her at gunpoint and then her best friend is apparently something other then human-… fantastic
Knowing this information could get her hurt but so could he if he got too close or got too angry-… for what she knew ofwerewolves which could be complete hokem at this point if he was anything but; “You say you did this to protect me, that the information I know could hurt me but what about you Jake? You could hurt me? And I’m not saying with your-… whatever it is that you have. You’ve hurt me by not telling me-… you’ve hurt me by not trusting me with this information. I mean-… did you think about that? I’ve been hurt so many times by so many different people but I never thought it would be byyou” Jacob was suppose to be her safe place where if everything else was going to shit then he was the one person she wanted to run to; “Well how am I suppose to trust anything else you say now? When a person keeps something from someone else especially something like this-… everything else about them becomes questionable and surrounded in doubt”
She would keep his secret, and that was something that he always knew, which meant that the reason why he didn’t tell her, was not that, as he trusted her enough to tell her, but in the world, there were many bad people, and a lot of them, were not human, a lot of them were vampires, as most vampires were not exactly nice people. A lot of them, would do absolutely anything to gain power. A lot of them wanted to become hybrids, and his blood, could turn them, so if they knew that she knew a hybrid, they could end up even torturing her, so she would tell them who he was. It was exactly the same reason why super heroes kept their secret identity even from people they were close to, it was exactly the same.
In a perfect world, he would have been able to tell her, but they weren’t living in a perfect world, “You don’t understand, Posey, the reason why I didn’t tell you, it’s not because I don’t trust you, I trust you with my life, I didn’t tell you, for the same reason why Superman hid for so long, his secret identity from even his closest friends. I did it, because knowing this, could attract many bad people,” he didn’t want to scare her, but it was the truth, he didn’t want to hide that from her, because knowing, could help her to protect herself. He wanted her and Violet to prepare themselves, wanted to tell them their weaknesses, so they could use it against them, in case they tried anything, “Posey, please, I’m the same, I’m the same Jake. I’m the same guy that knows you since you were a kid, that took care of you so many times, that gave you, your first kiss, I’m the same, you can’t trust me,” he wanted to hug her, hold her hand so much, but was scared that would scare her away.
