(2 hours before Louis was kidnapped)

Zayn's POV

What is life? What is the true meaning of life? What is the purpose of this strange theory of life? The truth is we have many choices in life but what about after life? Well I'm dead-ish. Afterlife is not a huge deal to me anymore. To Olivia that theory of the walking dead seems more real everyday that she is with us, but is it what's best for her?

I felt like I had been pondering the questions of life forever, no pun intended, when I hear the sound of laughter downstairs. Liv and Niall just got back and they we laughing at who knows what. That's what I like about her. She has a smile that can light up a room and a laugh just as infectious as her smile.

I could hear small footsteps inching closer to my door.

"Zayn? You in there?", a soft voice called from beyond the hardwood, a small knock following suit.

She's such a closed off person when you first meet her but under that strong metallic shell, she's as soft and delicate as a rose.

"You can come in", she steps into view. Breathtaking as usual, even with her hair up, in a tank top and grey joggers. She looked nervous, a bit shaken.

I would be too if I hadn't been dealing with all of this, for more than one hundred years. It takes a toll on your mind at first, but you start to gradually accept and deal with the fact that many of the things people try to dismiss as legends are true. Olivia is defibetly headstrong and I knew that she would put up a front as though she was alright and okay with all of this.

"Love, come here. Tell me what's bugging you." I beckoned her over to me on the bed. She walked over then lay down next to me on the comforter. I played with the strands of gold that adorned her perfect head as she started to vent.

"Zayn, you're so easy to talk to I feel like you understand what I'm going through and you probably do. Everything that I thought was made up or fake, just a story told to kids for them to behave or to spook them. It's all true and I thought that I could handle that but I just-" I cut her off.

"Olivia Summers, you are the most amazing, strong, understanding person I have ever met. It just takes time to adjust. And well I have all the time in the world, literally, to help you understand all of this. You will get used to it and when you do, it's going to be something amazing." I really say what I mean when I talk to Liv, she makes me feel calmer by just seeing her. All I have to do is help her realize that everything gets better.

She sighed.

"Time. Such a weird thing. My take on that is that time passes and life goes on, nobody ever has time to do this or that but when it comes down to it, I think time is still going to pass and you can't change that. No one has a say in whether time goes by or not it just goes." Well she's in for a treat. I smile.

"Well Liv, my look is that time gradually passes but life does pause at times," she looked at me puzzled.

I took her hand and motioned her to follow me. We went onto the roof and stood there. I looked at her, he beautiful eyes were shining in the setting sun. I gently took her hand in mines and gave it a small squeeze. Then I did something that astonished her to say the least.

I paused time.

The world stood still, everything catatonic besides the two of us. I could see Harry and Niall sitting outside on a bench, Niall looked very confused, while Harry just looked annoyed. I'm guessing they were listening in on our conversation.

"H-How did you stop time?" She stuttered out in disbelief.

"I've been working on it for a while now and I saw the perfect time to try it out", I smiled as she smiled in wonder and amazement. Gosh her smile is contagious.

"It's amazing, Zayn. Thank you for showing me. Do they know about it yet?" She motioned to the boys.

"No, not yet. This'll be our little secret for now", she nodded and sat down on the roof. As she sat down, some of the tiles shook loose and she fell off the roof.

Olivia's POV

As I sat down on the roof, the tiles came off and I slid down. As I awaited my impact on the ground, it never came. I landed in strong tattooed arm. My time freezing prince charming.

"Thank you...for catching me", I got lost in those hazel eyes of his.

"I would never let you get hurt. Remember that," He said looking into my eyes and straight to my heart. He gently placed me onto my feet again. I smiled and was about to walk back inside when a hand pulled me back and into soft lips. Time resumed around us and they boys seemed to notice us because they all came crowding around.

"What's going on out here?" Louis asked furiously. I was taken back and didn't really know how to respond, so me being me, I just stood there. Stupid Olivia, stupid.

"Calm down mate", Niall tried to reason with Louis but it only infuriated him more.

"No, I will not calm down when one of my best mates is out here kissing the girl that I love"

"We all love her, but it's not going to do anyone any good if you're jealous all the time," Zayn tried explaining to Lou but it was just adding fuel to the fire.

Louis jumped on Zayn and started throwing punches at vamp speed. The other boys pried him off and he took off faster than lightning. I went to Zayn and got the medical supplies, Lou damaged him pretty badly.

I hope Lou is okay...

Louis' POV

Ugh! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Why did I have to hit him? Now she'll just be all over him and taking care of him and his stupid deep and perfect self.

I decided to take a walk to try and calm myself down and I was so wrapped up in my thoughts I failed to realize there was a man following me.

When I realized it was already too late. I was a fairly open target sitting by this random grassy bank. My mind was so far from everything else I was blocking out surroundings which was ultimately my downfall.

Travis grabbed me and threw my into his ominous black van. Quite the stereotype this lunatic is. He had his men chloroform me and then I blacked out.

(PRESENT TIME)

I had been in Travis' basement for hours and there was nothing but mold and cobwebs down here. I though Liam and the others would've been here by now but no sign of life anywhere. Except the roaches. Fucking roaches.

Suddenly I heard the bang and click of the door opening. In walked the devil himself.

"Travis", I spat. He smirked. This psychopathic loon.

"Louis, a pleasure to meet you again. How's the precious Olivia?" He smirked again. I really want punch him in the neck. I thrashed again against the ropes, leading to more burns and blisters on my arms.

"I wouldn't struggle too much. Those ropes are drenched in linchen. You probably haven't even had a run in with it. You all hole yourselves up in your cabin in the woods. Linchen is a good old anti-vampire serum, and those ropes are doused in it." I struggled again only to be burned once more. I let out a small angry scream. He tsked at me.

"Oh Louis. You'll never learn will you? Well I'll just have to teach you about it wont I. Linchen is especially toxic if inhaled," he said picking up a small scrap of rope that was laying carelessly on the floor. He produced a small lighter from his back pocket and lit the end of it on fire. "Every breath you take will feel like shards of glass scraping your nasal passages and esophagus," He shoved it in front of my face and suddenly I couldn't breathe.

Imagine breathing through a pin sized hole while nails scraped your throat, that's what this felt like. My breaths became shallow and I blacked out once more.
