Unbroken: A Zayn Malik Fanfiction

Chapter Five

Zayn's P.O.V

Things have been getting better with Alli, I've been getting more used to being around her and I've gotten a schedule to feed without her knowing down. She usually sleeps till eleven or twelve and goes to bed at around twelve, it gives me plenty of time in between to sneak out and feed. It also gives me the chance to look around. I haven't gotten past that night, the night that changed everything. That day I found out what they had done to me, I vowed to hunt them down and so whatever I pleased until I felt like it was even. Yes being a vampire has its perks, your senses are heightened, you're quicker, and over all more powerful. Is it worth the price you have to pay? The urge to kill everything that walks by you, constantly being on edge, having people hunt you, you hunting others. I don't think it's worth it, I'd give anything to go back to that night. I'd change it all, I would've had me and Allison out of there days before those guys came, everything would be the way they used to be. Shes always telling me how glad she is to have things 'back to the way they were', but the fact is, it's not, it never will be. I'm stuck, frozen in time, she still has all her life in front of her. How do you protect someone? How do you care so much for someone? How dare you feel so happy around someone, when you should be on the other side of the world to keep them safe. I know I shouldn't have come, it was a risky move, but I missed her, I needed her. It was that night, that stupid night, it ruined everything. It ruined me.

Flashback Zayn's P.O.V

Everything hurt, but, not in the way it should not after what had just happened. It's an unexplainable pain, it's almost a sore feeling but at the same time, you completely manage to feel nothing. I had finally managed to put Allison to sleep, after everything she saw and heard I knew it should've been much harder than it actually was. Maybe she was just that worn out, or maybe she wanted to get away. It didn't matter, she was finally in a way, away from all this. I picked her up from the couch and almost threw her in the air, did she loose weight? When I managed to get her controlled in my arms I looked her over. She hasn't lost a pound, but she weighed nothing to me. My muscles must have been worn from the fight, I would probably need to lie under ice later. I carried her into her room and lied her in the bed pulling the cover up over her. She had seen me when I looked like a walking corpse, yet she still managed to push through and fix things. I hadn't met anyone stronger than her, I wouldn't admit it, but she was a hundred times stronger than me in every way. I stood there stroking her hair softly, I loved this girl, really I did. I furrowed my eyebrows when I noticed a vein in her neck, she didn't have that before, did she? I slipped my hand down and ran my thumb over it, I could feel my jaw pulse and I almost tightened my grip on her neck until she turned over hugging her pillow. I pulled my hand back quickly clenching my jaw only to cut my lip, I bit myself? I shuffled out of the room quickly closing the door softly. I almost fell back when I looked over at the mirror in the hall, what I saw, can't ever be forgotten. It was me, my body, it was my face structure, but it wasn't me at the same time. I took a step closer and ran my finger softly over my bleeding lip. My normally hazel eyes, were pitch black. Entirely. I blinked a couple times shaking my head, my eyes looked like a demons, no white on the sides, no hazel, just darkness. I winces when my jaw pulsed again and I opened my mouth only to throw my hand over it. Did I really see what I did? No, impossible. I opened my mouth again slowly, I saw it, it was possible. My usual straight tooth line, had two knife sharp fangs shooting down. I put my finger next to them and they were almost the size of my smallest finger, no wonder I tore my lip. I widened my eyes when I remembered my lip, which was now perfectly fine, as if nothing had happened. I looked back to Allison's door and felt an overwhelming urge to break it down, what happened to me? What the hell were those guys. I ran. I ran as fast as I could away from the apartment, away from Allison. I wouldn't hurt her, would I? It felt horrible, not being able to trust myself to not hurt a girl that I cared so much for. I ran straight into the forest near our apartment and instantly felt myself calm down. I felt my jaw relax and slowly clenched my jaw, sighing when I didn't feel anything stabbing at my lip. I closed my eyes and leaned against a tree lying my forehead against it. What would I do. How long could I keep myself from wanting to her her? Is the urge to hurt her, only going to get worse? I stood there, not wanting to see myself again. It wasn't me in that mirror, it wasn't me needing to tear into Allison's neck, I clenches my eyes and punched the tree. The trunk snapped and the tree bent over. I back I didn't go back, I stood there, staring at the tree, thinking. Thinking of how I almost killed the girl I loved. Thinking of what I had just seen in the mirror. Thinking of how my life, was done.

Zayn's P.O.V Present Time

I know I should try and move on, it would probably be good for me. How could I though? With two men who could come back any minute of any day. Two men who could go after Allison next. Two men, who might have hundreds of others, slowly creeping down on us. I can feel on edge, I feel the need to protect her. I know something's coming, I don't want to think about it, because I know when it does she'll know. She'll know about me, because ill die protecting her before any of them lays a finger on her.
