Stranger Things Happen

Chapter Twenty Four

Alex's POV

"I'm a what?" I asked as my head snapped toward him.

"An entity. Its a very powerful force amongst our world. The first entity was used to create the first vampires, my ancestors. She's the head of your family, or was."

"Okay. So um why does everyone want me? Like why was or is Jiall so obsessed with me?"

"Because you're the key."

"The key to what?" I asked cautiously.

"To vampires becoming human."

"What?!" I screamed.

"You're a cure for vampirism. If the wrong people get their hands on you they will use you in a spell to cure vampires."

"All vampires?"

"Yes all vampires. Including me. And also including Louis, who if cured of vampirism will turn to dust. Halfbloods can't remain alive without their vampirism. I can't lose him. And I can't lose you." He said with hurt in his voice.

"Lose me? How?"

"Since your blood is part of the spell to cure vampires it is also part of the spell to create vampires. So once they use you to cure vampirism they'll kill you so no more vampires can be made." I gasped and he turned to me. "But I'm not gonna let that happen." He assured me.

I turned my head and looked out the window for the rest of the silent drive home. Just weeks ago I had a normal life, homework, crushes on boys, friends, and now I'm part of some freaky arse ritual for some royal bitches who then want to kill me. This is just great.

We arrived back at his beachside mansion and as we reached the house he parked his car and got out. Within a second he was at my door opening for me. This entity thing is really screwing with my mind.

I stepped out of the car and while Niall was shutting the door I tripped and felt my ankle crack, collapsing to the ground.

"God dammit!" I yelled.

"Alex!" He said as he spun and looked at me. "Are you alright." He asked.

"Yeh. I think I rolled my ankle though." I replied as he tried to help me up but as soon as I put pressure on my ankle I immediately fell back to the ground.

"You can't walk. Try not to put pressure on it from now on. I'll strap it when we get inside." He said, his eyebrows furrowed as he examined my sore ankle.

He placed his arms underneath me as he hoisted me up, holding me wedding style as he walked inside. He sped up the stair and to my room before gently placing me on my bed. He then sped away again.

Within a second he was back with a first aid kit. He opened it and retrieved a bandage and a bottle of some sort. He placed them on the bed and I realised it was a bottle of anti-swelling cream. I winced as he began to take off my shoe, I bit my lip to stop from screaming until he finally had the shoe off of my foot. He then quickly strapped it after he applied the cream. After Niall was finished he stepped over to my closet and disappeared inside.

"What are you doing?" I asked curiously. Silence. He answered my question when he came back with pajamas in his hand.

"I'll let you get changed, and then I'll be back to say goodnight." I nodded before he left the room.

I struggled to pull my jeans down but eventually I some how managed after pulling, tugging, and silently cursing numerous times. I whipped my top off and then put the new PJs on before yelling to Niall that he could coke back in.

The door clicked open before he peeked around my door, timidly walking back inside. Once he reached the bed he sat down beside me.

"Well I should probably let you get some rest." He said as he lent down and kissed me on the forehead.

I tugged on his arm as he was getting up so that he fell back onto the bed. He chuckled before his eyebrows raised and his eyes looked into mine.

"I don't want to sleep alone." I shyly said.

It seemed like a silly thing for an eighteen year old to say, but I generally felt scared, terrified even.

Niall slid in, under the blankets, next to me. He pulled me to his chest and let his arm rest around me. I fell into a deep sleep, and I somehow knew I would sleep like a baby for the first night since I got here.
