"Did you get to talk to them last night?" Harry asked as he poured milk into his lucky charms.

"I talked to Ashely after Liam was done fighting." I reply.

"Are you see serious? I tryed to talk to them last night but they were sleeping!" Harry has sarcasm in his vocie.

I laugh and ask, "How have you been?"

"I guess you can say good." Harry took a bite of his cereal.

"Good..but?" I trail off, waiting for him to say more.

"Well Liam is pushing me more. He said if anything happens to him that I'm become leader. But what if I don't want to be leader?" Harry says annoyed.

"Harry, Liam can't push you into anything." I say.

"Louis, Liam is stronger than all of us! He could kill me with one touch! I miss the old Liam but everything changed when Danielle died." Harry sighs.

"I know, he's just very emotional. You have to imagine it from his side. He lost someone he loved very dearly." I state.

"Payzer is like the titanic, a ship, nobody thought would end." Harry starts to spin his spoon in the milk.

"He may act like a major ass but I promise everything will change." I held my pinky out.

"Promise?" Harry questions.

"Promise." I wrap my smaller pinky around Harry's large one.

Harry smiles then takes a bite of his cereal. "Thanks Lou."

"For what?" I ask.

"For being an amazing friend." Harry puts his bowel in the sink.

'Friend' echoes in my mind.

"Y-you're welcome." I choke.

"Besides we have an interview today. Let's get out of this grumpy mood." Harry looks over to me. "Are you okay?" He questions.

I didn't say anything. I just stared at the floor. Harry walks over to me and cups my face.

"Lou, you're very pale. What's wrong?"

"It's, um, nothing, just tired. " I reply.

Harry and I walk upstairs, to my room.

"Well we can't sleep." Harry smirks.

"I know. I know. Stupid interview." I groan.

Harry laughs and sits on my bed.

"We can watch a movie." He suggests.

"Okay, what movie?" I ask, walking to my tv.

"How about... The Conjuring!" Harry screams.

I put the the DVD in the DVD player. I then went to the bed and got under the covers with Harry.

"Too bad we don't have popcorn." Harry smirks.

"Oh how good it would go with this movie!" I laugh.

~30 minutes later~

I look over at Harry, of course he is sleeping. I heard the door bell ring.

"I'm coming!" I yell, I running down the stairs. "I'm coming home." I say again then opened the door.

A girl who looked to be in her 20's stood in the door way. Her dark hair was pulled up into a ponytail. She was dressed in an officers suite.

"How may I help you?" I ask.

"I'm Jessica Norton. Work with the FBI and we are investigating a murder that happened last night. Do you know anything about it?" Jessica asked.

"Murder? Um, no I don't know anything." I reply.

"Are you sure? You didn't see or hear anything?" She pushed more questions at me.

"I'm sure. Where did it happen?" I ask.

"Thats confidential. Where were you last night?"

"I was here making dinner.. are you accusing me of killing someone?" I ask in disbelief.

"I don't know, am I?" Jessica squints her eyes.

"Miss Norton, I can assure you, I'm not capable of killing a human."

Lie, I'm more than capable to kill anything.

"I know sir. It's my job to question people. This town is being on a close watch. We are worried someone or something 'bit' this person." Jessica says.

"What's the name of the person who was killed?" I asked.

"Adam Griffin." She replied.

I freeze. That's Ashely's friend.

"His father is mourning for his sons loses. His furneral is this Saturday. Everybody is invited."

"I will go. I'm really sorry." I look down at my shoes.

"Have you seen this girl? Ashley Price?"

Again, I freeze. I look at the paper she is holding. 'Wanted' was in big bold letters, Ashely's picture was underneath it. $30,000,000 reward to whoever finds her.

"Ashely is accused of murder. You know, homeless, and desperate. So desperate that she might have have killed her best friend." Jessica says.

"Nope. I haven't seen here. I have to be going." I choke.

"Okay. Thanks for your help." She smiles and walks to her car. I watch her drive off.

Bitten? Is there more vampires that we don't know about? Did we forget a body?

I close the door as I heard light footsteps walk downstairs.

"Hey Ashely. " I smile.

"Hey Lou. Who was at the door?" She asked.

"A detective." I reply.

"Detective?" Ashley says in surprise.

"Yeah. Someone was murdered." I say cool.

Was I really going to tell her that Adam was the victim? No, that would break her fragile heart!

"Oh.. where is everyone?"

"Liam, Niall and Zayn are hunting. Harry is in my room sleeping." I start to dig through the fridge.

"Hunting what?" Ashley's face went white.

"Animals! Duh! We only hunt humans at night!" I smile to her.

Ashley looks terrified.

"Oh Ash, I'm only joking! We're vegetarians!" I playfully punch her arm.

She laughs.

"Theres the laugh I've been waiting for!"
