Monster ~a.b

thirty-nine

Alana POV

As Niall sat there, turning gray I couldnt help but feel hopeless. I held Katie close to me as she wept, she was the one who found him after all. Austin paced the floor as Liam injects him with yet another syringe of salt water. Vampire bodys work differently, They cant take antibiotics or different medical procedures due to the hard skin, no blood or pumping heart. So we waited.

"How long will this take"? Harry asked, handing Austin a glass of water. He took it from him, handing it to me.

"Drink". He demanded.

I gave the water to Katie, keeping my gaze on Niall. I wasnt mad at him, I was upset. I understood that he was worried about his friend, but yelling at me wasnt necessary. I feel bad for making it like that but its true. All I wanted to do was help and his words really hurt me.

"I give it another ten minutes and I'll add more salt water. Other then that it's a waiting game". Liam spoke.

"Why cant you take him to the hospital, what kind of sick people are you". Katie bursted out, standing up and going to Niall.

"Katie, stop". Niall groaned.

"No. He needs real doctors, not some guy who has a bag of medications". She hissed and kicked liams bag. After that a small bottle of blood rolled out. Then two more. Her eyes glued to the bottles, looking at Liam.

"Is that blood"? She asked.

Nobody answered and it made her angry.

"Why do you have bottles of all your blood"? She asked again, the room still quiet.

"Screw it". She spoke and stormed out. I went to get up but Austin stopped me.

"Just stay there please". He spoke but I pulled my hand away.

"Dont". And I walked off after my friend.

I made it outside as she paced the garden, wiping her eyes. I sat down on the little bench and waited for her to vent. She couldnt hold it in forever.

"I dont understand Lani. They need to take him to the doctor. He was stabbed, he wasnt bleeding, And why the fuck his he turning gray"? She sobbed. "None of this is making sense".

I patted her shoulder, trying to calm her but nothing was working. "Its not my story to tell babe. I want to but I cant". I sobbed with her, until a set of footsteps stopped our conversation.

"I can tell you". Austin spoke and sat next to us. Grabbing my hand and giving it a kiss he turned to Katie.

"Only if you want to"? He asked.

"Why wouldnt I? I need to know what crazy shit you all are hiding from me". She spoke and gave me a glare.

She had every right to be mad at me. I kept one of the biggest secrets there was. Shes my bestfriend, she deserves to know. Austin took a deep breath, bringing his hand to comb through his hair then spoke.

"Niall was born September 13th, 1907. He loved to play ball, ride his bike and walk to icecream places on his block". He stopped, looking at me.

"1907"? Katie asked.

He nodded and cleared his throat.

"At the age of twenty-eight he got hit by a car and died on the scene. My father, Desmond fixed him. Katie, niall doesnt age because hes not alive". Austin spoke.

Katie stayed still, looking between the both of us "what the hell are you on". She hissed and stood up but Austin was faster. He grabbed both of her hands and stared into her eyes.
