Bitten ( One Direction Fanfiction )

Chapter 4 : The Undead

{Niall's POV}

The holes have disappeared from her neck, the first sign that the process has started. Next comes the hunger then the emotion. She will be a new vampire and there's nothing I can do about it.

Liam paces behind me as I fixate on the girl lying on our couch. The vampirism spreading through her body as the scratches on her legs begin to heal.

"I told you not to go. Goodness gracious Niall, what are we suppose to do with her?" Liam's face begins to change, his eyes turning red.

"Calm down hot shot, we'll figure something out," Louis calmly responds as he sits up in his chair. Brown hair sweeps across his face as he looks at the girl in pity. "We have no choice but to help her. Do you remember the first time you awoke, finding yourself dead but somehow still alive? If we don't explain, the blood will get to her head and she'll go on a killing streak." I look at Louis in shock, the maturity of what he just said surprises me. He may be the oldest of us five, but his personality is like a big kid. He does whatever he wants when he wants without thinking of the consequences.

"Are you guys just ignoring the real problem here," Zayn's voice butts in, a serious look across his face. "There's a flippin vampire on the loose and all you care about is this stupid girl. We have to find out who it is before he attacks any more innocent people--"

"Shhhhhh!!" I interrupt, all the boys turning to the girl as her eyes begin to twitch. "I think she's waking up."

{Leah's POV}

My eyes begin to flicker, the site in front of me falling into focus. Everything around me is somehow bigger, almost like I'm looking at it in HD. I spastically sit up, searching the room for the boy who attacked me..the..the vampire. My hand rubbing my neck, feeling for his bite marks but nothing's there.
How is that possible? I had felt his teeth pierce my skin but there wasn't even a scratch. What the heck is going on?

"Relax, no need to worry." a calm voice speaks. I look to my right to see mystery boy sitting by my side, his hand on my leg as he stares intently into my eyes. "What's your name?"

"Leah..la..Leah Parker," I reply, my voice shaking.

"I'm Niall," mystery boy says, finally revealing his name, "and this is Harry, Zayn, Louis, and Liam," he points to the other four guys in the room. Their beady eyes never leaving me as I allow my body to loosen up. I place my hands on the sofa to push myself up, realizing an odd sense of strength I hadn't had before.

"What..what happened?" I question the boy as my eyes examine the room around me. Tall ceilings hang over me, the walls are covered in old paintings. The rustic charm of the house making it almost creepy.

"Um..uh..well..you were in the woods and uh.."

"Spit it out Niall!!"

"Well you've been bitten"

I look at him in confusion. Bitten? What the heck does that mean?

"You were bitten by a vampire and..and now your one."

My heart stopped, all feelings throughout my body gone. There's no way I'm a vampire. I didn't even think vampires were real until a few hours ago.

A mirror dangles on the wall as I make my way up to it. I take in my features, struck with shock and despair as my face reflects back at me.

My eyes aren't their usual hazel color, they are now a deep red. My normally tan skin now white as a ghost, and in my mouth, two sharp teeth have grown from my gums.

It can't be true but there's no other explanation. I'm a vampire.

What does that even mean? Are they like the characters in my books? Do they just kill people for the fun of it? How am I suppose to explain this to my parents? How am I suppose to control myself? Wait, what's that smell?

All of a sudden my mouth goes dry.
Do I need water? No?
A picture instantly popping into my mind. A boy walking his dog in the woods.

How can I even see him? That doesn't matter.

He's alone. I can hear his heart beat, the blood pumping through his veins. I need it. I crave it. I must have it.

Out of the corner of my eye, I see the front door, slightly cracked open. I turn back towards Niall before I rush out.

"Leah.. Leah no!!"

It was too late. Niall's voice already becoming faint as I move through the forest as quick as lightening. I don't even feel my feet hitting the ground as I take a deep breath to track down the human. His scent finding my nose as I come to a stop.

There, in front of me, was the boy in my head. The vein from his neck popping out every time he breathes, waiting for me to sink my teeth in it. I hide behind a tree, waiting for the perfect time to strike. His delicious blood coming closer and closer.

I can't take it anymore!!

My feet leave the ground as I launch myself at him. The taste of blood hits my tongue as I sink my teeth in his neck. He screams, trying to shake me off but I'm too strong. His body goes limp.

Am I killing him? Am I actually about to murder someone?

The thought crosses my mind. I try to pull myself back but the sweet taste of blood is too strong.

"Stop!!" a voice comes up behind me, ripping my head back.

"I just need a little more," my body hurls itself at the boy only to be stopped by arms holding me back.

{Niall's POV}

Blood drips from her mouth as the fangs disappear, the color returning to her eyes, an unconscious body lies beside her.

I had stopped her right before she killed him. Thank goodness. There's no need to have two new vampires when we can't even control one. Her arm drapes across my shoulder as I take her back towards the house. Tears begin to roll down her face as the remorse hits.

She can't control the hunger, she hasn't learned. All she knows is a vampire bit her and now she wants blood. That's all you can think about when you first turn.

We enter the house, the other boys follow behind. I place her back on the couch, Louis sits with her to make sure she doesn't run off again.

"I'm going to take her home," I whisper in Liam's ear, his eyes widen.

"No! She'll kill someone"

"Well the police will be on the lookout for her if she doesn't get home soon." I reply, "I'll watch from outside her window, wait for her to fall asleep and in the morning I'll train her. Does that sound reasonable?" Liam turned to me before nodding.

How am I suppose to train her?
