Howl at the Moon *A One Direction Fanfic* (On Hold)

Chapter 2 (edited)

"You." His head snapped forward and he was at my neck. One arm was wrapped tightly around my waist pressing my body tightly to his and the other was at my neck holding my head tilted to the side. It all happened to fast for me to scream and I was in shock of what was happening.

His teeth pressed sharply into my skin and I could feel my blood slipping down my neck to my collarbone. He pulled back from my neck and licked up the stream to the open wounds. I whimpered as he placed his mouth back on the wounds and started sucking. I felt tingling in my toes and shivered.

I wasn't crying. I wasn't even processing what was going on. I stood there numbly as I was drained. Suddenly, something inside my head clicked and I thought, Mar, what are you doing? You don't give up? He's killing you! Fight back!

I started struggling to get out of his tight grasp and a strangled scream escaped my throat. Tears poured down my cheeks when I realized I wasn't going to escape. I can't die. I'm only 18! Trees rustled in behind me but I wasn't focused on them, but the man certainly seemed interested as he pulled away from me, his tight grasp moving to my shoulders. He looked around and the look on his face was full of terror. I heard a low growl behind me and he immediately let go of me, sprinting in the opposite direction. He ran so fast, I could barely see him. There was no way that was human.

I slumped to the ground, not caring on what was behind me. I simply gave up. Footsteps came closer to me quickly and I noticed a shadow above me. My vision was blurry so I couldn't recognize them, but they grabbed my arms and hoisted me up. I whimpered, but was to weak to get away.

"It's okay." I recognized his voice, but couldn't think at the moment. He picked me up bridal style and I continued to whimper at the pain coming from my neck.

I blinked a couple times before I couldn't even open them. Before I was completely out of it, I heard someone say, "We need to call Ed." That was all I heard before I couldn't hear anything.

When I woke up, I was on the same couch in Harry's house, only this time, he was sitting in a chair next to me. He was frowning deep in thought, so he didn't see me wake up. I sat up slowly, still in a daze from sleep. He looked up at me and scooted closer. "Hey. Are you alright? Do you need me to get you anything?"

The concern was overwhelming, but I shook my head. "What happened?"

"Well, we saw that you left," my face flushed with embarrassment and shame as he continued, "and we went out to look for you. Liam and I went into the forest while the others went down the street. We heard you scream and found you on the ground."

My hand instinctively went up to my neck, but I couldn't feel any wound. "Wait, I was attacked but I'm healed? How? And do you know who attacked me?"

"No. He ran away as soon as we got there. And Lou will explain what happened. Are you okay to walk?" I nodded and he helped me off the couch. Even though I told him I could walk fine, he still insisted on holding my arm while walking me to the kitchen. My arm was on fire where he touched.

We walked into the kitchen and I saw the four other guys and a new stranger standing around the table. They all turned to look at us. The stranger had pale skin and dark goldish eyes. His head was framed by bright red hair that stuck up in a few places. He was wearing a plain black hoodie and dark jeans.

"Hey, are you alright?" Liam asked, walking up to me.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just wish someone would explain to me what the hell is going on." I sort of snapped at him at the end and felt bad, but I didn't let it affect me. They dragged me into this and I don't even know what this is!

"Marley. You should sit down. Have something to eat and drink." Zayn tried to tell me, but I wouldn't listen.

"I don't want something to eat! I just want some answers! You are the ones that kidnapped me! It's not my fault that some creeper was attacking me in the alley! You said that it was because I saw you, but what did I see? I saw someone save me from getting-" I broke of not wanting to think of what would've happened. "So you wanted me to not say anything about what I saw, so could someone explain what I saw?" I was quieter at the end and I sat down in a chair by the island.
