Take In

Chapter 5:

Ezra's P.O.V:

As soon as Alex finished yelling at me, a group of 3 Vamps jumped in front of her landing in a pouncing position. When I recognized what circle they were in I made it my main goal to make sure Alex stays safe no matter what.

"HEY!! Why don't you come after somebody that will actually have a chance at beating your asses!?! Like me, for instance... I'm in desperate need of a good fight right about now anyway! So... Come at me!!!" I yelled, getting their attention on me.

The Vamp that was in the middle of the three came at me, while the other two went towards Alex. Shit...

"Nico!!! Jake!!!Otis!!! Joseph!!! GET YOUR ASSES OUT HERE AND HELP ME!!!!" I yelled wanting Alex to be safe.

A few seconds later the four of them run out of the house and see what's going on. I tell them to go help Alex and that I didn't need any help with the Vamp that I'm fighting with. I see the two Vamps jump on Alex and the both of them grab each of her arms.

"HELP ME!!! Ezra!!! PEASE, HELP ME!!!" Alex yelled while crying in fright. The sight breaks my heart. I push the Vamp off of me and towards Otis and Joseph and tell them to take care of him and find out who he is and who he works for before running towards Alex as the two Vamps are trying to knock her out.

Key word.... Trying.

Alex keeps screaming for help and I guess some of the neighbors heard her because in the next second I hear police sirens getting louder by the second as they keep getting closer and closer. I run up to the Vamps that are struggling to drag her away.

One of them did a stupid thing and let go of Alex's arm and made an attempt to punch me in the face, but I dodged it and kicked him in the face. I called over Nico and told him to take him to where Joseph put the other guy that we got out of the three before getting the third and final guy off of Alex. As I was beating the life out of this guy I didn't realize when the police and ambulances got here until Nico and Jake were dragging me off of the guy that I was punching to death. I look over to Alex. When she looked over at me I saw how scared and grateful she was feeling right at this moment.

As I was about to walk towards her she ran to me, when she was close enough to me she jumped in my arms wrapping her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck. I immediately wrap one of my arms under her butt and the other around her waist to hug her closer to me so that I could whisper calm and soothing things into her ear in an attempt to try to calm her down a little bit. When she buried her head into the crook of my neck that's when I realized that she was crying.

"Shhh... You're okay now. You're safe with us Alex. Please don't cry. Please I'm begging you, please don't cry. Hey, do you want some ice- cream? We have some in the house if you want some. Do you want any???" I ask in an attempt to try cheering her up.

As I was trying to cheer Alex up a little bit a police officer walks up and tells Alex that he needs to take her statement of everything that had just happened. It's taking everything in me not to punch this guy in the face. Cop or not.

"Can you come back in the morning? I was just about to go take her in the house so that she could go and get some sleep after everything that had just happened to her tonight. Or you could come with us and I can tell you what I know and saw, if that's alright with you." I said to the officer that wants to take my baby's statement.

Hold on... my baby?... No, she is not my baby.

I didn't wait for an answer and just started walking towards the house and opened the front door and entered the humongous mansion that I live in with the guys and their girlfriends. I look behind me and see that the officer is following me. I let him enter the house and close the door once he's in. I pass the stairs and walk into the kitchen and head straight to the fridge and open the door to be able to grab the ice-cream that she was promised, then I close the fridge door and walk over to one of the drawers and grab two spoons out of the cabinet to then hand the ice-cream over to Alex so that she could open it and throw the lid on the counter and grab one of the spoons out of my hand to then start eating the cookie dough ice-cream that she was given. I chuckle lightly and proceed to walk out of the kitchen and head to the staircase that I passed by earlier and walk up the stairs and down the hallway to my own bedroom with my bed in the middle. I open the door and walk into my room while the officer is just following me around looking like a lost puppy. I walk over to the bed and set Alex down on it and then sit down beside her.

"Please, make yourself comfortable." I gestured to the officer so that he could sit down. As he was getting comfy my attention got dragged back onto Alex as she snuggled up against my side. I wrap my arms around her waist and pick her up and set her in my lap to then lay back against the headboard of my bed.

"Tell me what you know about what happened tonight in the best detail that you can Mr...."

"Hart. My name is Ezra Hart. And you are....?"

"Call me Bill."

"Hey Bill. What are the questions that you wanted to ask me about what happened here tonight.....?" I asked officer Bill once he got comfortable on the couch in my bedroom.

"How about you tell me everything that you know about the situation that had occurred earlier tonight.... Then, if I have any questions for you afterwards I can ask them to you. How does that sound to you.......???"

"Sounds good to me." I said, then I started to tell officer Bill everything that I know.

Except that all three of them and me and everyone else that lives in the house are practically dead but at the same time not dead, because we're all Vampires.
