Do I Frighten You?

Chapter 5

*****Harry's POV*****

When I returned home from hunting, I walked into the kitchen to find Niall with Ella. I wasn't mad, because she needed to eat; But I also wasn't to happy for the fact that she wouldn't eat for me, but she would for Niall. And then to top it all off, they are baking a cake together? Something tells me Niall has something more than friendly gestures to offer to Ella.

I walked into the living area to find Liam napping and Fifa on the tv. I wasn't in the mood to play Fifa, but I had nothing else to do. And I wasn't gonna hangout with Niall and Ella, I didn't like seeing them together.

I was finally starting to relax until my Irish mate walked into the room. "Harry, I am gonna take Ella shopping for some clothes and stuff." He said walking into the room that Me and Liam were sitting in. I laughed. He frowned his eyebrows. "And what makes you think you can do that?" I asked amused. "Harry, you can't keep her here and treat her like a pet. She is a person, she needs clothes, a toothbrush, shoes, and she needs to be cared for and showed attention." He said getting angry.

"Niall, I'm not treating her like a pet! And when I try and show her attention, she pushes me away! So don't come in my place and tell me what I need to do, mate! And last time I checked, I brought her here, not you!" I hissed back. He was making me furious. "Listen Harry, I'm not trying to tell you what to do, but you must admit, she does need as much as a normal life as possible. I'm just trying to help." He said trying to cool the conversation down. He was right. She still was human. I needed to loosen up a bit and let him help. I stood up and walked over to him. I placed my hand on his shoulder and gave him an assuring nod. "Your right. Thanks Niall. Please just make sure you keep her safe." I said sternly. His shoulder muscles relaxed and he nodded. He better keep her safe.

*****Ella's POV*****

Niall made me Dinner and we baked a cake. I've had the most fun being with him for a few hours, than I've had in my whole life. He was so sweet and caring. He made me remember how to smile, really smile. He loved food, and we both loved strawberry cake. He made me laugh like I've never laughed before. If it wasn't so soon, I'd say I was falling for him.

I heard Harry and Niall talking right before Niall walked back into the kitchen were I was washing the dishes he didn't want me to wash. He frowned his eyes. "Ella, I was supposed to do those." I dried my hands on my shirt an turned to face him. "Niall, you got me out of bed, made me dinner, and you made me smile like I've never done before. The least I can do is wash some dishes." I said giving him a warm smile. He smiled back. "Okay, only this time though. But Harry said it was fine for me to take you shopping. So we can wait till the cake is done then we can head off." I didn't like the fact he said 'Harry said it was fine.' Even if he didn't, I'm my own person, I make my own decisions. I didn't run away from my home, to come here and be treated like I'm ten. I am capable of making my own choices.

Me and Niall were just talking about the pros and cons of Mayonnaise, the cons over ruling the pros. Neither one of us liked mayonnaise. We babbled on about our random conversation, until the ovens timer went off. I opened the drawer and slipped on a soft oven mitt, I was about to open the oven until I was lifted off my feet.

"Ah! Niall!" I half shouted. "Ella! Let me do it, you can get burnt." He said placing me on the counter and pulling off my mitts. I crossed my arms and did a playful fake pouty face. He smiled and slipped the mitts on. I watched as he pulled out the strawberry cake we made together and set it on the heat pad we laid on the counter. It smelt great. I was about to hop off the counter, until he grabbed my hips and set me to my feet. He made chills run through my body.

"We should put it in the fridge so it will be cooled of to where we can ice it when we get back." I suggested. "Good idea" he said placing it in the fridge. He turned to me and asked, "Are you ready?" "Yea"

He walked ahead of me into the living area so we could get to the front door, Harry was still in there with a sleeping Liam. "Erm..Ella? Can I talk to you before you leave? Alone?" He asked with a sound of hope in his voice. I thought before I nodded. Niall gave me a look then said, "I'll just wait here" I nodded and followed Harry into the kitchen.

*****Harry's POV*****

I needed to talk to her. I needed to apologize. I needed to make things right. It just hit me that she really was gonna be here forever.

"Ella, I'm so sorry. That night, I was gonna kill you, I couldn't, there was something about you stopping me. I never had a girl live with me. I..I'm new to this, and I feel horrible for keeping you here, but I honestly have no choice. I hope you can forgive me, I truly am sorry." I said looking into her eyes meaningfully. She held a blank expression on her face, she didn't even look like she heard me. I didn't know what to do..so I gave her a smile. She smiled, it was a small smile, but I saw it. "Now, go shopping, stay safe." I said. She nodded and walked away. She was so small, but so beautiful.

I walked upstairs to my room that I haven't really been in since she was here. The bed was all messed up, blankets everywhere. Her scent filled the room making my eyes darken. I walked over to the bed and picked up a sheet, I brought it to my nose and inhaled, letting her sweet intoxicating scent fill my nose. I knew I was basically teasing myself, making my fangs come out for nothing.

I pulled the duvet and sheets off of the bed and threw them in a pile on the floor. I grabbed all of the pillows left on the bed and tugged off the soft cases covering them, I tossed them in the pile of dirty sheets and blankets. I went around the room and picked up any dirty laundry, I threw those in the clothes bin I kept in the corner of my room. I picked up the pile I had made of the dirty laundry from my bed and walked out of the room to the laundry room in the end of the hall. I opened the washer and dropped the sheets and blankets in, I turned the knob, letting the machine fill with water. While it was filling up I measured and poured the soap in, I shut the top and left the room.

I decided to go watch a movie where Liam was still snoozing. I picked Toy Story because even though Liam is a vampire, he has a soft spot for this movie. And I knew he would be waking up soon. I couldn't stop thinking of her. I hope she doesn't have any feelings for Niall, if she does, Niall needs to stop. He's already taken and he knows it. And besides, I am the one who brought her here.

I watched the movie and about 15 minuets in, Liam shot up. "Who put this on?" He said with a smile on his face. I chuckled. "I did" he smiled to himself an started watching the movie. "Where is Ella and Niall?" He asked raising one eyebrow. I sighed. "He took Ella shopping for some clothes" I said with a plain tone. "Oh" he paused. "Are you okay?" He asked. I guess he could tell I was kinda jealous. "Never been better" I said trying to watch the movie. "Harry, mate, Niall is just trying to be nice. Ella is scared." He assured me. I rolled my eyes. "He is being a little to nice" I mumbled. He shook his head and we watched the movie.
