The rest of the day and night I could not stop thinking about Harry. In classes I lost interest, which was unusual for me, and my mind wandered back to him. His attractive voice, cheeky smile and memorizing orbs attracted me to him. But there was something else. Under all of that, he was hiding, scared  of world, scared of falling in love. He liked to be rude to hide how he really felt. I wanted to fix that.

The night came quick and it happened at about 9pm whilst I was reading in bed. I was facing the window and a shadow caught my eye. I could tell there were two students outside in the forest but I couldn't identify them. One of them (a man) was kissing the girl and she looked weaker by the second. It looked like he was sucking something out of her body...

I got up in a hurry, grabbing my coat. I wasn't going to watch this girl just die!

'Where are you going?' Rosetta asked but I ignored her.

I ran out of the building into the dark forest. The sky had no stars and the moon was the only source of light I had. I tried desperately to find the students but it was no use. I was just getting myself lost.

The temperature was dropping fast and strange noises filled the ear. I shivered under my numerous layer of clothes.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me. I swiveled round and in a few seconds, a tall figure stood in front of me. Their face was dark due to the low light.

'Please don't hurt me,' I begged.

I desperately tried to hold back sobs that were threatening to escape from my mouth.

'I would never hurt you angel.'

The figure toke his hood down and there stood Harry. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in.

Without thinking, I wrapped my arms around him. At first he tensed up but then he relaxed and embraced me too. I felt safe in his arms.

'Why are you out here so late?' Harry asked 'it's not safe and you can get hurt angel.'

He caressed my cheeks and raised his eyebrows searching for and answer.

'I saw something.' I whispered, 'something horrible. Call me crazy but...It looked like a person was sucking something out another person.'

Harry looked baffled for a second but then a hard frown filled his face. Why did this boy have to be so complicated?!

'Shit.' He mumbled under his breath.
'Listen to me, Camille. This is serious. Never go out at night alone, especially in this forest okay? It's dangerous and I won't always be here to save you.'

The tone of his voice scared the shits out of me. He's always been cocky and cheeky but this time, he was being serious. I nodded my head.

'Come on, Angel.' He said softly 'lets get back to your dorm.'

He toke his hand in mine and started to lead the way. He knew exactly which direction to go and that made me curious. How often did he come here?

We didn't speak whilst walking back to my dorm but we didn't have to. It was comforting silence.

We opened the door to come face to face with Rosetta and Tommy with worried expressions on their faces. They literally jumped on me and hugged me to death when they saw me.

'Oh my gosh Camille!' Rosetta screamed. 'It's 2am, we were so worried about you!'

'Don't ever do that to us again.' Tommy instructed me.

I smiled politely at my friends.

'Everything is fine, including me so there's no need to worry. Oh by the way this is harry.' I said, pointing to him.

'Why is he here?' Snapped Tommy, obviously holding a grudge against him from the incident earlier that day.

'I would shut up if I was you before my fist comes in contact with your ugly face.' Harry practically growled.

'Woah now, calm down.' I said 'Harry you should go. Thanks for bringing me back but I'm safe now.'

He just stood there looking me and muttered a few words under his breath.

I think they were 'your not safe now you've seem him' but I'm not entirely sure. I mean how ludicrous would that be?!

He left, obviously in a sulk and I felt so bad. He might've saved my life in that forest and I just chucked him out?!

'I'm so sorry guys but I have to talk to Harry.' I said to Tommy and Rosetta.

I ran out of the dorm after the green eyed boy before they could stop me. He wasn't anywhere and I was starting to get worried. What I saw that night terrified me and if that figure was to get his hands on Harry...

The temperature suddenly dropped even though I was in a heated corridor. I felt the same feeling I experienced in the forest. Twice in one day, I was in some deep shit.

'What the fuck are you doing out here alone again?' I heard Harry's voice boom from the other end of the corridor.

He was face to face with me in a flash. Maybe it was a trick of the light but his eyes looked as black as the night sky and his face as hard as stone. I gulped and managed to get enough courage to speak.

'I wanted to come and thank you for finding me tonight and taking me back to my dorm.'

'Well.' He said sternly 'could you not wait for tomorrow?'

Outside I looked calm but inside I was fuming.

'I came to thank you and you come out with a rude comment? Really? That's low.'

A large smirk grew on his face and I knew a plan was forming in his mind.

'Humans are so stupid sometimes. You think a simple thank you will satisfy me? You really want to thank me for what I did then let me take you out on a date.'

'A date?' I merely squeaked.

'Tomorrow 8, I'll pick you up.'

Before I had time to speak he started to talk again.

'Its 2:30 am now angel and you need to sleep.'

I nodded my head and yawned. His eyes didn't leave me until I stepped back into my dorm.
