Illusion (l.p au)

two

It's 6 in the morning and I heard a loud knock at my door. I groan in frustration, knowing that I have to get up. Today is my mother's funeral. This would be the last day that I would see her.

But, what my father told me last night is still stuck in my head. Are Vampires real? Did they really kill my mom? I groaned in frustration. What am I saying? That's impossible, vampires are just mythical creatures that you would read in books or see in movies.

"I'm awake." I said with an attitude as I walked towards the door.

"Good morning baby." The voice sounded so familiar. It was Christian,my boyfriend of one year standing at my door.

"CHRISTIAN!" I screamed as I ran up to him. "I'm so happy you're here babe." I said thankfully. I knew that I would need someone to lean on throughout this day.

"Go and get ready. Niall and Alexander are waiting for us downstairs." He said as he kissed my cheek.

Although I was tired and I didn't want to go to my mothers funeral, I decided to wear a black dress. I tied my messy black hair into a ponytail and curled the ends, to add an elegant touch. I put on some makeup, even though it will all smear at the funeral . I stared at myself in the mirror, everyone used to tell me that I've always looked like mom. We had the same eyes and whenever we smiled, our cheekbones would pop.

I sighed. I'm not ready to see her. I don't want to see her. I'm not ready, and i don't want to say good bye.

I went downstairs as I see a blonde-haired boy, standing beside Christian. He's wearing a black polo with dark skinny jeans.

"Niall." I said as I walked up to my cousin and embraced him.

"I'm so sorry about Aunt Rita. Always know that I'm here for you, okay?" He whispers while rubbing my back.

"Thank you Niall. It's just so hard for me to believe that she's actually gone." I told him as tears threatened to fall on my cheeks.

"No one wanted any of this to happen. But, are you ready to see her for the last time?" He asked me calmly.

"I don't think I am. I know that it's going to hurt, a lot." I cried, breaking down.

"We all love her that's why it hurts but, we have to remember that now she's in a better place." He says as he held my hand and leads me out of the house.

As we arrive at the funeral, I can see about ten people scattered around my mother's coffin. The closer I got to her, the more tears came out. I started to panic until I feel Christian's arms around me, reassuring me and helping me to relax.

"Let's go in the woods and get you away from this." He whispered in my ear, then planted a kiss on my cheek. I followed him into the woods, wiping the tears off my face.

"Thank you." I said, trying to avoid thinking about my mom's funeral.

As Christian and I walked around the woods, I can feel that someone is following us, but I ignored it.

"Why don't you go back to the funeral. I don't want to sound rude but, I really want to be by myself right now." I said to him, wanting to get away from everyone and everything.

"Okay. I'll just see you later then." He says as he walks away from me. I kinda hoped that he would refuse and stay with me. He can really be a jerk sometimes.

The bushes behind me moved, as I hear branches snap. I heard a boy, groan and curse under his breath. I panicked and grabbed a huge rock, holding it with both of my hands.

"Who's there?! Show yourself or I'll throw this rock at you!" I shouted as my hands shake.

A guy wearing a leather, black jacket came out holding both of his hands in the air. He has hazel-brown hair and dark brown eyes. He looks like he's about my age.

"You know, that rock could be poisonous and burn your skin." He says as he tries to tempt me to drop the rock.

"WHAT!" I screamed as I dropped the rock, I glared at him as he laughed at me.

"You do know there are no such rocks that could burn skin." 

We looked at each other as we both started laughing.

"Hi, I'm Liam" he introduced himself and pulled out his hand.

"I'm Hayley." I responded and shook his hand. Woah. His hands are cold as ice.

"Wow your hands are freezing." I stated as I drop his hand.

"Yeah I'm freezing. What are you doing here in the middle of the woods all by yourself?" He asked. His jawline is very defined. He looks like someone that you would see in the movies playing as the prince charming. He's beautiful. 

"Oh I was here with my boyfriend, but I wanted to be all by myself. So, I told him to leave." I saw his face drop when I said 'boyfriend'. So, I decided to change the topic, I decided to ask him about the information my dad told me last night.

"Have you heard about the rumors about the 'vampires' in this forest?" I asked and his face turned pale.

His eyes got bigger and he moved back slowly. He placed his hands inside his pocket and his face went gloomy all of a sudden, he looked back trying to find something.

"Hey I'm sorry but I have to go." He replied quickly. Okay, that was an unusual gesture.

"Do you know anything about them? I've been hearing stories about "Vampires" and they might be the ones who killed my mother. Please help me!" I screamed as the tears started to form in my eyes.

He looked at me straight in the eyes, I began to panic. The tears fell on my cheeks and I quickly knew I shouldn't have said anything.

"They didn't kill your mom." He coldly responded.

"You know about them?" I asked as my voice quivers.

"I'm Liam, Liam Payne. I am one of the Paynes." He says as random thoughts began to appear in my head.

Did he just say "Paynes" ? Wasn't that the group of vampires that my dad told me last night? Is he the one who killed my mother?

"Are you a-" I tried to speak but the word just won't come out of my mouth.

"A vampire, yes I am. But, don't be scared, I won't hurt you." He assured to me.

How could I trust this person? He could be my mom's killer!

"Is that what you told my mom before you killed her?" I protested.

"I didn't kill her. If you want to know who killed her, meet me here at dawn and I'll explain everything about your mother's death." He says as he left in a blink.
