Love Bites™ (Harry Styles) [✔] Completed

Chapter Three

The pounding of my brain tissue against my hard skull awoke me most unpleasantly. I groaned rather loudly, holding my head in my hands, then massaging my temples as I desperately tried to rid myself from the massive headache I was experiencing. Zayn scurried into the room looking at me with a worried expression. He sat on the bed beside to me and brought me onto his lap.

"Shh... Shh..." he kept repeating as he tried to calm me down.

Tears began to sting at my eyes as I sat in his lap with him rubbing my back. It was soothing, but the pain in my head just wouldn't decide to go away.

"Wh-who was that man?" I choked out.

Zayn's movements froze as did the shushing sounds silence. "You needn't ask me. Talk to Harry about that."

"No."

"Why not?"

"I'm angry with him. He insists that I am Callidora when in reality I am no such person."

As my anger boiled inside of me my headache vanished. Well that's strange. "My head is better, you can go." Zayn nodded and set me down on the bed before leaving my side and exiting the bedroom. Since I was avoiding Harry, I decided to go exploring round the gigantic house. I skipped some rooms, uninterested in them. Soon enough I came across a mahogany coloured door with a carving of a black crow in it. This carving intrigued me enough to open the door and walk inside.

Quietly shutting the door behind me I faced inward to the room. There was a bed with unmade sheets directly across from where I was standing. As I looked round I noticed a shirtless, very toned, torso. My eyes fell upon the playful gaze of blazing green ones. It was Harry's room? More importantly, he was shirtless and my god...

Harry walked toward me, "You know, you should really learn how to knock."

My breath caught in my throat as his lips brushed against my ear with every word, hot air sending a warm sensation through me that was quickly seized as he moved away. "Sorry," I replied breathlessly.

"Don't be sorry, love. At least now you have some sense of what I look like without clothes on."

"Why would I-"

"If you remembered being Callidora, you'd already know."

"She slept with you?"

"Correction, you slept with me."

"No. No no no. I did no such thing."

"Or so you think. Maybe I could refresh your memory."

Harry stepped even closer, forcing me backward until my back hit a hard surface and I was trapped by his large frame and extended arms to the wall behind me. My hands instinctively went up and pushed on his hard chest, but it did absolutely nothing whatsoever. He smiled tauntingly at me, "You used to love this; being pinned against the wall. You always said it was sexy." I bit down on my lip; he was right, I do think it's pretty sexy. But I'm not Callidora, and that's that.

He brought his lips down to brush against mine. I closed my eyes, allowing the sensation but willing myself to stand my ground and not fall for his tricks. Harry pressed his lips to mine softly and this time I couldn't fight my reactions of kissing back. I felt his lips curve into a victory smile as I kissed him back. He pulled away slowly and I opened my eyes as did he. His shirtless body seemed to be begging for more and so was mine, but I couldn't. I needed to know more about the man from the night before.

"Harry," I said putting my arms round his neck, "who was that man?"

His body seemed to turn completely still. "You mustn't know unless you find out yourself."

"Please?" I begged with a puppy dog pouty face.

He closed his eyes, "Alright, alright." When he opened his eyes again he removed my hands from his neck and lead me to the bed where we sat down. At first I wasn't sure if he was planning on actually telling me or something else.

"He had a mannequin with my exact face and there was a wedding veil draped over it. What aren't you telling me?" I demanded.

Harry took a deep breath, "First we should start with your mother Atque Deficere."

"Atah who?"

"In English her name is Selene. She is the goddess of the moon and the mother of all vampires."

"B-but I'm not a vampire..."

"That's not what this is about right now, we'll get to that at some later point. Now, she had a lover called Ambrogio, he's the father of all vampires and the true original."

"Original?"

"Yes, the first Vampire ever created. Then there was Apollo, the sun god. He fancied Selene as did Ambrogio. However, Selene was in love with Ambrogio, not Apollo, the ruler at the time."

"Then who's my father?"

"Ambrogio."

"How if I'm not a vampire?"

"You'll understand soon enough. What happened is that Apollo had a son and got a witch, Tatia, to give him immortality. The twist is that his son, Elidoro, or Eli, wanted more than immortality so he set off to find Ambrogio in Italy. When he got to Ambrogio he requested to be turned into a lamia, becoming the first recreation bloodline of vampires. That man that you met, that was Eli and he's seeking revenge against his father by making you his bride."

"Why me? Why not my mother?"

"Because there's only one way to contact your mother."

"Which is?"

"O dea tenebris

mater immortalibus

puer tuus fac me sicut renascentur

mea lux vestra absorbere

liceat mihi locus ad tenebras

sicut ex utero immortales

filios tuos in ulnis

quibus invocaverit te frater

O lunae lumen

puer tuus fac me sicut renascentur

me duce tenebris sunt

i ita erit renatus."

"O dea tenebris-"

Harry's hand clasped over my mouth. "Never say those words."

"Why? I want to speak with my mother that got me into this mess."

"Because I said so. There are serious consequences for saying that."

"Then why did you say it?"

"It cannot affect me, I'm already spellbound."

"What does it do?"

"It's better that you not know. Are you hungry?"

"Starving."

Harry got up and threw a shirt over his head. He then held a hand out to me and I took it, following him through the never-ending hallways to the kitchen. As I was eating my chocolate chip pancakes I kept resaying what Harry said not to say aloud in my head. He said it wouldn't affect him because he's already spellbound. So, what will it do to me?
