Wow, a lot has happened.
First Ashely, Symber and Louis. Now Perrie and Danielle. Did I really start this? All of our loved ones gone because of..me?
There was a tiny knock on the door, Symber.
"Come in."
Symber walks to my bed and stares.
"Hey princess." I force a smile.
"What are you thinking?" She tilts her head to the side.
"Just thinking of your mother."
Symber grows quite.
"I miss her.." She whispers.
"I know you do."
"When she didn't come home that night, I knew something was wrong. These creatures took Adam and me. Why did X do this to me? Turn me into a ugly monster!" Symber cries and sinks to the floor.
My heart shatters, hearing this from a child is hurt full. I pick her up, holding her close. Her tears soak my shirt.
"Symber, you are not a monster. Never ever think that! You are a beautiful young girl. I watched you blossom into a beautiful flower. Don't let X hide your beauty." I rub small circles into her back.
"I crave blood.. I am a monster."
"Symber we crave blood too. There is some days were we think we are monsters. But we use our talents for good." I say.
"Even Uncle Harry thinks he's a monster sometimes?"
"Even Uncle Harry." I chuckle. "When you're older I will tell you our stories."
Symber wraps her arms around me.
"I love you..dad." She whispers.
My heart warms up with gladness.
"I love you too."
"Niall!" I hear Zayn yell.
"Yeah?"
"We are going out for dinner. Come on!"
Symber grabs my arm and we walk downstairs.

We ended up going to Applebee's. I really wanted to go to Nando's but nobody else wanted to. The waitress came.
"Hello, I'm Mary. I will be your waitress for tonight. Can I start you off with some drinks?"
"Yes please."
She grab a notepad and a pen.
"I'll have a Pepsi, thank you." Harry says.
"Can I have a water?" Liam said politely.
"I will also have a water." Zayn smiles.
Mary quickly writes down the orders. "And you two?" She says and points to Symber and I.
"Please can I have apple juice?" Symber says in a begging tone. I look to her confused, we feed he and give her drinks, why is she begging?
"You sir?"
"May I have a mountain dew." I shly smile.
She scribbles down the orders and says, "I will be right back with your drinks."
Maybe about five minutes later she came back with our drinks. "Would you like to order?"
"Yes please. I will have chicken Alfredo." Liam started.
"I will have spegetti." Zayn says, confusion was his expression. Huh, wonder what that was about.
"May I have chicken parmajon?" Harry smiles.
Mary blushes at how flirtatious Harry is being.
"I will have a cheeseburger with everything on it. With fries. Symber would like Mac and cheese with fries." I reply.
"I will be right back." She smiles.
Liam started a conversation, everybody joined. I didn't find the topic interesting, so I drowned them out.
A family sat two tables away from us. A tall slim man, must be the father. A short young woman was wearing a red dress that matched the colors of her lips. The mother. Two kids, a boy and a girl, both either 7 or 8.
I didn't want them to catch me staring, so I tried pay attention to what my group was talking about.
There was something about the family that kept me staring. Like a powerful aurora. I noticed they were staring at me with lifeless expressions.
"Niall, how have you been feeling?" Zayn asked.
I heard him, but I didn't answer because I was afraid.
"Niall?" Liam spoke up.
I clear my throat, "I'm sorry, can you repeat that?"
"How was your day?" Zayn rewords.
"Its good. You know, the usual." I could still feel them staring at us.
"That's good?" Liam says in confusion.
"Those people over there keep staring at us." Harry whispers.
Symber pokes her head up from her coloring pages. "They want to hurt us." She says in a hushed tone.
"Creepy.." Liam trails off.
"Let's leave." Zayn orders.
Harry gave Mary $200 and a kiss on the cheek if she let us go. What a blonde.
Once we were outside Harry says, "That was awkward."
"You think?" Zayn says.
"Not think, I know." Harry sighs.
~
"Are you sure we are not lost?" Zayn complains.
"No, I'm sure of it." Liam replies uncertain.
"We past that sign about ten times!" Harry complains more.
We were literally in the middle of nowhere.
A bright lined shinned through the wind shield. So bright that we served into the other line and hit a truck.
Silence was first. Then sounds of scraping metal and screams.
