Son of Lucifer

11// Devil's Mark

Niall didn't know how to cope with Zayn's sudden departure the first few days, he honestly couldn't. He didn't know how he would quickly get over him especially over the shit they went through even if it was over a short span of a few weeks. Harry became distant himself leaving and avoiding Niall at all costs. Liam and Adriana were supportive and helping him get over this and Niall was frustrated and angry, but mostly at himself, he really was. He didn't understand why Zayn decided to leave was he not happy or? All Niall could do was surround himself with people and try to brush off this entire situation.

In the later weeks of January, Niall found himself with two jobs working a hundred and twenty hours a week and bags under his eyes designed by zayn fucking malik. Sometimes he would wake up crying and angry at himself for letting Zayn too close or he would wake up shaking from nightmares.

After clocking out at his second job, Niall took the fifteen minute walk home from the bar at two in the morning and stopped at a gas station for a cup of coffee to ease his nerves. He didnt know why he was nervous, he didn't know or understand his actions or how he felt these past few days but he just blamed it on his surroundings.

Small cup, two sugars and light roast, Niall really wasn't a fan of black coffee, or coffee in general anymore but the bitter taste and coffee made him sleep better. He quickly paid for his drink and bluntly thanked the man and continued his walk home.

As Niall neared the apartment complex, he fished out the keys from his pockets and unlocked the door as he sighed annoyingly. He shut the main door and shyly smiled at the security guard behind the desk, who greeted him back with a smile and head nod. He ditched the elevator and went up the stairs to the seventh floor.

As he opened the door to his floor, the hallway was terribly lit but remembered the landlord telling him something about the lights getting fixed and what not. He ignored it and began walking down the long hall.

Turning the last corner before his apartment, he stopped in the middle of the hallway feeling his feet glued to the floor as the lights flickered on and off. He tried to move, he honestly did but he couldn't, a lump in his throat grew and his breathing hitched. He could recognize the pair at the end of the hall of what was Zayn's apartment and his. He instantly got goosebumps as the lights fully switched on and saw Harry holding Zayn back.

"Harry?" He called out as he took a few steps forward but stopped as Harry snickered. Now that he was closer, Niall noticed Harry's eyes, his scalras were red, almost an irritated red color and his pupils were fully dilated. He wanted to run but he just couldn't.

"Wh-what, wait this is a joke right?" Niall said calmly but on the inside he was screaming and shitting his pants. Harry rolled his eyes before answering.

"Shut up." Harry said coldly as he took a few steps forward himself still gripping onto Zayn's wrist, who didn't look good himself.

"Anyways Niall, Zayn told me a secret and I couldn't help but not help him. You see our father made us a deal, kill someone by our twenty third birthday and we get to be like you, a human but Zayn got too close." Before Niall could even process what was happening Harry hummed and tilted his head to the side.

"Welcome to the dark side Ni.." Harry said as he lightly chuckled, his voice sweet but his smile was sinister one. He felt a rush of cold wind come up behind him as he watched Harry let go of his brother's wrist and Zayn lunged himself towards Niall and all he remembered was Zayn's empty black demonic eyes.
