Love Bites™ (Harry Styles) [✔] Completed

Chapter Twenty-eight

"My darling, Selene. You wouldn't want to see your daughter die, now would you?"

My mother looked terrified. Her eyes glanced over at me. In the moment that her eyes met mine I could feel the apology, sense the love, and see the fear.

Apollo hurt Harry and he's done God knows what to my mum. It made me sad for them and for myself, but overall I was outraged. I directed all my anger toward Apollo.

Just as I was about to pounce on him, he fell to his knees yelling curse words. He gripped his head in his hands in the agony of his unknown pain. Screams of terror and excruciating pain flooded the area surrounding us.

I looked round the premises expecting to see a witch somewhere. The thing is, there wasn't one. Nothing could be heard in the distance and nothing was sensed to say there was another presence. Brushing off the confusion, I walked up to Apollo.

"Please, please make it stop!" he begged.

I stared him down until his body collapsed. My mum's eyes were stained with tears as she looked from Apollo's limp body up to me. A smile formed on her lips.

"It's really you," she said quietly.

"Sorry?" I asked, unsure of what she meant by that.

"You, you're really Callidora. I've been waiting to meet you for a long time."

"But we just met last night."

"No we didn't...?"

"Yeah we did. At Zach's house, remember?"

"It was that pesky witch Iata. She must've given Apollo the power to become my form. That's how you found us, isn't it?"

"Yes, it is..."

I walked over to her and untied her restraints. They were only zip ties, so I easily got them off of her. She sighed of relief, rubbing her wrists. Her eyes found mine and she made a more serious expression appear in her eyes.

"Do you know why Apollo fell to his defeat so quickly?" she asked.

"No, I figured it was a witch."

"No, sweetie, that was you."

"Me?"

"Yes."

"But... But how?"

"You have powers, Callidora-"

"Please call me Callie."

"Alright. You have powers, Callie. None of us know what they are, but one seems to be the power to defeat your enemy by giving them extreme brain aneurisms."

"Powers? You have to be kidding me."

"I would not lie about such serious a thing."

I sighed, "Okay... Well, what about Harry?"

"He's fine. Vampires don't die when you snap their neck. You'd either have to rip their heart out, decapitate them, or stake them in the heart."

"So, whe-"

"Couple minutes."

"Alright."

My mum and I talked for a little whilst longer, but instead it was about Iata. I told her all about what she'd done to Harry and me. She was outraged about it and the fact that Iata was helping with such sickening acts. Apparently she used to be like an angel. I, personally, cannot even imagine her being anywhere near angelic.

"Mum, can I ask you something?"

"Anything."

"How come Harry isn't like... Well, couldn't fight back?"

"Are you saying you slept with him?"

"Umm..."

"Did you just have sex, or did you make love?"

"Err... I don't know..."

Gosh, this was awkward. Talking to my mum about sleeping with someone. But she had to know something, right?

"Well, you have to make love for it to happen. If you didn't then nothing will change. Harry will still be a normal vampire and you will still be the most superior."

"The most? I thought dad was the most?"

"No, sweetie. You could kill him if you wished to."

"What?"

"It's true. You are at the very top of the vampiric food chain, so to speak."

"Nothing can kill me but one thing."

"Precisely."

Just after the word left her mouth a loud gasp for air filled my ears. Harry sat up looking round the gazebo. His eyes locked on Apollo's semi-lifeless body. He then turned to my mum and me.

His green eyes seemed filled with urgency and panic. They seemed to speak to me, saying that we needed to get out of here soon before Apollo is resurrected as well.

I took my mum's hand and pulled her out of the gazebo and onto the forest floor. Harry was way ahead of us already. Selene is the moon goddess, not a vampire. If I want to get out of here I'll have to pick her up.

As the thoughts raced through my mind, I quickly acted upon them; swiftly picking her up and going full speed back to the house. We got inside and I left her in one of the spare bedrooms, telling her she could stay there as long as she needed to.

My feet carried me back to my room where Harry was leaning on the doorframe. His bicep pushed against the frame whilst he leaned in that direction. I bit my lip at the sight of him like that; it was unmistakably hot. He smirked at my reaction.

I walked up so that I was directly in front of him. He leaned down so that his lips met mine. As the kiss started to get more and more heated with him taking me in my room and closing the door, he pulled back.

"Ssh, your mum's here."
