“Tell me about it.” said the stranger sitting across from me.

I contemplate his question knowing that it could change things for good. I promised I would never tell, but they say if I talk about it I will feel better.

“I told them that I would keep it a secret. Cant you just believe me?” I ask with pleading eyes.

The doctor sighed. They say they want to help me, but I know that they all think I am insane.

“If I did tell you,” I said catching his attention “You have to promise not to tell anyone else”

The man crossed his legs “I can’t promise you that Jade. But I can promise you that if you tell us we can help”

Was I really going to tell this complete stranger my whole story? Putting the one that I love, or at least thought I loved, in danger?

They said it was the only way that I would feel better. Talk it out, so that is just what I am going to do.

“It all started when I was walking back from work,” I said with shaky hands remembering the night.

“And you work at that small diner in town, correct?” he asked scribbling something down

“Yes.” I replied. “So I was walking, when I felt like someone was watching me.”

The man looked up at me, shoved his glasses up his nose, and wrote something else down

They defiantly think I am insane, but this will help.

**FLASHBACK**

I just brushed it off my shoulder; I told myself that I was just paranoid because thats what I wanted to hear. I continued walking, my eye lids slowly closing and my feet aching from the long day. I just wanted to get home and go to sleep, I just wanted a little but of peace before I had to get up and do it all voer again.

A few blocks later I felt an icy cold hand on my shoulder. I jumped around to see five tall figures hovering above me. They all looked inhuman with red eyes and bared teeth. Only one of them was looking at me with complete disbelief in his big red eyes. His name was Harry.

The blonde one, which I later learned was Niall, lunged at me but was grabbed mid air by Harry before we could even touch.

“Its her.” he said simply.

“What do you mean its… wait, you mean… that’s her?” asked the boy with brown hair and blue eyes also known as Louis.

Harry’s disbelief was replaced with a smile. “Its her!”

He went to pick me up but I moved out of his reach “Don’t be scared love.” He cooed offering me his hand.

I looked into his eyes. They had gone from red to a light green.

“Who are you?” I asked “A-and why are your eyes r-red?”

I snuck a peak at Niall who was giving me a hungry look. His hands were shaking and he was sweating like crazy. “Harry I need to feed, move over”

Harry looked up at Niall, his eyes turning a golden color. “Niall, its her. You can’t feed on…” but he was cut off when Niall jumped on me.

I let out a blood-curtailing scream as I felt his hot breath on my neck and his fangs graze my shoulder. I felt two big arms lift Niall off of me right before he could sink them into me. 

I watched two boys hold back Niall, his arms and legs fighting back. Throwing themselves at odd angles at any attempt of escape. His red eyes looked at me and soley me as mine did his. What scared me most wasn't the blood all over his white teeshirt, not his sickly white skin, or even the two charp teeth protruding form his mouth like knives, but his deadly eyes.

“I’m taking her home,” said Harry quickly picking me up gently but swiftly in one quick motion. I could tell he was eager to get away from Niall as was I, but I didn't want to be left with him either. I struggled to get out of his tight grip but he was too strong.

“You have to calm down,” he said sounding a bit annoyed but I kept going. “STOP!” he screamed.

I stopped moving and tensed up.

“Close your eyes,” whispered harry, and with that he started running, but it didn’t feel like we were running. It felt like we were flying.

I kept my eyes tightly closed, but I could feel the wind hitting my face and blowing my hair back. I opened one of my eyes, then the other. Everything was a blur, but I could see the familiar houses flashing by us, we were heading for the woods. I wrapped my arms around Harry’s neck and he gripped me tighter. I could now see the trees big trees passing by. I had never been in the woods before, and I didn’t like it.

Suddenly Harry stopped at a small old beat up house. As soon as he put me down my legs gave out and I fell. He helped me up and I tried to run away. He grabbed my wrist.

“It’s not going to be that easy love,” he said leading me inside.

“You can’t keep me here forever, I will get away. Let me go you monster!” I screamed my hands shaking like jello.

He stopped after that last word. “What did you juts call me?” he asked

I gulped “m-monster” I whispered.

Before I could blink I was pushed up against the wall. I winced but didn’t show ay fear.

“HO DARE YOU SAY THAT!” he screamed at me, his eyes were a gold color again. “DO YOU THINK I CANT HELP WHAT I AM?"

He pushed me harder up against the wall holding my wrists up over my head. I turned my head to the side in attempt to escape the sickening color of his eyes. I squeezed my own eyes shut as his grip on my wrists tightened sending pain shooting through my whole body

“And what exactly are you?” I choked out

an evil laugh escaped his plump lips and they pulled into a cocky smile. He put his head into the crook of my neck, his curls tickling my jaw.

“Your worst nightmare.” He whispered
