-Escape-

Chapter 9

**ZAYNS POV**

I push through the trees, trying not to go to fast for her sake. I try to find his scent amongst all of the others that roam the cluttered forest, but the only thing that my nose picks up is her.

“Zayn?” whispers Jade in my ear, her hot breath giving me the shivers yet soothing me.

I cleared my throat “Yeah?” I replied emotionlessly as I could, thats how things usually were with Jade.

“Why are you doing this for me” she asked simply, tightening her arms around my neck a I tilted my head up in attempt to get my nose furthur away from her.

Because I love you.

 Because we belong together.

 Because you are my everything.

“Because I care about Harry too” I lie as I continue through the forest in what I think to be the path that he chose. She tightens her arms around me again, slightly brushing one of the areas in which Harry punched me causing me to wince. I try not to think about the bruises that will form, they will go away in a matter of days, but I dont think I will be fogetting about the reasons behind them anytime soon.

Jade starts coughing so I set her down.

My eyebrows knit and my face laces with fear as Jade coughs to the point that is doesnt seem like she is breathing anymore“Do you want to wait here? Or I could bring you back to the house or-”

“No.” she croaked“I want to-“

She stopped mid sentence.

“What?” I ask.

But she doesn’t reply. She just looks behind me, tears forming in her already bloodshot eyes.

I slowly turn around and gasp. Behind me lies a lifeless teenage boy with two big holes in his neck. There is little blood on the ground, but it is obvious that Harry did it.

“Harry is a… nervous eater,” I say to her, trying to calm her down even though I am probably the last perosn on earth that could do that for her.

“H-he did this?” she asks, her hands shaking like jello as she observes the body whilst trying to look away from it.

“It’s Jared! Come quick!” screams a little girl in the distance.

“Molly your over reacting Jared is probably just playing with you.” replied an older voice, but me and Jade both knew Jared wasnt playing, and aperantly neither way Harry.

I quickly pick up Jade who is still staring at the dead boy in front of us.

“We have to go,” I said almost silently as me and Jade disapear, as if we wre only a gust of wind passing by for a fraction of a second.

I can smell Harry now, strong. I start to run in the direction of the scent, we had to stop him before he got to another person.

“Oh my god” I heard the women say behind us. sometimes I hate vampire powers, i am just greatfull that Jade doesn't have them.

I started to run faster, I didn’t want her to see any of it, I didn't want to see any of it. I couldn't help but feel like it was my fault because, well... it was.

“Stop-struggling and it will be faster” I heard a familiar voice say.

I ran in that direction and stopped when I saw Harry. Jade hopped off my back a little to quickly and immediately fell over, hitting the ground with a loud thump but not catching Harry's attention at all.
