 **ZAYN"S POV**

I run as fast as I can back to the house with the bleeding girl in my arms. It is taking every ounce of restrain in me not to drink the blood dripping from her neck. Jade watches us intently, every finger I lay on the mystery girl makes her internally wince but I try not to pay attention. I guess I do feel bad, but I have bigger problems right now. As soon as we get in the house I run upstairs and place her on the bed. I examine the two bites on her neck. They aren’t that bad, she will most likely be okay but I have to stop the bleeding before she loses too much blood.

I pull myself away from the beautiful girl and the delicious liquid that is falling onto the floor.

Drip

Drip

Drip

I can hear from across the room. I grab a tee shit and press it against her neck with my head pulled in the oposite direction. She winces and I wince too, as if I could feel the painin her neck just as much as she could.

“Don’t worry.” I say trying to hold my breath. “You are going to be fine.”

I plug my nose and sit up against the bed looking at her She has wavy shoulder length blonde hair and emerald green eyes. Her eyelashes are thick and she has plump pink lips. She has a small frame.  Very skinny, and judging from the point of view of someone who carried her for the last ten minutes, very light. But she has curves in just the right places.

To sum it up she is beautiful.

She is looking straight ahead at the wall, “Am I going to die?” she asks in a high pitch shaky voice.

I take her hand in mine and try to give her a reassuring smile. “I wont let you die,” I whisper.

She finally looks at me and then gasps. I look at the floor realizing that I am covered in her blood and my eyes are probably red. She takes her hand from mine and tries to move away from me. She stops though as the pain in her neck gets worse though and settles for keeping her hands in her lap and her eyes on the oposite wall.

I feel my heart ache as the pain of her fearing me settles in “I wont hurt you. I am here to protect you” say truthfully.

“Why are your eyes red” she says, her voice shaking even more as a lump forms in her throat and tears in her pretty blueish green eyes.

I sighed, ready for the hardest part “Because I’m, I’m a…”

“…Vampire?” she asks.

My eyes watch the back of her head in curiosity, she is pretty up to date for someone who has probably lost half the blood in their body and pretty calm with the fact that I could kill her at any moment. I clear my throat “Yeah.” I say looking at the floor.

She lets out nervous laugh. “Why am I here?” she asks looking around the room.

“You’re my, my mate. Do you know what that means?”

“Unfortunately.” She gulps

There is an awkward silence.

“Well, you are taking the news pretty well” I say pressing my hand to my nose harder when a drop of blood lands on my leg.

She sighs. “I guess you could say I’m accustomed to bad news.”

“How so?” I ask curious about her back-story.

She folds in her lap. “Why should I tell you?” she says meeting my eyes again with confidence in them.

“Do you really want to challenge a vampire while you sit bleeding inches away from me?” I ask.

“Can we just…. not talk about this right now. I just found out that I am stuck with a whole bunch of bloodsuckers for the rest of my life. Can I just have a couple of secrets for a little while?” she asks.

I am surprised at how forward she is. I remember when Hope and Jade first came they barely spoke at all.

But this one is different.

“Can you at least tell me your name?” I ask.

“Lilah.” She says looking at the wall. “Delilah Parks.”

**JADES POV**

I study my self in the mirror, I really am one of them. My hair is matted; my mouth is covered in blood, and my eyes red with gold flecks. I right now I want to punch Zayn. He tells me I am his mate and then the first girl that he sees is now his new mate. I can understand now why Zayn is still single. I walk out of the bathroom after failing at trying to calm myself down. As soon as the door I meet a pair of green eyes.

“Here” says Harry handing me a tee-shirt.

I reluctantly take it and close the door again. Oh yeah, I have to sleep with Harry now because he destroyed the guest bedroom. Well I guess that this does prove that Harry is my mate now that Zayn has moved on from our heartfelt four day relationship. Bu that doesn’t change the fact that I am mad at Harry. I pull on the tee shirt and walk in to his room. I grab a pillow and lie down on the floor. 

He rolls across the bed and looks down at me, “You would rather sleep on the floor then in a bed with me?” he asks, trying to cover the hurt in his voice with jest, unsucsesfully i might add.

I don’t answer.

Harry sighs “Here.” He says getting out of the bed then picking me up.

“No.” I say shrugging him off. I unintentionally send HArry halfway across the room. We both cringe at the bang that emites from Harry's back hitting the wall, but he quickly stands up and shakes his head.

He laughs a little. “Come on Jade, just get in the bed.” He says rolling his shoulders and walking back over to me, offering me a big calaced hand

I narrowed my eyes “You broke our promise you-“

“I saved your life.” He says simply. “And I haven’t gotten as much as a thank you! Your heart stopped beating Jade. It was either be a vampire or die.”

Be a vampire or die.

Stay with Harry or end everything.

Be a blood sucker or go up there.

“Thanks” I mutter.

“Yeah. Now get in the bed.” He says pointing to the spot next to him.

I pick up the pillow and climb in.

I turn around and look at him.” Was I really… dead?”

“Yup” He said as if it were the scariest thing he had ever seen.

It probably was.

I quickly kiss his cheek and then turn around again and close my eyes.

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

I climb down the stairs rubbing my eyes. I didn’t get to finish last night so I wanted food, and I knew that I needed Harry if  I wanted to get it.

“Haz?” I call through the house.

“DOWN HERE!” he screams back

I don’t know why he is screaming, I can hear just as well as he can now. My feet hit the floor boards and when I look up I gasp. The familiar blonde perky girl sitting in the chair with two big holes in her neck form last night stands there with her mouth hanging open. “Jade?”
