Taking The Last Breath

Chapter 2

My eyes popped open. This wasn't my house. This wasn't my room. It took me a minute, but I finally realized what had happened.

This isn't real. I thought to myself. They don't exist. They can't. It is humanly impossible. But, then again, they aren't human.

I crawled off of the small cot that was in the corner of the room. I felt a pain on the side of my neck. I walked over to the small mirror hanging on the wall. My heart stopped.

There were teeth marks.

I walked over to the door and opened it a little. There was nobody in the hallway. I quietly stepped out of the room and tip-toed down the hall.

I came upon the living room and there they were. One of the men who attacked Gracelynn and I and two others were in the room with him.

I wondered a bit and they all turned to look at me. The blonde man who attacked Grace smirked. "Look who's awake." He said.

I felt my heart start to beat out of my chest. My mind was telling me to run but my feet were glued to the floor.

Before I could take another breath, the man was standing in front of me. I tried to yell, but nothing came out.

"What? No more screaming?" He chuckled, taking a step towards me. I started backing up when the man grabbed my arm, pulling me close to him. I felt a tear slowly rolling down my shocked face.

"Don't cry, love. I won't hurt you," He brushed the tear away with his thumb and smirked. "too much."

I wasn't very educated in fighting, bit I know that when you kick a man where no man wants to be kicked, you can get a lot accomplished. So that is exactly what I did. The man yelled out in pain, dropping my arm. I took the opportunity and started running back down the hallway. I didn't get too far before someone stepped out in front of me. I screamed and fell backwards, surprised. I thought that it would be the blonde man, but I was mistaken. I looked up to see a tall man with brown hair, who looked like a man you would see in a magazine. Strikingly beautiful.

After realizing my situation, I backed up on my hands away from the new creature. How many of these things were in this house?

He stared at me with confusion written on his face. After a second, it looked as if he realized something.

"You must be Lyric." He said.

I continued to crawl backwards, feeling the tears continue to Fall from my eyes. The man bent down to look my in the eyes.

"Don't worry. I'm not going to hurt you. I promise." He put his hand out for me to take.

After a second of debating, I reached my shaking hands out to grab his. He slowly pulled me to my feet. Just then, the blonde man walked over to us.

"You little bitch!" He yelled. The man who helped me up, pushed me behind him, acting as a shield.

"Niall! Calm down!" The man said.

Niall's eyes turned to a dark shade of red. I gasped, not believing what I just saw. "No! I was just trying to have a little fun with her and she kicked me!"

"Well she's not yours to 'have a little fun with'!" The man shielding me raised his voice.

A low growl left Niall's throat. I let out a small whimper, trying to hide myself a little more. The man looked at Niall, growing more impatient. "I think you need to go cool off."

Niall glared at me, letting out a sigh, then walking outside, the two other men following him.

The man that I was hiding behind turned around to look at me. "Are you okay?"

Was I? I was attacked, I woke up in a random house, only to almost be attacked again by one of the same angry creatures. I wiped away my new tears and slowly nodded.

"Come on." He said, putting his hand out for me to take again. I grabbed it, even though my hand was shaking horribly. "There's no need to be afraid of me, Lyric. I'm going to protect you add much as I can. I'm Zayn, by the way."

He led me back to the room that I woke up in and gently pushed me through the doorway. I turned around, tears fill-in my eyes for what felt like the thousandth time today. "N-n-no! Please! You can't leave me here!"

He looked at me with pleading eyes. "Please understand this. You won't have to worry about those guys if you're in here." I nodded, wiping my eyes and looking back at the room. "Because you have someone else to worry about." And with that, Zayn shut the door.
