Protection

Chapter 6

POV Vanessa

I wake up in Niall's arm remembering the day we had spent together. I got up and used the restroom. I came back into the room and saw the clock. It was 4:17 am. I looked out the window and felt the wind hit my face. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I felt arms around my waist. I turned around only to see Harry's face. I gasp and he covers my mouth. 

"Shh. We are going downstairs to the basement. I need you to be quiet and you won't be hurt," he whispers into my ears.

I nod. He pushes me out of the room and slowly closes the door behind me. We continue our way down the stairs until we make it to the basement. When we get to the room he pushes me to the ground. He then squats next to me and looks me directly into my eyes.  

"Do you really believe that Niall really loves you?" He smirked.

"He does love me," I respond with anger. 

He slaps me across the face.

"Do you believe that a vampire would love a human? He is only keeping you for your blood...and he is playing with your emotions," he says as he stands up and turns around and stares at the door.

"no...," I say on the verge of tears.

"It's true! He is only keeping you alive in order to have a living, breathing, blood bag."

"Stop Harry...your lying."

"Oh, I'm lying?"

He walks to the other side of the room and puts a disk in the CD player.

"Have you ever seen the footage?"

I look at him in shock. He pushes play and Niall appears on the screen. Niall appears to be having a conversation with Harry. In the film, he says everything that Harry had told me. I begin to cry and I cover my face. Harry turns off the tv and hugs me. I cried into his chest and fell asleep in his arms.

POV Harry

Vanessa fell asleep in my arms. I picked her up and carried her to the couch. I lay with her and covered us with a blanket. I held her close. I began to whisper things into her ear.

"Niall does not love you. He is using you as a blood bag. He is fooling around with you. Niall DOES NOT love you."

I smirk to myself as she begins to tear up in her sleep. She grabs onto me and tries to get closer. I embrace her and put my head in the crook of her neck. I can hear her heartbeat. But I can't drink her blood or else the plan would have been for nothing. I fall asleep to the sound of her heartbeat.

POV Vanessa

I woke up and Harry was hugging me. I ran to my room and Harry grabbed my arm before I could make it out the door.

"What do you want!" I stated.

"Where are you going?"

"To my room, I'm going to see Niall."

"So you're going to the person that uses you."

I had no words. I recall last nights events including the video I had seen. He let go of my arm and I continued to walk to my room. When I arrived at my door frame, Niall got up and stared at me. I continued to walk into the room.

"Where did you go to last night," he said with concern.

I take a deep breathe and let it out slowly.

"I'm leaving..."

"Where are you going? You can't leave princess."

"Don't ever call me princess again!"

I over reacted. I stomped my foot and turned around heading out of the room. Before exiting the room I said one last thing to Niall.

"I can't believe you thought of me as your food," I said as I closed the door.

I could feel the tears roll down my cheeks. I go to Harry's room and he's at his desk organizing something. I knock on the open door and he turns around. I slowly walk towards him and wipe my tears with my sleeve. He stands up and meets me halfway. He hugs me and I hug him back. I begin to cry harder into his chest. I can feel as he strokes my head. I lift my head and make eye contact which him.

"I can't stay here anymore," I whisper. 

I look down and take a breath. Before I make eye contact with him again.

"Can't you take me home or take me back into the forest where you found me? I might be able to find my way back home"

"Well..."

Harry looks up humming to himself before giving me an answer.

"Are you sure you want to leave?" He asks looking into my eyes.

I nod my head in agreement.

"FIne but remember this is your decision."

I nod again. I pull him in closer.

"Okay. There is a small cottage in the woods. My friend lives there. He can take care of you so you do not have to live here and see his face again. Okay?"

"Okay," I say.

"What am I suppose to tell the boys?" Harry says as he lets me go and starts to walk toward the window.

"Just tell them I need some time outside the castle," I say as I walk towards Harry.

Silence.

After a few minutes, Harry breaks the silence.

"What if they still want to see you?"

"Well please don't let them know where the cottage is..."

"Okay," he said as he turned away from the window, left the room and walked down the stairs.

I sat on his bed and started to think about what Harry showed me about Niall. Is that how Niall really sees me? I taught that Niall loved me.
