    Zayn reached up, his eyes blinded by a extremely bright light above his head. His head was pounding, throat dry and cracked, in desperate need of a glass of water. He tried to sit up to get a look around him, only to feel a burning sensation rip through his body. He cried out, tears spilling down his face. He fell back against the bed, a loud banging noise erupting in the room he was in.

"Zayn!? Zayn can you hear me?" he heard an Irish voice erupt from somewhere above him. Niall. Zayn cried out as another surge of pain went through him, him doubling over, his stomach becoming queasy and the taste of something vile in his mouth. Zayn felt hand's touch his arms, cradling him. He soon found out it was Niall, him making shushing noises to try and calm him down. Despite the burning pain he was in, he couldn't help but notice that the familiar coldness of Niall's skin was no longer there, instead replaced with what felt like normal temperature. Zayn opened his eyes, only to meet with a blurry Niall, the boy above him's blue eyes wide with fear and despair.

"W-What's going on? E-Everything h-hurts." Zayn cried out, pushing more against Niall. Niall gripped him tightly, his mouth drawing in a straight line.

"I know Zayn, it hurts at first. Don't worry, everything is gonna get better, I promise."

Fear flooded Zayn, his eyes opening wide. What did he mean hurts at first? The thought processed in Zayn's mind, only to dawn on him a few short seconds later. Zayn noticed the change in Niall's body temperature, or the way that Niall's strong grip wasn't hurting or even bruising his skin. Did Niall... no.

"N-Niall, what-t did you d-do!" Zayn practically yelled, his hands clutching around Niall's elbows, causing the blond to let out a squeak in pain. Zayn's head shot up, him looking Niall directly in the eye. "Answer me!"

Niall's eyes went wide, him immediately getting frightened at the way that Zayn had yelled at him. Zayn's eyes were blazing, his hazel eyes burning with fire. Then Niall watched at how the hazel suddenly vanished, only to be replaced by black covering the white's and iris of Zayn's beautiful eyes. A small dull set of fangs appearing below Zayn's top lip. Zayn quickly closed his eyes, his face scrunching up in pain as his fangs fully lengthened, his fingernails digging into the skin of Niall's forearm. Zayn looked up at Niall, his tongue running over his new canines.

"Niall I don't w-want to be like this! I-I don't want to be a v-vampire!"

Niall looked down at Zayn, his ocean eyes sad but somewhere deep inside, happiness. Niall couldn't help but feel overjoyed that Zayn was going to be like him. He wasn't going to be alone. Zayn was never going to leave him. He was going to stay with him. Forever.

"I'm sorry, I just coudn't have you leave me." Niall exclaimed, leaning his head down toward Zayn so their foreheads touched together. Zayn's eyes kept flashing back and forth between black and their regular hazel, his body fighting and trying to comprehend what was happening. Zayn started to shake slightly, Niall gripping him tighter and embracing him.

"Just open your eyes Zayn. Just open your  eyes."

*~*

Zayn's eyes snapped open, his body coated in sweat as he gasped for breath like a fish out of water. Niall was on his knees on top of the bed beside Zayn, his hands splayed on Zayn's chest. Zayn re-acted before he could think, him pushing Niall away from him and scooting till he fell off the bed. His head smacked against the floorboards, but he quickly sat up and scooted away as far away from Niall as possible.
