Chapter 13

"my what?!" Niall nearly yelled, forcing Harry to slap his hand over his mouth.

"Sshhh! your step dad is asleep." His boyfriend whisper-yelled sternly.

Niall nodded and Harry let go of his mouth. They were still standing in the middle of the hall, both possessing messy bed hair and sleepy eyes.

"Your sister, Niall your mother put her up for adoption when she was born. Due to the fact that she got bitten by a bad vampire. She scared the families that adopted her and the orphanage kept her separated from the other kids because they had never seen anything like it. She couldn't control it. But my parents went and adopted her, for you Niall. She's a young vampire since she hasn't been alive for one hundred years yet and she won't stop asking about her human baby brother." Harry smiled

Niall's eyes stung from emerging tears yet he smiled "what's her name?"

"Marleigh. Marleigh Horan."

"I can't wait to meet her. But since my mom sent her away because she was a vampire, does that mean she knows about the supernatural?" Niall asked.

Harry replied with a head shake as he spoke. "She thought there was something wrong with her"

Niall couldn't believe it. His loving, gentle, sweet voiced mother gave up her only daughter because she assumed something was wrong with her. He felt disgusted

"why would my mom do that?"

"I don't have the answers for everything, Nialler. Come on, it's time to go"

Niall nodded in response and walked into his room, flipping on the light before he made his way to the closet. He rummaged through books, fallen clothes, and yet to be unpacked boxes until he found a carry on suitcase.

Harry and him packed the things they thought he would need. Of course he packed clothes, his toothbrush, the essentials. He managed to cram his phone charger, some pictures, and a few books into the little space that the bag had left.

Niall slid on a pair of black converse and then they were off. Harry drove since Niall didn't have a car or license, the driver's test was just like any other test to him. They caused anxiety for him so he could never manage to pass.

This time, the blond enjoyed the drive to Harry's house. Even if it was long and rather awkward. He propped himself up against the door and Harry let the window down, allowing Niall to get lost in the passing trees, the darkness, the wind.

By the time the car stopped Niall's hair was messy, different parts pointing in different directions which made Harry laugh. He smiled, pecked Niall on the cheek and fixed his fluffy blond hair before opening the door and stepping out of the car.

Harry offered to carry Niall's bag and right whenever they stepped inside Louis was in front of them, a large grin spread across his rather tired looking face. "Harry told me your little secret."

Harry shot a look at Louis, indicating that he needed to be careful since their parents were still home.

"h-he did?" Niall stuttered, making both Louis and Harry chuckle.

"yes siree!" Louis chirped happily.

Niall forced a smile "that's nice..." he murmured

"don't worry Niall, I won't tell anyone. Well, your sister already knows- oh yeah! come on!" Louis grabbed Niall's hand, running instead of dashing in consideration for Niall's legs to the living room.

Sitting at a solid black grand piano on the other side of the room was a girl. She had blond hair, like Niall and from what Niall could see, amber eyes. She was pretty and she was staring directly at him.

Louis grinned and gave Niall a little push towards the piano before dashing out of the room. Just like that, he was alone with his sister he knew little about.

Niall took slow steps towards her, he couldn't tear his eyes away from his shoes. When he got close enough he felt a soft hand wrap around his wrist and he was pulled down beside his sister, sitting on the large mid century piano stool.

"hiya Niall." The girl spoke, she had a smooth Irish accent that soothed the blond's nerves.

"hello M-Marleigh..." Niall said slowly and looked at her. Her hair was rather messy, like Niall's. He wondered if she had just woken up too. He wondered if she liked music the way he did. He couldn't stop wondering.

Marleigh slid her hand down so that she could hold her brother's hand "you're shaking so much." She sounded sincerely concerned

Niall chuckled nervously "I do that a lot, uhm, do you mind if I you know, uh hug you?"

Marleigh smiled at his awkwardness and nodded "of course my bashful little brother can hug me." She held out her arms welcomingly

Niall couldn't resist, wrapping his arms around her rather tightly and burying his face in her neck as he laughed "how could I love someone so much I didn't even know existed?"

Marleigh chuckled and shrugged her rather smooth looking shoulders, in view due to the shirt she wore.

"I love you too, Niall."
