The Secret Lives of One Direction (A Paranormal Fanfic)

A Threat

Chapter Sixteen

Zayn's P.O.V.

For the bus journey for the rest of the day, the guys, Lena and I got to know Jacob Skelton. He told us about himself, we told him about Harry and his quirks - obviously we mentioned nothing paranormal, for Lena's benefit as much as his.

"Oh, and Harry always winks at the hottest girl in the audience!" Louis continued with his list of Harry's characteristics. "And--"

"Louis, it's OK," Jacob pushed gently. "I've been studying Harry Styles since his first audition! I'm kinda a fan-boy. I mean, of course, I think you guys are awesome, but I look like Harry. I actually have a lot to thank him for - the number of girlfriends I've had has sky-rocketed since you all became famous."

"Wow," Liam said.

"Well, I'm sure Harry will love to meet you when we find him," Louis smiled broadly.

Jacob rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly and remarked, "You sound so sure of it."

"What's that supposed to mean?" snapped Louis suspiciously.

"It doesn't mean anything, Lou," I interjected.

Louis glared at Jacob and received a hit on the arm and a stern look from Niall, saying 'don't be rude'. Louis sighed, plastered his face with a fake smile and continued on about Harry.

Harry's P.O.V.

Real vampires can walk in sunlight and don't have to sleep. Like any other creature, fire is deadly for us. Garlic does not harm us - but a herb called vervain does. And when I saw that Lucy had buckets of the stuff, I admit, I was fearful.

My prison cell was filled with candles, making the room so bright you'd think you were in the centre of the sun. This illuminated Lucy as she danced around me, every so often throwing vervain out of her gloved hand over me, burning me and causing me to scream. She talked to me as she did so.

"What happened to you, Harry?" the vampire asked me. "You used to be so... deadly! So powerful! What happened?"

"I... changed," I spat, my pain causing me to struggle to speak. "I didn't... want to kill... anymore. I... moved on. Found... friends."

"You don't need friends," breathed Lucy seductively as she bent down in front of me, looking into my face, which was bent downwards, mostly covered by my curly locks dangling down. "You have me."

"Had," I corrected her. "I don't... want you... anymore. Move... move on, Lucy."

Furiously, the she-devil leapt to her feet and dusted me with vervain, drawing a shout of pain from my lips. I tried not to give her the satisfaction, but I couldn't help it.

"I have moved on!" she shouted at me. "That's why you're here now, Harry! You meddled with my plans!"

"What plans?" I asked, curious but non-chalant.

"Oh yeah, like I'd tell you," scoffed Lucy. "I'll have to release you eventually, and I don't want you stopping my plans! That's why I'm teaching you a lesson!"

"Covering me with a deadly herb isn't a very good teaching method," I joked. The glare I received from that comment burned more than the vervain.

Lucy bent down beside me and whispered in my ear. "Don't mess with my plans again, Harry, or you may not get away so easily." I then felt a pinch in my neck and was flat out once more.

Zayn's P.O.V.

We weren't due for our next concert for another two days, so the driver pulled over to stop at a hotel for the night in a small town. Instead of getting a penthouse suite for all of us, we got two rooms: one for Niall, Liam and Jacob and one for Louis, Lena and I. The two rooms either side of us were filled with security staff. Altogether, the whole floor was filled with the other acts and security.

Our room had two single beds and a sofa-bed. After little discussion, it was decided that Louis and Lena would take the beds and I would be on the couch. We decided to rent a movie but we all fell asleep just as the opening scene began.

I awoke later to the sound of faint tapping at our door. I stretched and squinted at the clock: 4am. Figuring it was a concerned member of security, I flung my legs out of bed, slipped on a dressing gown and trapsed towards the door. Once I opened the door, I was met with a sight I wish I hadn't seen.

A/N Do my cliffhangers annoy you guys? ;) Sorry for what happened to Harry - did I go too far? Please tell me honestly.
