Changes (A Niall Horan romance)

Chapter 8

*Athena's P.O.V.*

I walked up my front steps, surprisingly exhausted. I found it weird, I thought vampires couldn't sleep. I guess I just watch to many T.V. shows. 

I opened the door, feeling the warm air wash over me. Familiar smells filling my nostrils, only severely heightened. One smell stood out from all the others, a deliciously enchanting.

Now that I was thinking about all my senses seemed heightened, I heard the music of a car passing by. I could see the individual grain that made up the counter, and of coarse the enchanting smell coming from the living room. Following my nose like a hound dog I made my way to the living room, spotting two heads sitting on the couch watching T.V.

Then everything vanished, all I could hear was the thump, thump, thump of a beating heart. Two actually. All I could smell was the beautiful sent that had lead me to this room. It was the smell of blood.

My temptation was almost overwhelming. The desire for blood almost taking over, until the blonde headed boy turned around.

His face turned into a beautiful smile and all need to kill, to sink my teeth into a neck dissapeared and all that was left was a desire for him. 

He was holding me there, he was holding me to the ground. All of a sudden he was the reason I was standing there. It wasn't gravity, it was him.

"A.J! Your back! What happened to you?" He exclaimed, standing and walking towards me, arms wide. 

My heart beat quickened, with each step he took. My lips turned up, forming a smile taking up half my face.

His arms wrapped around me, and its like the whole world dissolved. All that was left was me and him. I could have stayed there forever. Unfortunately, he was pulled away from me and replaced by another pair of arms, wrapping under my arms and resting their hands on my back. 

Then the temptation was back, I my teeth sharpen, the pulsating vain throbbing as it pumped blood to the head.

My eyes shot open.

I have to get away. I can't kill an innocent person. I took a step back to, shielding my face from sight and running out, at super speed. 

Shit.

I opened the front door, revealing a face I never expected to nor wanted to see ever again.

Gabby.

*Niall's P.O.V.*

"What was that?" I asked, frozen in astonishment. Athena had run out at an impossible speed, after hugging Dakota. 

"I have no idea." Dakota responded, just as shocked as I was.

I moved towards the front door, to where Athena had ran to. She was standing in the door way, door open, showing a scared anxious looking girl, a girl with bright red orange hair, wide blue eyes and a billion freckles. 

"Gabby. You made it." Dakota smiled, stepping forward to meet the frightened girl.

"You invited her here?!" Athena question, anger making a strong appearance in her voice.

"Yes, you guys are ridiculous! You need to work this out, its been 5 years!" Dakota exclaimed.

"She is not welcome here." Athena replied, I could  tell she was trying to hold back her anger.

What could Gabby have done to pull this reaction out Athena?

"A.J! You need to get over this! Its been to long for you to still be mad!" Dakota defended, crossing her arms over her chest.

"I SAID SHES NOT WELCOME HERE!" A.J. screeched finally turning to face us. 

I understood now why Gabby looked so scared.

Athena's eyes were about 7 shades darker, dark vein's stuck out under her eyes and when she spoke I saw two sharp teeth, almost like fangs.

I took a step back, fear shooting through me at her appearance.

When she saw my movement, her eyes softened and the vein's disappeared. Her eyes returned to their natural ocean blue and the fangs vanished.

Her face contorted from a look of anger to worry, fear almost.

"I-I'm sorry, I-I don't h-have control, I, I gotta go," she whispered, sounding frightened. Then with in  second she was gone, nothing left but a suttle breeze.

*Athena's P.O.V.*

I took off running, not slowing down until I reached my destination. There was only one person I could talk to, who would understand.

Harry.

I finally stopped running when I reached his front steps. Knocking lightly three times.

It took about a second for Harry to open the door. He took one glance at me and instantly pulled me into a hug. I gladly accepted the hug, nuzzling my face into his chest.

"Whats the matter?" He whispered, stroking my hair soothingly.

I then proceeded to explain everything that had happened from the moment I walked through my front door. He listened quietly, nodding occasionally. His eyes widened when I got to the part about Gabby showing up at my door step. 

"Gabby was there?!" He questioned, surprise filling in his eyes.

"Yes, but that's not the worst part, she saw me. She saw my eyes and teeth." 

"Wait what about eyes and teeth?" he asked. He probably hasnt' run into a human yet. Since he lives on his own.

"When I smelled Dakota's blood pumping through her vein's, I almost bit her. I felt my teeth sharpen, and my vision tinted red. As I left I felt under my eyes and vein's were popping out. It was some freaky shit." I explained as he lead me into the living room.

"Okay as much as I hate to say suggest this, I think maybe we should talk to Damon. He could help us not kill our friends and he could probably explain what you felt for Niall when you saw him." Harry said, plopping down on the coach. me following right after.

"How would we get in touch with him though?" I asked, we didn't have his address, last name or phone number. He was still a complete stranger to us.

"All you had to do was call." A familiar voice sounded behind us. I turned my head to see Damon leaning against the wall, arms crossed over his chest.

"How the hell did you know where I live?" Harry questioned, scooting a bit closer to me. Again taking the protective best friend role between me and Damon.

"Your my prodigy, we have a special bond. If you call me I'll show, goes the same for me calling you. You'll always show." He explained. 

"Okay....... that's going to take some getting used to...." I trailed off. "So, your going to explain everything right? Like what happened to me when I saw Niall?"

"Coarse, but first, you two must be starving. Lets go hunting" He smiled

All that passed through my mind was

'What exactly will we be hunting?'
