#Harry's POV#

I watch Alice rant on about how she thinks I have drugged her drink, I deny it a few times when she pauses but she just starts shouting and panicking again. Honestly though, the drink should've only had a small sour taste from the potion I was given - Anti-Hydration Temptation.

As far as I know, it basically stops a vampire craving blood for a while. In other words, make them seem human, make them able to be around humans and such.

I try to listen to Alice but Louis was in my head saying some... Disturbing things about Alice and I. 

'...And after that... You'd have a little baby Harice on the way!' Says Louis after a very detailed speech causing me to tilt my head back in laughter.

"What's so funny?" Alice fumed, turning red, which made me laugh harder
"Harold!" Louis' voice shouted above my laughter and I looked up at him causing his words come back to mind and I laughed even more. I saw him roll his eyes before looking to Alice "Are you okay? You look a bit... Red" Louis chuckles slightly and guess what I did?

I laughed even more.

"Eurgh! He drugged me!" She screams causing animals to scamper away and birds to flee the once homely branches
"I'm sure he didn't" Louis shook his head immediately understanding what she was referring to "I'll prove it... Pass me the drink" 
As told, Alice rummaged through the leaves in search for the bottle she had repeatedly thrown at me. Once found she placed in Louis' possession, he winked at her before drinking some of it. A golden colour pooled his eyes in delight as he chugged the rest down "Oops all gone" He laughs handing her the empty bottle, she stares at him wide eyed as if to say 'Oh no you didn't' but instead she stared at the empty bottle that once contained the drink she so desired.

And god do I understand why she looked so pained to have that beautifully sweet drink taken away from her. That was human blood.. From the blood bags she had got for us... Human blood was... Indescribable, the body sugars blended with the vitamins creating a fruity taste... Almost like strawberries and sugar. Now, I don't know what it tastes like to anyone else but to me that taste was perfect, it was heaven and that is why Alice was slowly getting addicted, it was like a drug. It was a vampires Ecstasy, it helps you hit that high that you'd never be able to reach alone.  

Blood to us was sweets to a child. Sight to the blind. Love to the lonely. Beer to the Irish. It was us, it is what makes us... Us. And no it wasn't a good thing, but the moment the liquid leaks through your throat nothing else matters except you, your drink and the pure high that will surely come.

"Alice... We should go" Louis' says sensing my new found hunger, Alice nods as she watches the change in my eyes. I eye her movements carefully as she crawls upon Louis' back and he rushes her off elsewhere before I drained her of her immortal and mortal blood cells. (A/N: Idk if it is but the next bit might be a little gross, I'm not sure, just a warning though x)

I stayed perfectly still taking in the feel around me. My fangs poked against my bottom lip as they grew out, all visable colour was taken as anything heated shone red, heart beats could be heard and stenches could be smelt but it was a matter of finding one near. Snap. A twig cracks and I turn to see a full grown deer peacefully munching on shrubs.

I silently made my way towards it, the leaves shuffled slightly beneath my feet but thankfully it didn't hear, I creep my way forward before pouncing on my prey. My teeth slicing through the many layers of skin with no resistance, sucking and nibbling I finally managed to drink and once the pleasurable flavour flooded my taste buds, I was close to my high.. I'll never reach it though, not with animal blood.

I pulled away when there was nothing left in the poor animal's veins. I felt bad and I regretted it of course. But I am who I am and if I could change... I probably wouldn't.

I saw a rabbit go by and I was still seeking my long awaited high. So I had no choice but to pierce the innocent skin, the cooling liquid sent chills through me. My feeling of rapture intensifying until the bunny was no longer.

I know what I am. I hate what I am. But I live with it.

Everything has a purpose and I know mine.

My purpose is a promise... But as the days go by, more problems arise and I no longer think I can keep that promise...

Am I going to be able to keep Alice safe?

#Alice's POV#


I sighed as I sit in the back of the car looking at the empty bottle. Oh how I crave that voluptuous drink. I have yet to know what flavour it is but I think it's passion fruit, but I'll have to ask.

"When's Harry back?" I whine, just wanting to go home and sleep
"When he gets back" Summer bites; I just roll my eyes
"What is taking so long? Is he like hunting out half the forest?" I sarcastically remark, but they all look up from whatever they were doing and stare blankly at me "Oh my god! He is, isn't he?!" I shout
"Shit! Louis stop him before he smells Alice!" Liam roars, showing his protective nature and just like that Louis and Niall had gone to stop Harry.

"I swear to god if Harry touches Louis or Niall, I am going to tear him apart" CeCe threats as she watches the blurs run through the columns of trees
"What does she mean?" I ask Liam
"Harry can be... Agressive... Like murderously agressive" He explains sending shivers down my spine.

"Yeah, to be honest I'm surprised you're still here, I mean all you ever do is piss the guy off" Summer intrudes
"Zip it!" CeCe demands
"No! She needs to hear this" The younger vampire shouts, eyeing me evilly "You don't belong here! You're slowly destroying us! Tearing us apart and you don't even see it because you're so self centered and uptight you don't notice anything that is around you" She paused but only to silence the protests of CeCe, Zayn and Liam "You're a pathetic excuse of a being! You're toying with Harry. You don't see how hard he's falling and I bet all you can think about is escaping; running away" She shouts. I blink rapidly as she begins to talk again in a deathly bitter voice "You know... If you run away, you're just going to die. We're all going to die-!"

"Enough!!!" Harry's loud voice caused birds to fly from their nests and unknowns to gallop away in distress "Just shut up Summer, I think your case of lamprophony is getting a bit much.. Bloody gasbag" He mutters the last two words.

Summer looked shocked to say the least as she begged for Liam to back her up but he stayed quiet as did everyone else. I was only silenced as I processed everything she had said.

She was right.

But that wasn't bothering me... "You're toying with Harry. You don't see how hard he's falling"  Was she seriously implying that Harry liked me... Loved me, possibly? It was unlikely but indeed probable as he did infact, rescue me multiple times without me actually knowing, take me in, caring for me, protecting me and rarely letting me leave his side. The thought of Harry actually liking me as much as I liked him gave me butterflies and I wanted to grin, but given the current situation that wouldn't be best.

Could you imagine it? 

Summer and Harry having a proper stare down and I just randomly grin. That wouldn't seem strange at all would it?

"Stuff this! I'm running home" Summer states; leaving the car and blurring off into the distance, later followed by Liam who claimed he needs to look after her. 
"Sorry about her, love" Harry shakes his head, climbing into the seat next to me which had previously been occupied by Liam.
"It's fine. She's right" I smile fakely.

"And you're okay with that?" He looks so confused
"Absolutely perfect" I lie.

Inside I'm screaming, dying for a way out. I need to run away. I have too.
