"What the hell Harry?!" I shout pulling away, pressing my fingers to my bleeding lip
"I... I got carried away!" He stands up
"You didn't need to go all vampire on me" I complain walking away, but he grabs my wrist before I can, spinning me round to face him and only then did I realize how close we were as my face collided with his chest, I took a step back because Harry wouldn't allow me to go back any further by holding my hips.

I looked up at his face to see his golden eyes staring at my cut lip, I was scared. Immensely scared.
"Harry..." I say in a failed warning tone
"Uhm," He shakes his head making his eyes go to their normal colour "Come here,"
I nod carefully; eyeing his every movement as he dragged me into the bathroom. He put the toilet lid down before forcing me to sit on it. He tells me to stay before rummaging through the cupboard under the sink and pulling out anti-septic wipes; I laugh at how he's panicking over two tiny cuts
"What? It might get infected!" He says beginning to wipe at my lower lip, I admired his determination in cleaning the cuts, his eyes were wide and lips slightly parted, if he wasn't a vampire, he'd have to be an angel
"It won't" I say, but since I couldn't move my lips it sounded more like 'Er were' 

He looked at me seriously for a second before bursting out laughing. It wasn't even that funny! I roll my eyes; snatching the wipe from him and cleaning the two little scratches myself
"Why are you still laughing?" I huff; standing up and placing the wipe in the toilet before flushing
"You're voice.. No... Sorry I'll be quiet now" I just look at him weirdly before leaving him in the bathroom.

I run down the steps taking two at a time until I reach the ground floor "Ooh, someone got kinky" CeCe laughs when she sees my lip
"Shut up" I groan, walking passed her and into the living room.

"We're leaving tomorrow instead" I hear Niall say as I walk in
"Oh, why?" I butt in his and Greg's conversation
"Summer can't keep her mouth shut" Greg mumbles
"What's that supposed to mean?" I ask
"Her and Liam were talking about it in the forest... The werewolves heard... Now we need a head start" Niall expains.

I nod along. Why would we need a head start? And why don't we leave today, wouldn't it be easier if we were trying to out run a pack of wolves? I really don't know.

In all honesty, I can't really keep my thoughts straight. My mind keeps flittering back to that curly haired, idiotic vampire upstairs. What even happened? Like, I know we kissed but why? Will it happen again? What does this mean?
Actually, I don't care what this means. as long as I get that surreal feeling of his lips against mine again... I think I'm good.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Niall smiles at me
"Uhm" I stutter out "Why don't we leave today?" 
"She has a point, you know? Why don't we leave today?" Greg asks Niall
"Uhm, I'll tell the others. Alice, will you be packed in time?" Niall turns to me
"I'll get Harry to do it" I smile, before jogging back through the hallway and up the stairs.

I walk straight into Harry's room to find him just walking out of my own, lugging my large carry-on? I open my mouth to talk but he beats me to it
"I heard you" He grins, I nod before going into my room.

"Hey Harry?" I call, looking down at the little kitty snuggling into my pillow, when I sense Harry behind me I talk again "What are we going to do about, Maxxy?" I pick her up
"Um leave loads of food out?" He suggests humourously, but I think it's actually quite a good idea. I mean, we could leave out a couple trays of food since we won't be gone long and wha-la... A non-hungry cat when we return
"We could" I turn to face him "Like we will only be gone a week, tops. Right?" I say while using my index to stroke under Maxxy's chin
"Yeah.. I guess we could" He replies "Or do you want to her to stay at Eleanor's or Perrie's?"
"Well I don't really-"
"Know them that well? It's cool" He says, taking Maxxy from me "Just put out some food we're leaving in 15" He places Maxxy on the floor before going to leave.

Why is he being so blunt?

"Harry?" I shout and he turns around. Not to be cliche or anything but I run up to him, taking his face in my hands and kissing him softly. I know, I took him by surprise as he tensed up after a few seconds though he relaxed, his hand fell to my waist and he kissed back just as softly as myself. I wanted to savour this moment, I wanted to remember Harry. I wanted to remember how his hands sit perfectly on my waist, how his curls tickle my forehead, the way his lips collide with mine so perfectly - like two matching puzzle pieces, how he'd smile into the kiss when I forgot to breath, the way his minty breath and vanilla scent stir together creating a mixture that burns at my senses and the way we'd keep opening one eye just to check this is real before laughing into kiss when we caught each other. I'd miss moments with Harry because just like everyone else, he will leave soon. Whether he likes it or not.

Unfortunately, Harry pulled away. He stared at my eyes- No. He stared into my eyes, into my soul before smiling and peppering kisses all over my face causing me to giggle. 
"As much as I hate to end this. We have not got long, so pour that cat some food and get your arse down the stairs" He says and before I can reply him and my bag are gone. I sigh pouring biscuits into Maxxy's bowl as well as around it then pegging it down the two flights of stairs.

Just as I was about to jump from the third step up, Harry caught me, pulling me over his shoulder "No time for that" He sighs picking up my bag and using his occasionally annoying speed to zoom out the house, through the empty street, a herd of trees and finally the jungle I call: London centre. We knitted through the throngs of people on the high streets before finally nearing the edges of the hectic capital. 

I spot my old hide out in the distance, I haven't been there since I was around 13-14, of course the hide out would have been better if it wasn't just me... But still. I remember the warehouse in so much detail. Planes used to be built there, but not since the war now it's just a warehouse with a couple old spitfire's inside. I wonder if the guard is still there? He was so nice. Everyone used to take the mick and throw things at him whereas I'd ask him about his 12 year old, cancer patient daughter and give him cookies my mother and I made.

"Where are we going Harry?" I shout as we start catching up with Liam, Zayn, Niall and CeCe who are running together. 
"To the jet" He replies just as loud. The jet?! What jet?! Why are we going to a jet?!

How the fudge did they get a friggin' jet?!

"Just live in the moment, Alice!" I hear Louis call.

I nod even though he couldn't see me. Just live in the moment, Alice. I tell myself. 
Soon enough, we were walking through the doors of the warehouse and to no shock the old guard sat there attempting a Sudoku on an old, chipping wooden chair. But his once beautifully tan skin and radiant blue eyes, were a dull pale shade and saddening grey, his perfect skin was blanketed in light wrinkles and a small shadow of a beard, his once well built upper body was loose and more rotund. What happened to him?

"You know, him?" Harry asks, putting me to the ground. I stare at the familiar guard - Alfie - while distractedly nodding
"He's..."
"Different? Yeah, I thought that too" Harry looks at him, disgust shown on his features but sympathy was written his jade eyes.

"Daddy!" Someone calls, causing me and my vampire friends to snap out heads towards the enterance and their stood, the three giggling girls. Oh right...

"Jenny!" Alfie stands up completely ignoring our presence. Well that was uncalled for!
"He can't see us, Alice" Louis whispers "There's a barrier in here" I nod though I didn't understand what he meant...

"Harry?!" 'Jenny' squeals looking at Harry, who was smiling at her completely hyponotized walking towards her
"No! Harold!" Summer shouts.

"She's a succubus!"
