One directions mate

3

I want to apologise for the long awaited new chapter update, but here it is!!!!

*Recap*

"Where's Ashton!" I tried asking again. All of the boys looked back and forth and a guy with black hair replied "Liam has gone to get her" distaste was evident in he's tone. 

"So help me, if you touched a single hair on her head a can of whoop ass is coming your way." I whispered menacingly. I was furious at the thought of them doing any more damage to Ash. 

A few moments later Ashton was carried in by Liam. I ran towards them, taking Ashton out of his arms. "What happened? She looks so pale." I questioned, tears brimming my eyes. No answer. 

I began checking her vital signs, beginning with her head and working down. She was unconscious and unresponsive.

Her breathing was slow and shallow, which meant she was hypoventilating. Counting her respirations I realised that she was breathing  much too slow for normal. I decided I needed to check her capillary refill to check how much oxygen was being transported to the body extremities. Taking her hand in mine, I pushed my finger against her nail then released  and waited  to see how long it would take to return to the normal pink colour. After examining he capillary refill and taking her pulse I realised that she needed to be transported to the hospital as soon as possible. 

Turning behind me to the five ogling boys I decided that maybe if I gave myself up for Ashton they would take her to the hospital. 

"Please" I begged "she desperately needs to be taken to a hospital. She is hypoventilating and experiencing bradypnoea (an irregularly slow breathing pattern) resulting in her extremities receiving little to no oxygen, her pulse rate is way below normal taking her into bradycardia (an irregularly slow pulse rate). Please, if she isn't taken into hospital soon she may die. Keep me, if that is what you need. Just, please save her" I cried out, hugging my friend to me "she needs real medical treatment." 

The black haired boy ran straight at me and tackled me to the ground in a hug "we're keeping you." he replied " Go save the girl" he said turning to the boys. 

"Please save her" I yelled out from under the boy on top of me, as the others carried Ashton out of the door. 

I laid my head back on the ground for a moment, silently sending a prayer out that Ash would be okay. I was soon being picked up by black haired guy and taken to a different room down the stairs. It was filled with lounges and a large television hung from the wall. He sat us down, with me sitting on his lap, onto one of the larger lounges. 

I silently began crying as he stroked my knotted hair. "Everything will be okay in the end" he whispered in my ear. 

"How can everything be okay? When I've just been kidnapped and my best friend's life is in the hands of strangers. The very same strangers who kidnapped and hurt her in the first place." I croaked out as fresh tears streamed down my cheeks. 

"Not everything is as it seems" the guy smoothly responded, rubbing circles on my back. 

"Tell me how am I seeing this wrong then?" I retorted. 

"We are not normal people, my dear" he slowly responded "my brothers and I are... vampires." "For every vampire there is a soul mate that helps them to stay sane in the river of darkness which flows through them." "We are different to normal vampires in that we are royal. Therefore all five of us share one mate which strengthens us as brothers and as individual vampires."

"You've gone completely bonkers" I responded "completely bonkers" I wasn't sure what else I could say to the information he had given me, it sounded impossible. 

"You are our mate, little one." he slowly spoke "this is why we kidnapped you're friend, we thought you were living with her as we could smell you're sent throughout her house. We did not mean to hurt her, we merely needed to feed, otherwise when you turned up we could have killed her or you with our hunger."

"Wait you knew I was  coming?" I curiously questioned, how would they have known. 

"Of course we did, we could smell you're sent. You were staying behind the tree line, waiting for us to fall asleep." he responded simply "It was very smart actually, the only problem with you're plan is that we have advanced smell and sight."

"If you knew where I was, why didn't you just come and get me then?" my tears had now dried on my face stared back into he's hazel eyes. 

"Because we didn't want to make you feel like you had failed."

"So you made me feel like I had won and then took that away from me by taking us back, wow nice job" I sarcastically responded, turning my head away. 

"We didn't mean to hurt you, it's different for us. Normally a mate is another vampire which makes things less complicated. We were unsure of how to tell you." he slowly responded, unsure of what to say. 

"You really chose the winning circumstance, kidnap her and feed on her best friend"

"Can you ever forgive us? All we wanted was you're love" He whispered, tears brimming in his eyes. Something inside of me felt like it broke at the sight of him. 

"I guess I could try, if Ash is okay and you don't hold me captive here." I slowly expressed, unsure of what I was doing. 

He swept me up in he's arms and spun me around the room. Our laughter rung around the room for what seemed like ages. 

I soon became tired and we headed back to the couch. I laid down and was engulfed in a cuddle. 

"You know I still don't know you're name" I yawned out. 

"It's Zayn"he responded. 

"Zayn" I whispered as I fell asleep thinking of Ashton.
