Shapeshifter

Two

Harry just laid down on the ground, needing sleep after chasing nothing for hours. And he wasn't about to lose an arm to a dog. 

When Harry woke again the bed was empty and Harry could hear two people talking. Zayn and a voice he hadn't heard before. 

Harry quietly made his way to the stairs, using his amazing hearing to pick up on the conversation. 

"I don't want him here." The voice Harry hadn't recognized said a higher pitched than Zayn. 

"I know, you practically screamed it yesterday when he showed up." Harry heard and he was confused again, there was another person here all along. 

"He's a vampire! Zayn he could drain you of your life source in a few seconds. And even worse he is a pure blood, which means he could turn you into a monster." The other voice yelled. 

"He's not going to do that." Zayn followed up. 

"What makes you think that?" The other voice snapped. 

"If he wanted to hurt me he would have already. Not all vampires are like Eleanor." Zayn said. 

"I'd much rather have a werewolf around." Harry was offended, he really was, a werewolf? In Harry's opinion, and all vampires really, werewolves were the bottom of the bottom. 

"That's because all werewolves love you, they practically shower you in love and vampires, in your opinion, are blood sucking monsters with no heart." 

Harry started walking down the stairs, peaking past the corner and he grew impossibly more confused. Zayn was standing, alone, petting that cat from yesterday who purred, leaning up into the touch. 

"Harry, good to see you're up." Zayn smiled at him. "Didn't know if the myth was true or not." 

"What myth?" Harry asked. 

"That vampires don't sleep." Zayn finished. 

"We don't need to, but my pack always found it relaxing and better after we've slept. Makes us feel more human." Harry finished, eyeing the cat that looked a little too..... Weird in his opinion. 

The cat made a noise similar to a human scoff before jumping off the counter, flaunting out of the room, hissing at Harry on the way out. "Oh don't worry about him, he's a little over dramatic." Zayn said as if he were talking about a human. 

"The cat?" Harry asked. 

"What?" Zayn gave him a look of confusion. 

"The cat?" Harry asked again. 

"Who else would I be talking about?" Zayn asked, raising one eyebrow and Harry shrugged. "Anyway I'm going out for the next two days, don't break or kill or drink anything that belongs or lives in this house." 

"The cat and the dog? Vampires only drink human blood, and other vampires if they are in extremely desperate times." Harry explained. 

"Oh, there is far more than the cat and the dog, you may just not see them." Zayn winked and walked right out the door.

Zayn knew Louis would torment and play games on Harry while he was gone but Zayn couldn't care less. He had to get in through Louis' head that not all vampires were like Eleanor. Who killed Louis' last owners. 

Louis hadn't been the same since, not opting to leave the house unless to get something for Zayn when he was sick. Louis only turning to a human when in completely privacy, which made earlier rare. Zayn knew Louis was changed, traumatized as he watched his ex girl friend murder his family as he watched from outside, chained to the tree with iron, making it impossible to shapeshift.
