Demons [H.S] (Complete) ✓

Chapter 8

Sorry for this shortish chapter. :/ But I wanted to update since a lot of people wanted one. :) I hope this chapter isn't to sucky. Once I get this posted and shared on Tumblr and Twitter to get the word out I'll start working on the next chapter. Enjoy!

Jessie's POV

I honestly didn't know how this whole "meeting" thing was going to go seeing as they were probably just going to say things that I already knew. They would say that I couldn't leave because I would tell someone or that they needed to discuss options about what to do with me. And I honestly knew that one of those options was going to be to just kill me then dump my body in the woods. I shivered slightly at the thought.

Harry led me into the living area and wrinkled his nose slightly at the couch. None of the other boys were using it and I could see why. It looked wet and smell really bad and kind of curled my appetite just a bit. He walked over to something that was laying on the floor then walked over to the far wall. After glancing at me for a brief moment he began to shake out the dust that covered it then he laid it on the couch so that it would be as bad

I blinked. He just did that. He did that for me after he almost raped me in his bedroom. I smiled faintly at him before I crawled to sit in the middle of the couch. Both Niall and Louis situated themselves on my right side while Harry sat down on the other. That left Liam and Zayn sitting on the floor in front of us.

Louis over a carrot stick to me. "I don't have any ranch or anything. We couldn't buy it because it'd go bad quicker than we could use it."

I shrugged. "I prefer them raw." I responded and took the carrot stick from him then I took a bite of it gratefully. It was the first speck of food I'd ate since this morning at my kitchen table and that seemed like almost a lifetime ago. I looked up at the windows that were currently covered with blankets, to keep the chill out of the room, I assume, to see that it was dark. Really dark and that would most likely mean that it was late. "What time is it?" I asked quietly at no one in particular.

"'Bout midnight. That's what time we usually eat dinner." Harry said from beside me as he began to eat his sandwich.

I slowly nodded and nibbled on the carrot stick. "What is it you guys need to talk about? Because if it has to do with..what to do with me..just tell me straight up whether or not you're going to kill me." I said quietly and glanced around at all five male faces.

The expressions around me were a mix of shock, sympathy, tensed jaws, and sorrow. Did they seem to care that much about me or was it just the fact that none of them planned on doing this and didn't want to kill an innocent female that clearly didn't want to be there as they didn't want her there? I sighed quietly at the thought.

"Jessie, I told you. We're not going to kill you." Louis said and patted my shoulder reassuringly.

I pressed my lips together and glanced down at my hands. "Then what are you going to do with me? Because..I don't want to stay with you guys forever. I have my family and friends that care about me and right now my mom is probably freaking out because my picture is all over the news from the bank security cameras or something." I said quietly.

Louis pressed his lips together. "We don't exactly know what to do. That's why you're sitting here with us right now."

I laughed quietly. "I thought I was sitting here right now to eat something since I haven't all day."

He shrugged. "That too."

I chewed on my lip and glanced around again. The two males sitting on the floor were looking at me, but their gazes didn't make me feel uncomfortable anymore. Zayn even appeared to be smiling reassuringly at me while Liam stared stone faced. I gulped quietly since I could picture him killing me just as easily as I could picture Harry doing it.
