Secrets to Keep (One Direction Hybrid FanFic, Larry Stylinson)

Chapter Four

I woke up with a start, nearly falling out of my bed. My mind and heart raced as the nightmare relapsed in my brain. Was it a nightmare? Or was it a dream?

I shook my head, and got up. The clock read 6 o' clock, so I got dressed and went downstairs. Liam and Niall were already down there making breakfast. Liam was making stacks of pancakes, but they never seemed to make it to the plate with Niall hovering behind him. I smiled.

"Where's Louis and Zayn?" I asked.

"Louis is upstairs, probably asleep. Zayn's in his flat nextdoor, he's probably been doing his hair." Zayn had recently gotten a flat, apparently. He was doing renovations , and then his girlfriend, Perrie, would be moving in. "Why don't you go wake Louis up, yeah?" I nodded and rushed up the stairs.

I creaked Louis' door open a crack, to see he was still asleep with the lights off. I stepped in his room, which smelled like him. I lost myself in his scent, bathing myself in it. I was drunk with it, and I hadn't realized myself moving towards his bed. My ears immediately perked, and I sat on the bed. I curled around him, purring loudly. Louis smiled, still asleep, and wrapped his arms around me.

"Hey there little kitty cat... what are you doing here..?" He said, rolling over and snoring. I had completely let my cat side conquer my human side.

I had a cat side?

I know that Hybrids go through a period in their life when they could totally change their personality. Like becoming more cat than human, or more human than cat. I shivered at the thought, and flattened my ears.

I was in Louis' bed.

I jumped off and shook him awake. "Louis, get up. Got to get ready for school."

Louis groaned and rolled off the bed. "Ow.."

"Louis get dressed, you're gonna miss breakfast."

Louis yawned loudly, not getting off the floor. I couldn't see him, but i could tell he was curled up trying to fall asleep again. "What are we having?"

"Pancakes."

He was up on his feet in seconds. "I'll be down in a few." He said.

I left him and went downstairs. I sat at the counter thinking about what had happened. Could I really be becoming a cat more than a human? Liam passed me a plate of pancakes.

"What do you want for a drink?"

"Milk." I said, all too quickly.

He laughed and poured me a glass. I gulped it down and ate the pancakes.

"Well, Harry, are you planning on coming to school today?" Liam asked. Niall was stuffing his face with pancakes, maple syrup oozing out of his mouth. His cheeks puffed out like a hamster.

"Er.. No, I think i need one more day, if that's alright. I'd also like to visit an old family friend." I replied. A questioning stare came from Liam. "He's in the hospital. I would've stayed with him but.." Liam nodded and filled two more plates. He sat down next to Niall and started eating. He left the other plate for Louis, who sat down next to me.

"Mornin'"

We all mumbled 'mornin's' and continued eating. Finally, Liam left early since he had extra classes, and Louis and Niall left to walk, leaving me home alone. After about an hour, I left the house and started walking to the animal hospital. I may have lied about the "family friend" being in a hospital, but it was sort of the truth. Dr. James Walsh knew about me and hybrids. He researched a ton, and even became a double agent scientist in a lab that tested and created hybrids. He didn't talk about it much, and ever since he started working there as well as his real job, he's been avoiding me. But now i need his help.
