The Strange One ↠ Z.M

Chapter 23

~Zayn's P.O.V~

Violet fell asleep quickly but I wasn't tired so i stayed awake watching her sleep. It might have been creepy to lay here and watch her as she slowly breathed in and out, but it was calming to me. I ran a hand through her soft blonde hair. Everything for once was peaceful and quiet. She wasn't mad at me, or yelling at me, she wasn't sad. I wanted this moment to last forever.

Just then the door swung open. The calm moment was over.

I turned over and saw Harry's silhouette. I sat up slowly trying not to wake Violet. "What is it, Harry?"

"We have a problem."

~Violet's P.O.V~

My eyes slowly opened, the window next to my bed let it the natural light coming from outside. My mouth was in throbbing pain. It was like i had a tooth ache but instead of on one tooth it was my whole mouth.

I sat up and suddenly realized Zayn was gone. I would've have thought he would still be here. I was a little hurt but I quickly forgot about that when I heard almost every sound imaginable.

I heard car doors slamming from next door. I heard the conversations of small talk outside. I heard my shower turning on. I sat there trying to cover my ears. It was driving me insane, I moaned in pain from my teeth.

Harry slammed the door open, making it hit the wall and the sound piercing my ears. How does Zayn deal with this?

"Violet?! What's wrong?" Harry came next to me, panicked.

I groaned, "My teeth... my ears..." I licked my lips, "I'm so...thirsty."

Harry picked me up and brought me into the bathroom, setting me onto the sink and turning off the shower. He stuck his finger into my mouth without saying anything to me about it beforehand.

Harry drew his hand back quickly. "Your teeth are coming in." I noticed some blood on his finger. "I'll be right back."

He left the bathroom and I could hear him rushing down the stairs, going into the kitchen and opening cabinet doors and slamming them, making me flinch. Harry quickly came back into the bathroom with a coffee cup filled with the thick red liquid. I didn't even want to say the word.

"Drink this," he said, out of breath. "It will help a lot."

I snatched the cup away from him and gulped the blood down. It tasted better than it did last night.

Way better.

The blood was gone in seconds. Harry was somewhat in shock with how fast I drank it. I put the cup down on the sink counter next to me. The pain in my mouth was going down. I could still hear every noise imaginable which was unbearable.

I scrunched up my face and held my head in my hands, "How does Zayn deal with this?"

"I'm not really sure" Harry shrugged.

I looked around, "Speaking of Zayn, where is he?" I hopped off the sink and walked out of the bathroom. Harry followed.

"Well, you see..." Harry trailed off and I looked at him expecting an answer. "He..uh"

"Harry, spit it out." Then I heard a car door slam outside.

Zayn was back.

I rush down the stairs and Zayn comes in the door just as I get to the bottom of the stair case. I could see it in his face that he was angry, very very angry.

"Zayn where-" I was cut off by Zayn wrapping his arm around my waist and pulling me in and kissing me.

I kissed him back and pulled him closer. I didn't know why he was doing this but I wasn't going to complain.

Zayn pulled away and put his hands in his pockets, "Sorry Vi, I needed that." I smiled a little and Harry came down to us. Zayn cleared his throat, "Violet I need you to go upstairs and pack a suitcase. Pack a bunch of clothes and whatever you need. It isn't safe here anymore."

"What do you mean?" I questioned.

Zayn ran a hand through his hair, "Just do it, please."

I didn't argue. I ran up to my room grabbing my neon pink duffle bag. I didn't really know what I was grabbing I just threw as many things into the duffle bag as possible. As i was doing this I heard Harry and Zayn talking.

"He's sending others?" Harry had a strain in his voice.

"Yes. We need to leave and go somewhere safe. She needs to get stronger and work on her new abilities. She can't do that here with people coming to attack." Zayn's voice was shaking. "I could only put them off track a little, they could be here any time now."

I made my way back downstairs with my bag. I smiled acting like I didn't know what was going on. Only Harry actually knew I could hear everything. But the downside to it is that I had a raging migraine. I don't even know how I was walking around right now, if I was still human this would probably put me in the hospital, that's how bad it was.

"Let's go." Zayn held out his hand waiting for me to extend mine.

I took his hand and we went out to a car I've never seen before. Harry came behind us, locking the front door with a key I don't remember giving him.

Harry sat in the back seat which was nice because Zayn put his right hand on my inner thigh the whole time we were driving. I had no idea where we were going and I didn't want to ask to make Zayn even more upset.

After about a whole 45 minutes of driving, Harry asleep in the back, we came up to a cabin in the middle of the woods. Zayn turned off the engine and we sat in the car for a moment as I looked around.

"I know you don't know what's happening, and I appreciate you not asking me a thousand questions. " Zayn spoke up, giving me a smile.

I simply nodded, "Ready to go inside?"

"Someone has to wake Harry up and it is not going to be me." Zayn laughed.

I furrowed my eyebrows, "I ain't doing it." I said jokingly, even though I really wasn't going to wake him up.

Zayn shook his head, "No no no, you're doing it  sweetheart."

"Don't be Mr. Bossy." I crossed my arms and gave him a mean look.

Zayn mocked me as he crossed him arms, "Don't be Mrs. Bossy!"

We heard Harry groan as he sat up, "God please stop flirting or whatever the hell you're doing! I'm awake geez." Harry grabbed his bag and headed inside the cabin.

I giggled and Zayn laughed along with me. He stared at me and smiled, "God you're adorable."
