Falling For An Angel (A Niall Horan/ One Direction Fan Fiction) (AU) (Book 1)

Chapter 10

~ Louis ~

I sat on the stairs listening to what was going on. 

Zayn had just confessed that he loves Casey. I thought to myself. But I know that I’m in love with Carla Grey. And that’s being since the day and first time I met her. I sat near the bannister of the stair case. Just watching how Zayn and Casey are made for each other. I moved away from the bannister and walked to my room. Looking in. Carla lay there. Curled up. Her wavy brown hair fell down in front of her face. Falling down over her shoulders as well. I sighed. She was beautiful. 

Very Beautiful I thought to myself as I walked to my window. I have to go out and hunt. I need the blood. Harry was locked up in his room. And so was Niall. Liam took Ash out to get some fresh air after yesterday from when she collapsed. I quietly opened the window. Slipping out into the cool evening air. Away from some of the couples. Such as Zayn and Casey and hopefully Liam and Ash. 

The evening air was cool. But I had no feeling of it. Only wearing my signature look of striped shirts, suspenders and different coloured chinos or jeans. What ever you want to call them. Today I was wearing a blue and white striped shirt, red suspenders and green jeans. 

I stood on the tiled roof with a soft breeze blowing. My feet slowly scaling the vast expanse of tiles on the roof. Dashing away, I made my way towards the forest that stood near the house. I had to head to a clearing. Knowing that I would be okay there. Because I also had to learn to use my developing ability of fire. The others were still mastering the advanced side of it. Mine was basic. I kinda developed a lot later with my elemental ability than the others. But became a vampire around the same time as the others. 

The forest passed me by in a blur. Shades of greens and browns. The clearing came up in front of me and I slowed from my running pace to a walking pace. Heading into the shadows, I saw a few elk in the clearing. Animals pass by all the time but some of them don’t end up leaving. Their bodies sometimes are scattered through out the clearing. I sat on the ground in a crouched position. The scent of the elk washing over me. The pounding of the animals’ hearts reached my ears. My movements were soft and graceful. 

The elk will not know what’s coming I thought to myself. I moved away from the shadows and in a blur strikes down the elk. With a few of them fleeing away. I held one down. Biting into the elk’s neck. I could feel it’s struggles start to grow weak. It’s heartbeat started to slow down, until it completely stopped. 

The elk lay lifeless underneath me. I removed my teeth from the animal’s neck. Just looking at the body reminded me of Carla. She’s a ghost now because of death. I felt bad. Really bad. My element of fire was starting to course through my veins. And I could feel it. My blue eyes started to change. Turning to a red-y- orange colour. Fire started to burn through my veins heading towards my fingertips. I took a few steps away from the body of the dead elk. My skin started to tingle and my fingertips burned with the burning urge of the fire. I moved closer to the elk’s body. I placed my burning hands upon the elk’s body. Then it just went up in flames. I controlled it though. Burning the body. It all disappeared into ashes. With a flick of my wrist, the fire went out. My eyes returning back to their blue or bluey green colour. 

The bushes surrounding the clearing rustled. Shaking me from the ashes on the ground. 

‘Who’s there?’ I shouted. 

Carla came trailing out. 

‘Louis.... What are you doing out here?’ Carla spoke softly. 

‘I came out here to hunt....’ I replied softly. Walking over to Carla in a non- threatening gesture. We both looked at each other dead in the eyes. Her warm honey coloured eyes boring into my blue or bluey- green coloured eyes.
