Stranger Things Happen

Chapter Four

Alex's POV

I started freaking out. What had I dragged myself into? This is a nightmare that I can't seem to escape. I ran to the bathroom, my shaky hands running through the strands of my tangled hair. I searched for, something. Something sharp. I found a pair of scissors, and brought them in front of my chest.

"What the hell are you doing?" Louis yelled as he grabbed the scissors from my hands and chucked them out the door.

I turned to him, with stressed eyes as I let drops of warm tears run down my cheek.

"I can't do this anymore." He immediately pulled me into a comforting hug.

"It's aright. Hey, it's alright." He said as his strong protective hands stroked my back.

Louis and I were sitting on my bed talking about what happened.

"Did Harry really try and do that?" Louis said, anger rising in each word. I nodded in response. "Head the words I spoke earlier. If you don't, that's what happens. I don't want to make you more upset, but that's reality." He spoke a little sad as his hand rested on my shoulder.

"If that's how you feel about Niall, why don't you just leave?" I said wanting to know why he stays when he dislikes being here.

"Because I-I, well I don't really want to talk about it. I've had a hard life, and I've done things I'm not proud of." He replied with guilt and shame through his words.

"You know you can tell me anything?"

"I like you, but if I tell you, you'll hate me." I smiled at his words.

"I could never hate you. And to prove it,"

I don't know what came over me. I think Louis is the nicest vampire I've ever met, though I haven't met many. I just felt so safe in his presence. I grabbed the back of his neck as I jumped on top of him, gently pressing my lips to his. I had to know how it felt to kiss someone so perfect. His grey eyes in confusion, for a moment before he began kissing back.

"Hey, Harry's still alive but he-" I turned to see Niall standing in the doorway hurt across his face. "Never mind." He said as he left the room.

Damn it.

"Niall, wait. It's not what it looks like." I said getting off Louis and catching up to him.

"Oh, it's exactly what it looks like."

"It didn't mean anything Niall. I promise."

"Just leave me alone. It's clear you don't have any feelings for me." He said as he entered his room and slammed the door in my face.

I walked back to my room.

Louis' POV

I sat up from the bed and ran my fingers through my hair. Niall's gonna kill us. Well at least me.

Alex walked back inside and came up to me. She was about to hug me when I pushed her off. She got a confused expression across her face, as to why I had kissed her only moments ago, but now didn't want to hug her.

"Look, I think it's best we don't do this anymore." I said gesturing to us. "Sorry." I said before I left her room.

@@@@@@@@

I was sitting in my room. I was terrified for my life. Niall had used his powers on Harry, what if he used them on me? That's a horrible thought. He wouldn't, would he? She came onto me. I didn't pressure her into anything, I didn't even suggest it. It was stupid. I was stupid. Maybe I could run. He'd probably still find me though. Perhaps if I went hunting it would take my mind off things. Though, animal blood just wasn't going to do it. I needed human blood.

I walked out of my room, down the stairs and to the front door using vampire speed. I stood at the door and looked back at the house, noticing not one person was visible and continued outside.

I sped off to an ally way. The night was beginning to creep over the town, which is when vampires are at their most powerful. I caught a scent of a female in her mid 20's and followed her down the ally. I stopped her once we turned a corner and pinned her to the wall.

"Get off me you freak." Just before she could yell I slammed my hand across her mouth and sunk my fangs into her neck. My mouth filling with her blood as it rolled down my dry throat. I drained her entire body, then healed the bite wound, to make it less suspicious.

I raced back to the mansion and walked inside. Zayn stopped me in my path, with a confused look plastered across his face.

"What's going on with Niall and you?" He asked with his arms folded. I ignored his question and shoved past him.

"I saw you go out earlier. Kill someone did ya?"

"Leave me alone Zayn!" I yelled at him as I continued to my room slamming the door behind me.

It had only temporarily taken my mind off Niall killing me. Maybe if I went and bashed the crap out of Harry, Niall would forgive me.

I walked to the wall and pulled on the candle stick. I stood impatiently as the wall shifted and the staircase that creeps down to the torture room, was revealed. I began to descend down the stairs as the darkness engulfed me.
