I Need You (H.S Vampire)

Chapter 8:

(Harry's POV)

We eventually reached the pond and it wasn't what we were all hoping. The strong smell of vampire blood stopping us in our tracks. It was only the size of house but it's strong colour of black stood out against the rocks and dry landscape. 

"So how do we do this?"

"Who's going first?"

"I'll go."

"Are you sure?

"I feel like I don't have a choice. I got us into the mess." I explained.

"Plus your link with Ellie might help warn her that you're in trouble if something does go wrong." Louis stated making us all question if this was a good idea.

"Thanks." I commented. 

"What?" Louis said as I rolled my eyes.

"No I think I should go." Liam spoke up. I turned around to him and saw him taking of his jacket 

"Why?" Zayn asked.

"I want to." He answered looking brave. 

"You sure?" Niall asked. I looked into his mind and saw the wall he put up to stop me from seeing his true feelings. I nodded towards him and 

"If I don't come back up, presume it's not gone well." He stated looking over the edge.

"This is such a risk." Zayn said apprehensively. I could see in all our minds that we were 

"A risk we have to take." Liam stated. He went round all of us and gave us a hug before hesitantly standing at the edge. He took a step back before diving in, the splash making us move back away from the blood. We stood looking over in silence as we waited. Every second feeling longer and longer in our eternal anticipation. He wasn't coming back up. I looked up to the others and I could see the worry on their faces. I could see Niall looking at his watch and then back at the blood and then back at his watch. I was watching Zayn struggle to use his ability.  

"This is ridiculous. What's the point of having the ability to teleport and not being able to go between portals?" Zayn spoke in his mind.

"Don't be harsh on yourself." I said to him vocally putting my hand on his shoulder for reassurance. 

"He's been ten minutes." Niall spoke up turning away from the pool of blood in defeat.

"It's not been that long." Louis said in denial.

"I've been counting. It's definitely been ten minutes. Now it's eleven." Niall answered when a sudden ripple in the water made us all turn back. An air bubble came to the surface. I looked at the others and they all looked confused. Then suddenly Liam spat out of the pool with force, flying him through the air and throwing him onto the deserted dry ground. We all ran to him as he began to cough up for air.

"Liam."

"What happened?"

"It's our exit. Once I was in, the blood was pulling my down like a cyclone. I had no control. It spat me out on a farmers field just outside of Cottershire."

"Yes Liam."

"How did you get back through?"

"It's the same on the other side. It's still a pool of vampire blood the other side but it looks like a muddy pool because of the field. It did the same thing."

"Well I don't need to hear anymore." Louis said smiling. 

"See you on the other side." He said waving to us and jumping in the pool. 

"I should have said it hurts like hell." Liam stated making us chuckle at Louis' lack of consideration.

"But it gets us out." I said patting his back in relief. We watched as Zayn jumped next and Niall following after. 

"You okay?"

"Yeah. I just thought I heard something."

"The quicker we get out of here. The better. See you there." Liam answered patting my back before jumping in. I looked around cautiously when I saw a figure come into view. A figure I recognised immediately.

"Simon?" I asked. Simon. Our creator. The original vampire. The original curse and the original threat. 

"Harold. It has been a long time." He replied smiling, his speed and strength running to me to shake my hand. 

"Not long enough." I replied with apprehension. I didn't trust Simon. He may be my creator but he put me and the guys in danger to seek some revenge. 

"Where are the others? Is it only you?" He asked looking around. 

"Only me." I replied. I tried to look into his mind and could only see a black shadow. There was nothing else. He knew what I could do and would protect himself but I had to try.

"Mm I see." He muttered.

"What trouble have you gotten yourself into now? Is it the little witch?" He asked

"How do you know about -" I asked.

"I know everything Harold. I make it my job to know." He replied cutting me off. He was circling me like I was his prey to intimidate me, slowing walking to try and get a sense of where my head was at. 

"How are you so-" I asked.

"Alive? One of the many curses bestowed on me. I'm stronger than my descendants. I don't crumble with the loss of blood" He explained. All of sudden, our conversation was disturbed with a piercing scream.

"I'll be back. We've got so much to catch up on." He said before using his vampire speed to vanish. I took the opportunity to make my escape and I jumped in the pool. 

Liam was right. The pain was excruciating. The blood was like pins being stabbed into every part of my skin, piercing deeper. Something Liam didn't mention was the screams as we went through. Loud screams that caused pain to my eardrums, giving me an immediate headache. I closed my eyes as I felt the blood take control, pulling my body somewhere. It lasted only a couple of minutes but the pain made it feel much stronger. Suddenly, I felt the wind hit my skin making me open my eyes as I flung into a green environment, my body hitting the grass with a painful sudden stop. I rolled a little as I hit the floor but I managed to stop myself. 

Taking a few blinks for my eyes to adjust, I saw the brightness first. I sat up trying to catch my bearing when Niall came over to me.

"Are you alright Harry?" He asked as I started coughing to get the air running through my lungs again.

"Yeah" I managed to say. I looked around and the new landscape was the opposite to what I had just left. The bright blue sky, the green grass, the sign of life in the village over in the horizon. I saw that Liam was laying on the grass exhausted, Louis crossed legged looking over towards me as well as picking at the grass looking bored. And Zayn was standing looking away towards the distance.

"We're back!" Niall said celebrating.

"We're back" I repeated quietly standing. 

"Where are we?" Louis asked getting up. 

"Back to reality." Zayn muttered sounding defeated.

"Oh mother of god what is that?" Liam shouted getting onto his feet in a second.
