Deadly Rose

Chapter 17: Harry

I slammed my fists against the table after Angelina finished telling me what she discovered. I couldn't believe that Jazlyn thought that I was bewitching her and that she was in love with that damn vampire. I ran my fingers through my hair roughly and took deep ragged breaths.

“What else?” I said harshly.

“Jazlyn kept telling me how he will take us somehow, that he'll find a way to do it.” She shrugged, “That's all I got from her. He planted in her head that you were tricking her and trying to take her away from that vampire. She believes that you're the villain.”

“That's not true though!”

“I know it's not.” Angelina sighed.

“Did something like this ever happen to you?”

She nodded, “Niall took me out of it.”

“Why can't Niall do the same thing to Jazlyn?”

“There's no connection between Niall and Jazlyn. Niall already drank my blood and the one who bewitched me was first class and since Niall was superior during that time, he just made that vampire let me go.” Angelina looked at me. “There's more to what Jazlyn was telling me. Harry, Jazlyn believes that the vampire loves us and...I have a feeling the vampire made her believe she loves him.”

“I have to talk to her,” I mumbled, but Angelina stopped me. “Get out of my way.”

“It's not a good idea and you know it! Harry, we need figure out more than this. You see how she is when you come close to her. She's ready to lash out and attempt to kill you.”

“What do you suggest we do then?” I glared at her.

Angelina looked down and was in deep thought. Finally, she looked up at me. “Maybe seeing her will be a good idea.”

“What do you have in mind?”

“I noticed something when I brought you up a few times. She looked like she was in deep thoughts, as if she was remembering something. That might be her fighting. You're the key to helping her.”

“How do you suggest I fix this?”

Angelina tilted her head to the side, “You captured her heart before. You can do it again, Harry.” She placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. “Do whatever you did to get her. She was a vampire hunter and hated our race, but she fell in love with you in the end. You can do it, so go.”

I nodded, “Take the others out somewhere. I need to handle this alone.”

Angelina nodded and grabbed the others. They all gave me comforting pats on the back before they walked out. I gave them all a nod before they shut the door. I took a deep breath as I stood up from the couch before I went to Jazlyn.

I walked over to the coat closet and opened the door. Jazlyn was glaring at me as I closed the door behind me. I watched as her fists tightened. “Jazlyn,” I began. “I know that you're thinking I was the one bewitching you, but I'm not. It's that vampire in the forest that was doing that to you.”

Jazlyn scoffed and turned her head away.

“Baby,” I stepped towards her, taking note that she might lash out at me. “Do you remember the first time I officially met you? We were at the alley near Mystique and you got into some trouble by two vampires. They were going to kill you, but I saved you. The first time we met was at the airport. You were mad that I cut you in line with Liam. You realized who I was in the alley and so did I because of your nagging. Don't you remember?”

I noticed that her eyes twitched and she sucked in a breath. Please remember, I thought. Please, Baby, remember us, our love.

“I thought you were so beautiful,” I told her. “I was annoyed that you were a brat, but I wasn't able to stay away from you. I still can't stay away from you. Come on, Baby, remember us. I know you. You're strong and I know that you can fight this. You've been through so much and this shouldn't be a challenge after everything that happened.”
