Know What You're Falling For

Chapter Three – He’s an Old Friend (Harry’s P.O.V.)

I’m so happy to have found a fellow ex-vampire. I moved out here in hopes to escape the clan. I had no idea that others had done the same. It’s pretty exciting, though, meeting another vampire. Who knows, it could be the start of a beautiful relationship.

 I notice that Niall is looking very confused and after a few minutes of what appears to be utter shock, he says, “What is going on?” I feel bad for him. Not only did he just find out that his best mate is vampire, but now he knows that his new neighbor is too.

I snap my fingers and shout, “I just realized something!”

“What?” Louis asks me.

“I just thought of someone who can help us,” I say, gesturing to Louis and myself, “And can explain the whole thing to you Niall.” I dash into my kitchen and grab my phone off the counter. When I get back, I see that Niall has his arms wrapped tightly around Louis waist and is sobbing violently into his shoulder. I grab Louis and Niall’s coats and hand them to Louis awkwardly. He takes them and whispers something into Niall’s ear which causes Niall to nod and slowly pull on his coat.

“I’m ready,” he says.

“Me, too,” Louis says almost immediately afterward. I put on my coat and grab my keys. Then, we leave my apartment and get into my car. As soon as we hit the highway I hear soft snores. I figure that Niall is asleep and, sure enough, when we get to the old library Niall is asleep in Louis’ lap. He shakes him awake and we go into the building.

I go up to the service desk and tell the lady, “I’m here to see Liam.”

“Name?” she asks me.

“Harry Styles,” I reply and she presses a button under the table. Two of the dusty old bookcases on the far side of the room move apart with a loud grinding noise. I usher Niall and Louis through the passage. After we’re about ten feet down the passage the bookcases close with the same grinding sound.

Niall starts to run back but I hold him by the hood of his coat, “It’ll open back up later.” I continue to push them through the dark, dank pathway.

“Who is this Liam we are going to see?” Niall asks me timidly.

“He’s an old friend,” I tell him as we continue to run down the narrow walkway. I soon see a little sliver of light and I go up to it. Niall and Louis look confused as I push in three bricks. A pathway is revealed and we all walk down it. We wind up in a modern library where a man with brown hair is pouring over books.

“That,” I whisper to Louis and Niall wile gesturing to the man, “Is Liam. He helped me before. I’m sure he could do it again.” I notice a girl with a blond pixie cut with blue streaks in it walk up to Liam and slam down a huge stack of books on his desk.

“Who is she?” Niall asks me.

“To be honest, I don’t even know,” I whisper to him.

Liam looks up and a small smile passes across his face, “Hello Harry.”

“Liam,” I nod, “Nice to see you again. I see you updated your library,” I note while looking around.

“Well, the 19th century isn’t meant for the 21st century now is it?” He laughs and I join in.

“Liam, I got you the books and some coffee,” the girl says as she puts a cup of coffee down on Liam’s desk.

“Thanks baby,” Liam says to the girl and kisses her. I clear my throat and Liam says, “Oh yes. Harry this is my latest find, Lore. Lore, this is my old friend Harry.” I shake her hand and ask Liam,

“What do you mean ‘latest find’?” He fumbles around and grabs a book, “See this?” He asks me, pointing at a page with the aurora borealis on it. I nod and he continues, “Well, I discovered that the light of it is home to race of extraordinary creatures. Lore here is a part of that. She’s an angel.” I let my mouth fall open in shock.

Louis clears his throat and I shout, “Oh! Liam, this is Louis and Niall. Louis is an ex-vampire and Niall is human.”

Liam waves at them and asks me, “So what do you need?”

I sigh and tell him, “We need you to explain this whole deal to Niall and give us some information on the vampire Zayn Malik.”

“Wait, Zayn’s back?” He asks worriedly. 

“What do you mean back?” I ask him.

“Let me explain everything to Niall and then I’ll tell you guys,” Liam says and proceeds to explain everything to Niall. “Now that that is out of the way, Zayn is a very dangerous vampire. It’s not that he’s evil, he just drinks human blood and is sort of grumpy,” He says and Louis giggles at the last part. “This is no laughing matter. Do you know where Zayn is staying?”

Louis raises his hand and says, “My place. Niall and mine’s place.”

“This is worse than I thought. Are you aware that the clan is going to find you? Are you aware that Niall could get hurt?” Liam demands.“

Yes,” Louis says, “I am.”

Niall looks outraged, “Wait you knew that something could happen to me and you let him stay? Why would you do that? I thought you cared about me! I thought you loved Harry!” Wait Louis loves me?

“How did you know that, Niall?! HOW?!” Louis screams at Niall.

“You think I don’t recognize that look in your eyes when you see him?! You had that same look when you met Terrrrrrence! (A/N-My sister gave me the idea!) Well, if he means so much to you and I mean so little to you, how do you like this!?” And with that Niall slams his lips onto mine. I don’t know what to do, so I stand still as Niall’s lips move against mine.

I push him away, “What was that? Why did you do that?!” Louis storms over to Niall and punches him in the stomach. Niall doubles in pain, quickly recovers, and throws a book at Louis.

Louis is about to kick Niall but I jump in front of them, “Stop! We need to figure out how to protect Niall from the clan, not fight over Niall kissing me! Please, just stop!” I break down and start crying.

Louis comes over and lays me on Liam’s sofa, my head in his lap and shushes me, “Hazza it’s alright. Calm down, don’t cry. We’ll stop.”

I sniffle, “Sorry. I’m an emotional guy.”

“It’s okay. I used to be so I had to harden my heart. I think it’s time I feel again,” he smiles at me.

“Now,” Liam says, clapping his hands together, “What do we do about Zayn?”

Niall raises his hand, “Why don’t you just make him a vegan like you guys?”

“It’s not that simple,” Liam says, “If we were to force him into being a vegan, the clan would come after us and we would all be killed. No, this requires stealth and strategy.” I think of something and clearly Louis and Liam think of the same thing. We all look at Niall.

A/N- So I'm starting to run out of ideas for the story. If you have one please comment! *Amour Clem* 0_-
