The Demons N.H.

preparation

~beatrice's  P.O.V.~

tomorrow,

june 10th,

I turn 17,

I become targeted.

The ceremony is on the 20th,

for I have 10 days to prepare.

But what could prepare me for this?

I- I doubt, I hope I won't be in the top 5.

I barely even leave the house, for I am terrified to run into one of them.

I don't want to be in the presence of a vampire.

cause one wrong move,

and I could be eaten alive.

last time I left to get groceries for my mother and ran right into one.

it was a demon, demon are what the neutral call the leaders, kings, and the emperor.

there are only 5 of them.

Louis Tomlinson; third leader

Liam Payne;  secondary leader

Zayn Malik; top leader

Harry Styles; emperor or second in charge.

Niall Horan;  the King of it all.

I didn't even know what happened until I looked into the heartless eyes of niall horan.

*flashback*

it was mid-winter

I had to go and groceries for my mother, for she was sick.

this is only the 6th time I have ever been more than 10 feet away from my house in my 16 years of life.

I walked slowly toward the small corner store, all I needed were tea and cough syrup.

snowflakes fell covering my red hoodie with white dust.

I looked down, watching my black boots kick through the snow that had already fallen.

when it happened.

I ran into him, he was wearing all black.

demon dress code.

I didn't dare to look up, for I was terrified once I saw the red ring of honor, of king Horan on his left ring finger.

"maybe you should keep your head up, I wouldn't want to hurt that beautiful face of yours, Beatrice"

I had no words, he knew my name and he didn't have to look at my face to know it.

this means he has been watching me.

" I-I am terribly sorry K-king Horan" I stumbled over my words quickly.

"why won't you look up at me, in the eye, and say it then?"  his irish accent rang through my ears.

he wanted me to look him in the eye.

just the thought made me tremble.

I look up into his cold, yet breathtaking eyes.

"I am sorry for bumping into y-you, King Horan."  

he smiled with a small nod of satisfaction and continued to his destination.

*end of flashback*

the 10 days of preparation were mostly filled with spending time with my mother.

although I highly doubt that I will be in top 5,

its not worth the risk.

the last day, I didn't even want to speak to her, look at her.

I just wanted to stay hidden from the world.

our home had been so depressing for the past week and three days.

just the possibility of being in top 5 lingered in my head making everything I see or do, depressing.

its the worst feeling in the world to be quite honest.

little did I know that's just what the demons wanted.

the demons are always watching.
