Facing The Demon

Melannie's POV

Everyone left when Lourde didn't wake up, false alarm. Yes she groaned and tried to wake up but she is still unconscious. Stiles sat alone in a corner and closed his eyes. I stared at Ashton thinking how adorable he is when he's sympathetic. I examined his every feature, his eyes, his soft looking hair, the tight outfit he was wearing. He looked up at me causing me to get chills and feels. He smiled and checked Lourde's pulse. "She's okay." I smiled back and nodded. He looked straight into my eyes, that's when I almost melted. "So, what's your name?" He asked cutely drawing his attention back to Lourde. "M-Melannie, what about you?" I laughed. He chuckled and looked up back at me. "Ashton, but you can call me 'hottie'." I blushed and bravely answered, "Who says I already don't?" He lifted an eyebrow then smirked. I started humming one of his solos. "Damn, you're good at humming." I nodded, "And you... You're great at flirting." I made him laugh hard this time. "If you think I'm a good flirt, you should try kissing me, I'm way better at that." He winked. I smiled and felt my face get so red, but I was feeling really confident tonight so I managed to say, "Oh, I'd love to." He seemed surprised though he leaned in closer and I did the same. There was an inch left between our lips. "What the hell! You be kissing over me!" Lourde had to wake up now! She had to! Ugh. I rolled my eyes and sat back down Ashton turned his head to the other side feeling embarrassed. She laughed and sat up, "Wouldn't want your saliva getting all over me." She winked. "Lourde, eww!" I shrieked. Ashton just laughed. "Aye where are the others? Oh Stiles!" She asked and jumped up running to hug Stiles. "I don't know, they were all here a second ago." I said confused. "I fell asleep," Stiles chuckled with Lourde in his arms. "Come on, lets go find them." She took hold of his hand and started walking towards the door. The second they were out I felt Ashton's hands cupping my face and kissing me. His sweet lips felt amazing at that time. I closed my eyes, kissed back, and enjoyed it.

Lourde's POV

Stiles and I came to a stop when we saw a plain red door with a gold doorknob. I twisted it and it opened to see Harry Styles hiding. "Aww Harry! It's okay you can come out now." I smiled. "Who are you?" His voice shook. "Lourde, and I love you." He got up, smiled and walked over to me. "So, I heard you loved me?" I laughed and nodded. I opened my arms to hug him when Stiles wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me back from Harry's hug. I felt his breath on my neck going up to my ear. "I get to boss you around still tonight, remember?" I inhaled and turned around, "What do you want now?" I asked disappointed. "For you to come with me." He replied and I nodded. "Come on Harry." I spoke up and noticed that Stiles rolled his eyes when Harry followed. Oh lord, he is jealous! Yes! I love it when guys are jealous, I thought. We walked a couple of steps around the backstage to find where the others were. I stopped when the corner of my eye spotted the back of a blonde girl wearing a white tank-top and black sweatpants. I walked over to her and put my hand on her shoulder. She turned around and deviously smiled surprising me. The devil was here, Amber. "Well hello, Lourde." I felt chills go up and down my back disgusted to hear her voice. "Oh hello, bitch." I smiled back even more devilishly. I glanced over her shoulder to see Louis and Natalia so close. Well that's one good, I have to admit though, I'm a little jealous. "Haha, you are so funny! I see you killed them all. What a champ. But... Are you really a champ? Let's see. If you really are one, try and kill me, bitch." She hissed. "First, the word is champion, second, I'm not one. Although, I will kill you. I mean it that's what you want, no problem, little whore." I replied red eyed full with confidence. "Hmm, brilliant answer," she paused and looked at the ground for a second, "though, you, yourself are not so brilliant. Burning me? Is that all you got? Well guess what sweetie, I live in fire, it's my home. No harm, it just makes me stronger." I laughed, "Oh I will win." She took a couple steps closer when her eyes turned fully black and her nails turned into black sharp claws. I flashed my eyes to red, but it wasn't my powers red, it was more light red like a Demon Alpha's kind. I knew Amber noticed because she seemed surprised a little. Thank god nobody else noticed. She swung her fist towards my cheek and hit it. She swung her other fist but I knew she was going to do that so I caught her wrist. My hand was tightly gripped on her fisted hand. I felt my nails digging into her pale skin. Her face got red and she kicked me causing me to let go of her. Natalia came and helped me out. I noticed that her powers kicked in because she was stronger than usual. She raised her elbow above Amber's head then dropped it down hard. I watched Amber collapse on the ground. I kneeled down when I saw something shiny. I picked it up, it was a switchblade. I looked around and saw Stiles smirk at me, then I knew he had slid it across the ground. I held it close to Amber's neck and softly said, "So what would you like to say for your last words?" She yawned and gave me a devilish grin. Suddenly her hand swung across and hit my face. The switchblade dropped onto the ground next to Stiles's feet. I looked up and saw him pick it up. She stood up and was about to stomp on me but I stopped her. I got up too and stood straight facing her. We were both trying to catch a breath. Silence took over and the only thing you could hear then was the sound of our heavy breathing. Suddenly a pair of heals started clicking on the ground. It stopped and a girl's voice said, "What's going on here?" I turned around to see Melannie and Ashton together. "She is the one that almost killed you." I looked back at Amber to see an expression that was unusual for Amber to have on. She was scared. She was looking at Melannie and I could feel her fear. It was so strong, towards what though? I glanced at Melannie that was so shocked and felt a sudden breeze from behind my head. I turned back around to see that Amber is gone. She has escaped. What was that all about?
