Stranger Things Happen

Chapter Nine

Madeline's POV

"I killed my first love and if I did that to YOU I wouldn't be able to live with myself."

"I'm so sorry that I pressured you in to telling me. I should have just let you tell me when you were ready. Can you forgive me?" Why did I do that? I mean he's really special to me and I forced him into something he probably didn't want to do.

"I WAS ready to tell you, I had to tell you. And you did nothing to be sorry for. I'd never hurt you." I gave him a shy smile.

I walked over to where he was sitting, sat down next to him and gave him a hug.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

It was now 5:03 in the afternoon, 2 hours since our little chat.

We had relocated to Liam's bedroom, which is one of the cleanest bedrooms I've ever seen. We had been laying on his bed, with his arm around my neck, in silence for most of the 2 hours. The amount of time that we actually talked, wasn't much. The silence was beautiful, peaceful and tranquil. I loved the tranquility that was Liam, he made everything so amazingly simple.

Gosh, I wanted him. I needed him. The force between us was too strong, I couldn't stop myself. I slowly leaned my body up and dragged my left leg over and put it on the other side of his body.

Now straddling him, I began passionately kissing him. I moved down to his neck, leaving a trail of wet kisses down to his collar bone and then to his shoulder.

He moaned in agreement.

Liam's POV

She was kissing my shoulder when I let out a moan I couldn't hold in anymore. Before I knew it I could feel my fangs descending and my eyes going red.

I could feel the hunger taking over. The hungry, sadistic and cruel side of me that I have tried to force down to the deepest parts of me for such a long time. All of my hard work to keep this side of me buried was about to be lost. I couldn't contain myself, I couldn't keep it buried, and I couldn't believe I was about to do this. I had always survived on animal blood. If I even went near human blood I would lose this side to me for who knows how long.

But I couldn't control myself.

I snapped my hands on Maddy's shoulders. I could feel my nails pierce her skin and I could see her blood seep out from underneath my fingers as it trickled down her arm.

It felt like my insides were going to explode. My head pounded as my heart struggled to pump blood around my undead body. The distant sound of her pained yelps vibrated through my ears, but soon faded as the pounding of my head was to loud to hear anything else. All I could concentrate on was her blood, the rising of her pulse along her neck, her vulnerability and how weak she looked, so easy for me to kill.

It was to strong, my past was slamming me in the face, all rushing back yet again. It was taking over me, I was a prisoner inside my own body.

I undug my nails out of her shoulders only to push her back onto the bed. I pushed so hard on her shoulders that I fractured them. She screamed in agony. All I could do was watch. This whole other side to me had taken complete control. I hated myself for what I was doing and I hated that I couldn't do anything about it.

I looked her in the eyes and for a split second it was ME looking at her and she noticed. Unfortunately it didn't last long and my other side took back control.

"No Liam. You don't have to do this." Her voice was shaky and her eyes became glassy as tears began to flow down her face.

I snarled at her, baring my fangs. Glaring at her as she began to cry, sobbing while occasionally saying 'no'. I smiled as I began to slowly open my mouth, setting my fangs free. My eyes burned red as I sunk my teeth into her succulent and juicy neck.

"Aaaahhhhhhhrrrrrrrr!!!!" She screamed so loud I thought I'd go deaf.

She was kicking and screaming, struggling as she tried to make me stop. I wish I could. Her struggles died down as she did.

The door swung open, coming off its hinges, shattering to pieces on the ground. I looked up as I was tackled to the floor. There was a 'woosh' and Niall showed up at the door. He slowly walked over to me as I was snapping my fangs in his direction. Zayn was holding me down as Niall incapacitated me, rendering me unable to move. Niall's mind is a powerful thing and when he puts it to the test, he can do scary and unimaginable things.

Zayn picked me up and put me over his shoulder.

"Take him down to the basement. I'll be there in a minute." Niall ordered.

The whole while Zayn was carrying me down to the basement all I could think about was one thing:

It's true. I'm a Ripper..........................again.

Alex's POV

I rushed out of my room to see Liam being carried down the stairs. I ran over to Liam's room and found Niall at the door with his head down.

"Niall?" I asked unsure of what was going on.

He spun around. I began to walk through the door when he grabbed me and began to take me away. I looked around his arm and saw her.

"Noooo!" I was howling. Tears rushed down my face. "Madeline!" I tried to shove past Niall but his grasp tightened. "Let me go Niall. Let me go, let me go, let me go!" I screamed as I was punching him in the chest. But I just fell into him and sobbed. I looked up at him and his eyes filled with sadness and sympathy. I began to think quickly, what do I know about vampires?

"You have to heal her." I began, but Niall just shook his head.

"I can't. I'm sorry."

"You have to. You just have to." I said as I wiped away my tears.

"It's too late. The only thing I can do is turn her."

"No." I pushed past him and ran to her side. I collapsed at the sight of her. There was blood all over the white sheets that were now all tossed and jumbled around her. I put my head in my arms and began to cry again. She couldn't be gone. All the time and memories we had couldn't have just ended so quickly.

I remember one time when we were sitting in a tree when my footing slipped and I fell and broke my arm. She got straight out of the tree, helped me up and drove me to the hospital. She was so calm and supportive. We got to the hospital and she wouldn't leave my side. One of the nurses had to drag her out of the operating room while she was kicking and screaming. When I woke up in the recovery room she was sleeping in the chair next to the bed and my mum was walking into the room with food from the cafeteria.

"You can't do this to me Maddy. I won't make it that easy." I held her hand in both of mine. "Please, don't go."

There was a sudden gasp and an inhale of air. I looked up and saw she was awake. I jumped up and caught her before she fell. Niall rushed through the door and bit his wrist.

"What are you doing?"

"You asked me to heal her. She needs to drink my blood." He let her head rest in his hand as he put his other wrist to her mouth. She began drinking and soon was clasping his arm as she drank heavily from his wrist. He took away his arm and gently picked her up. He took her from the room and I quickly followed.
