Secrets Untold

Chapter 4: Trouble Times Two

Once again, I felt myself falling into that world of darkness. The last thing I heard? The door creaking open. The last thing I saw? A blurry figure walking towards me, fangs clearly displayed. I didn't recognize this guy, it sure wasn't Zayn. But one thing I could tell for sure, he looked hungry.

________________

Zayn's POV

"I brought dinner!"

I swung the front door open of our hideout in the woods. No one has ever found it, and frankly, no one ever will. Especially considering it's underground and the door is in a tree. Silly humans, always hiding things in plain sight. That's what gets them killed.

My two friends ran into the room, more to see what was for dinner than to greet me.

"Zayn. You know we aren't supposed to take humans. Remember what happened when you took Perrie? There's still buzz going around about it!"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Not like they're worth much." I sassed back.

"Look Liam. We are all so hungry it's ridiculous. Deer and stuff can only hold us off for so long, you know that. And plus. I've got Perrie, Louis has Eleanor, and who do you have? Oh yeah! No one."

I could see the hurt in Liam's eyes. Okay maybe I went a bit too far....

I walked over to Liam "Look mate, I'm sorry," I apologized. "It's just, I was trying to do something nice for you, and all you could do was tell me that it was wrong, and you acted disappointed. It, well it hurt my feelings. You're always doing things for me and Lou, but we don't get to do things for you very often. I was just trying to do you a favor."

I hung my head low and turned to walk away and take the girl downstairs, where we hold the humans until we decide what to do with them.

"Wait..."

I snapped my head back around to face Liam.

"Thanks and, I'm sorry. I get you were just trying to help me. So here, I'll take her."

A smirk appeared on my face.

" 'At a boy. Now, do as you please."

I handed the limp body over to Liam, who gratefully accepted and walked to his room.

I never wanted him all mixed up in this, but now it's too late. This was my mission, and it was my responsibility to get it taken care of.

But once Liam started asking all those questions, I had to think fast, and whatever I came up with had to be believeable. So, I went with the first thing I came up with.

Honestly, I felt kinda bad for the girl, too. But hey, it's not my fault that she has the right blood.

I had to keep telling myself that.

It isn't my fault that her blood gave her the potential to be the most powerful vampire in all of creation.

I had to deliver her to them. They had my word, and I never break my word. And if I did, they would break me.

Lyla's POV

"Wh...what happened? Where am I?"

My vision began to clear up as I looked around the room.

I began to remember.

I was in my bed, window open, Zayn, waking up here, shackles, bite, vampire walking in, blacking out....

Hold up....

VAMPIRE WALKING IN?!

I looked around frantically, searching for anyone, or anything, else that was in here with me.

When I was pretty sure I was alone, I let a sigh of relief escape from my lips.

Big Mistake.

"Looking for me?"

A figure appeared from a dark corner.

How did I not see him before?

"Look. You're mine now, and there's nothing you can do about it. You will do as I say, when I say. Understand?"

This can't be real. Nope, there's no way! Vampires aren't real! I'm still at home, laying in my bed, and this has all just been a weird dre...

"Ow!"

"Is that proof enough for you?"

"What do you mea....did I say all that out loud?"

"Um yeah you kinda did." He sassed back.

Oops...

That's when everything hit me. I've been kidnapped...by vampires.

I felt tears begin to roll down my cheeks. Heck, wouldn't you cry if you were in my position?

"Oh no...please don't cry. I'm sorry, I was too harsh. Just please don't cry."

Huh?

I looked over to the vampire who was now kneeling next to me.

I felt his hand on my back, causing me to flinch at his touch.

"Oh, sorry." He pulled his hand away and sat down cross-legged next to me. "Hi, I'm Liam." He said with a smile.

Well, I mean he seemed friendly...

"I...I'm Lyla."

"That's a beautiful name. A pretty name for a pretty girl."

Okay, that made me blush. He noticed and smirked a little.

"Here, let me help you up."

I didn't even see him move. Vampire speed, I guess?

He reached his hand out to me and I took it, placing my other hand on the ground.

"Ow, crap."

I let go of his hand and sat back down, examining the bleeding cut on my hand. I had sliced it open on a piece of glass on the floor.

"You wouldn't happen to have a bandage..."

When I looked up, what I saw sent a shiver down my spine. His gentle, caring brown eyes were now much darker and full of hunger. He was staring right at my hand. A few inches below his eyes, his fangs were growing longer and more prominent by the second.

I was still in shackles. There was no escape. I knew what came next. I squeezed my eyes shut, as I couldn't bear to watch. Out of all the possibilities, I had never imagined that this was how I would die.
