Chapter 4

Luke's P.O.V before the "incident"

"Luke mate, just sit down and hear us out" Calum pleaded, making me even more anxious to leave.

"NO" I yelled whilst pacing furiously "she's my best friend I can't hurt her, no!"

"Luke, for God's sake just listen, you don't understand" Ashton spoke with an irritated tone.

I don't want to kidnap my best friend, she's done nothing wrong! What would they even do to her, I shudder at the thought, NO. They are not touching Ally. The contemplation was rushing around my small mind so much that I didn't realise what was going on around me, and I only snapped back to reality when I felt Michael's glare focused on me from 2 metres away. Something was ... Different? Were his eyes black? Wait no, I must be seeing things. Before I had another chance to look I found my self being thrown 3 metres into the wall behind and dropping to the floor like a rag doll. Ouch. Why the fuck would you do that?! How the guck did he do that?! He didn't even touch me.The pain began to rush through my body as I started to stand up, even though I was seriously contemplating just laying in a pile on the floor. As I stood up I felt a shooting pain in the back of my head and the touch of my hand revealed a small amount of blood coming from it. This is when I noticed Ashton, his eyes where now glowing red. Was I dreaming? Had they given me hallucigenics?

"Ash .... No" Michael said slowly, fear now plastered across his face.

Ashton was staring at me with those red gleaming eyes, a smirk plastered across his face.

"I'm hungry" Ashton spoke with an evil smirk plastered across his face staring straight at me.

"Ash mate, we will find you something in the woods, we need him he's not worth it! He's skin and bone, his blood probably tastes horrible, you don't need him" Calum practically begged Ashton, attempting to drag him out of the room by his arm.

Blood? What?! Why would he want my blood that's disgusting! I started crying. There it is, geeky Luke, he's back. Ashton's eyes had now gone back to normal and he seemed to had calmed down a bit more after a stern private talking to by Michael.

"Luke err don't cry, erm shit, I'm sorry mate it's just erm fuck just don't cry okay I can't deal with people crying" Ashton spoke awkwardly at me.

"Just stop crying so we can explain something to you, okay?" Michael said in a much harsher tone

"Okay" I croaked quoted than anticipated.

"I'll start" Ashton chirped up "You saw my eyes turn red, yeah? Well erm, a few years ago I was walking through the woods, a dare from my friends to go into this creepy woods and I got attacked, it was horrific, I thought I was going to die. They just kept laughing and hurting me and I couldn't see anything because it was pitch black. I felt enclosed, embarrassed, exposed. All I could remember was waking up a few days later in a hospital room with bloody bandages wrapped around my arms and legs.No nurses or doctors were around and me being me, decided to take a sneak peak under one of my bandages to see the epic scars I was gonna have, but there was nothing, just unbroken pale skin. This obviously worried me a lot and I was discharged a few days later, the doctors didn't bother looking under the bandages, just sent me home and told me to take them off in 5 days. Then, one day my sister got a paper cut whilst reading a book in the living room while I was sat on the opposite sofa and that's when "it" happened" he gulped with tears rolling down his face "I started sweating uncontrollably and my heart began racing at the sign of blood, this feeling was weird, strange. I ran uncontrollably fast to the bathroom and saw something in the mirror, it wasn't me, it was a monster. My eyes where red, my skin was pale and my teeth had grown into sharp fangs. I locked my self in my room for a week after this and cried uncontrollably. I could never tell my parents because they would have stabbed me with a steak in the heart, my parents tend to take the side of the supernatural anti-monster type.This wasn't the only incident though, I also had encounters with super strength and speed which took a lot getting used to, my senses also increased, man I could smell food from a mile away! I also found other simple things like mind control, healing and mind reading. So basically I'm a vampire." Ashton finished with an eery sound echoing him followed by an awkward silence.

The other boys had solemn facial expressions, making it clear to me that Ashton didn't choose this life, he didn't want it. I was now even more scared than I was before, of he's a God damn vampire he can kill me on the spot, shit shit shit

"S-so w-what does this have to d-do with m-me?" I spoke up breaking the awkward silence.

"You don't know what you are .... do you Luke ...."
