The Demon's Angel (N.H) (Editing)

Chapter 19

Niall's P.O.V

I watch Abigail as her eyes widen and she looks out over the roof. I have a blanket surrounded by jar candles and pillows. Taking her hand I gently tug her over to sit on the blanket and I grab the picnic basket I brought up here.

"Well do you like it?"

I ask biting my lip as I scan her face trying to see if she likes it.

"It's beautiful I love it so much this is amazing did you do this all by yourself?"

"Well I had a little help carrying the stuff up but yeah most of it I did I hope you like sandwiches and fruit."

"Sounds good to me."

She giggles and I can't help but smile at the sound as I hand her a sandwich and drink. We sit in a comfortable silence as we eat and she turns to me.

"It's so pretty and quite up here the view is amazing how did you know about this place?"

"Well when I was a kid I lived not that far from here and whenever I needed to get away from everything I would walk around. One night things got to be too much at school and so I walked around till two in the morning before I stumbled across this place. I climbed the steps and watched the sun rise over the city it's breath taking really."

"It sounds breath taking do you um think we could stay that long even if it's till dawn I just really want to see it."

"If you want to of course we can."

She smiles finishing her sandwich before taking a sip of her drink looking at me again.

"Can I ask you something Abigial?"

"Sure."

"I don't normally do this type of thing but I really want to ask this."

"What is it?"

"Be mine? I don't know what it is and I've never felt this way before I've never really felt anything in a long time but I want you to be mine and only mine."

I say watching her face as she searches my gaze before smiling.

"Of course I will."

I smile relaxing and she hesitantly laces our fingers together smiling.

"Now that you've asked something can I?"

"Go right ahead."

"Why are you called a demon?"

"There's a long story behind that."

"Well we have time I want to know and I'm not leaving till I do."

I let out a sigh before laying back looking up at the stars thinking I feel her lay next to me and watching me.

"When I was fourteen my parents were killed by a gang they broke into our house I guess my dad had turned in one of their prize members and they wanted revenge. I was woken up by a loud scream from my mum I quietly walked to my door and cracked it open. I saw both of my parents murdered right in front of me the people didn't even bother searching the house. Once they left I called for help but it was to late I dropped out of school bitter and angry. The day of my parents funeral I promised myself I would find their murders and kill them just like they did my parents. That's how I met Louis he was kidnapped from his family after they were killed and he had excaped after being help captive for six months. We became best friends he was the only person I trusted when I was seventeen I finally got justice for my parents but it didn't stop there. I continued wiping out gangs who raped, beat, killed whatever it was and I got rid of them. The police don't know who it is and in all honesty I don't think they even care it's less for them to worry about. People started calling me the demon because they know what I do but they don't bother turning me in out of fear and respect. And that's why I'm called the demon it's a name I live up to."

I finish looking over at her and she has a thoughtful face on.

"Okay I'm sorry about your parents by the way."

"S'okay so you aren't going to run away in fear?"

"No what happened to you was terrible but that doesn't mean I'll leave you besides you kinda know where I live and how to get inside which is scary."

"Extra key babe I got it from your landlord a couple weeks ago so you have nothing to worry about. But please do not go telling everyone we're together because the gangs can use that as ammunition against me by taking you. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to you ever so let's keep it to us Melina and Louis."

"Alright I understand."

She scoots closer to me as the wind lightly picks up I grab a blanket from inside the basket and I drap it across us. I press a light kiss to her head as we gaze at the stars before I hear her breathing even out and I notice she's fallen asleep.

"I promise to do everything in my power to keep you safe..my angel.."
