That Red Dress... [One Direction ~ Liam Payne Fanfic]

Shifting and meeting ~4~

I walked out of Harry's room, Louis was standing at his door.

"Oh, hey. What were you doing in Harry's room?" Lou asked, suspiciously.

"Well, it wasn't what you may think it was." I said innocently.

"Okay?" he said, suspicion still evident, "I'll believe you for now."

I laughed, he must think that I had sex with Harry. It was far from that.

"I would tell you, but you won't believe me if I don't show you" I said, chuckling to myself, "just promise not to wet yourself."

"Okay?" he said confused, "I'm guessing it has to be in private?"

"Yup." I said popping the 'p'. I followed him into his room silently, alsou using my unnatural speed. I closed the door, then locked it, and turned to face him.

"You and Harry can't tell anybody, 'kay?" I said in a serious tone, all joking gone from my voice, "people hunt what I am and they don't hesitate to kill."

He nodded, accepting the responsibilities and what I made him promise. Right then I shifted, feeling my bones snap and break for the second time today. I felt free again, the fur on my body soothing me. Louis gasped, shocked by what he was seeing, I take. I would be too, if I was in his shoes and knew nothing of what lived among my species.

"You're not going to eat me are you?" he asked, looking like he was about to shit a brick. I shook my head from side to side. Why would I harm them? Only if they attack me, would I then attack them. No, not even then. I'll protect them, even if it costs me my life. I never kill, harm or do anything to hurt my friends.

"Is Hayley a shifter also?" he asked more comfortable than before. I shook my head again.

"Does she know?"

I nodded, my white fur going all over the place. Why wouldn't she know? We've been friends for about two years now, she was bound to see me prance around like this.

"Can I touch your fur? It looks really soft." Louis asked, a hopeful smile spreading across his features. I bowed my head and felt a warm hand petting my "hair".

"Lou, who are you talking to?" Liam asked from the other side of the door. My eyes widened, pupils dilated as I'm sure Louis' did as well. I looked up at Louis, pleading him with my eyes not to tell Liam.

"Um, no-one. Mainly myself, you know what I'm like, mate." Louis chuckled nervously, sparing me a fleeting glance but carried on patting my head, as if trying to calm me.

"Okay, mate. Can I come in?" Liam asked Louis.

"Um, I'm kind of busy right now, maybe later?" Louis said, still a nervous wreck, more so now than before.

"Okay, well, I'm making breakfast soon, can you tell the rest who aren't awake yet?"

"Yup." Louis said, popping the 'p'.

~Louis' Pov~

Damn it! Rayne is still in her wolf form, Liam's trying to come in and Harry also knows about Rayne's secret, as does Hayley. If I'm supposed to be torn between telling or not, I'm most definitely not. I'll keep her secret and not tell unless she wants me too. She suits it as well, I saw her lift Harry this morning, bridal style, without struggle. It's amazing, she must have heightened senses. Suddenly, my pocket started to vibrate, my phone. It was Eleanor.

"Hey, love, how are you?" I said, a wide smile bubbling to the surface.

"Great, I'm just checking up, do you mind if Danielle, Perrie and I come over?" Eleanor asked, I could just see the face sh would be pulling right now.
