Harry’s POV

I checked my watch for the 8th time.

Ariana should be home by now.

It’s been 4 hours.

Whenever she’s gone for too long, I always worry that she’s in trouble.

Flashback……………

Where is she?

Ariana and I were supposed to meet back up at the flat after hunting. She’s only been a vampire for a couple of years; she could get into trouble.

Before I could worry any further, I heard the front door clatter open.

“Harry!” I heard her voice sob.

“Ari?” I yelled panicked as I rushed to the front door.

Ariana was lying on the ground, her knees tucked to her chest, and blood smeared everywhere.

“What’s going on?” I asked. “Are you hurt?”

I kneeled beside her and pulled her head into my lap.

She shook her head and mumbled something.

“What was that?” I asked curiously.

“I didn’t mean to,” she said.

“Didn’t mean to what?” I asked confused.

“I…….man……kill!” she sobbed brokenly.

“You accidently fed too much?” I asked gently.

She sat up suddenly and wiped some tears away.

“No! I fed the amount I normally do before letting them go!” she protested. “This man fainted after just a few seconds of losing blood, and when I stopped, his neck wouldn’t heal.”

“So, he was anemic?” I asked.

“I think so,” she sighed. “I left him at the doors of the hospital but I don’t think he made it.”

“Shh,” I whispered while tucking her head into my neck. “It’s okay.”

I picked Ariana up bridal style before carrying her to our room. I peeled off her blood covered clothes before sending her in to shower. After she was done I helped her into pajamas before picking her up again and setting us both on the bed. I stripped down to my boxers before flicking off the light and snuggling next to Ariana. She scooted back into me until we were spooning and I could wrap my arms tightly around her and bury my face into her wet hair.

“I’m a monster,” she whispered.

“No you’re not,” I soothed. “It’s not your fault.”

I got no response from her before I heard her breath even out and soft snores fill the room.

I sighed sadly.

I’m the one who made her a monster.

End of Flashback………..

Like déjà vu, I heard the front door slam open, snapping me out of my reverie.

“Harry!” I heard her call cheerfully.

Wait…….she’s happy?

“Ariana?” I asked while entering the living room in time to catch her taking off her coat.

“I’m sorry I’m so late,” she apologized. “Louis had a bit of an accident with a knife and I had to bandage him up.”

“It’s alright,” I said happily. “Were you okay with it? The blood, I mean.”

“Yeah,” she shrugged. “It was no big deal.”

Ariana was by my side in a blur, throwing herself into my arms.

“But, I missed you like crazy,” she whispered, her warm breath tickling my ear.

My breath caught in my throat.

“I m-missed you too,” I stuttered.

Ariana grinned and pecked my lips before pulling me by the hand to our room, slamming the door behind us.

This girl will be the death of me.
