Stranger Things Happen

Chapter Thirteen

Alex's POV
"You're telling me Niall is your father?"

"Yeah, but you can't tell him."

"He doesn't know?!" So Louis is living in a house with his vampire dad who doesn't know he's Louis's dad. Well then...

"No. I haven't been able to tell him yet. You see my mum's death wasn't just any accident. Niall was banished for getting a mortal pregnant. Especially my mother. He was outraged and we all know Niall has anger issues. My mother fled because she was afraid of what Niall might do to her or to me. She took me and we ran for 5 years before Niall caught up to us."
He had gotten up off the bed by now and took a small plastic canister out of his pocket. He fiddled with it as he agitatedly continued talking,
"he walked into the room we were staying in and blocked Angelina, my mother, and I from escaping. He had said, 'usually I would kill you from the inside, but I might just take pleasure in ripping your throat out'. Niall stalked over to Angelina, his eyes hinted with excitement. His hand gripped over her throat and she splattered at the sudden restraint of air. I pleaded with him not to hurt her, but he just smiled at me and said 'oh, would you like to die in her place?' All I could think about was how unfair this was. My mother was screaming for me to run. She was desperately trying to use her powers on him but, they didn't seem to affect him. I couldn't move. I was frozen with fear. I couldn't believe what I was about to witness, the terror that would haunt me for centuries. Niall's finger nails began to eat into the skin of her throat. Blood trickled down her neck as her screams filled the room. As she took one last look at me, the small smile that she gave me, made tears flow endlessly down my face."

I could see the memories flash over his pained eyes as he told me about his unforgettable past.

"She spoke her last words to me, 'I love y---' and then suddenly she was laying emotionless on the ground with a portion of her throat missing.

"I ran to her screaming for her to wake up. But she didn't move a muscle. Niall spoke 'see ya 'round kid' before he left, a smirk smooth across his face. I hadn't noticed my mother's blood splattered over my face."

Oh my god. Niall had slaughtered Louis's mother, right in front of him.

Louis had anger clearly plastered on his face. As if he was remembering the horrific scene over and over again, he winced back and threw the small canister, he had been fiddling with, across the room. His scream echoing through the walls.

I jumped back at the sudden outburst and he instantly regretted it.

"I'm sorry. It's just so---"

"I get it. You don't have to apologize. That kind of thing would definitely have an affect on you, on anyone. You were just a kid, Louis. That shouldn't have happened to you. It must of been hard, not being able to tell anyone. But I want you to know you can talk to me, about anything. Okay?"

"Sure. Thanks, Alex."

"So I gather there was a time where you wanted to kill Niall. Why didn't you?"

"Yeah there was. That was the whole reason why I befriended Niall. I was planning on gaining his trust and then watching his reaction as I shoved a wooden stake right through his heart. Though I soon found out that he couldn't be killed. None of the royal family can. But after being part of his little group, we bonded and he's my best friend and I couldn't kill him. I could never hurt him. Not only is he my dad but he's been there for me when no one else was."

Niall's POV

I trusted Louis. I can't believe he would think I would hurt her.
I walked out of my room and down the hall. I could here faint voices coming from Alex's room.

"Wait. How does Niall come into this?"

I quickly put my ear to the door and listened intently.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

A tear slid down my cheek. Louis is my son.
I slaughtered his mother in front of him. What kind of a person does that.
A few more tears escaped my eyes.
I slid down the wall and hugged my knees.
So on top of not knowing what to do about Alex I now have to worry about my son.
What the hell am I supposed to do?
