Ariana’s POV

The journey home was nerve-racking to say the least.

As soon as the apartment door closed, Harry headed toward the kitchen with me in tow. He pulled open the fridge door and took out a blood bag from our local hospital before pulling off the tab.

“Since someone interrupted my meal,” he muttered before bringing the opening to his lips.

He took a small sip before spitting it back out.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“Vervain,” he sputtered.

“What?” I gasped.

“Someone put vervain in that blood bag,” he choked.

I sped through the living room and froze as a foreign scent met my nose.

“Harry!” I called in distress.

“What?” he asked, appearing at my side instantly.

“Someone’s been in our house,” I whispered shakily.

Harry disappeared and reappeared moments later.

“Their scent is all over the house, but they’ve covered it well. I can’t tell who it is,” he said.

“Why is someone harassing us?” I asked in frustration.

“I don’t know,” he said. “But we’re going to find out.”

“I think I’m going to warn Louis and Jack to watch out for any suspicious behavior,” I said while slipping my shoes back on.

“Are you sure that’s a good idea?” Harry asked worriedly.

I captured his lips with mine briefly.

“I’ll be fine,” I breathed.

“Just be careful,” he said.

“I will be,” I promised.

My feet carried me across town in a breeze and my fist rapped urgently on Louis’ door.

“Ariana,” he said in surprise. “What’s going on?”

I pulled him inside to where Jack was enjoying a cup of tea while watching the morning news.

“Someone broke into our flat and put vervain in our food,” I said. “We think someone is trying to hurt us.”

Louis looked at me puzzled. “Why would anyone want to hurt you?”

“I don’t know!” I said. “But I just wanted you and Jack to keep an eye out for anything suspicious.”

“Yeah, of course. We’d be happy to,” said Jack, standing up to join us in the entryway.

“You need to relax Ari,” said Louis. “Everything will be okay.”

Louis pulled me into a hug, but before I could pull away, I felt a sharp pain in my side.

My vision started to go fuzzy and I felt myself collapsing. I briefly caught the image of Louis holding a small, and empty, syringe.

“I’m sorry,” I heard faintly. “It’s for the best.”

I blacked out.

Harry’s POV

As soon as my cup of tea was doctored and perfect, I sauntered into the living room to watch the news.

“Well well; if it isn’t Harry Styles,” said a familiar voice from behind me.

My blood ran cold and fear shot through my body as I turned to face none other than Zayn.

“What the hell are you doing alive?” I hissed.

“I’m back to attend to some unfinished business,” he said with a smirk.

“What?” I asked in confusion.

Before I could attack him myself, two guys came from behind and stuck a syringe in my neck.

“No!” I shouted.

My vision went fuzzy and I felt more injections before I finally blacked out.

Zayn’s POV

“Harry was always stronger when it came to vervain,” I said, watching his motionless body on the floor.

“What should we do with him?” asked one of my slayers.

I nudged his still form with my foot.

“Take him to the dungeon with Ariana.”
