Him

''Anybody home?'' I called, once I was inside. ''Harry.'' I heard someone whimper from the back of the room. It wasn't Zayn, it was Louis.

''Lou? Are you okay?'' I asked, walking towards where his voice had come from. He was sat on the ground, his whole body shaking, legs and arms pulled together to make himself as small as possible. He looked up at me, his eyes big with fear. ''He was here, Harry. He was here.''

''Who was?'' I asked, worried for my best friend's health and safety. ''Horan, he was here.'' He spoke, choking out a sob. My heart started to pound, my eyes were itching. Horan doesn't just show up. He shows himself only to kill, or to leave a message. ''What did he do, Louis? What did he want?'' I asked, crouching down next to him.

That's when he released his arm. The sight made me almost faint instantly, even though that was an ability I didn't have as a demon. ''Louis.'' I choked out. I didn't know what to feel at this moment. Anger? Sorrow? Agony?

Louis white clothes, were now stained red. His wrist was dripping, slowly but surely. ''Three months. Three months until I bleed out. Unless you-'' Louis explain, abruptly stopping with his sentence. ''Unless what Louis?'' I asked, pressing my eyes shut. This wasn't the time where I wanted them to turn black, but it was so hard to fight it. My whole head felt like it was on fire. ''Unless you kill, Haven. He said you're taking too long. That you needed motivation. My death is your motivation. If you don't kill her then...''

''...Then you're dead.'' I finished his sentence, no longer able to hold back my demon like senses. I let out an angry growl, standing up and punching the wall above Louis's head. It scared him, he scurried away from me. I couldn't blame him. I needed to control my anger. I couldn't. ''I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU DIE!'' I shouted, not really directing my words towards Louis.

''But Haven-'' Louis whispered. I knew my friend all too well. He'd rather die himself than let someone die for him. That wasn't just an angel thing, it was a Louis thing. ''I'm not going to let her die either!'' I spoke, clenching my fists together to keep my from punching the wall again. ''You can't go against Horan-'' Louis began, but I cut him of by grabbing my keys and stomping towards the front door. ''Yes I can.'' And with that I left the house, slamming the door behind me.

''Gigi, I need to speak to Haven.'' I spoke, not really asking. ''She's in her room.'' She replied, probably hearing in my voice that it was important. ''Thank you.'' I replied, walking into their house and up the stairs as quickly as possible.

Three months. Three months seemed like a lot, but it wasn't. At all. I needed to do something, now. With all the things on my mind, the part where I was a gentleman had completely faded away. I barged into Haven's room without knocking. She wasn't naked, don't worry.

''Harry. What are you doing?'' She asked, shocked that I had just entered her room. Or maybe just the fact that I was here in the first place. ''I need to know something.'' I spoke, walking towards her. She had stood up from where she was writing behind her desk. Her back pressed against it, like she didn't want me to come closer. ''Where is your father?'' I asked, standing closer than I had to. ''Why?'' She asked, obviously uncomfortable. ''Where is your father?'' I asked again. I needed to know. Her mother said her father was my way out of this mess. And especially now, when it wasn't just Haven's life, but also Louis's, at stake.
