Stranger Things Happen

Chapter Seventeen

Niall's POV

"Nooo!" I screamed. I collapsed next to her body. I reached my arm up and tore through the flesh of my wrist and placed it upon her lips. I started to become frantic when she didn't drink. When her lips didn't move.

"Louis, can you walk?" I asked. He nodded clutching his stomach. "Then go get the first aid kit."

He stumbled out of the room. I took his place on her wound, applying as much pressure I could without braking anything.

Louis came running back into the room with a small red box in his hands. I took it from him and rummaged through it until I found what I was looking for. I pierced my vein with the needle and filled the syringe with my blood. I withdrew the needle and unbuttoned Alex's first few buttons of her top, revealing the pattern of her bra to my eyes.

I slammed the needle into her chest above her heart and pushed the blood through the syringe, letting it enter her body with its healing properties.

I listened intently until I heard a faint heartbeat and I sighed in relief.

"What happened?" I asked Louis.

"I don't remember." He said with his eyebrows furrowed.

I slipped my arms under Alex's body and picked her up bridal style. I took her to her bedroom down the hall and laid her on the red bedsheets. I checked her wound to find it had healed, thank god.

I walked out of her room, Louis in front of me, I closed the door leaving her to rest.

Alex's POV

I sat up with a gasp, instantly placing my hand over the gash in my stomach, but it wasn't there. What the hell happened?

I tried to remember what happened. Trying to place the puzzle pieces together. Harry. Oh my god.

The handle turned and the door slowly opened. Niall stepped in before closing the door.

"Are you okay?" He asked as he walked toward me. I nodded in response, though my eyebrows furrowed.

"What's wrong?"

"How am I alive? The last thing I remember is getting stabbed before I blacked out." I replied.

"I shoved a syringe full of my blood into your heart." He replied bluntly.

"Oh."

"Listen, do you know what happened?" I nodded.

"It was Harry. He came out of nowhere and started saying Louis didn't do his job." I told him everything and he listened intently, his eyes never losing contact with mine.

"Well that would explain why Louis has no memory of what happened. Why do you? Have memory of it, I mean."

"I don't know. He tried to use, um, I guess you would call it compulsion, on me. But it didn't work. Once he noticed he threw a knife straight into me. Was he always like this?"

"No. I don't think it's him. It is very rare but there is a source of mind control, very powerful and very hard to master, but possible to use if you master the skill correctly. I think that is what has happened to Harry."

"So you think someone is possessing him?"

"Yes. I just don't know who. But when I find out, they are going to be in a world of hurt."
