Gateway to Heaven [h.s.]

Chapter 2

AN// Please comment your honest opinions, and I am always open for some criticism.

"Well isn't it just a beautiful night?" he stated softly, his deep british accent breaking through the silent night air. He seems familiar, as if I've been around him before. "You know, it's not very polite to stare." he smirks, snapping me out of my daydream.

"Oh I um, I'm sorry I didn't realize I was staring." I mutter under my breath. This really isn't the best first impression I've ever made. "Have we met? I feel like I've seen you before."

As soon as the words leave my mouth, his eyes change. Did I offend him? I look down at my hands as he starts to reply.

"No angel, I don't believe you even know my name. Do you?" His blunt reply startles me.

"Well no I guess n-"

"It's Harry. My name is Harry." He smiles and replies warmly. Usually I cannot stand when people interrupt me but with him I don't seem to mind. "Darling, you're staring again." Shit.

"Sorry, my name is Rose." I reply, my fingers fiddling together. "Why are you out here so late?" My mind speaks for me. Hopefully he doesn't find me snoopy.

"I like to go on early morning workouts" he hesitates, "but I noticed you here and you seemed a bit more interesting."

The more he talks, the more I am wanting to leave. He is charming, and his eyes allure me more and more with every passing second, but there's something in the back of my mind. Something warning me, alerting me to stay away from him. As my mind wanders further and further into those thoughts, I decide it's time to leave.

"I think I should go now, it's a bit cold." I whisper, for some reason I am suddenly afraid. Although I'm not sure what I'm afraid of. Maybe his reply, of the outcome of me trying to leave.

"No, stay." He demands. And I do. All I want to do is leave, but I can't. My body feels as if it's being controlled and not by me, by something else.

"You will stay, and you will leave when I say you can. Do you understand, angel?" His voice is laced with sweetness but I can tell it's a mask. Before I realize it my head is nodding, agreeing to his words. And at this point I realize, he is in control.

HARRY'S POV:

She is truly one of a kind. All of these human souls are, well, boring. These women pounce on me begging me to fuck them, and basically drag me into their homes where I can easily rip out their souls to add to my collection. But this one, this one has attracted me. She's been trying to push me away for years, and that makes me admire her. Rose is not easy to control, her mind is fighting back. Luckily, no matter how strong the mind or how pure the soul, the demonic hearts always win.

"I'm going to walk you home now, angel." And before she can reply, I'm taking her and guiding her behind me. It's quite beautiful really, how she falls under my spell. But I know her, and I know I won't get far before her snapping out of it.

I prove myself right as she suddenly snaps her hand out of my grip. "I can walk myself home from here, thanks." Her voice is as cold as my blood as she pushes in front of me and starts to walk away.

"Rose, stop." But to my surprise, she doesn't. My jaw drops and my hands clench on my sides. This has never happened before. A human, overpowering my control? Rose, Rose, Rose, what ever will I do with you?

// AN: I hope you enjoy it did far! As I've said, I'd really appreciate any constructive criticism. Thanks :) x
