I.
Harry had a pretty weird job. He killed demons, ghosts, werewolves, vampires, rogue angels, you name it; he was a hunter. Most hunters had a pretty sad back story about being orphaned by some bad ass bump-in-the-night-creature and ridding the world of that bad thing becoming their top priority in life. Harry had a back story like it, he had no parents. His father was a hunter and raised him to be one as well. He always got lectured on how dangerous these creatures can be because one had taken his mother. He was young when she died, only a year old, so he doesn't really remember her. One day, his dad went out and never came back. Harry was fifteen with minimal experience, so he set out to find his father. He found his dad but he was dead.

Harry was upset but his dad was pretty shitty, the most important thing was always the job, not Harry. Not long after standing over his father's dead body, he heard the sound of a struggle and then silence. His hunter instincts kicked in and he backed into a corner and kept quiet. He heard some whispering and then there was a hand in front of his face.

"Hey. Did ya know him?" The stranger had big brown eyes and a sweet voice.

"Yeah, um, he's my dad. Well he was my dad." Harry answered, a bit sad for himself but not moping because his dad raised him to never mourn the dead because there are too many to mourn. Because ya know shitty dad.

"Sorry kid but we gotta go." Harry only noticed the other stranger in the room at this point. His voice was high but he was small. He had light hair that looked like it had been swept back from his face several times, judging by how it was sticking up in different spots.

Harry grabbed the brown eyed boy's hand and allowed him to help him up from where he scooted into the corner. Just then he heard a lot of hissing and what sounded like the breaking of boards. A group of three vampires ran in from upstairs. "Do you know how to fight kid?" The smaller one asked.

Before Harry could answer, a vampire pounced at his face and he was shoved out of the way. The nice boy took it out and Harry could see that the other was yanking his machete out of a female vampire's throat. They tag teamed the last one and then got Harry and ran.

"Do you, uh, want your dad's body, or..." The feathery haired boy asked. Harry looked at him and noticed that his eyes were a sharp arctic blue.

"No. My dad was an asshole." Harry helped the others carry out the bodies in order to burn them. As they stood around the fire Harry broke the silence, "So, hi. I'm Harry."

The blue eyed one replied,"Louis. This over here is Liam."

Liam waved. "How old are you Harry?"

"I'm fifteen."

"Oh just a babe!" Louis commented, but Liam said, "Oh come on, Lou. You're only eighteen." Then he looked at Harry, "I just turned seventeen."

"You have a home, Harry?" Louis asked.

"No, never really have."

"Would you like to join ours?"

"Yes, I really would." And for the first time in god only knows, Harry actually smiled.

II.
Four years, a relationship between Liam and Louis, and a thousand jobs later, Harry was making tea for himself in a seedy hotel in the middle of nowhere. He had just finished making the perfect cup of tea when Louis walked by.

"Morning, Lou!"

"Morning, Curly." Louis grabbed the tea cup from Harry just as he was about to take a sip. "Thanks, love."

Harry sighed and turned around to make another cup for himself after sending Louis a pointed glare. ("If you keep looking at me like that, your face will stick. And besides, if you're going to get up first, you should make tea for everyone.")

"So, are we going to go today?" Harry asked.

"Oh my, eager to kill a bunch of vamps, are we?"

"Fuck off, Lou. I just wanna get out of this hotel and breathe."

"And why can't you breathe right now, doll?"

"Because with you and Liam always making out and doing god knows what, I'm trapped with two disgusting-"

"Good morning boys!" Liam came in being, as always, chirpy in the mornings. He walked over to Louis and kissed him on the top of the head then walked over to Harry and poked him in the shoulder. "Hey Hazza."

"Just drink your coffee so we can go." Harry said as he shoved a cup in Liam's face.

"Aw, is someone grumpy today? What's wrong Harry-Bear?" Liam said as he walked over to sit by Louis.

Harry had to sit through thirty minutes of gooey couple stuff ("C'mere Lili. You never gave me a good morning kiss."), a shared shower between the two("Save water, yeah?"), and then Louis fixing his hair for another half hour ("It's flat! I don't know how long I have to puff it up until it's up. I need to have a quiff higher than Einstein's IQ!") before they could go. He packed everything up and got in the car waiting to go ("Oh well, sorry Princess, didn't know the Queen was waiting for you.").

III.
When they got to the vampire den, it was quiet. He'd like to say too quiet, but that seems a bit cliche. There were two vampires outside the den and they were taken out from afar with a bow and arrow. "So that's why you always bring that thing, huh?" Louis whispered

It didn't take long to get inside what with Louis' machete, Liam's ax and Harry's scimitar. They got through the entire den in about an hour, Harry feeling more alive than ever.

"I think that's all of them." Liam stated.

"Record time, too! Anyone hungry? I think I saw a diner on the way here. I need some tea." Louis said.

But Harry wasn't paying attention to them because he saw a room adjacent to the hall they just came out of. He started walking towards the doorway, a curtain hanging over the entrance.

"Harry?" Liam asked. "Um, where're you going?"

"Look," Harry said simply. He walked in and the others followed. There was a small, bloody boy tied up to a chair against the wall in the back of the room.

They all ran over to the boy, Harry and Liam cutting the rope binding him to the chair as Louis shook him lightly. The boy made a small noise and then Louis gasped.

"Niall!"
