Chapter 3

 Harry's POV

I left Hailey alone in the room that was now going to be called hers and went downstairs to join the others. As I was walking down the stairs I could already hear them talking about it.

“I don’t know about this guys, she’s just a regular girl with a regular life.” Liam said making me laugh as I got to the bottom of the stairs, making them all turn to face me.

“You’re too soft Liam.” I said shaking my hand.

“He has a point Harry, like the poor girl. Why are you even doing this?” Louis asked making me lean on the chair.

“Are you stupid? We let her go and she goes and tells everyone our secret. We have been close enough to being outed before. This is my home, I wont let some girl ruin that.” I snapped.

“She’s not just some girl to you is she?” Niall asked tilting his head.

“She is.” I said raising my eyebrow.

“So you wouldn’t mind if I go kill her right now?” Zayn asked standing up, making me step forward causing him to laugh and sit back down.

“You cant just kill the girl.” I said quietly.

“Why not? We’ve done it before.” Louis said eyeing me.

“Because she does seem different okay, last night she wasn’t scared of me or intimidated until I told her to run. Most girls get scared the moment I get all territorial.” I said shrugging.

“Awe Harry’s got himself a girlfriend.” Liam cooed making me roll my eyes.

“We all know after last time I can never love again.” I said turning around, heading down into the dungeon. I walked down the cold stone stairs and headed around the corners to my study, falling into one of the chairs and opening the desk. I pulled out an old journal that I had given up on, pulling the pen out and skimming through the pages, reading my dark past.

I’ve loved once in my life, a long time ago. Her name was Jenna and she was perfect  until she turned. We fell inlove and she begged me to turn her, so I obeyed her. We spent 7 years together and over those 7 years I could see the darkness inside of her coming out to the surface; the monster inside. She was killed for getting her hands too dirty and ever since then I’ve never had the desire to love again. After Jenna was killed I spent the next decade going on sprees every single day, it wasn’t until my brothers locked me up down here in the dungeon and starved me until I changed my ways. The deal we made was that once a month I could pick one person to feed off of. I’m not supposed to kill them but I always suck them dry until they die. But this time was clearly different and I had hardly any idea why. As I was sucking the blood out of her neck memories just flashed through my mind of my spree days and then I looked in her faint little hazel/brown eyes and I saw Jenna and I had to just stop.

I heard footsteps above me but they weren’t one of the boy’s. I could tell because they were quiet, sounding as if someone was trying to tip toe out. I got off the chair and ran through the back to the front door which swung open when I got there. Hailey jumped back and starred at me scared.

“Where do you think you’re going?” I asked as she starred at me, her jaw dropped slightly.

“I wasn’t going to run I swear.” She said making me laugh.

“Then why were you tip toeing out?” I asked.

“I just wanted to go get some things from home okay?” She said snippy.

“Fine, I’ll take you.” I said pulling my car keys out of my pocket. She rolled her eyes and pushed past me heading down the drive way.

“Where is it?” She asked turning to me. I smirked and noded for her to follow me. We walked around the side where all of our cars were parked and she starred at the five of them lined up.

“What one’s yours?” She asked.

“The red one.” I said watching her eyes widen. It was an old little car that I’ve had forever, it was a classic that could be sold for big bucks. She walked towards it and I unlocked it, getting in and allowing her to direct me to her house.

We got to her tiny little house on the edge of town and she unbuckled her seat belt before getting out. I followed close behind her as we walked up the path to her house. She pulled a key out of her purse and unlocked the door, flicking on a light and stepping in. I stepped forward and starred around the doorway at the invisible barrier. I couldn’t get in.

“My parents aren’t home.” She said looking back over at me.

“I cant come in, vampires can only come in once they’ve been invited in.” I said making her chuckle slightly. “So invite me in.” I added making her shake her head.

“I’ll be quick.” She said chuckling making me roll my eyes, I knew she would take her time.

I walked over to the lawn chair and sat down, stretching my legs out infront of me and tilting my head back. I listened carefully to the sound of her rummaging through her closet pulling out different outfits. Out of no where she began singing and it was the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. I sat up straighter and listened closer admiring as she hit every single note perfect.

I heard her bedroom door close and her run down the stairs. I sat up and she appeared, locking the door behind her.

“That was quick.” I said making her look over at me, pushing the hair out of her face.

“I told you I’d be quick.” She said making me nod. We walked down to the car in silence and she threw her stuff in the back before joining me in the passenger seat. I starred over at her admiring the way the moonlight hit her skin. She pulled the mirror down and brushed her hair off of her shoulder, inspecting the surface that I had indulged my fangs into a short while ago.

“Why is it healed?” She asked as I started the car.

“I fed you my blood.” I said making her gasp and look over at me quickly.

“You did what!?” She asked making me chuckle.

“You heard me.” I said looking over at her smirking as pulled out of the driveway, speeding down the street.

“But why?” She asked.

“If a human is hurt they can be healed by a vampire’s blood and if a vampire is hurt they can be hurt by a human’s blood.” I said watching her nod slowly.

“So you saved me?” She asked and in return I nodded. She sighed and leaned back, crossing her arms making me laugh.

“Not the thank you I was looking for.” I said making her shoot me a dirty look.

“I’m not going to get down on my knees and pray to you. You came onto me, threatened me, chased me, basically killed me and you’re keeping me hostage.” She said making me shrug.

“You make it sound like a bad thing.” I said ending with a laugh, pleased with myself as she sighed looking out the window.

“Just be quiet Harry.” She said making me furrow my brows as she starred out the window.

Hailey’s POV

The entire car ride was silent after our little exchange of words and as we pulled up to the house I took my seat belt off, wanting to get out immediately. I opened the door as the car stopped and went into the back, pulling my bag out and speed walking up the pathway. A gust of wind swept by me and Harry was standing infront of me making me gasp.

“You have got to stop doing that.” I said tryng to walk by him but he moved so I couldn’t.

“Don’t be snippy with me Hail.” He said making me roll my eyes.

“We aren’t on nickname terms Harry.” I said making him smile and stare down at me, his green eyes catching my attention.

“I’m sorry for what I did but I cant let our secret getting out again.” He said quietly looming over me.

“Again?” I asked. Before I knew it I was standing along and he zapped inside. I groaned and walked up the stairs, slamming the door behind me and heading up the stairs to the room I had to call mine for now.

I walked in and tossed my bag on the bed, pulling the clothes out to put them away neatly. I pulled out the knitted sweater my mom had got me only last week and smiled starring down at it. I knew that it was in my best interest to stay here but what would happen to my parents when they figure out I’m on vacation for a while?

There was a soft knock on the door and I turned to see Liam standing in the door way starring at me.

“Hey.” I said quietly making him smile and step in.

“Have a second to talk?” He asked as I nodded in response. He sat down on the bed and watched me as I stuffed more clothes away.

“What’s up?” I asked brushing the hair out of my face. He shrugged and starred at me.

“I get that you’re in captivity but don’t be afraid to talk to me. I’m your friend Hailey.” He said making me lower my head. Friends? I’ve known the kid for like a day and he thinks he can be my friend. I mean I know he was the nicest to me and nurtured me back to health but how could I be friends with a vampire.

“I’ll do anything to prove my loyalty to you.”He said making me stare down at him. I sat down beside him and put my hands in my lap.

“Tell me all about it; the good and the bad. I want to know what it’s like to be a vampire; what it means.” I said making him nod.

“For starters we can hear everything, it’s heightened for some reason.” He explained.

“Like how well?” I asked.

“Well I can hear Louis and Niall in the kitchen arguing about some drinks.” He said making me chuckle.

“We can get places fast as you can tell.” He said making me nod. “Super strength.” He said flexing his arm making me laugh.

“What’s the worst part?” I asked making him sigh and look at the ground.

“The emotions.” He answered making me furrow my brows. “You see; humans obviously have emotions but when you become a vampire that all gets heightened. When you feel hurt we feel pain, when you’re sad we are devastated, when you’re happy we are ecstatic. We love more deeper, fall easier and stay in love longer. That’s why you’re here.” HE said making me raise my eyebrow.

“What do you mean?” I asked quietly.

“Harry hasn’t love for decades and decades but when he saw you he knew you were different and he felt a stronger connection with you then you did with him. He wont let you go until you are 100% inlove with him like how he wants you to be.” He said making my lips part and my throat go dry.

“What if I don’t want to and don’t fall in love with him?” I asked making him shrug.

“I don’t know, all I know is it would send him in a never ending downward spiral.”

“You’re not saying he loves me, are you?” I asked making him shake his head slowly.

“No, he’s not in love yet. But I know Harry and I know that he can pick the prettiest girls but it doesn’t matter; he kills them. Yet here you are, completely healthy and breathing.”

“So you’re saying that there’s a reason Harry didn’t kill me?” I asked making him nod and stand up.

“We just have to find out what it is.”
