(Merry Christmas babes! ^~^ can this get 30+ comments Pweaaaase?)

Liam's P.O.V

"Eavesdropping?" I asked Louis out of curiosity.

"Eh, yeah." He nodded, shrugging his shoulders and tilting his head to the side. "I used to sneak into old vampire lairs because I didn't have anywhere else to stay. So, while I kept myself hidden, I sometimes would watch and listen to them read aloud some writing on the wall. It looked the same as the writings on here." he points to the book in his hand.

Harry smiled at him softly, his eyes never leaving the vampire lad.

I bet he's fonding over his accent. I admit, Louis has a nice voice, but I'm more into loud but cute ones...like Niall's.

Is it too early to say I really really like him? We've only known each other for an approximate 27 hours but...I can't help but have these feelings for him.

"Okay, here it goes."

Did I really just forget about the prophecy because of thinking about Niall?

I need to keep focus. Starting...now.

"A hundred centuries ago, a wizard named Jeremiah Condriath predicted that evil creatures will arise and take over the human world a hundred centuries later."

"Woah, that's a really long time ago." Niall comments, nodding for Louis to continue where he left off.

"But four heroes, along with their own comrades, will unite and defeat them..."

Harry furrowed his eyebrows, speaking up, "comrades? Are we supposed to look for other creatures like us to help defeat these evil ones?"

"I'm guessing so...?"

Who would even want to help us? No, more like, who would even want to help humans? Obviously me, Niall, Louis and Harry have no choice but to protect them, but will others like us, too?

"Keep reading, Louis."

"Okay, uh...w-wait I don't-"

"What's wrong?" Harry asks, a hint of concern in his voice.

"I can't read the other writings! The ink somehow faded. The only words I can make out are 'death'.....and 'love'".

Now Niall decided to panic next to me.

"DEATH?! IS ONE OF US GONNA DIE?!! WAIT-I'm already dead...BUT DEATH?!!"

Out of instinct, I pulled the blonde ghost boy in for a hug, hoping it'll comfort him.

And it did.

He wrapped his arms around my waist as I petted his hair. "No one is going to die, Ni. Maybe our enemies, but not us."

I hear him sigh contently and mumble a quiet, "I hope.."

After being in complete silence for a couple of seconds, Louis handed the book to Harry, accidentally brushing their hands together, causing a faint blush to appear on the witch boy's cheeks.

"Lads.." Louis suddenly spoke. We looked at him expectantly and he continued. "If we're supposed to be fighting alongside others, then I suggest we begin searching for some."

Harry's P.O.V

"But...where do we start?" Niall asks, raising a brow.

An idea popped into my head. I stood up from my sitting position and rushed to my bookshelf, smiling as I find the book I needed next to my lovely cat. Wait, have I already mentioned I had a cat? Well, if no, then hey everyone! I have a cat named Desirée! But I call her Dusty cause she likes getting under my bed where it's pretty dusty-wait, back to the prophecy.

I could feel Louis' eyes on me as he points to the book in my hand and asks,"What's that, Harry?"

"A book."

"Yeah, I know that." He rolls his eyes. "But, is it going to help us with our situation?"

"Nope."

"Wh-"

"The thing that's inside will." I cut him off, flipping through pages until an old, folded piece of paper falls out. Liam picks it up, unfolds it, and smiles at me.

"This will surely help us, Harry."

"What is?"

Liam flips the paper over so we could see, revealing the map. A map that contained every location of supernatural creatures that lived near me.

"Oh, perfect. Wanna begin searching?" We nodded in agreement to Louis as I pointed to the nearest house on the map. "This is exactly a half an hour walk away, let's go now before it gets dark."

"Come on, then!" Niall exclaims, pushing us all out of my cabin and gesturing for me to lead the way.

"Alright, mates, follow me."
_____

"So, is this it?" Louis asks, turning to me.

We've been walking and chatting along the way about random stuff until we've reached a small, rickety shack.

I nodded in response, checking the map again for safe measure and indeed we have arrived.

Liam went up to the door and knocked three times, stepping back and waiting for someone to answer it. Eventually, the door squeaked open to reveal a guy with ginger hair wearing a dark purple robe with a stick in his hand.

"Who goes there?"

"Er...tis I-"

"Nah man, cut the crap, was just playin' with ya." The guy waves Liam off, laughing.

"O-kay...?"

Now things are awkward.

Good thing Louis was there to prevent the awkwardness from getting worse. "Look, we don't mean no harm, alright? But we do need your help."

Ginger guy looks at each of us one by one, then stays on Liam with a questioning look, "why?"

"Because," Niall decides to answer his question (most likely because he was jealous of the guy looking at Liam). "We were destined to fight against an evil rising to take over the human world."

"Oh?"

"Yep." I nodded to him.

"Well, okay. I'm in."

...

Wait what?

"You are?" I ask in disbelief. No one, and I mean no one who are like us ever dared to have anything to do with humans.

"Yes. The reason? I was once human, too. Why not help them out? And, we're talking about the prophecy of Jeremiah Condriath, am I right?"

All four of us nodded to the guy who we still don't know the name of. From what I can tell, he seemed to have the ability to wield magic, like I can.

"Welcome aboard then...?"

"Edward Sheeran. But I prefer Ed." He held out his hand for all of us to shake as we introduced ourselves to him, too.

"Ed Sheeran huh? Sounds like a name of a famous artist." Niall comments.

"Yeah, I get that a lot. But what about you lads? If I didn't know any better, I'd assume you four were in a world famous boy band. Although you seem to be missing something...eh, forget it." Ed waved the subject off, turning to look at me. "Witch, am I right?"

How'd he?

"Mate, I sensed your aura like you sensed mine. We're practically cousins! In a mythical creatures kind of relation. I'm a warlock."

Niall's P.O.V

"Sick. Can you conjure up food, too?" I ask in wonder. The ginger guy, Ed, nodded his head and I almost shout from happiness. I'LL NEVER STARVE AGAIN.

"So, Ed," Louis speaks up. "Do you know anyone from this map that might be interested in helping us out, too?" He handed the map to the warlock dude.

Ed squints his eyes and smiles, nodding his head. "A few, actually. Come on, I'll lead you four to the nearest people from here." He locks the door to his place and waves the stick in his hand around that created a lock, securing his small shack.

While we walked, following Ed to wherever he was taking us, I noticed that he and Harry have instantly clicked. The two were walking side by side, chatting and occasionally using their magic to show the other what they could do. It was pretty cool. I'm glad Harry made a new friend.

But someone wasn't too pleased though. That someone being non other than Louis. The vampire guy kept his distance from us and his eyes were fixed on Harry, nothing else. It might sound creepy, but I find it quite cute. He's so not subtle with his jealousy.

I nudged Liam lightly, getting his attention and gesturing with my eyes to Louis who was behind us. He gave me a look before slowing his pace, me mimicking his move, so we could be right by Louis' side. The guy didn't even acknowledge our presence until I snapped my fingers in front of his face, receiving a glare and a spit of "what?" from him.

"Lou, you're acting off more than usual. What's up?"

"Nothing is. Leave me alone." He replied quickly.

Liam and I weren't convinced, so we kept on bothering him, "Louis, come on, man, it's alright to open up to us."

"That's just it. I don't want to open up."

"Why the hell not? You seem like you need someone to talk to. We're here for ya, alright?" Liam said, placing a hand on Louis' shoulder.

"Yeah yeah, I know, I just-...I can't tell you. It's too early to confess." Liam and I shared a look, having to know very well of what he's talking about.

"It's fine, Louis."

Louis' P.O.V

Damn you Edward Sheeran with your ginger hair and snow white complexion and fucking magic stick. Why can't I be like that? Oh yeah, cause 1, I am not him, and 2, I can't be like him.

But does he really have to be so close with Harry after only getting to know him for, what? 10 minutes? That is just absurd. Like, who does that?

You're probably thinking boi you jealous right now. Well, no. I'm not. I can't be. Am I? Fooking shit I am. Why do I have these feelings?!

"Hey LouLou!"

"Aahhh!!!" I jump at the sudden voice, my fangs becoming more prominent and eyes going red because of instinct. I turn to my right and immediately regret it once my eyes lock with terrified green ones. "Oh my god, Harry, I'm sorry." I shake my head, retracting my fangs and hoping my eyes were back to it's original blue color.

"N-no, it's okay. It was my fault for startling you and-"

"Don't apologize. I was the one who scared you-"

"No not at all!"

"Harry..."

"Louis..."

"NIALL!" the blonde ghost interrupts Harry and I's little battle of who needs to apologize. We looked at each other, then to Niall who hid behind Liam's back, then to each other again.

"Sorry." We both say in unison. God, why are we so in sync?

"Alright, lovebirds, break it up!" Ed's voice gathers our attention so we all were looking at him...and to four girls that had dark magic radiating around them.

"Lads, meet the girls. Girls, meet the lads."

What a great way of introducing. I thought to myself, rolling my eyes at the ginger haired warlock.

The girl with blonde hair speaks up first, eyeing us carefully, "Ed, who are these lads you've brought with you?"

"Emh, can't say we're friends since we only just met, but they're here to ask for help. You girls remember the prophecy I once talked to you about?"

This time, it's the girl with black hair that speaks up, "you mean the one predicted by Jeremiah Condriath?"

"Bingo. That's the one."

"Goodness," the one with very curly hair gapes at us. "You boys are the chosen ones?"

The lads and I awkwardly nod our heads. Harry being the friendly guy he is, outstretches his hand for a shake. "I'm Harry. And these are Louis, Liam and Niall." He says while pointing to each of us.

The girl with red orange-y hair accepts the handshake and introduces herself and her friends. "The name's Jade. These lasses over here are Perrie, Jesy and Leigh Anne."

"Nice to meet you." Harry smiles at them which they returned.

Why must he be so beautiful?

"So, do you boys have any idea of what you're fighting up against?" Jesy asks.

The boys nod for me to tell them so I did. From the taking over the human world part to the unreadable writings.

"We need all the help we can get, who knows what our enemies are capable of."

"Then don't fret. We know some acquaintances who would be willing to help you." Leigh Anne assures.

As much as I like knowing the fact that the number of our comrades is increasing, it's scaring the shit out of me with the thought of losing my control over my thirst. I'll ruin everything if I make one wrong move.

"Louis?"

"Huh?" I look at Harry, who nervously fiddled with his fingers.

"If like, anything is bothering you and, you need to talk, I'm here, alright?" A weak smile makes its way to my face, and I nodded gratefully to him.

"I'll keep that in mind. Thank you, Harry."

Maybe that's what I need. Someone to talk to.

Okay I dunno I think this was kinda crappy but, eh, it's good enough, right?

Who do you think should guest star in the book, too? Comment pwease. :)

As always, Vote, Comment and Enjoy reading!

Bye Snow Howlers!
