Narrative:

As Perrie and Jesy take turns hurdling attacks at the Valkyrie, Ed motions for them to keep it up a little longer so he and Harry could create a cage for her.

"You know how to do it, right?"

"Not really, but I'm a fast learner."

That was enough of an answer for the warlock to begin creating a cage that could isolate the Valkyrie.

Harry watches him intently before taking a deep breath and holding both his hands out, focusing on helping him strengthen the cage's durability.

Within seconds, they successfully finish it and make a gesture for the two witches to lour the blonde headed Valkyrie inside.

Jesy sends a powerful blast right at Taylor, but she dodges it and the attack accidentally hits Perrie instead.

"AAGGHHHH!!!"

"Pezza!"

Ed and Jesy immediately race to their friend who is wincing in pain, leaned against a building's wall.

Harry is the only one holding open the cage now and he's getting a tad tired since Ed left to help Perrie.

"Well well, look who we have here."

The witch boy looks up and sees that the Valkyrie has found him.

"Is that for me? Now, that's not very nice."

Taylor, as told by Ed was her name, inched closer to him. He's panicking and doesn't know whether to attack her or keep the cage open-

"Don't you dare lay a finger on him!"

The voice startles both Harry and Taylor. Before the two least expect it, the Valkyrie is pushed inside the cage. The curly haired lad quickly swipes his hand up, which closes the cage and confines the angry blonde.

Harry drops to his knees once making sure Taylor is securely inside, taking deep breaths and wiping the tiny bit of sweat on his forehead. He almost forgot he just recovered from being drained of all his blood.

"H-...Harry? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I-..." The boy finally looks up to see who pushed Taylor inside the cage, and his eyes widen in shock.

Louis nervously extends a hand to help the lad up, and thankfully the witch boy accepts it.

They stand there in silence for a few seconds, unsure of what to say, so Harry breaks it by pulling the vampire in a tight hug, feeling tingles he's sure are not caused by his powers.

After a bit of hesitance, Louis wraps his arms around the younger boy, inhaling his scent that triggered something within him.

And for once, it wasn't because of hunger.

It was a warm sensation coursing through his veins. An invisible pull. A strong connection. Something that makes him feel whole.

Then it hits him.

"Harry... You're my soulmate."

"I'm your wha-"

Harry gets cut off by someone shouting for them to "GET OUT OF THE WAY!"

A jaguar comes flying pass them, hitting a lamppost and slumping down to the floor. The animal shifts into an unconscious guy and Jade ties him up with her magic.

"...uh, where were we?" Harry shyly asks.

"I'll cut to the chase for you."

Before the witch boy knows it, there are lips pressing into his.

"You got that?" Louis says with a smile after he pulls away.

"Hmm, I don't think so. Can you kindly repeat that?" Harry cheekily says.

Someone clearing their throat catches their attention. They both turn to see Liam out of his wolf form, grinning at them, "sorry to ruin the moment, but we're currently in the middle of fulfilling a prophecy here so..."

"Oh umh, yeah! We'll be with you in a second." Louis dismisses their werewolf friend, watching him nod and shift once again to help the others.

"Alright, I know you might still be mad at me-"

"I'm not!" Harry is quick to protest.

"Yeah but that doesn't change the fact that I almost killed you. I promise you that I never meant to hurt you and that if, IF you want to make things work between us, I'll gladly wait for you and-"

"Louis, that is truly sweet of you, it is, but if we're not a thing by the time this battle ends I will no doubt go insane. So can we please just seal the deal and agree that I am yours and you are mine?"

"Well, if you put it like that." Louis grins widely, taking one of Harry's hands and pulling him along, "I got myself a boyfriend!"

The two stealthily avoided being seen by any of the enemies as they meet up with Liam near an alleyway.

"Great of you two to join us."

"Us?"

"Hi lovebirds!" Niall pipes up, unexpectedly appearing in front of them.

Liam smiles at the ghost boy fondly, then goes back to serious mode when another explosion goes off in the distance, "okay, how are we going to take him down?"

"Well..." Niall starts, "Simon isn't easily distracted. But if three of us attack him from different sides, he won't have a choice to fight back."

"Then one of us has to kill him from behind when he isn't expecting it." Louis states.

"Kill?" The witch boy asks.

"Yes. It's the only way to stop him. If we keep him locked up, he might escape and try to do this again. It's best to end it now."

Harry nods in agreement with Niall and Liam.

"Then do the honors, Lou."

A shocked expression crosses the vampire's face, "me? How?"

With a quick wave of his hand, Harry conjures up a sword and hands it to Louis, "I know you can do it."

The older lad takes the sword, gripping the handle firmly then nodding to his friends and boyfriend, "let's get this over with."

Sorry for long wait and short chapter. Got writer's block and wasn't feeling really into writing on this so if it's crappy I blame myself soz.

But next chapter will be the last (maybe) before the epilogue and I'm sad to say this but In The Middle of the Night is almost done. (╥_╥)

It's been a great journey.

Can't wait to start writing new books tho. So stay tuned to find out what I'll be writing about next.

See y'all later!
