Louis' P.O.V

What the hell?! I can't believe I almost bit Harry! Get a grip, Louis! You could've messed up big time. He probably fears me now-I saw it in the look of his eyes!

I need to control myself. I have to. But how can I when even being just a few feet away from him I could still smell his blood's scent. It's nothing I've ever encountered before. And I wanted it. So bad. But I can't.

Right now I'm just sitting silently on a tree branch, back leaned against the tree's bark while I stared down at the witch boy's cabin.

To be honest, they-Niall, Liam and Harry-weren't that bad. In fact, they were really nice. But me being me, I had to be a jerk to avoid getting too attached to them. I can't relive what I did years ago. It would scar me for life. And I'm already dead for eternity! My family's death made me realize that I wasn't safe around others anymore. If I so much as cared for one of those boys and accidentally hurt them I will never forgive myself.

But Harry is making it so hard for me to not ignore him. His green eyes that stood out like shining emeralds, his smile that could brighten up anyone's day, those curly locks I desperately want to run my fingers through. He's an angel. An angel who wields dark powers. A dark angel with a heart pure as gold. Like his boots. Wait, what? Damn it. I'll admit, I've been secretly eyeing him from head to toe. He's just so perfect!

Fuck!

I need to stop!

A vampire and a witch cannot be together! Plus we're both guys! Not that I have anything against that. But it would disrupt the balance of the earth!

Wait-what am I talking about? Ugh...

"Hi Louis!"

"Aahhh!!" I yelp, losing balance on the tree branch but managed to hold on to it before I could fall. I was pretty up high, falling would cause me to break all my bones, but not die. I'm already dead.

I look down below to where that startling voice came from, only to find Niall waving frantically at me from his room's window.

Weird lad..

"What are you doing up there, mate?" He asks, now resting his head in his hands as his elbows prop themselves on the window. "No wait, more like how did you get up there, mate? Ooh! Did you turn into a bat?"

This boy...I swear

"Umh..no." I raise an eyebrow at him. Why can't he just go back to staring at his posters of food? "Don't tell me you assume I say blah blah blah as well, cause I do not say that." Where did people even hear that from? It's stupid, really.

I quickly pull myself back up onto the branch, steadying myself before I turn back to the blonde boy's window, only to find him already in front of me.

"Aahhh!! What the fuck?! How'd you-? W-wha??" Niall, who seemed to be amused by my startled expression, laughed aloud. "Man, answer the question!"

"Okay okay! Uh...I actually don't know myself." He admits and laughs again, leaving me to stare at him like he was nuts.

"But honestly, I really don't know how I got up here. I just thought about joining you here cause it looks pretty cool-it is, pretty cool, by the way-and poof! I'm here!" I didn't understand a word he said, because 1) he said it too fast, and 2) cause of his very heavy Irish accent. I didn't even know he was Irish till now!

"Uh..okay? Why don't you do it again?" I suggest, just so he would go away. He flashed me a wide grin before doing what he did a minute ago. And just like that, poof, he was gone.

He can teleport.

Niall's P.O.V

When Louis told me to do the thing again, I thought of being next to Liam. I felt that same tingle that happened the first time and once I opened my eyes, I was face to face with a pair of brown puppy-like eyes.

"Er..Niall?"

"...Liam."

"How'd you--?"

"I dunno.."

...

...

...

"Can you-umh-get off of me?"

"Oh! Sorry!" I hurriedly plopped myself on the couch instead of on his lap and tried to hide the blush on my cheeks.

Fuck. That was embarrassing!

Why did I have to think of Liam? Why not Harry? That boy could have food with him anytime. But Liam...he could melt my heart every time just by staring into his eyes.

"Niall? Did you hear me?"

"Uh-what?" I ask, now turning to him. He had a soft smile on his face, which relieved me. Maybe he wasn't that bothered by my sudden appearance.

Liam chuckled before repeating himself, "I said, are you alright? You look kind of red. Are you getting a fever? Wait-do ghosts get sick? Shit!-I mean, Sh--eep. Yeah, sheep. Uh...sorry for bombarding you with questions."

"Hey, it's fine." I reassured, glad I'm not the only one who's feeling awkward right now. "I'm fine, by the way. Probably the cold air making my cheeks blush." I lied. He can't know the real reason why I'm blushing furiously. He might think I'm weird. Or...maybe he already thinks that? Damn it.

"Oh? I thought you were in your new room?"

Oh shit

"Well, I was at my new room, but then I found a Louis bird hanging on a branch outside my window so I opened it and called out to him and then he, like, swooped down and tried pecking at my hair cause he thought it was potato fries but then I fought back and he let me go and I came crashing through the window and...here I am."

Woah, did I just make all of that up?

I looked at Liam to see his reaction and find him cracking into a smile and bursting into laughter. Hey, I got him to laugh! That's one point for me!

"As much as I want to believe that, I can't. Because if you really did come crashing through the window, it should be broken. Well, it isn't. So, spill." Why is he so calm? This guy's weird. But I like him. And I'm weird. So I like weird guys. What?

"You can tell me the truth, Ni. I swear, I won't get mad and bite you." Okay, now that he mentions it, I guess I'll just tell him then.

"Well..."

Liam's P.O.V

"-then Louis said I should try it again so I thought of you and that's how I ended up in your lap, face to face." Niall finishes explaining. Now that, I can believe.

"So, you can teleport?"

"I guess so.." A smile crept onto his face once realization hit him. "Cool! Now I don't have to sneak into villages to take their food! I can just teleport there and poof! Haha yas!" He exclaimed happily.

I laughed at his statement, resulting for him to stare at me with a raised brow, causing me to stop and stare at him back. "Wait-you're serious?"

"Eh...no?"

"Niall..."

"What? I've done it before anyway-"

"You what?!"

"Nobody could see me! Or was able to touch me! So I said to myself 'what the heck, I'ma steal all yo food' and yeah..was it bad?" He stared at me with big blue eyes and a small pout. Awww..

Even though the stealing part triggered my good boy instinct, I let it slide. I was always the type of person to do the right thing. Never in my life have I done a wrong deed. That's why I stayed away from people, to protect them from me. Hurting innocent people were wrong.

"Nah, I understand why you did it. You were hungry."

"Yes, exactly! Finally someone who gets it!" He threw his hands up in the air dramatically. "And it didn't matter so much. The villagers all blamed it on the old goat. Haha, you could say he's been a ba-a-a-a-ad guy." He says, while doing an impression of a goat. We both cracked up at his joke, almost falling off of the couch, but regained our posture after a few minutes.

"That was a good one."

"Thanks."

Then it became silent between us.

I gazed over at Niall and he seemed to be deep in thought. He looked pretty cute with his eyes furrowed and lips pressed in a straight line. I don't want to admit it, but I've developed a liking on this blonde ghost. He just had so much spirit in him. No pun intended. And his smile and laugh, just, wow. He's like a human version of a lightbulb when he's happy. I liked that about him.

I felt bad that he had to be invisible to the world. He doesn't deserve it. His presence was meant to be shown off, not hidden away. How could anyone not like Niall?

"Hey, Liam?"

"Hmm?" I hum in response, noticing that he's snapped out of his thoughts. "What is it?"

"You remember how the prophecy said each born on different years, yet on the same exact time? Is your birthday, well, today?" I actually never thought of that.

"What's today again?"

"July 23rd."

"Oh, then yes." I nodded. Where is he going at with this?

"Happy birthday!" He suddenly greets. I chuckle at him, saying a short 'thanks' then processed what the prophecy meant in my head. "Hey, it's yours, too. Happy birthday!" I greet him, realizing that it was all four of our birthdays today.

"We should greet Harry and Louis, I bet they forgot, too."

"Yeah, that's a good idea."

We stood up from the couch in unison then made our way to Harry's room first, hands slightly bumping into each other from how close we were, but it wasn't a big deal. Except that ecstatic feeling I get whenever me and Niall make contact. But yeah, not that big of a deal.

Harry's P.O.V

I was just about to take a small nap when my door bursts open, in coming a happy Niall and Liam who threw their hands in the air then shouted, "Happy Birthday!"

Wait...it's my birthday?

I looked at the calendar that hung at the left side of my room and they were right. It really is my birthday.

"How did you guys-?"

"Remember the prophecy?"

Now that I recall and think about...oh my gosh! It's our birthday today!

"Happy birthday to you two, too!" I greet them as well.

"We need to celebrate!" Niall proclaims just as I stood up from my bed. I nodded, smiling at him in agreement. "Yeah, we should. Have you lads greeted Louis, yet?" I still felt awkward about what happened to us a while ago, and very curious. But I won't let that stop us from having a good time today.

"Nope. But we're going to. Come on, once we finish greeting each other we can start celebrating! Aahhh I can't wait for the food!" Niall gushed.

Me and Liam laugh at his excitement, just listening to him ramble about what we could do for the rest of the day, what food we'll have, what flavored cake we'll have-he just kept going on and on and on! But it didn't bother us. We just followed him to wherever he said Louis was at. And honestly, I'm very much excited.

Well??? Thoughts? Haha, I liked this chapter very much.(^～^)

If you're confused with anything relating to the story, Don't be afraid to ask me, okay? ^_^

Ooh, I can't wait to write the next chapter! It's birthday time for our boys! Yay!

Have I mentioned before that I made their birthdays July 23rd cause it's the day 1D was formed? Well, if I didn't, now you know. Haha, clever Zenpai! XD
