It took me a good few seconds to realize that Harry's lips were on mine.

My body was frozen in shock and first thing that came to mind was how warm his lips were compared to Zayn's. The moment I thought of Zayn I came to my senses and pushed Harry away. I'd only ever kissed Zayn before and oddly enough it felt like I was cheating on him even though we weren't even a couple and some part of me still hated his guts. 

Harry took a step back and stared at me with a mixture of sadness and surprise plastered across his face and I instinctively felt guilty. Here he was pouring his heart out to me after finding out about his father and all I could think about was Zayn. 

There was seriously something wrong with me. 

I shifted on my feet wondering what I could say to make him feel better after rejecting him like that. I couldn't believe Harry just admitted that he loved me. After everything I've put him through and all the trouble I've caused him. If I was Harry I would have lost patience with myself months ago. He was the angel I never knew I needed but the problem was I couldn't give him what he wanted and it made me feel so useless. 

I grabbed Harry's retreating hands and held them in my own. 

"Harry, I'm always going to be there for you. I love you too. I would do anything for you. I just can't love you the way you need me too," I looked into his eyes and told him the truth. My chest constricted when I saw his jaw slacken and shoulders slump in rejection. In that moment I felt like I was abandoning him as well.

"Not right now," I added quickly hoping I could save what we had between us but Harry let go of my hands and stepped back defensively. 

"It's fine. I get it. You're in love with someone else," He countered angrily and my mouth fell open in shock. "I guess I should have known all along."

"It's not that--," I put my hands up defensively but Harry cut me off. 

"Tell me you don't have feelings for Zayn," Harry asked, his green eyes narrowing on my twisting fingers. 

"Harry, I.." I stuttered tiredly. "It's not important who I like right now. What's important is your father and getting him away from the council."

Harry just stared at me in shock and then he walked in a circle as he ran his hands through his red hair. 

"I can't believe it. You do love him. Rosalie, this guy literally tortured you. He put you in a mental asylum and now all his buddies are trying to kill us because of him and you love him?" Harry's eyes were so wide with disbelief they looked like they were going to pop out of his head. "What is wrong with you?"

His question felt like a punch to my gut and I stumbled back against the hard wood of cargo behind me. 

How could I respond when I didn't know the answer to that question myself. 

"Am I interrupting something?"

Both Harry and I turned to our left to see Zayn leaning by the wall watching us. 

"Zayn," I breathed out in shock and stood up straight like a student who had been caught doing something she wasn't supposed to do. 

"No, clearly it was I who was interrupting all along," Harry glared at him and then he walked away leaving the two of us together. 

Zayn's eyes narrowed on his retreating form and then he turned back to me. 

"I swear if it wasn't for you I would have ripped his head off a long time ago," His hands bunched into fists and then his eyes softened when he looked at the tears pooled at the corners of mine. "Are you, okay?"

"No, I'm not okay. I don't want to talk about it," I snapped at him as I quickly wiped my eyes with my sleeves feeling like the most horrible and stupid person on the planet. 

"We don't have to talk about anything you don't want to," He said as he took a step towards me. "Have you eaten?"

I nodded my head and forced myself not to crash into his chest and wrap my arms around him. His proximity was making it very difficult. 

Before I ended up doing something I knew I would regret I quickly side stepped him before he could come any closer and walked back to the cock pit where Kayla and the rest were. 

Harry wasn't there when I walked in and a small rush of relief ran through me knowing I wouldn't have to deal with him at the moment. 

I just wanted to avoid both of them for as long as I could. 

I sat down and watched Kayla and Lauren draw circles and markings over the floor plan of the campus where Harry's father stayed. They were mapping out all the exit points into the building and around the campus. 

"Have you eaten enough? I was thinking we could train you and Harry just in case. We don't expect the two of you to get involved but there's no harm learning some basic self defense moves you could use on an unsuspecting vampire," Kayla suddenly spoke up breaking me from my dream like state. 

"There are moves we can use against vampires?" I asked her skeptically to which she nodded.

"Yes, we have a few weak points only we know about," She smiled at me cheekily as she got up.

"Okay," I just shrugged half-heartedly. Anything to distract myself from what just happened.

I followed Lauren and Kayla out of the cock pit and to my dismay I saw Arlo, Niall, Zayn and Harry standing around the hangar. Arlo and Niall began setting up small card board cut outs against the wall on our left and then Arlo drew large stick figures on them. 

I glanced briefly at Zayn and Harry who were standing as far away from each other as possible. Both of them looked my way as I approached the group and if we weren't high up in the sky I would have dug up a hole in the ground and jumped into it.

"We've got a rough over view of what we will have to do in order to rescue Harry's father. We don't expect you two to get involved since we are dealing with vampires," Kayla nodded her head my way and then to Harry and we both nodded back in understanding. "But just in case we will teach you how to defend yourselves. To be honest there isn't much you can do against a vampire but if they underestimate you, which they will these moves might help."

I followed her silently keeping as close to her as I could and as far away from Zayn and Harry. She demonstrated a few moves with Arlo and then she split us up into pairs to practice with each other. 

I grabbed her arm before she could pair me up with anyone else and insisted that I wanted to train with her, earning a knowing look from Zayn. 

It was annoying how he could read me like a book. 

"Okay, I'll just show you our weak points. You'll need sharp silver to cause any harm but if you are able to cut these parts they will do the most harm," Kayla told me and then she showed me a spot right above her clavicles, underneath her arms and inner thighs. We practiced a few moves but I could feel four pairs of eyes frequently on me, it made it hard to concentrate. 

Once Kayla was satisfied with my accuracy we proceeded to the card board cut out's Arlo and Niall had prepared. Unaware of what had happened between Harry, Zayn and I, Kayla lead me straight to Zayn and showed me how to throw a few pocket knives they'd managed to find on the plane for us to practice with.

I could feel Harry's eyes narrow our way before he turned back to his target and threw the pocket knife at the drawn out stick man. It flew through the air like lightning and lodged itself right into the figure's throat.

I gulped in response. Who knew he was such a natural at this?

"It's always best to hit a vampires weak point before they can reach you. Good job, Harry," Kayla looked at his target and smiled at him.

Focusing on my own target, my grip tightened around the hilt of the blade and I aimed at the spot above the clavicle like Kayla had taught me. It flew into the air and then dropped on the floor a foot in front of the card board cut out.

Zayn jogged up to my target and picked up the knife. 

"It's not that bad for a first attempt," He said when he caught my gloomy expression. 

"It's terrible," I muttered and he smiled at me lovingly causing my cheeks to burn.

"You're not standing right. That's why your aim is off," He said and then he turned my hips slightly. 

He stood behind me and guided my hand with his making me arch my back slightly. I held my hand up in the air and with his guidance threw the pocket knife at the target and this time it hit the spot near the clavicle before falling down.

"See," He whispered in satisfaction and my knees nearly buckled over when I realized how close he was. 

I stumbled forward awkwardly and went forward to pick up the knife. 

"Umm, thanks," I replied as I walked back to my spot. After a few more tries I began to get better and my confidence grew slightly.

"Good job," Kayla walked up to us and crossed her arms over each other. "Let's gather around for a quick briefing about our plan for tomorrow."

All of us sat down in a small circle as Lauren laid out the floor plans they had collected earlier in front of us.

Kayla pointed to an exit point at the back of the medical faculty building and then one on its right side that lead to the campus park. 

"According to his schedule, Dr. Edward has a twenty minute break between both of his lectures tomorrow. We are going to monitor his movements and the agents watching him during these breaks and before and after his shifts. His living quarter's are heavily guarded and bugged so that is out of the question. We need to find the time frame where his security is the least and determine the best way to get him. I'm guessing these twenty minutes are going to be the best chance we have."

She paused and looked up at all of us who were listening intently. 

"Lauren will monitor the cameras and Niall will scout the area under disguise tomorrow. On the day of the operation Niall and Arlo will be in charge of the rescue. Zayn and I will go in as back up. Lauren will be our eyes and ears from the safe house as well as keep an eye on you two," Kayla looked at Harry and I.  

"You expect us to just wait there like sitting ducks? Can't we do anything to help?" Harry asked.

"I'm sorry but a human's involvement will be more of a liability and might compromise the mission. It's too risky to involve you both especially since you're the ones their actually after. No offense," Kayla replied seriously. 

"None taken," I replied. It made sense. We were both mush slower and weaker than even the weakest vampire and we were dealing with trained agents here. "But what if something happens to you?"

"If we take more than an hour I want you to take them and fly to Tasmania immediately," Kayla instructed Lauren and my eyes widened at her words.

I snuck a glance at Zayn, suddenly feeling worried for him. He nodded in understanding and then his eyes found mine and he gave me a reassuring smile. I didn't like that smile and I definitely didn't like the feeling of foreboding growing in my gut.
