Louis groaned as his eyes opened from the bright light making its way through the tent. It felt as if he had hardly any sleep and that was true. Ever since hearing what Dean had told Harry the day before, he had been avoiding sleeping like the plague, too afraid that maybe he was the one behind the killings. After all, he was the one who had a dream about stabbing someone in the exact spot that Thomas had been stabbed.
He just didn't understand why or how he had done it. Louis had liked Thomas, sure the younger boy had been slightly annoying and very inexperienced with hunting but the time that Louis got to have with him before Louis was captured by Bloodmoon and made Thomas run for it really made the hunter get to know Thomas.
Louis would seriously hate himself if he was truly to blame for his demise, or anyone else's. So the hunter waited for Harry to fall asleep, cuddling into the alpha's side before staying up majority of the night or at least until he knew Harry and other's were awake so if he did try to make an exit to do anything sinister, someone could stop him which is what he had done that night, only getting about three hours sleep.
He felt stupid for even thinking it was him, he had never done this sort of thing before. Louis couldn't even understand how he would be doing such a thing, how he could even be cable of such a thing. Sure, he had killed wolves before, he had hunted numerous supernatural creatures but only when he was sure that they had killed something or someone first. To Louis' knowledge, all these victims were innocent.
"I'm going fucking crazy," Louis muttered to himself. He let his eyes scan the tent to see that Harry wasn't inside. He would be lying if he didn't admit he was somewhat thankful that Harry wasn't there at that moment. Louis was trying his hardest to keep these small things from Harry.
He hated keeping anything from the alpha, it practically made him feel sick to the stomach but he just couldn't find it in himself to tell Harry the truth. The truth about the dreams and most importantly, the truth about the deal he had made with Harry's father.
Louis groggily pushed the blankets off his body and began to get dressed, trying his shoe laces on his boots before making his way out of the tent. Most of the camp were now awake, carrying out their duties that they were given.
A lump was caught in Louis' throat when he spotted a small memorial that had been set up at the side of camp. Flowers that people had found from the forest was being laid down as a few members of the Silencers gathered to mourn the loss of young Thomas. The hunter frantically looked around to try clear his mind, swallowing down the tears that were threatening to fall.
Louis spotted the female hunter that had held them up the night that they reached the Silencer's camp, the girl who acted fearless and challenged Harry when the alpha had tried to step forward. Louis recognised her from growing up, remembering that she was in his defence classes during the years. She was currently loading up a crossbow, away from the groups of hunters close by.
"Hey..." Louis said quietly as he approached her. The girl looked up at him and raised her eyebrows in question. Louis hated to admit it but he had forgotten her name. She must have known before she let out a small laugh.
"It's Kailee," She informed, moving to stand on her feet, crossbow still in hand, Louis looked at the weapon to double check that the safety was turned on and that he wasn't about to get an arrow through his eye, "I'm sorry about the other night. Let's just say that I've been training to fight my entire life. I'm going to be finding it hard to trust some werewolves just because they brought you back but I am glad you're okay."
"Just trust me," Louis replied before sending her a small smile, "If you can't trust them, just trust me."
Louis watched as the sides of Kailee's lips twitched into a grin, "Okay, deal."
"Speaking of, have you seen the curly haired one that you almost killed that night?" Louis questioned. Kailee rolled her eyes playfully.
"Follow me, short stuff," Kailee smirked cheekily, beginning to walk the opposite direction that Louis had just come from. Louis let out a scoff at what Kailee had called him but quickly moved to catch up with her as they walked through the camp site.
"Lou!"
Both Kailee and Louis looked in the direction of the voice. Louis smiling widely when he spotted the blonde haired omega waving at the smaller boy. Louis watched Kailee try fight a smile but he knew that she probably couldn't help herself. Niall was just one of those people who could make anyone coo or be happy.
"Where are the others?" Louis wondered as the pair of hunters approached the blonde haired boy. Niall pointed to his right where Louis could see Harry and the rest, "This is Kailee, she's-"
"The person who scared the living shit out of me our first night here?" Niall inquired. Kailee coughed awkwardly before shrugging.
"Sorry about that, just a precaution," Kailee informed. Niall smiled, waving a hand at her dismissively before moving to wrap his arms around her in a tight hug. She let out a squeak at the contact, but pushed away the crossbow so that it rested behind her back and hugged the omega.
"All is forgiven!" Niall chirped before pulling away from the hug, "Let's get to the others. They're collecting all these ingredients for a spell or some shit."
Niall then turned and skipped towards the group. Kailee looked at Louis with raised eyebrows at the hyperactive omega but the smaller boy shrugged his shoulders before they followed after Niall.
Harry smiled when he watched Louis approach the group, sending Kailee a quick glare before wrapping Louis in a hug. Kailee seemed unaffected by this and just smiled at the alpha.
"We're going to do this spell and then I'm taking you somewhere," Harry stated quietly, even though he knew Liam and Niall could probably hear them. Louis cuddled into the alpha's side before pulling away to look at Harry's face.
Louis opened his mouth to speak but closed it when he spotted Sam moving towards them with a few items in his hands. Louis would be able to ask Harry later.
"We need to make sure Jade has everything so she can do the spell," Sam informed as he continued to grab all the ingredients he could remember Jade saying that she needed.
Liam and Sam for the past hour had been researching and making sure that everything was set into place. They got along great while the others were still trying to adjust to the change of dynamics. Dean wasn't exactly that keen on mingling with things he would normally hunt.
"What do we do if the spell doesn't work?" Niall wondered curiously. He had asked the questions that most of the group had been wanting to ask, well apart from Louis and Kailee because they had no fucking idea what was going on. They were all trying their hardest to think positively about the situation.
"Then we move onto plan B," Dean shrugged as he began to shuffle himself into his leather jacket to protect himself from the cold breeze. Louis raised his eyebrow questioningly.
"I thought whatever this is was plan B," Louis reminded from where he stood in between Niall and Harry. He was hoping that whatever they were planning worked because he hated constantly living in fear about the Darkness, or even being afraid of falling asleep.
"Okay, then we move into plan C, either way, we've got this," Dean shot back with a sigh. Castiel gave him a soft smile, rubbing soothingly on Dean's arm to try to calm the older Winchester's nerves.
Dean tried to put on a tough front but he was probably just as afraid about the outcome of Amara as the others. After all, it was Dean's fault that she had been released in the first place, he couldn't help but feel responsible.
"Is she coming?" Harry asked looking over at Kailee, eyeing the crossbow that she still had on her. Louis nodded before sending her a big smile.
"I'll vouch for her," Louis answered. Harry nodded and sent the huntress a smile which she returned half-heartedly. It was going to take a while to get comfortable with werewolves, especially an alpha like Harry.
The walk to where Jade was setting up for the spell wasn't long. Not many of the hunter's from the Silencers knew exactly what was going on so only Jay and a boy that Harry recognized from the raid that the hunters had forced onto his pack not long ago were standing in the room where Jade had everything set up.
"Ashton?" Louis laughed moving to wrap his arms around the boy. Harry raised his eyebrows at this, feeling his wolf practically growl at the sight of another person hugging Louis. Ashton didn't seem to want to let go of the hug, which only made Harry grow more frustrated the longer the hug lasted. It was as if the smaller boy knew this because once he pulled away from the hug, he moved to stand next to Harry, lacing their fingers together.
Harry may not understand why Ashton seemed unhappy to let go of Louis but the hunter certainly had an understanding of why. It would have something to do with the last time they saw each other.
"You've gotten yourself into a mess," His best friend from back home laughed before shaking his head, "Once again I'm here to save you."
"Please don't take me back," Louis told him.
"What? You're a prisoner, Lou," Ashton stated, confusion etched onto his face He didn't understand why Louis would want to stay any longer than he had to.
"I'm safe here. I need to stay for longer. Please. Don't let anyone know you saw me. Just get out of here. I'll come home when the time is right," Louis explained.
"I hope you know what you're doing," Ashton said. Louis nodded and smiled at his friend.
"Yeah. So do I."
"I can't believe you're back. I will never understand why you didn't come home that day..." Ashton informed, eyebrows furrowing as he recalled back to the last moment he saw his friend.
"I told you," Louis smiled weakly, "I would be home when the time was right. I didn't think it would be because of these circumstances but that's not important. We just have to stop the Darkness and worry about all that shit after."
"I'm sorry to ruin your little moment but we only have limited time for this spell. This will determine Amara's location," Jade stated, "Thank you for getting all the ingredients for me."
"No biggie, it's the least we can do," Dean replied. She was risking her life but even doing this spell or trying to come close to Amara and for that he was grateful. Jade gave him a small smile before looking over at Louis.
There was something about the expression on her face that made Louis fidget from where he was standing. It was almost like she was reading him. He was afraid that she was, that she now somehow knew about his dreams or about the deal. Louis grabbed onto Harry's hand and tugged, causing the alpha to look at him.
"How about you show me where you wanted to take me?" Louis wondered. Harry's eyebrows furrowed in confusion, looking between the others and Louis a few times.
"What about the spell?" Harry asked.
"Niall can fill us in, can't you?" Louis made eye contact with his best friend. His eyes practically begged the blonde omega to nod and say yes.
"Y-yeah, of course!" Niall stammered. Louis gave him a tight smile.
"Excellent, lets go!" Louis chimed pulling Harry with him out of the tent.
"Louis," Harry tried to call Louis out of his frantic rush to get Harry away from the tent where he was afraid Jade was about to spill all his secrets. The hunter continued to pull Harry away despite all of Harry's protests, "Louis, what are you doing?"
"Nothing," Louis shot back.
"You told me you would be honest with me," Harry reminded causing Louis to stop walking to turn and face him. The words hitting him like a tonne of bricks, "Is there something you want to tell me?"
Louis thought about it for a moment. He thought of all the consequences and outcomes that could come from telling Harry everything he knew. All Louis could visualise was Harry hating him, blaming him for numerous things that were happening. He couldn't take it.
"Just wanted to spend time with you. I can't sit in that room, I'll suffocate with all the intensity," Louis let out a small laugh. Harry narrowed his eyes at him.
"And that's the only reason?" Harry attempted to press further. Louis plastered on a smile and nodded his head at the alpha who sighed and laced their fingers together, "Okay, let's just take a little break from all the drama. I want to show you something."
Thankful that Harry dropped the subject, Louis' eyes lit up, "And what's that?"
"Follow me and you'll find out," Harry grinned cheekily. Louis rolled his eyes but followed the alpha as they began to walk hand in hand. The hunter frowned as he began to notice that Harry was taking them away from camp and more towards where the Pack was.
"What are-"
"I'm not taking you back there if that's what you were about to ask. Just give me a second and you'll see," Harry said. They were now getting further and further away from camp. If Harry was any other person, Louis probably would be worried about being murdered but he trusted Harry. Louis couldn't put his finger on what made the alpha so much different to all the werewolves he had come across in his lifetime but Harry was special.
It wasn't long before they had reached a clearing, the grass covered in pretty, colourful flowers. Harry watched with a soft smile as Louis gasped, eyes practically sparkling as he took in the scene in front of them.
"This is honestly the prettiest thing I have ever seen in the world," Louis gushed in amazement.
"I can think of something that definitely tops it."
Louis looked away from the pretty clearing to glance at Harry who was staring at him, face filled with fond. The hunter couldn't help but blush as he took in the way Harry was looking at him.
"Let's sit down, baby," Harry ushered before they both sat down onto the soft grass. Harry wrapped an arm around the hunters waist to bring him closer.
"What is this place?" Louis questioned. Harry gave him a soft smile as he looked around the clearing, rubbing a hand down Louis' back.
"Mum used to take me here as a kid whenever my father would get really horrible. She would always try her hardest to try give me some normalcy in my childhood so she would take me here to run around and play. This place has really happy memories for me," Harry admitted. Louis watched as Harry smiled, eyes scanning his surroundings.
"And you wanted to show me it?" Louis raised his eyebrows. He couldn't believe that Harry wanted to show what was obviously a very important place for the alpha.
"Like I said, this place has really happy memories for me," Harry moved his hand to cup Louis' cheek, "I want to continue that with you by my side."
"Harry-"
"Just shut up and let me kiss you," Harry commanded playfully before leaning over to press his lips to Louis'. He would never get over it. Louis would never understand how he was able to fall for Harry so deep and suddenly when they hardly knew each other. There was some unspoken bond between the two.
Pulling away from the kiss, Louis let out a giggle which only made Harry smile widely.
"Isn't it weird to think back to when you were trying to make sure I had no weapons on me?" Louis raised his eyebrow. Harry laughed at the mention of it. It seemed so long ago that they still considered each other enemies.
"Do you remember when you used to hate sharing a room with me?" Harry asked.
"I was just teasing the fuck out of you the whole time by calling you daddy and walking out of the bathroom naked," Louis confessed. Harry shook his head at the hunter.
"I knew you were doing it on purpose."
They both laughed loudly, Louis' head moving to rest on Harry's chest. It was a moment that for a while they felt perfectly content. Louis hated that there were so many things he was keeping from Harry, so many things he didn't know was going to be spilled sooner or later. Perhaps sooner than Louis was hoping for.
