"Bye Louis.."

"Goodbye love," he chirped before smiling in a very soft way at me. "I hope this didn't bother you ya know..considering yesterday.."

Yesterday? Oh. Yeah.

I looked away but quickly nodded to hide the fact I was hesitating. He'd probably think me cruel if I forgot about Zach. "Not at all. This was really nice, thank you."

"So," he started and stuffed his hands into his dark jeans, smirking at me as he stood in my doorway. "Does this mean this may happen again?"

I sighed,"We'll see,"

Oh hell yes it will.

"Oh. I get it." Louis feigned sadness and raised his hands at chest height in surrender, mock hurt on his face.

"Lou just get out of here," I snickered and made sure to avoid his hands in front of me, not pressing mine against his, and pushed on his chest so he was jostled and bounced backwards out of my doorway and into the apartment hallway.

"I had a nice time too." He nodded. His eyes became bright and sincere,"if you ever need anything Abby.." he pulled out his phone from his pocket,"give me a ring yeah?"

"Yeah..I will" I took a step forward with my nod so I was standing in the middle of the doorway.

Abby don't. Don't.

But I must.

I'm kinda glad Louis wasn't tall, I was tired of standing awkwardly on my tiptoes to give someone a kiss. I mean it was so easy for them to tell. Oh? She's standing on her tiptoes, she's gonna give me a kiss. I couldn't ever surprise Zach.

My lips tingled after rubbing against his barely shaven stubble. It was rough. Really rough. When I stepped away the smile on Louis's lips was glorious. He was concealing one of the biggest smiles by biting his lip, looking like a child standing in front of Disney World's gates.

He looked me over before saying,"See you Abby," Then turned and left. From what I saw of him walking down the hall, that smile was still on his face.

I blinked, almost dazed, then backed up back into my apartment. Soon after I shut the door, I put all my weight on it, leaning onto it on my side. Then I said what I was thinking all along.

"What the hell am I doing?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Zayn."

"Louis."

Louis arched an eyebrow,"What the hell are you doing here?"

Zayn chuckled deeply with his hands tucked into his dark skinny jean pockets,"Bless you,"

Louis bared his sharp fangs, only adding to Zayn's amusment. He stared the man down until he sighed and raked a hand through his dark hair.

"Demon's gotta eat right?"

Louis eyed him skeptically,"Eat where..exactly?"

A short laugh came from Zayn's lips, crinkling his eyes and nose. When he opened his eyes, they were the true and pure color of dark red. "Don't worry about your girl Louis..I'm not after her." Louis sneered, curling his lip like a dog. Zayn didn't sound convincing. He was the one who showed her to him. Maybe he just wanted a race, a chance to show Louis up. Like wolves sizing each other up before a fight, Zayn started circling Louis in the alleyway, talking as he went. "She's a bit too.." He paused, adding dramatic effect,"Pure. For my liking."

"The humans you've been after lately must've damaged your taste buds.." Louis retorted with a smirk.

Zayn scoffed, still circling Louis. Once in awhile he'd step out of the circle to feel the human architecture of bricks that made up the alley. "Are you saying you want me to go after her Louis?"

It took a lot out of Louis not to growl at his fellow demon,"If you even tried you'd be dead."

"Ooooh.." Zayn purred. He turned away from the wall he was leaning on and faced Louis, walking towards him. Zayn's hand raised up to Louis's face. He scowled at the contact and jerked his chin up, away from Zayn's touch. He felt his eyes drag all over his being,"Is that an Imprint I hear?"

"We haven't Imprinted yet..I need to get closer to her." Louis responded, lowering his chin and glaring at Zayn's close hand before switching to his eyes. Red met red.

Zayn chuckled again, shaking his head as he lowered his hand,"I'm not here to care about what you do here on Earth, Lou."

"Then what are you here for?" Louis pressed, watching Zayn back away and observe his dirty surroundings.

"I told you, I'm starving."

Louis sighed. He was done talking to Zayn. For some reason he just wasn't in the mood. Thank God Marsha wasn't here. He'd rip her throat out. "See you in Hell, Zayn."

"See you Louis.."

Louis stepped into the portal past Zayn where he had come out of before he could get another word out.

---------------

"Can someone tell me why the fuck Zayn was in my territory?"

"Shit, Lou. Who stuck a pike up your ass?" Harry questioned, his eyes not leaving his cards. Niall glanced over, but then quickly attended to his cards as well. Harry simply couldn't win. Again.

Louis glared at the both of them and slammed the door. Niall had jumped along with his chair, while Harry had looked completely nonchalant, flipping through his cards. The whole house shuddered at the impact.

Louis stomped past them towards the kitchen, blowing a few cards off of the card table. Harry sighed,"Have any 7's?"

Niall nervously looked over his shoulder to see if Louis was nearby. All he saw was a few bowls and pans fly into view to the other side of the room. He gulped and returned back to the game. "Go fish."

"Damn it.." Harry cursed and drew another card from the pile.

There was another loud clang, then another, and then a few crashes.

"Fuck!!"

"Have any 3's?"

Niall furrowed his brow,"Harry, it's my turn."

"Oh." Harry sat up in his chair, with a somewhat confused expression. Was it his turn? "I knew that."

"Fuck, fuck, shit, fuck, motherfuck!" Louis yelled from the kitchen, only after making a bit more ruckus.

With a loud groan, and an obvious eye roll, Harry stared boredly into the kitchen,"What's wrong Louis?" He let his cards drop out of his hands, unknowingly letting Niall be able to take a peek at them. Niall hid his face behind his own, and peeked out while Harry wasn't looking.

Harry got more clashes as answers. Least he wasn't yelling anymore. "What the hell are you doing?"

"Bless ye," Niall mumbled.

"Louis!" Harry raised his voice. It caught Niall a little off guard, making his ears turn red.

The sound of a door opening, made both Niall and Harry turn their heads to see a slim, pink haired young woman standing at the now open front door. She was dressed in torn up skinny jeans that hugged her legs, and only a bright, black bra covering her chest that had part of a large tattoo printed on. Her hair was half shaven, the color matching her lipstick, and her bright blue eyes added to her stand outish figure.

"Lucella, welcome to the party," Harry greeted. And on cue, Louis made more loud noises in the kitchen.

The girl scoffed and shut the door, her high heeled stilleto combat boots hitting the floor as she moved. "Louis?"

"Good guess." Harry said as he turned back around to the card game.

As if he heard his name, Louis stomped back out of the kitchen, same as before--angry and pissed for an unknown reason--and didn't give anyone a passing glance. Lucella took a step back from him when she saw he was coming this way, and watched as his tense body made it out of the door. He didn't slam it this time.

"Someone didn't take her pills this morning," Lucella giggled.

Harry laughed as well and continued to look through his hand of cards,"Tell me about it. He just came in, went to the kitchen, then went back out."

Lucella laughed and swayed her hips as she walked over to the card table where Niall and Harry were. She leaned over the table on Harry's left side, her breasts spilling out. But the boys didn't seem to notice. Neither did she.

The new prescence made Niall look up to see who this Lucella was. He'd only seen her on a few occasions.

She greeted Niall with a wink before looking down at Harry,"Whatchya playin?"

"Go fish." Harry replied, biting his bottom lip in thought.

"Have any 2's?" Niall meekly asked.

Harry responded with a sad shake of the head. The girl beside him groaned and hit the back of his head, plucking up a pair of 2's from Harry's hand, and sliding them to Niall. "Cheat." She spat playfully.

"Nah, just a bad liar." Harry winked at her before getting his cards situated again.

"Whatever. I'm hungry. Got any eats?" Lucella ignored the demon with a bun on his head and leaned off of the table to start walking towards the kitchen. Her heels clopped along with every stepped.

"Some cake in the fridge I think!" Niall said as she got further and further away, scanning his cards as well.

"Thanks sweetie!"

The compliment made Niall smile innocently, like the child he was.

"Oh, and Harry.." Lucella stuck her head through the kitchen archway, looking directly at Harry who didn't return the look, but she knew he was listening. He was smirking in fact. He knew what she was mentioning.

"Take it easy on the poor boy, those hickies are enormous."

Niall just about choked on his spit. His blue eyes widened after coughing, and all of a sudden he felt very self conscious. He didn't dare touch the love bites that stuck out of his sweater on his neck. Pretending to not, hear, he placed the cards right in front of his face, trying to hide the blushing.

Harry chuckled and smirked at the boy, touching his leg with his foot from under the table to get his attention. Once he did, he winked at him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Louis was going mad. He had to be. What the fuck was wrong with him? Why was he acting like this? And why was he going to do what he was about to do? He felt guilty, he really did. But he didn't know better. He knew of no other way to deal with this.

He took a small, shaky breath as he knocked on Marsha's door.

In the span of a few seconds, the blonde answered, clad in a towel.

Great. Louis thought.

She grinned from ear to ear at the sight of Louis, especially now. She crossed her bare legs and shifted her weight, leaning seductively on the door way. "Well, well..Louis my dear..what can I do for you?"

Louis could feel his eye sight reddening. This needed to go away, now. "I think you know Marsh."

Her tongue flickered across her lips as slow and sexily as she could. It didn't affect Louis much, but it was enough to make him want to hurry. "You could tell me.." She leaned off the doorway, then touched Louis's chest. He watched her grab on his tanktop, pulling him inside like the siren she was.

When they were both inside, he shut the door behind him and let Marsha kiss him. He grabbed the towel that was barely hanging onto her body and kissed back.

Abby.

He pushed her small body onto the couch and stared down at her. She was acting so damn coy Louis almost walked out right then. He couldn't.

But he did.

"Get that ass of yours in the bedroom. I'll be there in 30 seconds."
