"Alone. Yes, that's the key word, the most awful word in the English tongue. Murder doesn't hold a candle to it and hell is only a poor synonym."

"Niall's my mate...." Kirsten repeated but softer this time.

"W-what?!" Camille yelled/whispered. "Are you freakin' sure?"
Erin had finished the glass of blood and immediately calms and her eyes closes. Elizabeth stood up, "What?"
Kirsten looks at Niall in the eyes. His blue ones were darker than before but she knew they were the same. Everytime she looks at his magnificent eyes now, she feels her heart thumping a but faster than before, butterflies in her stomach and a feeling of belonging to the person. And yes, Vampires do have heartbeats but they're very slow. The heartbeat is just to pump the venom and blood that is drunk from a human, of course do that it would heal all injuries. That's why vampires are fast healers.

The boys had confused faces, not sure what to say.

"Yes, I'm sure." Kirsten said.

"We all know that can happen..." Della says, "Well, excluding the boys."

"But it has happened, and I fell more attached to Niall than ever."

"W-what's happening?" Niall asks, he finally speaks. "I feel so-"

"Protective of her?" Elizabeth asks. "Yeah, that's how every male vampire feels when they've seen their mate, they won't want them to be out of their sights and such."

"But that can't be. Kirsten is a princess. Niall is not royal blooded or whatsoever." Della says.

"Princess? Royal? What are you guys talking about?" Liam asks, he was confused, well the four boys were extremely confused and a bit shocked.

"Well, Kirsten here, is the princess of the The Third Kingdom. She's a royal because she's was born to royal parents, obviously. Royals are pure bloods." Camille says.

"Y-you mean, Vampires can make babies?" Harry asks. Typical Harry. Camille playfully hits Harry at his head. "Yes, now Shut up."

"So what's the big deal? Niall's her mate, so what?" Louis asks. Zayn, Liam and Harry gave the girls curious faces.

"Royals can only be mated to other Royals." Kirsten said. The boys seemed to get it.

"So that means, Niall is a Royal?"

Kirsten frowned, "I don't know. It's either that or I am adopted."

"That's BS! We all know you're a real princess." Elizabeth said. Camille carried Erin to the bed and sat.
"She'll probably wake up in half an hour or more."
Zayn sighed in relief, "S-so my girlfriend too is a v-vampire?"

Elizabeth nodded.

"Awesome!" Zayn shouted. The boys laughed. Della frowned, why couldn't Liam at least be like that? She thought.

Liam looks at Della with guilt. He slowly walks to Della and takes her hand, leads her to the streets.

"I'm sorry." Liam says.

"I'm sorry too, for not telling you." Della says.

"I am so SO sorry for calling you a freak. I just freaked out and thought you were the only...uhmm... You know."

Della turns to Liam and hugged Liam,"It's alright. You're forgiven. I love you, I won't hurt you."

"I love you too." Liam smiles.

"I'm a good witch!" Della laughs."And I love you more."

Della wraps her arms around Liam's neck and tip-toes to kiss him passionately.

Meanwhile, Kirsten and Niall were at the Kitchen. Talking. Well, not really. No one was saying a thing.

"How do you feel?" Kirsten asks.

"I'm fine." Kirsten opens the cupboard and takes out a bottle of pills. She grabs two cups and put a pill each. Then pouring water and watches it as it turns blood red. Niall was immediately beside her.
"Well, someone's thirsty." Niall smiles. Gosh, he's only been missing for a day and Kirsten had already missed his smile. She handed him his cup and and after five seconds, Niall had already put down his cup. It was finished.

"Slow down, Niall. I guess I have to teach you how to control yourself." Kirsten says, taking a sip from her drink. Niall was eyeing it. Kirsten sighed and handed him hers.

"Thanks." Kirsten washed the cups and turned to Niall.

"Do you remember anything now, Cute Little Leprachaun?"

"I don't think I'm little anymore..." Niall grins. Kirsten nodded, aggreeing.
Ever since the transformation, Niall had grown from 5'7 to 5'9 and was as tall as Louis.

"But you're still cute and my leprachaun."

"So, I'm going to be your 'Cute Vampire Leprachaun' ?" Niall grins.

"I like the sound of that." Kirsten smiles. Niall holds Kirsten's hand and felt really warm. "I like your hands."

Kirsten gives him a weird look and laughs. Knowing how Kirsten thinks, Niall realizing what he just said blushes. "I didn't mean it like that!"

Kirsten just laughs and pinches Niall's cheeks. "So cute! I know, I know. Was teasing you! I don't plan on giving you a BJ soon."

"Yuck!" Someone squealed. They turned to the door to see Erin smirking.

"Erin!"

"I'm fine. A bit thirsty."

Kirsten makes her a blood drink and hands it to Erin. Just like Niall, she finishes it within five seconds and puts the cup down.

"Why were you talking bout' BJs?" Erin laughs.

"Because, Niall here told me he likes my hands."

"Nothing wrong! You're just dirty minded!" Niall defends Himself. Kirsten and Erin just laughs.

"Have you guys se-"

"Zayn!" Erin squeals, jumping on Zayn. "Uh-oh..." Kirsten mutters.

When Erin lands on Zayn, Both of them fell on the ground, Zayn was at the bottom.

"Fuck!" Zayn cusses. "Ouch! Erin, you're so heavy!"

Kirsten laughs.

"I am so sorry Zayn!" She says but laughs anyways.

Niall helped Zayn up and laughs.

"No joke! She was heavy!"

"Guys," Camille comes in with Harry.

"What happened?" Kirsten asks.

"I told your parents... They want to meet Niall."
