The Claim

Chapter 44

************************************

Emily's P.O.V

"You died." Rose admits.

"I-I did? I thought I j-just passed out." I remember only the frightenening image of Martins face. And everything went black.

"Yeah. If it wasn't for Jesy we both wouldn't be here." Rose looks down at her crossed legs.

"It made me so mad." Jesy says with a angry tone. Her eyes turn a shade of red as she stands up and pulls the blanket I was wrapped up in,Causing me to unravel out of it and hit the ground.

"Oops." Jesy chuckles.

"You suck." I chuckle as I sit up lazily.

"Not for free."

"You sicko."

We all laugh together.

"Lets get back on topic now." I calm down and get serious.

"I don't think it's possible to get back on topic." Kate giggles looking behind me.

I turn to look at her direction and see that Jesy was dancing behind me.

She stops right away as I lay my eyes on her.

"Ah forget it. We both died and it was scary." Rose says and stands up just like Kate.

"We'll I have to go me and Niall have a date." Kate winks as she leaves the room.

"Bye." We all say at the same time.

"Speaking of dates. I'm going out to the movies with Mason. We both want to see the movie The Getaway." Jesy adds on.

"Thanks Jesy." I say as I give her a hug.

"Thank you also." Rose says and joins the hug.

Jesy is the reason I'm alive. She's lucky to have such a power. I mean I can only freeze time. Well that's all I know of right now.

"You know I would do anything for you guys." Jesy smiles, before leaving.

"So let me guess you have a date too?" I laugh looking back at Rose.

"No, not actually. I'm not dating no one. I been a worker for Carter and his damn people or whatever. I never really got the chance."

"Oh, I feel you. I saw Harry with another girl. So I really don't know if we're together now." I say softly as the same image repeats in my head.

"Nope. Your all wrong. That's what we forgot to tell you. Jenny has the same power as Harry. So I'm guessing you know what his power is already."

"Yeah,he did the same thing to me then." I understand that Jenny may have had the same power but it still bothers me that Harry had his lips on someone else's. I guess I'll let it slide

"You should probably talk to Harry. Not that I don't want to talk to you. But Harry is probably upset because he still thinks this is all because of him." Rose says.

"Yeah that's a good idea."

"I'll go get him."

"No it's fine. I can myself."

"Ok. Whatever suits you. I think he's in his room." Rose points down the hall.

I nod and walk down that way as Rose walks the opposite way.

Here goes nothing.


Harrys P.O.V

I sit on my bed scrolling through my phone. Yeah I actually got a phone to prove more my humanity to others , Since lately the newspapers have been talking about a midnight monster.
Which is probably referring to Emily and how she killed that guy.

"Harry?" A soft voice comes from the entrance of the door.

It's Emily. I been waiting for her.

I stand up from my bed right away and embrace her in my arms.

"I'm so sorry,I can explai-" she cuts me off.

"I know everything already. It's not your fault. I'm happy to be where I am." She hushes me.

"How do you know about it? Jenny? And-"

"Its fine." She looks up at me.

"I don't regret anything. And you shouldn't either."

"I love you." She says as she puts her arms around my neck.

"I love you too." I lean in to kiss her as my hands snake around her waist.

She pulls away and we take a momment to breathe a bit, I gaze into her eyes and they begin to turn yellow.

"I'm hungry, lets go-"

"No there is blood bags downstairs. No more hunting, people are catching onto us." I state.

"But please. Just once." She whines

"I said no."

"Harry. Please." She bats her eye lashes.

"Nope."

"Please,please please."

"Fine just so you can hush up."I give in.

"Yes! I won't hurt anyone incident. I have great senses on picking criminals I think that's another good power I contain." She says happily.

"We'll what are we waiting for let's go."


"No seductive shit okay?"

She nods and we walk downstairs.

"We're leaving." Is all I say before I drag Emily out the door.

"Where do we go? It's pretty bright out for anyone not noticing."

"I smell something. Someone." She breathes in deeply.

"Be right back. I won't cause trouble." Is all she says before she speeds off.

I guess I'll just wait here.

I lean on a light pole and wait patiently. My feet lay out as far as they can and I relax.

"Excuse me sir." A women pushes past people. She reaches my feet and trips over them.

It's the same girl that I tripped last time. It's Lauren. I knew I recognized her last time.

"You again." She chuckles.

"This keeps occurring doesn't it." I fake smile.
If Emily comes back and Lauren sees her ill be busted.

"Yeah. My husband is going to meet me here at this light pole. It's weird that your here." She smiles as she sets down her bags by me.

"Oh, we'll I should really get going." I turn around and I'm already to late.

"Back." Emily says as she rubs the blood around her mouth on her sleeve.

"Lets go." I say quickly but Lauren already spots her.

"Emily?!" She screams.

Fuck.

I grab Emily and speed as fast as I ever did and burst through the front door.

"Lauren is in New York?!" Emily yells as soon as we stop running.

"Lauren?" Liam buds in the conversation as Becca comes from behind him.

"Yes Lauren! She's getting onto us! I don't want you seeing her ever again." I yell directly at Emily. Her features soften and I know I might've hurt her a bit.

"She's my sister Harry."

"Yeah,yeah I know." I sigh. Maybe I can let her talk to her. Well if we ever run into her again then maybe I can. Ugh I don't know.

"So besides all this Lauren stuff. There is this party tonight." Becca starts talking.

I'm still not fond of her. Just like Zayn. I really don't understand how they are in the same house as me. They both put my Emily in dangerous shit.

"And how do you know about this?" Liam causes his attention to her.

"We'll Zayn told me. For some reason he called me and said him and Perrie were going and to bring you guys along. I guess that red head and um Mason I think are going too after there movie."

"Sounds fun. We should go." Emily tugs on my arm. Putting that whole Lauren deal to the side.

"Yeah ok." I smile.
Emily just better not get lost. I know she's a grown vampire but people are always on her tail and it bothers me.

"Ok. Me and Liam will go too." Becca smiles looking up at Liam. His face brightens as he pokes her side causing her to laugh.

"We'll let's go invite Rose or something c'mon." I grab Emily's wrist and pull her upstairs.

"The party is at 8 I think." I say.

"Pick something sexy."

"Oh, so you want people's eyes on me. Ok then." She smirks.

"No. Only me." I stiffen. She's mine. No one else's.


Lauren's P.O.V

"John! I saw her!" I can't believe right before my eyes I seen my little sister who has been missing since forever.

"Who?" He asks as he comes with shopping bags.

"Emily!" I squeal.

"Lauren don't start." He sets his bags down and steps closer to me.

"Emily is dead."

"She was real. She was with that guy I bumped into last night. With the curly hair. And evil look. It was her!" I start to raise my voice which causes attention.

John doesn't say anything but to embrace me in a hug.

"I saw her." I mumble against his chest.

"You were probably imagining it. Lets get you home. You need rest."

Was I imagining it? Am I going crazy over this long absence of Emily?

"Now you will get some sleep. And my friend Jimmy invited me to this new club he just opened. The grand opening is at 8 but we can leave around 7:30 ok?" A party. Great. The last time I went to a party was my wedding. And that was also when Emily disappeared.

We arrive at the hotel and I hop in bed right away, setting my alarm to 6pm. Within minutes I drift off in slumber.

Emily's P.O.V

"I don't know what to wear." I whine to Rose and Harry who are already ready for the party.

Harry is wearing a white shirt with a blazer and his hair pushed to the side.
He looks handsome as ever. And Rose is wearing a red dress that is up to mid thigh with her hair in a bun with a red bow to go with it.

"You have all those clothes I gave you." Harry suggests.

"Yeah there nice but there is nothing I'm looking forward to wearing right now."

"I'll call Jesy to ask her where she put that dress I saw the other day on the closet floor." Rose says as she pulls out her phone and walks out the hall.

I look at the clock and its already 6. I got time but I like to be ready early.

"She said Becca took them..."

"Bitch." Harry cuts her off.

"And that she washed them..." Rose continues her sentence.

Harry rolls his eyes and looks at his phone.

"Let me go ask Becca." I walk down the hall but before I almost turn the corner I see Becca.

"I heard my name." She says.

"Yeah, where did you put the dresses?" I ask a bit inpatient.

"You mean this dress?" She pulls it out from behind her.

"Yes! Yeah that one." I try to hide my excitement and relief of finding it.

"I figured. Here you go." And with that she walks back down the stairs.

I slip on the dress in the bathroom and dig through the cabinets to find my curler.

Curling my hair and adding smokey make up around my eyes is the final touch.

"There I look fine I guess." I mutter to myself.

My dress is black and white lace. With a black stripe near the waist. It suits my curves perfectly.

My bare feet pad down the hall to where I see Harry sitting on my bed.

"Damn. You look amazing." Harry chuckles as he rakes my body with his eyes up and down.

I ignore his reaction and look at the clock it's already 730. It took long to curl my hair so that must've made time go by.

I slip on some black heels and make my way down the stairs.

"Keep your humanity on. Remember we're going to be in a club full of humans." Harry mumbles as he follows from behind me.

"Yeah I know. I thought this was a party?" I ask.

"No it's a club."

"Oh great." I'm not good with clubs. I always end up drinking to much and getting out of control. You can even ask Jesy. I would come home wasted.

Speaking of Jesy.

"Where's Jesy?" I question.

"She's going to go a bit later." Harry mumbles as he eats a strawberry off the counter.

"We'll let's go to this club." I smile as I go out the door and into the car.
