Chapter 12 Adjusting

Harry's pov

They knew. I knew they did. I didn't say anything during the conversation when the lads, Eleanor and James spoke. I could see their glances, feel their eyes on me, out of the corner of my eye. They knew I wasn't one to speak out, show what I was feeling until I broke or snapped but I really didn't know how to feel.

Really, the thought of the prophecy and its certain bad end didn't bother me and that's what did. I should be scared of death and I am but its like now I'm faced with a possibility of it and I feel nothing.

I did listen to the conversation and took notes but again didn't put any input. When Eleanor mentioned going back to our flat and grabbing some things I jumped at the chance.

As she opened her mouth to speak, I cut her before she could.

"Can we?" I mentally grimaced at the sound of my voice; sharp and tense. I felt all of their eyes on me as I spoke for the first time since we sat down.

"Sorry, what?" James put in.

"Go to our flat," I turned to him with a blank face. "Grab a few things, like Eleanor suggested. Unless we're not done here."

I didn't mean to sound rude but when your thoughts have been swirling around in your brain, its kinda hard to act normal and polite.

"Of course! When you lads get back, we'll get you all settled and talk some more, if thats alright with you all?" James waved to the others, seemingly unbothered by my emotionless tone. I didn't glance at them as I gave a nod of my own, the others muttering their agreements.

"Good," James stood up with a small smile. "Then you all should get going. Eleanor can show you to the door."

"Thank you," Liam said, his chair squeaking across the floor, the lads following in suit with Eleanor as well. I sat up last, pushing the chair back in. I used my long legs to my advantage and walked on ahead to the others and out of the kitchen to meet the living room. I walked out into it and turned, finding the opening that led to the stairs and the front door immediately.

Without waiting for the others, I walked out the door since it was unlocked. I moved towards the garage door and leaned up against it, looking up towards the cloudy sky with a deep breath.

I just don't know what to do. I know the lads will be worried and ask questions but I don't think I have answers. They know I can hide away but this isn't exactly the same. They just don't understand and I don't think I could make them understand.

The door opened, breaking my thoughts like glass, Eleanor walking out. The lads poked out from behind her and Zayn and Liam went over to his motorcycle.

"Alright. We'll go and get back. Make sure to tell your families that you'll be on a vacation or something. Don't tell them about the wisps, heroes and villains thing. After that we'll get you set up and I think James wants to see your powers more," Eleanor smirked, turning on her heel with a slap of her ponytail behind her.

"Why can't we tell our families?" Louis stepped closer beside me.

Eleanor turned to him with sympathetic eyes. "Because if they knew any hint or bit about this, the villains use to their advantage. I'm sorry but you just can't. We can't let you guys risk any of your families."

The lads nodded and I stayed put with a small sigh. I really wanted to tell my mum. Maybe she could help me feel something, give me anything to help me. Something that the lads can't do themselves.

Zayn's Pov

I agreed with Eleanor. I don't want my family in this or any of the other lads. We need to keep this away from them to make sure they’re safe. Though, I know how much it hurt for Louis not being able to tell his. He is so close to his family and he loves them to bits. Even when he talks about them, you can see the glint of admiration in his eyes.
