Chapter 26 Something's Wrong

Niall's Pov

A week had passed then quickly after Harry told us what had happened with Matthew and we were left in a state of anger and sadness. Ever since he showed us the faint blue handprint that was engraved in his skin, we really didn't know how to react. We didn't know what to do but wait.

Me and the lads have been training since because the villains haven't showed their face since the first time at the bank.

It didn't seem like Harry was feeling any better either.

He says that he's starting to feel the same but me, the lads and the others all knew that was bull. Louis is beyond worried for him because Harry hasn't told him anything since that morning.

Since that morning, I could tell things were tense between them. But I knew that Harry realized that he loved Louis. I saw it burn in his eyes and I thought that it would make their relationship stronger even if Louis didn't know yet.

But since then, Harry seemed to get worse. His skin was so pale, drained of color and he was constantly tired.

I panted, wiping the sweat off my face as Louis shot fire at me. I deflected the flame with a zap of lightening, making it explode.

"Where's Harry?" I breathed, dodging as Zayn launches a metal orb at me while Liam throws condensed air balls at them both. We were training against each other, deeming it better if we had multiple opponents.

So that's where we were in the training arena where Neil, John and Sébastien watched us. Layla, Eleanor and James were all in the lab researching through his families journals to figure out what could be the problem with Harry.

Louis sighed heavily through his nose. "Asleep."

"You're really worried about him, huh?" Liam grunted, dodging a fireball from Louis and a zap of my lightening.

"I mean, we all are," Zayn breathed, metal balls floating around him as he dodged one of my currents and a slash of wind from Liam.

Louis stopped suddenly with a heavy sigh and we stopped quickly after. Zayn dropped the metal objects as Liam floated back to the ground while my lightening died.

Louis rubbed at his face and moved towards the door. "I'm done for today, lads."

Me and Ziam shared a look and followed behind him wordlessly, meeting Neil, John and Sébastien.

"Great practice, today, boys," Neil nodded. We muttered our thanks as John agreed. Sébastien stood quietly off to the side, eyes flickering among all of us and to say it was weird was an understatement. But I tried to ignore him and the bit of anxiety that sparked.

"You're going to check up on Harry?" I turned to Louis.

He answered with a nod. "Yeah."

"Has James, Eleanor or Layla come to you with anything about what could have happening with Harry?" Zayn asked suddenly, eyes on the three men in front of us. They shared a look before John looked away with a heavy sigh.

"There's nothing yet," John started. "They're to find the start of the prophecy when the Child of Light was first effected by the curse. But so far, its dead ends."

"So far, yes," A new voice joins us; Layla who had tired eyes. "There isn't much on the prophecy or about the hero who was first cursed with it. But we did find out that the Child of Light had the same handprint, somewhere on their body, very similar to what Harry showed us."

I furrowed my brows. "So the handprint, it could be the link to the curse...sort of the start of it, maybe?"

"Exactly, we think its the origin of it but we don't know how Matthew got it on Harry when Ashes is the one who controls the curse," Layla shook her head with crossed arms.
