Chapter 28 Out Of Control

Louis's Pov

Ice exploded from his palm, hitting the glass and shattering it immediately. We all flew back to avoid the glass, artic air rushing towards us. I flared my fire up, battling the wind and frost Harry was aiming at us.

I felt wind from our side and I knew Liam was trying to use his own wind to battle Harry's. As the dust faded, Harry stepped over the hole where the glass pane used to be. His face was set in a dark grin as he stood tall all the while running a grey hand through his hair.

The action hit me hard because it seemed like an everyday habit Harry does. But this certainly wasn't Harry.

"That feels better," He hummed, taking another step, hands playing at his sides.

"Harry, this isn't you," I said lowly, fire dancing around my body in thin wisps.

He shrugged. "I like this. I'm not weak anymore."

He took a lunging step forward and icicles shot up from the ground directly towards us. With a slash of my arm, my fire sliced through the icicles, burning them up and melting them.

Liam, Zayn and Niall all surrounded me and the others, who crowded the back of the infirmary, were out of Harry's sight and attention.

"Who said you were weak, Harry?" Zayn asked from beside me. He cut an icy glare at him.

"All of you think it. With your powers, so all mighty," Harry grit his teeth in anger. "I'm done. This feels good. I rather have it by my side than any of you anymore."

He flung his arms forward in a power swiping motion, ice and frost following him as he aimed it forward towards us. Ice and frost were like shards as he threw it all at us.

I knelt, hands on the ground to push my flames up. A wall of fire burst and shot up just in time to block the quick ice.

"Shit, this isn't him at all. Its like something is controlling him but he's still himself," Liam breathed.

"I know," I grit my teeth. "He's strong but we got to stop him. He's out of control."

"Even if that means..." Niall trailed, voice going small.

"If we have to hurt him, then yes. But not unless it is necessary. It might even bring him back. Who knows? But we can't let him hurt himself or any of us," I explained, determination in my voice. "He has to know deep down that we're his friends, that he wouldn't just hurt us. But it also depends how much he gave in."

"Gave into the thing that's causing him to act like this?" Liam asked and I nodded. "But Harry wouldn't just do that."

I grunted. "Depends on what the type of temptation is being handed to him. We don't know."

"Thats true," Zayn murmured. "Bring the wall down. We got to fight. The sooner we try to bring him back, the sooner we can somehow figure out what this is."

I couldn't see their faces but from behind me I knew that they didn't want to do this. Neither did I. Its hurts me to know I have to hurt Harry if he got even more out of control but I reminded myself that this wasn't Harry.

"Ok, lads, get ready," I breathed.

"Go ahead," Liam called and I did. I leaped back, fire flaring. When my hands came up from the ground, the wall of flames died down to smoke. Ice exploded immediately.

Liam lurched forward, arms waving and wind whirling. His wind deflected the ice and frost, making the particles disappear into dust floating in the air. He lifted his arm and a slash of air was hurled at Harry.
