Chapter 29 Gone

Zayn's Pov

"He's gone."

At Liam's words, my first reaction was to look at Louis. He held his neck, eyes no longer burning. His breaths were wheezes and I could make out the faint bruises that were starting to form on his neck.

His normally bright ocean blue eyes were grey and dull.

"Louis, are you alright?" Eleanor called as the others all jogged over. He looked up at her, still holding his neck. He didn't say anything and looked away, breathing still very ragged.

"Louis, we need to check your neck. Harry seemed to squeeze it too hard. I want to make sure nothing was damaged too badly," Neil started towards him but Louis snapped up, his eyes simmering slowly, stopping him.

"I don't care," I winced at the sound his voice, almost like it was being strangled out of him. He stood slowly, rubbing his neck. His eyes were burning now and he radiated heat.

"Where's Sébastien?" Even though his voice was strangled, everyone froze at the dark tone he held. I looked around, everyone doing the same and we realized that Sébastien was gone too.

"Shit," Liam cursed. All of our heads snapped back to Louis. His eyes were on the ground and his chest was rising quickly.

"Louis, calm down. We'll find him," Niall muttered. Louis burst into flames that flew around his body. We all stumbled back, startled. His eyes were burning brighter then I've ever seen them. They were filled to the brim with rage.

"I fucking knew it," he growled.

"What?" Neil breathed. Him, John and Layla all glanced at James who had surprised, hurt eyes.

"But he wouldn't do that? He was a good friend of mine...I never imagined him doing something like this," He stuttered a bit and Neil, John and Layla all nodded, agreeing to James's words.

"He has been acting weird though, lately," Niall muttered, crossing his arms. I glanced Louis who's eyes had softened a bit but were still cold. His flames died into smoke around him and his burning eyes returned to the grey they were.

I can't imagine how he feels right now. I couldn't imagine being away from Liam when we first started to date, when we first found out we had love each other. Louis and Harry had been together close to month but Louis has loved Harry for so long.

Now he knows that Harry might love him back because Niall had asked Harry that in front of him to try to bring him back.

"Whats the plan now? We have no idea where he could have gone," Liam crossed his arms, face pale with worried eyes. I glanced at him and moved closer to his side so I could take his hand.

He gave it to me willingly and squeezed it gently for comfort and reassurance.

"Well, I have an idea where he could've gone," Eleanor murmured, seeming as James and the others were still stuck in a state of shock and betrayal.

"Where?" Louis rasped with his scratchy voice.

"London," James said suddenly, stepping forward with a fierce look. Eleanor nodding, dropping her arms by her sides.

"Why would he go there?" Niall asked, stepping up by Louis.

"If he is, somewhat controlled and gave into whatever took a hold of him just a moment ago, this is Matthew's work. He would go to them, the villains, to their headquarters in London," James explained. "Let me show you."

He turned on his heel and we quickly jogged after him to keep up with his brisk walk. He led us to their lab where the computers were set up.

He sat in the chair in front of the main computer set up and quickly typed away at the keyboard, bringing the screen to life. He brought up a map of England and scrolled over to London, zooming in over the area.
