Harry's Pov

A dark grip yanked me out of a dreamless slumber. I snapped up right the bed, feeling my eyes darken and the cold sneaking in once again.

I wanted to cower from it, feeling the way it feels and how it could bring out the dark side in me. I shivered, flinging off the covers of the bed.

There was no point in sleeping anymore, not with the dark presence awake and thrumming. I could feel warmth too, making me relax when I could feel my own power. I didn't even think about why Louis wasn't there when I woke up, figured he had his own reason.

As I walked out of my room, there was silence. I don't even think that the lads were in their own rooms. So, I crept into the hallway, making my way to the training area where the lab was too.

But as I walked into the training area, it was empty. I glanced around for a moment, wandering inside, when I caught the door of the lab open, seeing a glimpse of Layla, Neil and John inside.

The door was open wide enough so I could see them but also hear they were watching the news as I crept closer. I didn't know why I was being quiet but they seemed to be stuck in trances, eyes locked on the computer screen as I gently pushed the door open enough so I could slip inside.

Their backs were to me and I crept closer, keeping to my silence as I behold the screen of the chaos before me.

Smoke was everywhere. The volume was on but I could tell it was turned down significantly to lower the volume of the already deafening screams. Booms could be heard of buildings being wrecked.

The reporter was crying but desperately trying to narrate what was happening through her hiccups. Now, I understand why it was so silent when I caught sight of a flash of blue fire.

I stepped forward, eyes widening as Louis burst into the sight of the camera in his hero suit and mask. He skidded across the ground, his flames wrapping around him in a shield as ice and rocks followed him.

Liam burst into the view after him, flying through the air before his feet landed with a stumble. Louis had blood coating his shoulder and Liam had a limp to his leg but it seemed neither injury stopped them from fighting off another round of rocks and ice shooting at them, fire and wind combing.

Matthew and Mala hit the view of the camera then with gleaming evil smirks and thats when I broke the silence.

"I need to help them," My voice was small but it made everyone jump and face me. James tapped the computer quickly, stopping the footage at where Matthew was lunging towards Louis and Liam.

"Harry," John hummed, face pale. "You're awake."

I dragged my eyes to his after a minute had past.

"Matthew woke me up and I'm guessing its because of that," I looked away and pointed at the screen with a shaky finger. "This is it, isn't?"

A bad feeling pierced through my gut, sharp and hard. The dark presence hummed and chuckled, seeming to answer my question in itself.

"You can't defeat them. We don't have a plan. If this it..." Eleanor breathed and shook her head with glazing eyes.

"No, no, no," I shook my head. "There has to be something, right? There has to be!"

I looked at all of them, meeting their dull eyes. They didn't want to give up but that seemed like the only option. They looked away the second mine met their own.
