An Innocent Warrior (Completed)

Chapter 15.

Jenna's POV 

"I'm scared." Emily said for the hundredth of time. 

"I know, I know. It'll be okay." I told her, but I wasn't sure anymore. 

My plan was to go to my aunt's house that lived on the outside of London. I researched it and everything on the computers from the library. 

We shouldn't be looking for stuff in there without permission, since we actually had to pay, but I always went at night when they had change of shifts, so no one was watching. 

The thing is, that when we go to where my aunt lived, it was ruined. 

Everything was destroyed, houses where burned or completely collapsed. 

Since then, we've been walking and trying to go to London, but everything, again was destroyed so I couldn't recognize anything. 

I have no idea where we are and I have no idea how to go back. 

We haven't eaten in what feels like days, but I don't know how long we've been gone. 

"I'm hungry." Emily said again, making me groan. 

"I get it okay? We are in the middle of nowhere, I have no clue where we are if I'm honest with you and I have no food left. We have to try and find someone that might help us." 

But the other truth is that we haven't found a single living person around. 

"C-Can we rest?" She sounded so tired, making me sigh. We've been resting a lot and I feel like that's why I got disoriented, because we've slept everywhere and nowhere at the same time. 

"Yeah, okay." I sigh as I looked around and saw a small cave that was created by two houses that collided together. 

It looked pretty solid so we went underneath there. 

I feel so bad, I just don't want to think that this is the end. 

Specially not for Emily. She's way too young for this and I just made our situation worse. 

We only have each other now. 

And I promise to myself that I will get us to safety, at least Em. She needs to go back somehow. 

Louis' POV 

It was my turn to talk to my parents and when Niall came out of the room, we all knew that he wasn't coming. 

"But maybe it's a good thing Niall, that way if she comes back you can tell us somehow." Harry said, trying to make him feel better. 

"Yeah, that's what I'm trying to tell myself." He replied and went to our room. 

"Louis, come in." John said and I looked at Harry and he looked pretty nervous. 

I'm sure my uncle won't let me go. 

We've lost so much already...  So I'll probably make Niall company. 

John passed me the phone which was already ringing and I heard my uncle's voice. 

"Hello?" 

"Hi uncle Dean." I said. 

"Louis! Oh my God, how are you?" 

"I'm good uncle D." I said. I don't want to last too long so I'll go straight to the point. "Um uncle D, I'm calling you because I have to ask you something..." 

"Okay, go ahead." 

"I'm gonna be completely honest with you. I have a very good friend of mine in trouble because she ran away. She was very sad because they told her that her mom died in the war, the war got to her, so she was devastated and I guess the only way out of the pain was to run away. She has a little sister and they might be in danger. We have no idea where they are but I wanna help and find her." 

"Louis..." 

Oh no, there it goes. 

"Wait, I know what you are going to say. We've lost too much already. I know my sisters won't like this, because I'm sure you'll call them for this and I don't want them to worry. I promise we'll be safe, I promise I'll come alive. I just need you say yes." 

"I don't think this is a good idea Louis." 

"Please, we've lost too much already, but losing her... I just can't think of it. I can't lose her too. I've only known her for a small time but that's exactly why I can't lose her. I just c-can't." My voice cracked at the end and I know that he knows. 

"You like her a lot, don't you?" 

I sigh and nodded, but remembered that he can't see me. 

"Yeah." I said. 

"And more than a friend kind of love huh?" 

"Y-Yeah. Please, please, I really can't lose her." 

He thought for a few moments that felt like an eternity. I look at John who told me 'time's up'. 

"Please." 

"Okay fine, you can go. But please promise me you'll be safe and you'll come home to us when all of this is over." 

I sigh in relief and nodded, feeling myself getting happy that I will be able to help and find Jenna. 

"I promise, thank you so so much." I said and hang up. 

"Well, we'll begin the search tomorrow, okay? I'll tell you all the details later today." 

I nodded and thanked him. 

When I went outside the room Harry looked at me, curious was evident in his eyes. 

"I'm going." I told him and he smiled at me and we both hugged. It's the first time we've hugged but I feel like this is a step closer to Jenna. 

And he feels that too. 

Harry's POV 

For me, this could go either way. 

My mom can tell me I won't go, or she can tell me that I can. 

"Harry, come in." John called to me and I began to feel nervous. 

"I'll wait for you here." Louis said and I nodded, thanking him. 

Once I see him again, I'll know if I'm going with him or I'm staying with Niall. 

I know I'm sounding dramatic, but I can't just sit here and do nothing. I really hope my mom will let me go.
