The house was chaotic and all Sofia could do was stand and watch. Niall had run off to call James, Ella had rushed to Isaac's aid, while Zayn and Louis asked him questions. Harry and Liam were arguing about the best way to go about things.

"We have to get the girls out of here!" Liam yelled, looking around at them.

"We probably don't have time, Liam, it won't be long until he comes here!" Harry hissed, "We should get them into hiding, give them some guns!"

"She's pregnant, Harry!" Liam growled.

"I understand that, Liam," Harry hissed, "But we probably don't have ti -"

"We don't have time!" James growled, as he slammed in the back door, "He's already started to move, but he's checking the surrounding areas, then he'll probably check out our house, before he comes here - it won't be long."

"What the hell is going on?" Isaac asked, "What are you doing here?"

"We were working together," James answered

"What?!" Isaac gasped

"We know everything," Harry growled, "Working together was the only way we could ensure people would make it out alive..."

Sofia blocked out the voices, as her heart clenched. Antonio was coming here, and everyone was in danger. She looked at Isaac's bruised and beaten face, and her breath stopped. She looked at her brother, who was now giving out orders to rats, and watched as Niall called for back up. But it was when her eyes landed on Danielle, that everything shifted. Danielle sat calmly in her chair, both hands over her stomach. She was just 8 weeks away from giving birth, and Sofia could see the fear in her eyes, though she stayed calm. Emily was rubbing her back, while Eleanor sat in front of her, whispering comforting things to her. It was then that Sofia realized she couldn't let Antonio walk into this house.

In all the chaos no one noticed Sofia slip from the kitchen. Quietly and quickly she made her way to Liam's office. She snuck to his desk, and quickly broke the lock on the bottom drawer. In it lay guns and spare sets of keys to everything. Sofia grabbed a handgun and an extra pair of keys, before the closing the drawer and walking out of the office. She was in the living room when Niall saw her, but she had already hidden the gun and the keys.

"Where are you going?" he asked, his shoulder and head holding the cellphone he was using.

"I think I have something upstairs that could help," Sofia lied, as she climbed the stairs quickly.

"Don't take too long!" Niall called behind her.

Sofia rushed down the hallway and into her bedroom. Closing the door and locking it behind her, she made her away across the room to her window. Climbing out of the window and onto the roof, she walked across to the very end of the roof. Like all those times she used the roof to sneak out, she was doing the same thing, but this time she didn't know if she would return. Taking a deep breath, she jumped off the roof, landing on her feet. And then without thinking, she ran for the first car, pressing the button to unlock the gate. Sofia climbed in the car, tearing the tracker off under the seat. She started the car, and pressed the gas down hard, speeding out of the driveway.

She wasn't thinking about herself as she drove down the road fast, her eyes peeled for any sign of him. When she got to a back road, the only road that someone could use to get her house, she pulled to the side, and turned off the lights. She was waiting for him, she knew he would come. She would see his lights, and she pull out again, right in front of him. He would either throw on his breaks, or he would crash into her, either way, he wasn't getting to her house, and he wasn't getting to her family.
