Nefarious [h.s]

Chapter 45.

"We are members of malefic."

My chest tightens. I feel sick. I have been living with the people that are trying to kill me. Time freezes and everything clicks. Flashbacks flash through my mind like a movie.

**

"Why should it be a secret you have guns if they are to protect me?" I question.

**

"You guys make sure to keep me protected and alive so the least I could do is check up on you and make sure you aren't dying." I smile but Niall looks down at his bedding, he looks sad. He must really not be feeling well.

**

"Why don't you guys tell me about yourselves or anything?"

"Ella." Harry warns. I just really want to know.

"Just tell me this and I'll stop. I promise." I face Harry, practically begging.

"Because we can't and we don't want to." He grabs his sunglasses and puts them on.

I lean back in my seat, confused.

**

"We can't be friends Ella It will mess up things. We came here to do our job, that's it." Zayn says, sitting next to me. 

**

Everything clicks. All those strange phone calls Harry would randomly take. Why it felt like they all had a wall up, all mysterious. The blood all over the wall of my old bedroom, it wasn't a forced entry and the only people that could get in was Lynn, Dylan... and the guys incase of emergencies. It all makes sense. 

**

"What are you some sort of doctor or something in your free time?" I ask Liam. As he checks for a concussion.

"Something Like that." He says walking towards the door.

**

I sit in the chair in pure shock and I think they know it all finally hit. 

I've been searching for malefic for about a month just to figure out, they have been in front of me all this time. Ready to kill me at any time. 

"It was you wasn't it." I look right at Harry in the eyes. "You killed Jim."

Harry says nothing and I believe that given me my answer. He looks hurt but he hurt me first. You started this Harry. 

"No. We didn't" Liam speaks up. I turn my head towards him. "Our only job was to watch you until the end date. That was what we were assigned. Watch over you and kill you on November 3rd."

Questions race through my mind. "But I'm not dead. It's November 4th." I point out the obvious. "Why is Malefic after me? I did nothing. ZI was starting to trust you guys. I though..." I choke on a cry. "I thought we were getting close. Why would you-"

"Ella." Zayn cuts in. This is the most I have heard him talk. Harry sits silent on the couch, staring back and forth between me and the floor. Niall looking up at me, his leg quickly bouncing up and down. Louis quiet, which is strange. Liam and Zayn sit trying to explain to me but I have so many questions. Everything makes sense but at the same time it doesn't. "One question at a time. We will be completely honest."

"Is that smart?" Liam looks over to Zayn.

"No. But this isn't going to end well for any of us anyways." Zayn nods at me to ask my questions. I don't even know where to begin. My heart pounding hard deep in my chest.
