Chapter 13

Niall's Pov

"Get up!"

I feel a kick to my side and open my eyes wide, startled. I look up at one of the bigger guards and dread fills my body. They came sooner than expected. Sure me and Harry had planned out our escape, but this was really soon. I shake Harry awake softly. "Harry? Harry baby wake up." My voice shakes with fear.

Harry's eyes flutter open. He looks at me, then at the guard standing over us. He quickly sits up and I help him stand. I know he's scared. He's scared of loosing me like I lost Josh.

"Let's go." The guard says gruffly, kind of like caveman.

Me and Harry follow behind the guard. The path is familiar and memories flash into my head. This was the last time I was with Josh......

I look at Harry to she him shaking. He's starting to panic and I instinctively put my hand on his lower back and whisper to him, "It'll be okay baby. It'll all be okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not the end." I can feel him relax and I feel guilty. I don't know that it'll all be okay. I don't know if we'll both make it out alive, but I can't tell him that.

I see the light of day and what was before relief and peace, is now regret and fear. My stomach clenches and I wish that I could go back to the cell and cuddle with Harry, telling him how much he means to me. Oh how I wish we could just stay in that cell together while I place light kisses on his neck. I wish Josh were here with us.

My feet stumble and I realize that we're outside. Harry's breath hitches and my heart pounds. I don't know if I'm breathing but I don't really care.

"Vell, hallo."

It's him. It's that crazy mofo that killed Josh. I full my hands into tight fists, my jagged nails cutting into my palms. I can't help but notice there is a considerable shortage of guards this time. Only the one that brought me and Harry, and "The Boss". The camera is already set up and I can't help but wonder who they're going to pick.

As if answering my question, "The Boss" gestures towards me. "You, come here." I let out a breath of relief knowing that Harry will be safe, but then quickly realize that I may not be. I hear Harry whimper and I turn back to give him a reassuring smile before making my way over to "The Boss".

He makes me stand in front of the camera like Josh did. "Now, you vill say vhat I told you little friend to say." he says.

I look at him before answering, "I won't."

He let's out a soft chuckle and looks at his guard friend before quickly striking me across the face. I spit blood and spit out onto the ground and glare back up at him. "Now, you vill do vhat I tell you, or I vill kill you just like I kill you friend." I stay silent and he takes a deep breath but stays calm. I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared, but when he brought up Josh I felt my throat get knotted up. "Do you know vhat ve did vith heem after ve got rid of you?" He chuckles that spine chilling chuckle again, "Ve left his body to rot," I feel angry tears rush to my eyes, "Ve left heem out here for ze bugs and ze coyotes." My whole body is shaking. He didn't even have the decency to bury him. Josh's corpse was left to rot and be eaten. I feel the color climb up my neck to my face, the anger barley containable. "Hees body stunk so bad after a vhile I had to have my guards drag heem avay. Not even zee dogs vould eat heem." And that does it. I lung at him screaming, my fists balled.

I see his surprised face before I tackle him to the ground. The other guard leaves Harry alone to rush to help his boss. He grabs me and turns me over with me struggling in his hold. I know what I did was stupid, I'll probably get punished or maybe even killed and be separated from Harry. Harry!

I quickly turn to see his terrified and conflicted face and yell, "GO HARRY! GO! DO WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT GO!" I desperately yelled at him. He stood there looking at me with worried eyes, tears brimming them. "No Niall, I cant leave you-"

The guard was catching on but he didn't know whether to hold me or to stop Harry. I guess he made up his mind because he then let me go and turned to Harry.

"HARRY GO ALREADY GODDAMNIT! OR WE'LL BOTH BE KILLED!" I yell, Harry quickly nods and runs towards where I told him the boats were earlier this week. The guard is running after him but the guard is bigger and not as fast as Harry. I silently pray that he makes it.
