Benjamin Gray remembered nothing other than struggling to hold on his consciousness as a damp cloth being shoved in his mouth. Sure he was trained and knew tactics better than anyone but it was the same overconfidence which had led him on to behave with less alertness. He won't be lying if being abducted all of a sudden in such a condition was a straight embarrassment. It was like catching a frat boy composing love poetries.

As he was shoved and pushed and pulled in different directions Benjamin for the very first time had felt how it felt to be captive. He sure had had many captives in places no one could imagine to be existing. But it never seemed to intrigue him how it felt to be held captive.

As the nose of a gun poked Benjamin's back he felt even more ashamed for he had flinched ever so slightly at the contact. He gritted his teeth out of anger and shame.

Why the fu*k am I here?

His mind ran over the same question again and again considering that it was not answered when he asked it out loud. Suddenly a black cloth encircled Benjamin's head making his eyes lose contact with the surrounding light. Benjamin roared in anger and surprise of this new feeling of loss of sight, but to his dismay his hands were already tied behind his back. His legs seemed to trash a bit around before they were tied together with a thick rope and in his mouth was pushed a gag. He was pushed into a crate.

Sweat trickled down his forehead dampening his brow in the process. The lack of space to move was unmistakably uncomfortable. Benjamin seemed to be shocked at his condition, to say the least. As he struggled to let loose of the rope around his hands his mind travelled back to the time he had for the very first time abducted someone. He was twenty and as not as feared as he was currently

He remembered how difficult it was to silence the mere eleven year old from screaming and letting the whole wide world know that he had been abducted. Benjamin had tried everything from a gag to a tape but the child was too stubborn a person to let Benjamin enjoy his triumph. He kept trashing and struggling even with his tied limbs and blocked mouth. His eyes kept looking and Benjamin, the blue colour surreally serene almost exposed Benjamin to overwhelming guilt. He would either find those eyes glaring at him or bearing an unexplainable look which Benjamin seemed to find eerie. It was the look of pure innocence which made Benjamin despise himself at some point, but it was an order from the boss he had to comply. He had to make the boy and his family go through all of the pain even though he had nothing to do with the kid or his family.

Not a long time after, the boss seemed to keep his word as he slaughtered the boy's family to their death right in front of his blue irises. The boy went limp and fell on his knees as he saw the boss completing his ritual of burning the house down. He heard his parents scream and his sisters shriek but all he could do was trash around the area the chains let him cover crying for mercy for his family's life.

The most difficult part for the boy was that he was to live after this. He was given a punishment to live after losing the cause in his life.

The boy still lived. Partnering Benjamin's sole enemy.

The boy was : Louis Tomlinson.

Harry's body collided against the bar. He had just come back in after another round through the club finding himself someone to quench his cranial thirsts. It had been fifteen minutes since he had gulped down the last drops of tequila and now his system craved for more.
