Chapter 26 Was It All Lies?

Harry's Pov

All I knew and felt was pain before darkness came and washed over me to remove it all. All I remembered was laying in Louis's lap in silence, watching as he mouthed the words to me; I love you... while he carried me to a place I couldn't pin point in my mind.

It was all dark...up until one point, I was back in that moment...

I couldn't breathe; pain held a chokehold around my neck...everything hurt. I've tried to fight and fight; fight him but he was too strong.

"You mother fucking piece of shit," he said, landing punches after every word. I had to be strong...I knew Louis was coming.

But I don't know how long I'd last anymore...

To be honest, I blacked out many times during the whole event...I heard many familiar voices, like Lottie's and definitely Louis's but it definitely seemed like everyone was there to help me...

I woke up in a cold sweat from the nightmare of him. The sun was in my eyes and I squirmed in my place, beneath all the blankets on top of me. To be fair, I was so cold and hungry and just still plainly tired, but glad, I did not feel pain or sore...

I jumped in place, flinging off the blankets to inspect my body, only to find that on my skin, was nothing. No bruises or scratches from the knife my father used on me. My skin was clear, smoothed and healed. But clearly, my mind was wounded instead. I was alone, I didn't like the feeling, but I was comforted by the fact that I could recognized the room to be Louis's...

His clothes thrown about, football posters everywhere with a matching football in the corner, a desk and wardrobe...all fitting.

There was commotion downstairs, voices speaking loud enough for me to hear muffles but nothing else. It was enough to catch my curiosity. As slowly and comfortably as I could, I climbed out of Louis's bed. Surprisingly, I didn't feel a thing though I felt unbalanced, dizzy.

Shaking my head from the dizziness, I crept out of the room when I heard a cold and angry voice.

"Fuck you! You'll fucking regret this!" It was Eleanor's angry voice, hissing at whoever she was talking to. I crept down the stairs until I reached the last step, keeping my back to the wall so I was hidden from the front door view, the kitchen and part of the living room. The door slammed shut and I held my breath as the quietness settled.

"Dude, what the fuck was that?" Liam's voice broke it, appalled, making me wonder what happened.

"Karulum. It is a mermaid's power...one they grow in after they've met their soulmate," Niall's voice explained tiredly. This was new to me; Niall never mentioned this...power...

It made me questioned myself; could I gain it or do I have it now since Louis is my soulmate?

"But its true. She will not let this go and neither will her father," a new voice butted in. "Neither you or Harry are safe."

My confusion only grew, as their voices migrated to the living room. I had to shake my head once or twice when I heard the voice; it was Jay, Louis's and Lottie's mom but I wondered why she was here. Did that mean she knew what me and Niall were?

Hell, did they all know now?

"I know, so you keep saying. But hell, when are you gonna tell him about his real father? Because it sure as hell won't be me, Jay, and because of the fucking hunters on our asses, I doubt he'd want to know before I have to tell him that we've gotta hide out in the ocean for a bit, how ever long that'll be," Niall fired and I actually felt my whole entire soul freeze.
