Chapter 17~

*KAT'S POV*

I yawned, sitting up on the couch.

Luke wasn't there, nobody was.

I rubbed my eyes and stood up, walking out of the living room and towards the kitchen.

"Luke?" I groaned.

There was no reply.

"Luke?" I repeated. "Mikey? Ash?"

Still nothing.

I searched the first floor rooms for the boys but they weren't in any of them.

"Boys!" I started to panic.

I ran up the stairs and into my room. I went straight for my phone, but there were no messages.

I tried to call Luke, and he didn't answer.

I dropped my phone on my bed and sprinted out of my bedroom door.

I threw open Luke's bedroom door, nothing.

I did the same with Michael and Ashton's, same result.

I whined to myself and opened Calum's door.

Luke, Ashton and Michael were sitting on the other side of the bed, on the floor.

By the backs of their heads, I could tell it was them.

"Oh, there you are." I exhaled.

Their heads all snapped back towards my direction, eyes wide.

Luke tried to get up, but fell back down.

I tilted my head when I saw a gag around his jaw, into his mouth.

The three boys started yelling, but I couldn't understand what they were saying.

I ran over to them and started to untie Luke's mouth gag.

He screeched, crying, as I revealed his mouth.

It had been sewn shut..

"What's happening!?" I screeched back, taking off Michaels next, followed by Ashton's.

Luke was screaming for me to go, but I wouldn't leave without them.

Just as I was untying his arms from the bedside, I felt a sharp pain in my neck.

The three boys screamed hysterically through the wire in their jaws, as I slowly fell to the ground, clutching my neck.

I turned my head slowly to see Calum, holding a bloodied knife with a horrifying smile on his face.

I lifted my hand to him, and realized that he, Calum Hood, had just dug that knife into my neck.

I cried out Luke's name as the world slowly disappeared.

I dropped my head to the ground in Luke's direction.

He was crying and desperately trying to get free, his mouth bloodied from pulling at the wire and trying to screech my name.

I blinked, without saying a word, staring at him, as life faded from my being.

———

"Kat!"

My eyes shot open, and I screamed, sitting up on the couch I was once again on.

Luke wrapped his arms around me.

It was just a dream.

"Baby.." he whispered. "Why are you crying? What happened? You were screaming my name in your sleep.." he said, stroking my straightened hair.
