*Harry's POV*

The police and ambulance workers rushed down the stair. I had Claudia in my arms while holding the hoodie to her wound. Her body felt so light, boney and fragile. Marcus didn't feed her enough. And the fact that he tortured her and beat her, just tears me apart. The police ran over to Marcus while Liam explained the situation. The ambulance workers easily lifted Claudia onto the stretcher. Her hand lay loosely in mine. "I'm coming with her." A worker with slick black hair tried to stop me. "Are you family?" I pushed past her. "I'm her boyfriend." She nodded. I sat beside Claudia holding her small, boney hand. I kissed her forehead gently. "You'll be okay." I wasn't going to lose her when I just got her back.

*Niall's POV*

The rest of them went upstairs. I was about to follow before I remembered the closet. I walked slowly over to the closet door. I reached for the handle and pulled it open. I gasped. A skinny, beaten girl who looked 18 or 19. She was gagged and tied up. She had tangled blonde waves and piercing blue eyes. She was so beautiful. I needed to help her. She looked at me with pleading eyes. I bent down to her level and untied her and took the gag out of her mouth. She fell into my chest, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Thank you, thank you." I rubbed her back. "It's okay. Did Marcus do this to you?" She nodded. "What's your name?" She trembled. "Maisy." I smiled. "What a beautiful name." I scooped her up into my arms. "Don't worry Maisy I'm going to help you." I couldn't believe how light she felt in my arms. I rushed up the stairs with Maisy in my arms. I ran outside and ran to the ambulance. "Please help her!" The boys had startled looks on their faces, so did the ambulance workers. A man with dark hair black hair came and took her out of my arms. He placed her in a seat in the back of the ambulance. The doors slammed shut. I took a step back and walked over to the boys, running a hand through my messy hair. Zayn put his arm around my shoulders. "Who was she?" I sighed. "Another victim of Marcus."

*Harry's POV*

I stayed by her side, holding her small fragile hand in my large one. I stayed with her while they rolled her down the Halls. They reached 2 large doors. This is where they wouldn't allow me to go any further. I tried to protest but they told me to sit in the waiting room.  I slumped into one of the hard plastic chairs. The boys soon arrived. They had devastated looks on their faces. They came and sat beside me, wrapping their arms around me. "Don't worry mate. Claudia's one tough girl, she will make it through this." I nodded slowly, crying into Niall's chest, soaking his t-shirt. Zayn sighed. "There was another victim Harry." My head shot up. "What do you mean." Louis ran a hand through his hair. "The thing is, Claudia wasn't Marcuses only victim. Their was another girl. Another victim of his." Disgust poured into me. What was going through his mind when he thought he could treat girls this way. It was sick, cruel and savage. Marcus deserved to be punished for causing such pain to people. "What's her name?" Liam rubbed my shoulder. "Her names Maisy and she's just having a checkup now." I nodded. Soon a door swung open revealing a small, boney girl who was bruised and beaten, had tangled blonde hair and had ripped, mangled clothing. Niall jumped up. "Maisy are you okay?" She nodded. "Yeah I'm fine. The doctor said I didn't have any broken bones, just a sprained wrist. The bruises will fade away on their own and I'm quite skinny from not being fed enough so I just have to keep up a big appetite for a while." She snuggled into Niall's chest. "If you hadn't of found me in that closet, I don't think anyone would of." He stroked her tangled hair. Eleanor, Perrie and Dani ran in then. Dani ran into Liam's arms. "Is she going to be alright?" Liam shrugged. "We haven't heard anything yet." All the girls had red puffy eyes. Perrie sobbed into Zayn's chest. Eleanor walked over to Maisy. She smiled. "Louis texted me and told me about you. It disgust me how someone could do this to you's." she nodded. Eleanor pulled her into a hug. "I'm Eleanor by the way." She smiled lightly. Eleanor handed her a bag. "Here, I brought some clothes for you to change into and a hairbrush." Maisy smiled. "Thanks Eleanor." She walked over to a nurse asking if she could use the shower here. The nurse nodded and gave some soap and shampoo to her off a trolley. She proceeded into one of the rooms. Another door then swung open. The doctor stood there. He had a stern look on his face like most doctors do. "May I speak to one of you?" I gestured to everyone. "We're all friends of her. You can say it to all of us." He nodded. "Well Claudia has had a very deep wound. She has lost a lot of blood and suffered some brain head injuries. We will have to do a surgery on her shoulder but we are unsure if she will survive the night. Her vitals aren't looking good." I broke down crying. I shook my head. "She's strong. She will survive this." The doctor sighed. "Harry I don't want you having false hope. I'm just saying be prepared." I shook from my constant crying. I couldn't bear the idea of my Claudia being hurt. I loved her too much for her to leave me.
