Forever Hidden (Niall Horan)

Chapter 10- Everything Changes

Shawn's POV-

"I think we should move locations," I said as we were sitting around the campfire one night, about a month after we got Dani to Australia.  

Everyone looked up and Liam spoke, "Why?"  

I shrugged, absentmindedly making a ball of fire separate from the other flames, "I don't think it's safe to stay here for too long. I keep thinking something is going to happen."  

Eleanor, who I'd grown really close to, patted my shoulder, "It's okay Shawn. What's the worst that can happen if we stay here for another month or so?"  

I nodded, "Yeah I guess..."

Niall's POV-  

I lay awake, staring at the top of the tent. I couldn't help think about everything the past few months have brought us through.  

Beside me, Harry was snoring louder then an enraged water buffalo and I could here Zayn and Perrie's soft breathing one space over from him.  

Then I saw a human shadow flick past our tent, walking faster then a normal human should.  

Shawn.  

I got up and pulled on my jumper, exiting the tent and starting after her. "Hey!" I hissed at her, "Shawn! Where are you going?"  

She turned around, shaking wildly, "Sorry. It's the attacks. They've caught up to me lately."  

I smiled kindly, "I'll go too. I don't want you wandering off alone. It's too dangerous."  

We began to walk towards the creek I had seen her and Liam at a month ago. She started shaking very violently and uncontrollably so I reached out and held her hand.  

She began to calm down, "Niall?"  

"Yeah?"  

"Why'd you risk the television exposure and audition for the X Factor?"  

I shrugged, "I was sick of hiding I guess. I wanted to do what I loved without being afraid."  

She sighed softly, "I wish I could've done that."  

Just then we heard a single snap. Before we could even move the air smelled sweet and the world went black.

Shawn's POV-

I opened my eyes. Niall was gone. The cool night air was gone. Everything.  

I was in a room. A white room with windows that weren't windows and pictures that weren't amusing.  

A doctor walked in, "Shawn-"  

I aimed a kick at his knee, straining against the cuffs around my wrists, "What have you done with Niall?!"  

The doctor dodged my boot, "Shawn calm down. He's fine."  

I aimed another kick at him, "LIAR! Where is he?! I'm not telling you anything until he's here and safe!" I pause for a moment and then add, "And alive!" For good measure.  

The doctor sighed and left. I tried not to cry. Usually I'm emotionless in situations like this but being with the '1D Family' had made me more sensitive.  

Then a blonde haired Irishman was pushed through the door. His hands were un-cuffed and his cheek bruised.  

"Niall!" I called.  

"Shawn..." he barely whispered.  

The doctor came in, "Now it's either work with us or send him to his grave Shawn. Your choice."
