Tell Me A Secret

Chapter 12: Shadows of Hope

I have 10 minutes to get ready.

I run to the bathroom down the hallway so I can wash my face and brush my teeth. There is a toothbrush in an unopened plastic package on the sink counter so I'm assuming it was for me. I haven't had a chance to eat since I've been here that I know of, but I think I've lost my appetite. I brush my teeth and wash my face before gazing in the mirror at my reflection.

I look different... I look tired, broken down, and sad. I looked different in a way I can't describe. Just the other day I was at home with my dad and Niall eating breakfast with them. I looked youthful and happy, now I look wounded and exhausted. My eyes narrow down to my neck where there were red prints on my neck, Harry's handprints.

I brush all my thoughts out of my head and walk out of the bathroom before Harry starts to yell at me again. I enter my room once more and head over to my closet. The clothes in here were very modern and basic colors. But they were women's clothing, Why are they in here? I grab a black shirt and some black sweatpants and throw them on. I grab my vans that I brought here with me and I head downstairs.

As I get downstairs Harry stands next to the door in all black and a huge duffle bag on his back. What is in there? And where are we going?

Harry reaches for the door and opens it holding it open for me to get out. Where was Niall?

The door closes and we walk down a long dark hallway to what seems like an elevator. He takes his hand and reaches for the keypad and covers it with his other hand so I can't see it. The elevator door jolts open and we get inside. The elevator jolts down and Harry leans his back against the opposite wall. He wears a black shirt and black jeans like always.

"W-where are we going" I timidly ask out of fear

He takes a long pause before parting his lips, "That's for me to know and you to find out"

My eyes widen and my stomach turns like so many times before.

"You know you don't have to be a dick all the time Harry, you know you did kidnap me, its not like I'm going anywhere anytime soon" I spit back at him, looking away from him and directing my attention to the buttons.

He just chuckles and he is probably smirking but I can't see him.

"You know I like your fire in you" he says directing it at me

I turn my head towards him and look at him confused and say, "Excuse me"

"After everything I've put you through, you are strong and still have an attitude" he says rolling his eyes at me

*DING* the elevator sounds

I start to walk over towards to doors but I'm grabbed by Harry. He pulls me by my hands and flips my body so I'm facing the other way.

"HARRY" I yell at him kicking at his body trying to get him to let me go.

"You really thought I was going to let you see where we are at darling" he says letting go of my one hand and reaching into his pocket.

He lets go of both of my hands and takes a piece of cloth and ties it around my eyes so I can't see anything.

"Is this really necessary?" I spit out annoyed.

"Yes Avery" He says finishing up his wrapping job.

He grabs my hips and lifts me up so I think I'm hanging over his shoulder. I start kicking him just to make sure I was in the position I thought I was.

"Knock it off Avery" he whispers softly.

I feel us walking and I hear other people speaking, it was like I was in a hotel. They probably are staring at Harry with wide eyes. Like who wouldn't tell the cops if they saw a sight like this.
