Ok so this chapter is a little...violent...i apologize, it may be hard for some to read or whatever, but it is fiction and honestly not that bad:) it's just the kind of writer I am... hope you enjoy

The clap of thunder had Cora sitting up in her bed. She looked at the clock on the wall of her bedroom: 3:00. She rubbed her eyes and threw her legs over the side of her bed. She had a slight headache.

She fumbled around on her bedside table and found a candle, which she lit. Sleep, she knew wasn't going to come anytime soon so she figured she could at least read or something ‘till she was tired again.

There was a clanging sound downstairs. At first she thought she had imagined it but then it came again. She quickly grabbed her cloak and headed out into the hallway.

She heard the clanging and realized it was the front doors of the castle being opened. Then she heard voices as well.

Cora found her way through the corridors until she found the stairs. She hurried down them.

At the bottom Cora saw Kylie standing outside the sanctuary room. She had her hand over her mouth.

Cora looked at the maid, Kylie only shook her head, looking about to cry. She pointed to the floor. It was red. Blood.

Cora started panicking. She followed the trail of blood through the kitchen and into the sanctuary where they hospitalized people. Inside some nurses and people alike were standing by a bed. On the bed was a man. Cora recognized him at once.

“Oh my god!” She screamed. She rushed over pushing people out of them way, one of them she noticed was Liam. He was soaked with water and possibly Niall’s blood. When she pushed past his he grabbed her arm and pulled her back,

“Let me go!” She squealed, struggling in his grip. He didn't release instead turned to a nearby guard. “Wake Louis and the others, quickly. Only them, avoid waking anyone else.”

Two guards rushed out to carry out Liam’s orders. Liam turned to Cora who he still had his grip.

“Calm down.” He said, pulling her out of the room. She let him.

“What happened?” She asked, weakly. Liam shook his head.

“We don't know.” He said. “He was found outside, covered in blood.”

Cora wondered for a minute if maybe it was an accident. If maybe he fell or hurt himself some way. But what Liam said next, cut of her thoughts of that possibility.

“It wasn't’ an accident.” He said. “Someone did this to him.”

   ***

The commotion out in the corridors woke Kasi up. She rushed out to see what was going on. A couple guards walked by her. She stopped one.

 “What’s going on?” She asked.

 He looked at her gravely. “Downstairs.” Then he continued on his walk down the hall. Kasi stood there confused. Kylie and Carly rushed past her.

 Kasi ran after her. “Hey! Do you know what's going on?”

 Kylie shook her head but kept walking. The three came to the stairs and rushed down them. They went into through a door next to the staircase and walked into a hall where they saw Cora, Liam, Zayn, Harry, Lia, and Louis. Liam was sitting on a bench in between Cora and Lia. Harry was leaned against the wall with his eyes closed. Zayn stood near Harry. Louis was pacing the room, running his hands through his hair.

     “How can this happen?” He asked to no one in particular.

 “What happened?” Kasi asked. No one looked at her. She tried again “Hello? What’s going on?”
