Louis’s P.O.V

I flick off the light as I blindly walk over to my bed and lay myself down. My eyes stayed wide open as I thought about earlier today. I swear I saw Harry hiding by a tree in the forest behind the targets we were all shooting at. 

I ignored the memories of that night once again as I continued to shoot. My gun was empty soon after I started shooting and I shoved my left hand in my pocket and let it dig around for the pack of bullets. I looked up and I swear I saw some brown curls in the forest. I squinted my eyes and focused harder on the area, and soon I thought I saw a pair of slightly familiar emerald or blue-green eyes and chocolate brown curly hair show up. The boy had dimples showing. I knew this boy all too well. It was Harry!

But there was something off about him. His eyes seemed a bit darker than usual, sort of a mixture between green, dark blue, gray and black. His hair also seemed a lot messier too, and he seemed a little bit paler as well. He was also wearing what looked like a dark smirk. It was something I barely ever saw him wear. I felt myself lower my gun.

“Louis, what are you looking at?” Liam asked me, but I just ignored him.

“Harry…” I trailed off. I saw Harry turn around and run off into the forest. I dropped my gun and heard the clank as it hit the ground before I started to run off after Harry. I heard Alexis and the other boys call me back in the distance, but I ignored them. I ran through the trees, thrashing at anything that got in my way. Why was Harry running from me? I swear I could hear him running up ahead of me, but he was running much faster than I was. 

I soon couldn’t hear his footsteps running ahead of me. I quickened my pace until I made it into a clearing. I looked around frantically, looking around for any sign of Harry, but found none. I start to shout his name, hoping that he will respond.

“HARRY!” I shout really loud, staying silent while waiting for a reply. I get nothing except Alexis and the boys calling my name. I try again. “HARRY!” I shout louder this time. Again, no response. “HARRY!” I shout at my loudest, and quickly gain a small head ache from shouting. I feel someone gently place a hand on my shoulder, and I jump. I turn around and see that Alexis is staring up at me with a worried expression. 

“Louis, why were you running into the forest?” Alexis asked me.

“I swear I saw Harry standing by a tree before running off!” I breathed out, already exhausted from all the running. I looked around again. “I don’t see him anymore.” I said sadly.

I returned to reality as I felt like I was being watched. I looked to my window and saw a shadow figure standing there. I couldn’t tell if it was a boy or a girl, I just know it looked like a human body of sorts, just in a shadow or cloud form. The only thing I could see clearly was a dark red glowing eye, or should I say eyes. 

I quickly jumped out of my bed, ran to my window, locked it even though it was already closed, and shut the curtains, keeping whatever that was out of my room. I got back into my bed, covering my body up to my chin and laid on my side, facing my back towards the window. Considering what I just saw, I was able to fall asleep quickly.

Alexis’ P.O.V

It’s been a couple days since I saw Louis, Liam, Niall and Zayn. I told them that I was busy helping Sam and Dean out with some research for a hunt. They leave in a couple days, and I sadly don’t get to go. They’re investigating all these people going missing. It happens on the same day every week for the past month, and the disappearances are all the same – no signs of struggle, no signs of forced entry, and all that. I can barely find any connection with these victims except that they are all men and they are all nineteen. So far, no other connections have been found. I am pretty good at finding connections though, so I’m sure we’ll find it soon.
