Harry's POV

**It feels like one of those nights you won't be sleeping - A.**

"For goodness sake!" I pounded on the counter as the third cryptic message came through. Louis, Niall and I hadn't heard from Zayn or Liam at all since they had left and I was beginning to worry. I didn't know whether to we should go to the police or find some weapons from I don't even know where, in order to end this for once and for all. "I just think we should go look for them." Niall said as he sat there agitated and could not sit still. "I think we should leave it to the police, they'll know what to do." Louis said stirring his Yorkshire tea. "Uhh, no way am I goin' to the cops! Remember what happened last time? They have my bloody keyring as evidence against somethin'." Niall said with a nervous little laugh as though Louis was out of his mind. "Well, we can't just sit here." I said standing up. "If we can't be 'A', we'll join 'A'!" I said getting the strangest looks from my two best mates. I walked over to Zayn's closet; we still hadn't left the spot that they had left us in. Leather jacket, after leather jacket to denim jackets and just absolutely nothing that I had in mind. I shut the closet doors closed in a hurry and grabbed my keys. "Let's go!" I guess you could say what I had planned in my head, sounded like something that had come from out of a movie. I wasn't one hundred percent sure of my plan and how it was going to turn out, but I did know two things. Number one - Liam and Zayn were going to be safe and number two - it WAS going to be one of the nights we won't be sleeping; I'll give 'A' that. 

We probably looked like a bunch of teenage thugs walking out of my apartment. Black jeans, black hoodies zipped all the way, hoods up and well, a Stanley knife tucked into the back of each of our pockets...just in case! "We are so gonna get done for!" Louis said shaking his head, getting into my black Range Rover nonetheless. It was time 'A' wasn't the only one playing mind games, we were the 'A' team now. Louis was in charge of the texting, he was sassy enough to come up with cryptic messages of his own to reply back to 'A'. It was the first time any of us had ever hit the reply button until now. Liam and Zayn were in danger, and it only meant we had to get deeper. Niall was in charge of trying to locate Liam and Zayn. It should've been easy seeing as Liam had his iPhone, but it was the cracking of his password that was the hard part. I was driving, and at this point to nowhere. We were geared up and all fired up, ready to go, but it still didn't change the fact that we really were amateurs and didn't have the slightest clue. "Cracked that password yet Niall?" I said trying to sound like a professional in a James Bond film. "Just about!" He replied. "What?!" I said shocked. I didn't actually think he was nerdy enough to be able to do it. "Liam just sent a text!" He held up the phone. So he really wasn't nerdy, I giggled to myself in thought. 

**Cemetery on Hinkler Road - LP**

"That's not Liam." I said driving faster. "Someone has his phone, he's never ended a message like that!"  The two boys just kept quiet. It really was like we were in a movie now, I was wishing the director would say 'cut' by this point. We arrived at the gates were Liam's car was parked, engine still running, doors wide open and the headlights still shining through the gaps in the gates. "Please, no one give that lad a license!" Louis said as we got out of the car and into the darkness quietly. "He either doesn't know how to operate the vehicle or something really terrible has happened that has excused him." I took a couple of torches out of the car, which I had luckily been on the ball enough not to forget. I handed one to Niall and kept the other one with me whilst Louis walked in between us. We were still in our 'A' clothing and made sure our faces were covered as we navigated through graves and tombstones. "I hate the fact that I'm walking on dead people right now." Niall whispered quietly. That fact kind of creeped me out as well, causing me to speed up the pace in search of our friends. Niall's phone beeped once more. "What does it say now?" His eyes widened and showed Louis and I the screen.

**Take a step further and you'll be walking back on your lad's dead bodies - A**

We stopped dead in our tracks and looked around. Niall shone his torch around, but no one was in sight. It was then that I shone my torch to the tombstone right in front of me. 

'R.I.P

Louis Tomlinson

Beloved son, brother, friend, father and CHEATER'

I grabbed Louis arm. Was he in danger? He looked over at my sudden grab and then read his very own tombstone. "Son...brother...friend...FATHER? CHEATER?" His tone got louder as he got to the end. "Shhh!" Niall said with big eyes as he read the same basic, yet so complicated words. "HELP!" the scream of a girl made my hair stand on end, redirecting my attention. "Who was that?" I looked around, shining my torch into every nook and cranny. "It sounds like it's coming from those bushes!" Louis said as we ran over. "I held onto the little Stanley knife in my pocket as I ran...just in case! It was better than nothing. "HELP!" We heard the scream again as we got closer. "Danielle. That's Danielle's voice! She's in trouble!" Niall panted out. I knew he was right. There was a small fence behind the bushes that we jumped over, finding Danielle tied to the trunk of a tree. I rushed over to her, cutting her free as Niall and Louis kept watch. I knew the Stanley knife would come in handy! "Are you alright love?" I said helping her up. Her face was bruised and her arms had wounds leading right up to her neck. She shook her head as the tears flowed from her eyes. "L-Liam...they h-have Liam...a-nd..Z-zayn and...Perrie." I took my hoodie off and put it around her, noticing she had her own black hoodie lying on the ground. Looks like we all had similar fashion sense today. I held Dani tightly to my body as she buried her face into my chest. "Did you see where whoever it was took the others?" She pointed back to the middle of the cemetary. "Somewhere there. W-watch your step though." "Step?" Niall questioned. "Uhh, I don't know, I heard screaming from below." She wiped her face. We walked around the graveyard for about ten minutes, with no sign of the others. "Should we call out names or be quiet?" Louis whispered before we were greeted by a massive branch falling to the ground right under our noses. Looking up we found Perrie tied to the very top branch of the tree. Her mouth had been taped, so her only way of communication was almost knocking us out with a tree branch. Niall climbed up the tree in order to set her free. "AYE!" he shouted jumping down and started sprinting, leaving Danielle in Louis' arms I followed. "It was A!" He shouted back at me as we chased in the direction he saw our attacker leave. By the time we got there, there was no one else in sight and 'A' had gotten away. "They had a torch!" He panted. "It shone into their face, but it was this mask...a real creepy one!" He said finally catching his breath. "NIALL?! HARRY?!" I heard Liam's voice from behind. "LIAM?!" I looked around, seeing no one. "DOWN HERE!" He yelled. Niall and I walked towards his voice, shining our torch down into a grave that had been dug, not filled with a coffin, but with Zayn giving Liam a boost hoping to escape. Niall and I rushed over and pulled them out of the hole. "Are you guys alright?!" They nodded, dusting themselves off. "Are the girls okay?" Liam panicked. "They're fine, we have them." "Thank goodness! Can't believe we thought they were 'A' too!" "They? What?" I questioned. "When we got here, the girls were here. 'A' was trying to frame them and make us think that they were 'A', but I knew Perrie wouldn't do that to me! I just wouldn't and couldn't believe it." Zayn said as we walked back to Louis and the girls. "Safe and sound!" I said to everyone as Zayn ran over to Perrie, holding her tightly in his arms, making sure she was okay. Liam and Danielle looked at each other longingly but didn't make the physical contact. I had gathered Allison was to be thanked for that. 

We all began to make our way back to the cars. "Liam, I don't think you should go for you license any time soon mate...just a little bit more practise yeah?" Louis tapped him on the shoulder causing smiles all round the group as most chuckled. We had just reached the gates of the cemetery when not one, but all seven of our phones buzzed with the exact same message.

**You look like bad news, I gotta have you...It's just gotta be YOU! -A**

We were all targets, there was no doubt about that. Our victimised group had grown, causing this whole situation to get even more complicated than I thought it could possibly get, and for the first time I was glad for the distance separating me and the woman I was falling for. Distance was causing us heartbreak, but it was keeping her safe on her Red tour, and that was the only thing that mattered to me.
