New World (One Direction)

Chapter #2

Harry's POV

(3 weeks before the blackout)

It was happening already, it was too soon, the blackout wasn't due for another month or so. We were not prepared for any of this. Nobody was ready, they didn't expect anything. Probably just a normal day at the office for most people, until BAM.

The power goes off.

Forever.

How will we survive?

There would be no security systems, the goverment would collapse, and with no goverment, no order; prisoners would walk around freely. Terrorising cities and towns. Killing everyone in their path with bare hands just for some food, or a gun even.

I tried to tear my thoughts away from the blackouts, but it kept bugging me, like when one hoodie string is longer than the other.

I sat myself down on the edge of my bed, fiddling with my phone, in 4 days or so, I probably wouldn't be able to use it anymore.

While scrolling through endless pictures of my family, friends and of course, me and the boys. I realised that there wont be a One Direction anymore.

No concerts.

No signings.

No 1D3D movie.

All we had worked for the past 3 years would be all for nothing.

I shook my head and tried to think straight, I decided that we needed a plan, a plan to survive. Grabbing a notepad, I started to write down ideas.

#1) Get some supplies together, enough to last about a month or two.

#2) Warn the people close to you.

#3) Don't tell anybody about the pendant.

Sighing to myself, I clicked the pen and placed the notepad on my desk. I unclasped the pendant from around my neck, it was the source.

　

When the power goes out, people will be looking for this pendant, but they don't realize that there is more than one.

I don't know exactly how many, but if all these pendants activate.

They could turn the power back on.

　

The only problem is no one knows where or who has the other pendants. They could be buried 1000 meters under the earth for all I know.

　

I know one thing though, if we don't find all these pendants in time. Humanity could be wiped out, completely. Off the map.

When the blackout comes.

We will be ready.

　

Louis' POV

(around the time Niall phoned Management)

Having just got off the phone with Eleanor, i thought i'd stop by at Niall's place for a bit, I was worried about him. Liam had called me earlier telling me that something was up with Niall, that he had gotten into a bad spot with Management.

I hated seeing Niall upset, he was the one who got the most hate, I don't know why. I think most people are just jealous of us. They think all the fame just went straight to our heads, that we are selfish people who take nothing for granted.

I clambered up the stairs leading to Niall's apartment, when I had reached the door to his flat, I heard yelling from inside the flat.

Cautiously, I knocked on the door. All of a sudden the yelling stopped. I took a step back from the door, ready to face whoever would answer.

　

"I was greeted by a puffy-eyed Niall, which made me want to pull him into a hug, but before I could do that, I needed to find out what was going on. Although I think I already knew what was.

"Niall.." i repeated.

　

"L-Louis, um well, you know I've been going through some tough times lately. I thought I'd take a few weeks off....".

　

I stared at him, upset that he would be gone for awhile, and scared at what management would say.

Or, what they would do to him.

Very sorry for the long wait, and the fact that this chapter is very small :(

Well hey there, nothing much to say tonight, except perhaps a big thank you to one fellow Wattpad member (you know who you are). You have helped me a lot with this chapter. :)

(Still doing this)
