The Winged Adventures of One Direction

T.W.A.O.D Chapter 16

*Hi everyone :) I hope you're enjoying reading my story cuz I'm having a great time writing it <3*

My POV~~

I crack open my eyes, squiniting in the bright light. I blink and my eyes adjust. My arms feel weak, but I push myself up anyway. I take in my surrondings.

I'm on the ground in a dimmly lit forest; a pine forest with gigantic trunks planted stationary all around me. The ground is damp and covered in a thin layer of brown, crippled leaves. I look up to see a grey sky. Clouds maybe?

'What happened? Where am I?'

Then I remember. I jumped in front of Liam. Paul hit me with a light-ball-thingy. Am I dead?

Quickly I get to my feet. My head spins slightly but I shake it off. I expect to be cold but I'm wearing a dark marroon sweatshirt, black jeans, and hiking boots. I don't remember wearing these articles of clothing.

A cold wind nipped at my cheeks as I take slow steps into the forest. There's isn't one sound. Not a bird singing or the rustle of squrriels in the tree branches. Only the sound of my boots crushing the leaves below my feet.

"Hello?" I shout. The sound travels for some distance before I can no longer hear it. "Is there anyone here?"

Still no answer. I trudge a few more yards before I hear a twig snap. I spin around, hoping to see someone.

"Who's there?"

No answer.

I take a few more steps. Another twig snaps. I spin in a conplete circle, still not spotting anything or anyone but trees and leaves.

A loud, strong winds blows, shaking branches and freezing my face. I tighten the sweatshirt around me.

'Wait a minute,' I stop and think to myself. 'This feels exactly like evil winds.'

'That's right,' a raspy voice hisses.

I turn around, but no ones there. I take steps backwards, trying to find an outline of something.

I squint my eyes and vaguly see the outline of a tall man. I blink. The outline disappears.

I turn and run. I run deeper into the forest and not turning around. I dodge trees and jump over misshapened rocks. The same cold chill remains dripping down my neck.

"Stop! Please!" I scream, tears blinding my vision.

My foot catches something and I fall flat on my face. I quickly turn over. I freeze in fear.

The outline. It's standing right in front of me. More floating than standing though. It doesn't have a face or arms or legs. It just floats there.

"You ruined everything!" It hisses then throws itself at me.

I cover my head with my arms, screaming at the top of my lungs. "Stop! Stop! Please, let me go!"

Someone grips my wrists, someone strong. I try to shake their grip loose. They squeeze tighter.

"Leave me alone!"

"Mackenzie, it's me," says a familiar voice. The accent is practically unforgettable.

I open my eyes. I see perfect blue ones starring back at me.

"Niall?" I whisper.

Before he could respond, a sharp, stinging pain runs through my arm. My eye lids become droppy and I feel myself falling asleep.

***^^^***^^^***

Niall's POV~~

"She was awake! Why did you do that?" I shout at the male nurse that drove a huge needle into Mackenzie's arm.
