Live (Niall Horan Fanfiction)

The Shelter

Niall's POV

"I'm fine. They didn't get me, don't fuss! This is just gonna be harder than we thought"! Louis muttered.

"What do we do"? I asked but no one offered up anything.

We all lay in silence because the shooting had stopped and we were trying to listen.

I heard the trudging of boots across grass coming towards us. My whole body tensed.

Two black boots stopped right in front of us and we all slowly looked up at the man in front of us. He had black trousers, a big brown overcoat, a large beard that covered the majority of the bottom half of his face. His menacing eyes darted around at us. He was chewing what looked to be a cocktail stick.

"Get 'em"! He commanded and out of the corner of my eye I saw Eva disappear. A man had grabbed her shoulders and roughly pulled her up into a standing position.

I was about to protest but was interrupted when I felt large hands grab me and savagely pull me up and away from everyone. I saw that everyone else had been treated the same way. All of them were protesting like me.

"GET OFF"! I complained but his grip got tighter.

"No point in struggling. You're only making this harder for yourselves" the leader said.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS"?! Louis shouted and the man laughed.

"Oh man, you really don't know"? He paused and looked at Eva and smiled a dirty grin. He approached her. Her hair had fallen over her right eye so he brushed it out of her face.

"And what's your name, princess"? He chuckled. It wasn't so much a laugh but a cough.

"Don't call me that"! She protested.

"Ooh feisty girl huh"?

"LEAVE HER ALONE"! I screeched and he turned to me. His finger was tracing underneath her chin. Her arms were pinned back by the guy who had her. He also seemed like an unfriendly character. Eva whimpered as the leader carried on. I tried to protest and move to get to her but I couldn't, the guard held me tighter and I groaned. He was hurting me.

"And who might you be"? He asked and glanced at Eva. Her eyes flashed with panic as she looked at me.

He looked at me in realisation. "Ohhhh...the boyfriend"?

I frowned and refused to answer.

"I'll take that as a yes"! He said and carried on caressing Eva.

"STOP IT"! I shouted and she tried to back away but the guard held her firmly in place. She gave him a death stare now, trying not to be afraid.

"FOR FUCKS SAKE, LEAVE HER ALONE"! Harry screamed.

"Calm down" he moved his hand away. Eva let out a small sigh of relief. "I'll formerly introduce myself. I am Mr Banks, in charge of our weapons department down in our shelter."

"Why were you shooting at us"? Louis asked, he was gritting his teeth with anger.

"You are a threat to us and we need to protect ourselves at all costs." Banks explained. "Even if it does mean killing innocent civilians." He winked at Eva and she looked at him in disgust.

"But we are only here because family told us to come"! Liam tried to explain.

"Family? Name"? Banks asked.
