          Mae's pitter pat feet took her as far as she could go, rushing right to the love of her life’s farm, were she knew he would be, probably out in the yard, working away.

          "Harry!" She screamed, tears rushing down her cheeks as she run up his drive, Harry rushing outside and onto the front porch, his own tears leaving red tracks down his face, but now she was here...and that was all he ever needed. "Mae," He sighed, taking the sobbing girl into his arms, but little did he know she was crying for a different reason.

          "H-Harry they killed them! M-My d-dad killed Liam and Lou!" She cried. Harry pushed her back slightly, gazing into her eyes. "W-What?" He choked out, his eyes searching for any hint of lie.

          "T-They caught them in the barn--Together, they were having sex and My father and Mr. Horan tore them from the loft and shot them. Niall and Zayn are there right now b-but I was so scared Harry." She sniffled, burying her face in Harrys neck. "It’s okay baby, stay here with my mum. I'll be back, Okay?"

          Mae nodded, starting to retreat for the house before Harry stopped her. "Wait! I-I...I want you to have this. Never take it off, I love you Mae." He whispered, placing the velvet box in her hand before he took let his feet take him down the main road.

          The men helped to roll the dead bodies into the blanket, a few others digging a large hole. This is how they dealt with things they didn’t like in the south...they killed them. Out of site out of mind.

          But Niall only sobbed harder, turning to bury himself in Zayn’s chest, still sobbing his heart out.

          "You get your dirty little hands off my son." Master Horan pushed Zayn away, Niall only screaming louder and reaching out for his lover.

          "Get on that house Niall! We will discuss this at home!" He screamed, pushing his son onto the horse, before he walked to the coach, the horses reigns in hand were he tied them to the back, grabbing a extra rope in which he used to tie a loop, slipping it over Zayn’s neck and telling the slave to move, tying him to the back of the coach as well, like some kind of Animal.

          Harry had hardly arrived by the time they were throwing the bodies into the pit, Niall and Zayn’s being dragged off.

          "Niall!" He yelled, chasing after the slow moving coach.

          "Harry?" Niall looked down at his friend from atop the horse. "Niall, Mae told me what happened, what are we going to do?" He whispered, trying not to let the Horan’s in the coach hear.

          "I-I...I don’t know Harry, I don’t." He shook his head, tears still leaking from his eyes.

          "Harry, I want you to go to the Plantation, hide in Zayn’s sleeping courters, it’s the 8th house, make sure he stays in there and make sure he stays safe, you hear?" Niall said under his breath. His friend nodded, rushing from behind the Couch and taking the shortcut through the short woods to Niall’s parents Plantation.

          Niall on the other hand, stayed tied to the coach atop the Horse, Zayn walking as fast as he could to keep up.

          "Zayn..." Niall sighed softly, sticking his hand out to hold onto Zayn’s and luckily, his parents wouldn’t be able to see it. "Everything’s going to be okay, alright?"

          Zayn nodded, his own tears draining from his face. It was now Niall’s turn to take over, being the man again, the man that kept Zayn safe.
