Captured (One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 23

*Liam's P.O.V*

"I thought you'd never ask," Marie laughed.

Wait, WHAT?!

Daniel chuckled. "Did you really think I wouldn't come back for you?"

Marie grunted, but not exactly in a displeased way.

"Listen, how do I know you won't turn on me and kill me like you did my parents?" She asked.

I could only see a sliver of her, but all the boys and I could hear Marie perfectly. Wait a minute...was Marie actually smiling? Why did she seem HAPPY right now?

"Because I would've found and murdered you already, if that was my plan all along," Daniel admitted.

"Good enough for me," Marie shrugged.

This was not happening. I turned to the boys, and they looked as stunned as I was. How could Marie just go running into the arms of Daniel? She hated him when we got here, probably only a half an hour ago. How can she possibly want to work with him now? This made no sense.

"Can I tell you something?" Daniel asked.

"Go for it," Marie answered.

"I know One Direction is hiding behind the other side of that wall," Daniel said, pointing in our general direction.

Uh-oh.

"Let them be. Can we just go before they get any ideas? People are waiting for you outside the west part of this club. It's best we make an escape from the east," Marie coaxed.

"Those boys don't understand how lucky they are right now. Next time they see you, they should be kissing your feet," Daniel laughed.

Marie started laughing too.

"I'm not planning on seeing those boys for the rest of my life," she said, easily.

"DO YOU HEAR THAT BOYS?! MARIE JUST SAVED YOUR PATHETIC LIVES! IF IT WAS UP TO ME, YOU GUYS WOULD'VE ALREADY BEEN DROWNING IN YOUR OWN BLOOD!" Daniel shouted in our direction, speaking to us.

I turned to Harry, who was next to me, and we both shared the same looks. Horror.

"Let's get out of here...partner," Daniel spoke, smoothly.

"See ya boys! Thanks for helping me train! Although, right now, that might've not been the smartest thing to do!" Marie called over to us.

What the heck? Do the boys and I just let her go? Do we try to stop Marie and risk getting killed? Almost immediately, I started to develop a headache.

"Stay put," Louis ordered.

So that's what the boys and I did. This whole situation was like a curveball thrown at us. This is not what we were anticipating, and this is sure as hell, NOT okay.

I listened as I heard footsteps across the roof, and then finally, the door opening and shutting. Daniel and Marie had already walked back into the club.

The boys and I came out of hiding, and walked over to the center of the roof. We didn't really say much. We mostly spent our time rubbing our temples, pacing quietly, and trying to devise a plan. The thing is, nothing came to mind.

"We don't chase after. We don't waste our time trying to get Marie to come back to us. Screw her for turning on us, but we pretend like we never knew her from here on out," Louis said, through gritted teeth.

"But what do we tell Simon? He will literally kill us!" I cried.

"Shut up! I'll take care of it, okay?" Louis snapped at me.
