I Know Places In The Dark (H.S.)

Chapter 19

Marie's P.O.V.

"Marie.." A voice fades into my ears. "Marie.." I open my eyes and blink repeatedly.

Everything was blurry but my vision soon went normal. I was still in the cafe, except I was sitting in one of the booths.

"Marie." I look to my right and see Zayn chained up on a chair.

"Zayn?" I gasp. My immediate reaction was to get up and unchain him but that was until I realized my ankle was chained onto the bolted booth. "Shit." I mutter.

"You can't escape Marie." Niall walks out of the dark hallway into the main area.

"Where are the other workers?!" I yell.

"They're laying in pile downstairs. Your friend Jessica was delicious." He smiles.

My heart pounds rapidly. What's gonna happen to us? What am I gonna do? This was all happening too soon. I couldn't comprehend what was happening.

"Please unchain us and we won't tell the others." I beg.

"You actually think I care if the others know?" He laughs at me.

"Yeah that's until we rip that pretty blonde head off." Zayn spits. Niall stops laughing and walks toward Zayn.

"I'm going to torture all of your friends, one by one." Niall says. "And I think I'll start off with you." He punches Zayn on his left cheek.

"Stop!" I yell.

"What?" Niall laughs. "This is nothing compared to what I'm about to do next." He grab a glass cup and smashes a part of it on the edge of the table. "This, this is torturing." Niall stabs the broken glass cup into the middle of Zayn's chest. Zayn grunts and gasps at the contact.

"No!" I scream. I shut my eyes, trying not to look.

"Come on Marie." I open my eyes and Niall walks to me. "Play with me." He breaks the handcuff off the bolted booth. He wraps his arm behind my back and immediately pulls me to him, chest to chest. "If you try to escape or do anything stupid, I will kill you." He whispers harshly to my ears. "Understood?" I nod my head as tears drop down. He grabs my arm roughly and walks me to Zayn.

"Marie." Zayn groans. "Go leave! Get the others.." He slurs. His eyelids were slowly closing.

"Zayn!" I try to run towards him and keep him up but Niall pulls my arm back. He walks to up to Zayn and slaps his face.

"You better keep your eyes open." Niall says. "If you shut your eyes then she gets tortured." Niall jerks me forward.

"No please Niall." I try to pull away but his grasp was too tight.

"L-leave her alone." Zayn blinks repeatedly. Blood was soaking in his shirt.

"I'll leave her alone.. As long as she does me a favor." He smiles evilly. He immediately disappears then reappears but this time holding a knife. "Stab him." Niall hands me the knife.

"What?!" Mine and Zayn's eyes widen. "No!" I angrily say.

"Fine then." Niall sticks his hand inside of Zayn's chest.

"Marie!" Zayn gasps. His eyes widen and he struggles breathing.

"What are you doing?! Stop!" I cry.

"If you don't listen, he dies!" Niall yells which causes me to jump.

"Why are you doing this to us?" I cry. Niall takes his hand out of Zayn's chest.
