Treacherous

Chapter Two

*~*~* Niall's POV *~*~*

A shot goes off somewhere in the crowd and Amie collapses in my arms, her own arms flopping to her sides. I catch the back of her head to prevent her from hitting the ground.

When I place my hand there I feel something warm and slick covering my hand. I lay her down softly before pulling my hand away. It's covered in blood. Her blood.

There's a pool of it surrounding her head now. Panic strikes me as time seems to move too fast for me to comprehend.

Tears start to leak out of my eyes, streaming down my face at a steady pace. Strangled sobs then pour out of my mouth as I crawl backwards, my hand leaving a print on the white platform; one made of blood.

Bodyguards whisk me away from her and back into the plane. They just leave Amie lying there!

"No!" I fight back, although I know it's no use. These bodyguards are easily 5 or 6 times my size.

The other boys file in after me, their faces pale as they pass her.

"Help her!" I scream at everyone, anyone.

Mandy hops in front of me and forces me to look at her, "The ambulances are trying to get to her now without running anyone over, okay?"

"Make them move!" I yell.

"We're trying Niall."

"You're not trying hard enough!"

With that, she excuses herself and gets on her walkie-talkie, screaming at the paramedics to hurry. I get up and stumble to the other side of the plane, my body seeming to have gone numb. My hand hits the window pane with a loud smack! as I collide with the wall after tripping over the seat. From here I can see her still lying there, the paramedics just now climbing the stairs to reach her.

The rescue team moves her onto a stretcher as the ambulance pulls up and as they do her hair drips with blood, the amount of it is astonishing.

Blood splatters everywhere, drops clinging onto the walls of the plane. Looking away, a suffocated scream escapes my mouth and my hands pull at my hair, trying to suppress the fear and pain that's running through my veins.

After she's loaded onto the vehicle I stand and run to the door, only to be stopped by a bodyguard. His broad hand lands on my shoulder and I struggle to push past it. His eyes shine with pity, but he won't let me through.

Mandy steps in front of me and cautiously says, "Niall..."

"Damn it Mandy! Let me out!" I pound the door next to her head and watch as her eyes dilate in fear. Getting real close to her face I speak lowly so only she will hear, "Let me out now, or so help me I will smash my way out of here. Wouldn't look too good if I went out there all bloodied up, huh?"

It was pretty close to a growl and I said it in all seriousness. I won't hesitate to claw my way out there.

"No... It wouldn't be good..." she whispers, looking down at her hands.

"Let him out," she nods at the guy holding my shoulder and he releases me before the door clicks open.

"Thank you." I nod sternly at Mandy but my eyes hold anger as I pass her.

That anger quickly turns to worry as I jump into the back of the ambulance right before the door closes, turning to see only a huddle of paramedics. I see the edge of the stretcher and the color on my face recedes. Deep red liquid drips off the corner calmly, as if it doesn't belong to the girl I love most in the world.

Drip. Drip. Drip.

I watch as each droplet falls to the floor, the level of dread I feel rising.

No matter how much it kills me, I stay silent and let the paramedics do their work. Breaking down wouldn't help them, only slow them down.

My hands are clenched into fists as I look anywhere but the stretcher, trying to think of anything but what could happen. But of course, to make matters worse, a stream of blood runs down the floor of the vehicle when we hit a sharp turn.

The river snakes around the professionals feet as my eyes remain glued to it. It runs down until it gets to my shoe before it stops. Just stops millimeters from touching me.

And then I can't hold it in anymore.

I break.

My knees move up to my chest and my fingers tighten and curl at the ends. Sobs vibrate through my chest and I start to shake uncontrollably.

She could die.

I push myself farther into the corner as my tears cloud my eyes and everything begins to blur together. My heart beats faster and faster as this attack continues to run its course.

Blubbers make my lips quiver as my body continues to convulse, unable to control its panic and rage.

The stress finally sends me over the edge and black dots appear before me as the world disappears altogether.
