One Direction Vs. 5SOS

Chapter 21

Zayn's P.O.V.

It shot through me. It shot through all of us. That sudden surge of energy. I felt it come in my fingers, up my arms and throughout my body. When Ashton pulled the trigger, I heard the voices of the children scream in fear.

I turned and ran down the top of the bridge as the bus dropped in a fast speed. I jumped off and gripped the steel and rope trying to slow it down but, I was too weak.

The bus stopped and I landed on top of it with a thud. When I pushed myself up, I looked over to see Harry outside of the bus trying to calm the kids down. I looked over across from us, seeing Liam, Louis and Niall at the other bus.

"Zayn."

I looked down at Harry.

"Can you unwrap the rope with your mind and when the bus falls I'll catch it?"

I looked at the rope and metal that was wrapped around the bus and nodded.

"Yeah."

I flew off the bus, hovering a few feet away as Harry stayed with the children. I slowly unwrapped the rope and metal, hearing the bus strain as I loosened it.

The children were becoming scared again but, it was amazing how Harry calmed them down so quickly. Like his presence alone soothed them.

Suddenly the rope and metal tightened again but, I tried to push them back apart again but I felt something blocking. I looked up seeing Luke staring down at me.

Without looking I pushed against the metal in my head. I could see the concentration in his blue eyes. He pushed the metal and I pushed back.

"Harry." I said. "It's Luke. He's pushed against the metal and it's making it difficult for me to unwrap it."

I looked away, my head started to pound as Harry looked up at him.

"I'll distract him." He said and disappeared.

I looked up at Luke seeing Harry appear behind him and tapped him on the shoulder. Luke turned around right when Harry disappeared and he appeared behind him again tapping his shoulder.

Luke turned again but Harry disappeared and appeared behind him. Before Harry could tap him on the shoulder, Luke turned face to face with Harry and swung at him but he disappeared, appearing a few feet away from him.

I looked back down at the rope and metal and quickly unwrapped it but I mentally slapped myself in the face because the bus fell with nothing to catch it.

I lifted my hands up, stopped the bus but the weight of it made my headache worsen which didn't help me concentrate at all.

Liam.

Liam flew over, moving under the bus and helped me lift it up.

Do you got this?

I've got this. You can let go.

I let go of the bus, feeling a drop-in energy. Liam flew the bus over to the end of the bridge where police car's and ambulances were gathered.

I jumped when I heard another gunshot and I looked up at Harry but, he wasn't there. I looked over at the others seeing Harry with them and the bus dropped again, seeing them all fly off as the bus stopped at the bottom of the bridge.

Niall's P.O.V.

I groaned in pain as I looked down at my hands. I was pulling on the rope when the bus dropped again, burning my hands but the pain finally started to subside.
