One Direction Vs. 5SOS

Chapter 23

Zayn's P.O.V.

"Hm?" I groaned.

"Wake up." Someone whispered.

Harry?

"Why? What's wrong?" I mumbled.

He shoke my arm again making me open my eyes.

"Come on. I have to show you something." He said.

The room was too dark for me to make out his face and I glanced over at the clock.

2:47 a.m.

"Dude, do you know what time it is?" I asked, rubbing my eyes.

"Yeah. We're going to run out of time if you don't get up right now." He said a bit forcefully and I sat up.

I grabbed my sweat pants off the floor and I searched blindly for a shirt until Harry handed me on. He opened the door as I pushed my feet into my shoes and the light from the hallway helped me see his face.

He looked like he was in hurry but he also looked agitated. He leaned against the door as he pushed his hands into the front pocket of his black hoodie.

I grabbed my phone and slid it into my back pocket and walked out the room. He closed the door behind me and I followed him down the hallway to the elevator.

"What are we doing? What do you have to show me?" I asked him when he pressed the lobby button.

"Something important but we can't do it here." He said and the elevator doors opened.

We stepped inside and he pressed the lobby button again, closing the doors.

"I'm going help you with your powers. It's time you know a secret about them." He said.

"A secret?"

He looked at me, his green eyes were intense.

"Yes but, you have to promise that tonight only stays with us."

"I promise." I said.

He stared at me as he reached over and stopped the elevator. The elevator shoke a little as it stopped and I looked at him questionably. He turned to me.

"Do you trust me?"

I looked at him up and down and even though I was getting an odd vibe from him, I nodded. He shook his head.

"No. I have to hear you say it." He said, taking a step towards me.

"I... I trust you." I said.

His eyes seemed to be looking for something in mine but, he nodded and gripped my wrist.

"Take a deep breath."

I did what he said and the next thing I know, we were outside. He looked around and I realized we were on top of a building. The scene switched again and we were standing in front of a tall dark twisted tree with long branches and small green leaves hanging from it.

He let go of my wrist and I let out the breath I held. I looked around and I noticed that we were by a foggy lake that seemed to stretch on for miles. I looked up at the pale moon, shining bright tonight and turned back to Harry.

"Where are we?"

"I don't know." He said.

He touched the tree and looked at me.

"Do you know what kind of tree this is?"

"No." I said.

"It's a willow tree." He said and leaned against it. "Yeah know. I read how the Native Americans would use this tree for crafts and medicine."
