One Direction Vs. 5SOS

Chapter 29

Liam's P.O.V.

I'm not sure how long I've been following Harry. But the more I followed, the more curious I got. He was near a river so, we were far away from the city. I sat down on a tree branch, the thick leaves and branches hiding me from being seen.

He sat his book on the ground, pulling a knife from it and walked a few feet away from it. He crouched down and stabbed the ground, drawing a big circle in the ground. He stood inside of it then drew a line halfway in the circle then draw a diagonal line to the right then the left.

He stepped away from it, looking down at it and I realized it looked like a peace sign. He walked over to the river and cleaned off the knife then picked his book up, standing in the triangle part of the circle.

He flipped through the book and stopped on a page, reading and he sighed, dropping the book on the ground.

"Dammit." He said in frustration and disappeared.

I looked around for him but he was nowhere to be seen. I decided to stay put for a while, knowing he'll be back. A few minutes later, he appeared again with a bag in his hand.

He unzipped it and pulled out a bottle and a lighter. He toke a few steps away from the circle and poured whatever was in the bottle around it and tossed the empty bottle away.

His finger brushed the lighter twice and it finally lit. He hovered the small flame close to the ground till the grass caught it and in seconds following the trail of liquid making a ring of fire.

Harry stayed in the circle as he bent down pulling something else out and tossed the bag over the fire onto the ground. He stood up holding some kind of cup in his hands as a grey smoke came out of it.

He closed his eyes, breathing the smoke in as he whispered something. There was a loud splash noise and I looked over at the river seeing something dark popping its head out.

It was a man that slowly crawling out of the water as two other heads popped up and they climbed out too. What was even more creepier is that, they all looked like they were covered in black paint.

Harry opened his eyes as they started to walk towards him but, it looked more like they were glitching. Harry sat the cup in the center of the circle and grabbed the knife as the men glitched toward him.

The fire didn't seem to affect them as they walked through it and stood in the circle with Harry. Harry eyed them and smiled as he spoke. I slowly moved closer to hear him better, trying not to make any noise.

"Help me, Help you." Harry said. "If you help me do this then I'll help you move on to Heaven."

I successfully moved to a closer branch without making any noise and I let Harry's words sink in.

Help him to do what? Move on to Heaven? Are these ghost's he's talking to? How can they help him?

"And if you don't believe me, I'm prepared to make a blood oath." He said, waving the knife side to side in his hand. "I've heard how you've been doing good now that your dead because you miss your loved ones."

Harry raised his hand with his palm up in the middle of them, the fire dancing in his black eyes.

"Just trust me and once I've got what I've wanted. I will release you and reward you." He said, bringing the knife to his hand. "Do we have an agreement?"

My heart pounded as I held my breath but, Harry sliced his hand making me gasp as something moved behind him. A big shadow flew towards him but as it got closer, it seemed like something hit it because it fell back. Like the fire was like some kind of wall.

The men touched Harry's hand and they all seemed to shake and scream and ran towards Harry, disappearing in him as the fire went out like a lightbulb and the shadow surrounded him as he fell back and screamed out in pain.

"Harry?" I said, unsure if I should stay or go help him.

But how?

The shadow surrounded him, blocking me from seeing him as it rolled him around on the ground. I saw glimpses of him, thrashing around and screaming and I couldn't take it anymore.

"Harry!" I shouted as I jumped down and ran towards him.

Through the shadow, I saw two eyes, flashing from green to black as they stared at me in shock.

"Liam? NO!" He shouted as the shadow flew off him and aimed towards me like a dark.

The next thing I knew I was surrounded by darkness.

Niall's P.O.V.

"DINNER'S READY! GET YOUR ASSESS DOWN HERE! IT'S CHOW TIME!" I shouted from the kitchen as I ran to the table and sat in my spot.

Harry sat my plate of chicken pot pie down in front of me and petted my head.

"Thank you, Harry!" I said, grabbed my fork and dived in.

"AH FUCK!" I shouted, the food burning my mouth but, I forced it down.

"Careful Niall. We don't want you hurting yourself." Zayn said, sitting down at the table.

I looked up at Liam, who had a massive headache so he's stayed in bed all day.

"Are you feeling better Liam?" I asked him.

He sat next to Zayn and looked at me, his eyes still had dark circles under them.

"Yeah. My headaches gone but... I don't know. I just feel weak."

"Probably because you haven't eaten anything in like two days." Louis said, sitting at the end of the table, beside him.

He picked his fork up and placed it in his hand.

"Eat." Louis said and Liam nodded.

Slowly he filled his fork up and blew on it, cooling it down and stuck it in his mouth, chewing slowly.

"And you're not allowed to leave this table until all of that food is gone mister." Louis said, pointing a finger at him.

Liam smiled at him and nodded as Harry sat down next to me.

"If you need another pill for your head. Just ask me and I'll get it for you." Harry said to him.

He looked up at him and he seemed to wince and look down at his plate.

"Thanks." He said.

As Louis, Zayn and I talked about an upcoming movie we all wanted to see, Harry and Liam were quiet. Liam was mainly focused on his food but, Harry constantly glanced at him as he listened to our conversation. It was almost like he was waiting for him to say something.

After getting myself seconds, Harry left the table when he was finished and Liam seemed to relax when he did. He got seconds too and actually joined in with the conversation and what was even more stranger. It seemed like I was the only one to notice this.
