Harry's POV:

Liam. 

Liam was in our house in the middle of nowhere. He had somehow found us here and was now in our living room probably ready to kill me. I knew that's all that he wanted. He wanted me dead. He wanted Zayn to watch as he dismembered me and made me into some sort of appetizer! 

"What the fuck are you doing here?", Zayn's words were laced with venom and I'd be surprised if they alone didn't kill Liam. 

"H-hear me out, Z.", Liam coughed out. He sounded different. He wasn't the same maniacal coven leader that was haunting me. He seemed broken.

That statement made Zayn's aura completely change. There was only a small trace of the orange that was usually there and the red was now flaring up. I could only imagine what my normally laid back boyfriend looked like right now. His fists were probably clenched up in balls so tight that his knuckles were turning white and his palms were being ripped open by his sharp fingernails. 

"Hear you out?! Hear you out?! I shouldn't even be letting you talk right now! You should be dead on this floor! If I didn't need to utilize you then you would already be a worthless carcass taking up space in my living room! You're lucky that you're half dead already because if you stepped foot into this house at full strength I wouldn't even give you a chance to breathe!"

Liam coughed again and I saw a black flood into his purple aura. Well that was weird. I had never witnessed a black aura before. I knew Zayn wanted to beat the living shit out of Liam but what if he really did need his help?

I knew I was entering dangerous territory but against my better judgement I grabbed Zayn by the shoulder and turned him towards me. He was fighting against my pull but eventually he faced me, his fury still very noticeable. 

He didn't say anything so I started to speak, "Zayn. Just keep calm, ok?"

"Calm? Harry do you know who this is?! This is the man that is trying to take your life! He's the reason you're blind! He's the reason we had to move and the reason that our lives are far more difficult than they need to be! He's gone and fucked everything up and he's literally trying to destroy us both and you want me to stay calm with him being three feet in front of us?!"

I knew what Zayn was getting at. Of course I understood but there was a part of me that made me believe we should actually listen to what Liam had to say about this. Maybe he still was the evil bastard that he was months ago but there was also a chance that something terrible could be happening and he actually needed help. 

I grabbed my fiance's hand and lowered my voice to a whisper, "I just think that we should listen to what he has to say. I know you're mad. I know you don't want him anywhere near us but if he really still desired to kill us I believe he would've done it by now. He wouldn't come stumbling into our house, knocking things over if he didn't need help. And it must be something serious if he risked his life to come here begging for our help of all people."

Zayn was silent but I noticed the red in his aura was fading away very slowly. I felt the tension in his body going away as we stood there next to each other. We just took comfort in being so close to one another until a dreadful coughing sound erupted from the ground next to us. 

"Could you fucking stop that? You're getting your blood vomit all over my carpet.", Zayn spat at Liam.

Hesitantly I knelt down about a foot away from Liam, now understanding that the black aura probably was a cause of the pain he was feeling, and sighed as Zayn tried to pull me away from him.

"Zayn, I'm fine. His aura is telling me that he's in severe pain and doesn't have much energy left. He can't hurt me."

Zayn must have trusted my intuition because he let go of me and took one step back to give me some room. Just as I was about to ask Liam a question I heard the door fling open and quickly shot my head up to see the familiar blue and green auras walking through it. 

"Bloody hell, Niall. I've told you about a million times now that you can't be running around like a lunatic. Those people almost saw us and we promised Harry that we would do our best to stop killing innocents. I don't want to be th-", Louis' voice abruptly came to a halt as did his and Niall's auras. 

After a few seconds of silence Liam coughed out, "Hey Lou."

"L-Liam? What are you doing here? What in the world happened to you?", Louis rushed over to Liam who was still on the floor next to me. 

"Oh you know, just lying around.", Liam joked halfheartedly. 

Louis didn't say anything but I could see the anger once again rising in Zayn's aura. I knew that Liam and Louis were once best friends and I could only assume that Zayn hated that Louis was still so casual when he was around him. 

"What's going on, Liam? Why are you here?", Louis' voice was laced with concern. 

Liam sighed, "I need your help, Louis. It's Simon. He's back to reclaim what's his. He wants the coven and he's stopping at nothing to get it. He...he killed Andy. He ripped his head off right in front of me and I couldn't do anything to save him..." Liam's aura began swirling with different shades of purples and blues mixed in with the black that was still very prominent. He was extremely heart broken about Andy dying. It was devastating. His voice was shaky but as he continued it became hard and angry, "He needs to be stopped, Louis. I tried to kill him but he's too strong. I almost died out there but luckily I figured out where you lot were staying. He'll find out where I've gone though and if we don't kill him then we're all dead. I can't beat him alone."

"Zayn?", Louis spoke up. "What do you think?"

Zayn sighed and got closer to where we were on the ground, "If we help you then you owe us. And I can't assure you that you'll be living for much longer after he is." 

"He just needs to die.", Liam stated coldly.

"Well", Zayn said. "We better get ready for a fight."
