One Direction Vs. 5SOS

Chapter 42

Harry's P.O.V.

I watched the grey smoke float in the air as Kiana walked around me.

"Good." She said. "Now as you push all that negativity out, imagine it lifting above your head like a cloud."

We shall help you sir. The woman's voice said.

As always. The male voice said.

I looked down at the floor as I did what she said. As I let go, I felt more relaxed like a weight was being lifting off my shoulders.

I blinked, my vision becoming clear as I listened. I listened to the click of Kiana's heels as she walked around me, holding a tiny bowl of the burning sage as she waved the smoke towards me with a long brown feather.

A couple of rooms down I could hear the boys silently watching TV and I could feel their worry and fear for me.

"Kiana." I said.

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry."

She stood in front of me.

"For what?" She asked me, looking down at me.

"For letting him in." I said.

"It's not all your fault sweetie. He preys on people when they're at their most vulnerable and tricks them into letting him use their body. That's just the way he plays." She said.

"But he's going to do it to someone else."

Her sad eyes looked down.

"You can't save everyone Harry. You know that." She said, looking back up at me. "For there to be balance on earth. There must be Evil and Good. Life and Death. Love and Hate. Darkness and Light. That's just the way life is supposed to be."

She sat the feather and bowl down.

"Even though at times it feels like there's more darkness than light. Eventually, everything will balance out again." She said, handing me a glass of clear brown liquid.

"Here, it'll make you feel better."

I toke it and toke a sip, realizing it was apple juice mixed with something else. She walked across the room and opened a window, letting some fresh cold air in.

"Do you still want me to perform the ritual tonight?" She asked me, turning to me.

"Yes Please. Whenever you can." I said.

"Okay. I'll have to buy some more herbs but, I'll be back in an hour." She said, unlocking the door. "You can finally see your boys again. All of that bad stuff is finally out of you."

I got out of the chair and made my way to Kiana, looking down at her.

"Thank you for everything."

"Don't mention it." She smiled.

Niall's P.O.V.

I feel much better knowing that Harry was himself again. We were so relieved to finally see him and wouldn't let him go until Kiana came back.

She was going to do some kind of ritual that was going to help us with our powers. She was covered in a long black shawl with the full moon on the back of it and her arms were covered in bracelets with dark colored beads on them.

She had a determined look on her face as she drew a pentagram on the floor with black charcoal, staining her hands in black.

Aren't pentagrams bad? Liam thought.
