Down to the Last One... (Liam's Story)

Chapter One

I flick the attic lights on and look around for Louis. "Louis! Please, don't leave me!" I crawl up, so I'm in the room fully.

Suddenly the basement door shuts and the light turns off. I hold my breath, feeling around the floor for the door handle as I do. When I find it, I try to turn it but I can't.

NO!

I try turning the handle more and more.

NOOO! I'M LOCKED IN.

"LOUIS PLEASE!" I nearly scream for him, "LOUIS WHERE ARE YOU!?" I yell even louder and slowly let go of the handle, listening for an answer.

"L...Li-Liam..?" I hear Louis' whisper, faintly, down in the corner of this room.

"LOUIS!" I gasp and crawl towards his whisper, biting down on my lip and the room gets colder and colder. "Louis talk to me, let me hear you." I say, shivering.

"L-Liam... ple-please help me..." He whispers again, pain in his voice.

"I coming Louis, stay calm, don't move." I say, breathing heavier as it gets colder and colder as I get closer to Louis. I follow his voice, towards the corner still, putting up my hand now and then just in case I'm going to crash into something.

*BANG BANG BANG* I jump in fright as I hear banging from the attic door. I stay strong and keep crawling to Louis, why do we have an incredibly large attic?

*BANG BANG BANG* The banging comes back, making me jump again, but I still hold in my fear and crawl towards Louis.

I bring my hand up in front of me as I crawl more. As I crawl closer, my hand freezes as it touches something. As I touch something. It feels like a stone-cold, slightly wrinkly FACE.

"L-Louis...?" I say as my whole body shakes. "LOUIS!!?? IS THIS YOUR FACE I'M TOUCHING PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS YOUR FACE."

"L-Liam, you're n-no where near me... h-elp me.." Louis' whisper was NOT in front of me, so I immediately take my hand back.

WHAT THE-

I lift my hand again and swing it across where I had just felt the face. It's not there anymore.

I hold my breath, and my whole body is freezing. (You should play the youtube video now.)

"Liam.... I c-can't... breathe..." I hear Louis taking deep, painful-sounding breaths, as he whispers again. "Don't let me go..." His voice fades and I crawl faster until I bump into his body.

"Louis!?" I pick him up, into my arms, but he doesn't make a sound. I'm literally frozen to the bone right now, why is it so cold. It should be hot, there's no windows in here!

"LOUIS?" I say again and put my ear to his chest, listening to his heart. It's going faster and faster. "Louis no..." I cry as his head starts to rest and fall into my chest. "I wont let you go, Louis..." I cry more, hugging him tight.

*BANG BANG BANG*

I ignore the bangs and listen to Louis' last heart beats... My tears soak Louis top as I sob more.

No! Louis! NO!

His heart stops beating and my tears go everywhere. "Louis! No!"

*BANG* The basement door opens and on goes the light. "LIAM? LOUIS?"

I look straight at Louis' pale face and blue lips... then my eyes fall down to the red marks on his neck, looking like hand prints..! "AH!!!" I gasp in shock, crying more as I look down his body, finding the same marks on his lower shoulders.

"Liam!?" Harry's voice is right behind me now. "LIAM! LOUIS! WHAT HAPPENED!" Harry falls to his knees, bursting with tears beside Louis.

I couldn't talk, I just cried more, and kept my breathing going, as I look to his hands... his white hands... I bring my hand to his and holds it. His hand is FREEZING.

"LOUIS NO!" Harry coughs out and strokes his hair, "Why you? .... I... I love you Louis.." He covers his face and cries.

"I love you Louis, too!" I choke out and hug him more.

"Liam, Harry, Louis?!" Niall and Zayn come up to the basement and looks around. They freeze as they see us, but run up to us anyway, kneeling down to Louis. "LOUIS!!! NO!! WHAT HAPPENED!!" Niall and Zayn also cry and stare at Louis' white body.

We stay there for a while, just crying waterfalls. Why LOUIS! WHY US.

"W-we should take him down to the lounge..." I whisper, "It's f-freezing." The boys slowly nod. We all follow Harry down to the lounge, while he carries Louis.
