Thr33 (One Direction FanFic AU!)

Chapter Three

Niall’s POV

The lads and I walk out of our basement and leave the girls alone. I sit on the couch and Harry and Zayn make their way to the kitchen. I flip on the tele and drown out the screams from the basement. If only they knew no one can hear anything outside of this home. Idiots.

“Hey I’m running to the store.” Zayn yells and I face him confused.

“Why?”

“We need food for one. And they will need... products.” Harry and I nod and Zayn walks out the house.

To most people it looks like a normal place. Simple layout with two stories. Too bad they don’t know that our basement is our torture lair. That’s where we do all our dirty work. I don’t really know how we got started. Zayn, Harry, and I have been friends for a few years and one day Zayn had this sinister idea. I didn’t think he was being serious until we got our first victims. Pity really. They had a long life ahead of them. I laugh at my own joke. Hey I know. I’m pretty fucked up in the head but aren’t we all.

“Haz!” I whine and Harry chuckles from the kitchen.

“What Nialler?”

“I’m hungry!” I yell and walk into the kitchen.

“Well Zayn is getting food. But here take these crisp.” Harry hands me two bags and I smile.

“Thanks!” I rip one bag open and stuff the other in my pocket.

I walk back to the living room and sit on the couch with Harry trailing behind me. He’s the youngest out of us and sometimes I wonder how what we do affects him. He sits on the recliner and lays his head back. I land on the news channel right when Zayn gets back.

“Breaking news. Three girls have went missing as of last night. Friends and family have reported the three missing when no one was able to contact them. No names have been released but these are the pictures of the three girls that were seen leaving a downtown club late last night. If you have any information contact your local police station.” The news anchor finishes and moves on to the next story.

“Well that story broke fast.” I chuckle and Zayn does the same, but Harry stays quiet.

“What is it Har...”

“Shh. Do you hear that?” Zayn and I listen but hear nothing.

“I don’t hear anything.” I speak and Harry nods.

“Exactly.” He stands from the recliner and heads to the basement.

We all walk down and see all the girls. Their make up from last night has run from all their crying and they look at us with fear and hate. Harry walks up to Harley and smirks when she jerks her face away from his grasp.

“Why are you all so quiet?” He looks at Emily and Clover this time and they shake their heads.

“Aw don’t go silent on us now. I thought we were having fun.” Zayn smiles and I nod. I watch as Emily rolls her hips from side to side but keeps silent.

“What’s wrong Em?” I ask stepping toward her and her eyes meet mine and she looks pissed.

“She has to use the bathroom.” Harley speaks and my eyes never leave Emily’s.

“Niall take her to the bathroom. And I’m guessing you two have to go as well?” Harry speaks and the other two girls nod.

I get the key from Zayn and unlock Emily’s wrist before standing her up and untying her feet. I watch as she tries to bring her knee up to hit me but I grab it just in time. She stumbles back a little and runs into the pole she was just connected to. I keep a firm grip on her and bring my knife up to her neck.

“Do you have to go to the fuckng restroom or not?” I spit and she flinches at my tone.

“Ye... Yes.”

“Then let’s go. Pull some more shit like that and I will slice your neck got it?” She nods and I yank her arm pulling her up the stairs.

I grab a blindfold from my jeans and wrap it around her eyes when we reach the top of the stairs. I lead her to the restroom and she wiggles in my grip. I’m not sure if it’s because she has to use the restroom or because she’s trying to get away. We finally reach the hallway and I push her in the bathroom taking off her blindfold as I do. She turns around facing me with a confused look.

“What?” I ask playing with my knife.

“Aren’t you going to leave so I can pee?”

“No.” I laugh at her facial expression.

“What do you mean no? I can’t just...”

“Look I can drag your ass right back down the stairs and tie you back up if I want too. Now use the toilet.”

“Fine. But will you at least turn around?” She asks and I nod turning to face the door.

“So how’s life?” I speak facing the door and hear her scoff.

“If you’re trying to be funny, stop.” I hear the toilet flush and turn back to face her. “Well will you move so I can wash my hands?” I smirk and step to the side. I hear a strange noise and notice what it is.

“You hungry?” She looks at me through the mirror before cleaning her face up a little and drying her hands on her torn dress. I have to remember to tell the boys we should change their outfits.

“Obviously. I haven’t eaten all day.”  She rolls her eyes and I give her the extra bag of crisps Harry gave me earlier. She eyes them suspiciously before taking them out of my hand. “Did you poison these?”

“No I didn’t poison them. Now do you want them or not.”

“Fine. No need to be all snippy.” I smirk at her and she avoids my eyes while she eats. She finishes the pack and hands me the empty bag. “Thanks.”

“No problem. Now let’s go before the lads get suspicious.” She sighs and nods placing the blindfold back on.

I take us back to the basement and tie her back up avoiding the questionable looks from Harry and Zayn. I take off her blindfold and Emily sighs and rest her head on the pole she is once again  attached to. I step back and face Harry and Zayn.

“What took you so long Niall?” Zayn whispers and grabs my arm. I snatch it away from him and roll my eyes.

“We had a disagreement and it took her a long time to piss.” Zayn narrows his eyes at me and Harry cuts the tension.

“Alright which one next?”

“I’ll take Clover.” Zayn smirks and Clover rolls her eyes obviously not wanting to give into Zayn’s games.

Harry and I nod and Zayn takes his prey up the stairs and follows the routine I did. When he returns Harry takes Harley up to do the same when he returns and ties her back up I face the boys.

“Shouldn’t we change their clothing?” Zayn peeks around my shoulder and then back to me.

“Fine. Harry run upstairs and grab three jumpers and some sweats.” Zayn commands and like always Harry does what he’s told.

“I’m going to run and get them some water. Gotta keep em hydrated now don’t we.” Zayn speaks like he’s talking to dogs and I laugh a little. “You’ll be fine down here alone?”

“Yeah Z. I’ll be fine.” I shoo him off and face the three girls.

Two of which have hateful eyes but one doesn’t. Emily. She just looks confused and sighs once again. The other two look at her and she shakes her head. It’s like they are having a silent conversation. I shake my head and run my tongue along my lip piercings. Girls. Harry comes back down along with Zayn.

“Now let’s get you girls changed!” Zayn claps and they all shake their heads.

“Can’t we change ourselves?” Clover speaks and Zayn just shakes his head.

“Now what fun would that be Clo Clo.” He smiles and she groans. “Niall give me your knife.” He sticks his hand out and I do. This should be fun.
