Elizabeth's POV

"Alright Eleanor, let's take these boxes to the car and then we will come back to the gym with Harry, Louis and Niall." I say as we both walk out of my dad's lab.

It was now after school, the halls were empty and Eleanor decided to come with me to my dad's lab so the boys could have another session of training. Well to be more exact, Niall wanted Harry to have another session which I'm assuming he is going over whatever the hell our teacher was discussing in class today.

I'm happy that Niall and Harry fixed their rough patch, it's so much easier having them both around now that they are no longer arguing. I am also thankful that Niall is willing to help out Harry so much.

"Here give me the box so you can close the door." Eleanor says lowering her arms a bit so I can place my box on top of hers. Once I do, I turn around shutting the door before locking it with the key that Mr. Heartwood have me earlier.

"Alright let's go." I smile, shoving the key into my jean pocket before grabbing my box from her.

As soon as we both step outside I regret my decision of not wearing a jacket this morning. The night wasn't particularly cold but the constant breeze blowing around was; hopefully Harry left one of his sweaters in the car. While we walked I glanced up at the sky to look at the stars but unfortunately my view was covered by a thin layer of clouds.

I grab the car keys from my jean pocket pressing the button on the small remote making it beep once before it unlocked and roared the engine to life. I walked one way while Eleanor walked around to the other side, both of us opened the back doors placing our boxes on the back seat.

"Here, let's sit in the car for a while to get warmed up. Plus, I have to see if Harry left his sweater here." I say to Eleanor before closing the door.

I open the driver side door climbing in as Eleanor climbed into the seat beside me closing the door.

"It is a bit chilly." She comments as I reach over turning on the heater.

"Thank you for helping me." I say after a moment of silence.

"No problem."

"Alright, now, let's see if Harry's sweater is back here." I say turning around in my seat to look at the back. My eyes scan the back seat before moving to the floor. I smile spotting his grey hoodie on the floor behind Eleanor's seat.

"There it is." I say before leaning over, reaching out with my arm trying to get hold of it. My fingers barely touched the soft material when a metal bang came from the front of the car making me jump.

"What the hell?" I say turning around looking out the front window seeing nothing but black.

"It's probably just Louis messing with us. You know how he is." Eleanor comments as I sit upright in my seat reaching over to the control turning on the car's headlights. I first turn on the low beams scanning around in front of us seeing nothing.

"See? It's just Louis being an idiot."

I say nothing at her words, frowning, squinting my eyes as I turn on the headlights next and my eyes slowly widen seeing two pairs of eyes glowing in the distance hiding in the trees, inside the school property, as the light shined on them.

"Elizabeth...get us out of here." Eleanor breathes beside me.

"Put on your seatbelt." I say quickly buckling mine before grabbing the console shifting into to drive, slamming my foot on the gas driving out of the school gates.

"How the hell did they even get inside?" Eleanor asks in panic as I drove further away from the school looking in my rear view mirror. A few screeching growls could be heard as I see the two devil hounds chasing after the car.
