Through the Enlightenment (Harry Styles)[Bk.3]

47. Faint Signs

Harry's POV

After a lot of searching between the three of us we finally found Elizabeth passed out deep in the woods. She didn't appeared to be harmed but I can't wait to have her in our bed and for her to wake up to make sure that she really isn't. Swiftly, climbing out of the car I dashed over to her side opening the door.

"Alright, get off Misty." I say to her as she rested on Elizabeth's lap. She stood up and jumped out of the car. I lean over unbuckling Elizabeth's seatbelt before carefully pulling her out of the car into my arms. I frown, feeling on edge that she still has not woken up yet.

Once I unlock the house and take her upstairs, I gently place Elizabeth in bed covering her with the blankets.

"It would be very useful if you would wake up right now, love." I mutter, pushing her hair away from her face. I sigh pursing my lips.

"I promise, I'll be better next time." I whisper, my voice filled with guilt. Suddenly, my phone rings in my back pocket breaking the agonizing silence around us.

I sigh, pulling my phone out of my pocket bringing it to my ear.

"Yes Niall?" I answer.

"She awake?"

"No, I just put her into bed." I say walking towards our bedroom door. "But I have no idea why she hasn't woken up yet." I add leaving the bedroom but not after stealing once more glance over to her.

Elizabeth's POV

I let out a small sigh, slowly blinking my eyes open before my vision finally came into focus. I turn my head, my eyes taking in my surroundings seeing we were back home.

What happened?

I frown, sitting up in bed, feeling a slight pain in my head; hearing a faint sound of running water from the bathroom.

"Harry?" I call out, rubbing the side of my head with my hand.

The sound of running water stops before Harry comes into view, dressed only in his grey sweatpants; hanging low on his hips. His face immediately lighting up with relief.

"Hey, baby." Harry says turning off the light before making his way towards me. "You're awake. I was starting to freak out."

"Are you alright?" He asks, coming around to my side of the bed, sitting down in front of me.

"My head hurts that's all." I reply in a quiet voice. "What happened? When did we get home?"

"A few hours ago." Harry replies, placing his hand on my knee.

"Baby, I'm so sorry. They were just so many..." Harry trails shaking his head, his voice sounding sad and guilty. "I tried to fight them off but...they took down Liam them me and then... the next thing I knew you were gone."

"What happened? Did they do anything to you?" Harry asks, diverting his worried filled eyes onto me.

"Um..." I say trying to comb back through my mind. "Well at first I got shoved against a tree and the same guy that I bumped into back at the house was the one that caused it."

"He tossed me around on the ground and he wondered why I wasn't fighting back; like he was expecting me to do something to him or at least not be so vulnerable." I continue, a frown taking over Harry's features. "Then all of sudden a few more emerged from behind the trees and the last thing I remember was him saying that they had big plans for me before a sharp pain was caused in my head and...I eventually blacked out."

"Are you hurting anywhere else?" Harry scowls.

I shake my head. "No. Maybe they just wanted to mess with us this time around."
