"No, please! Don't hurt him!" I cried as I pulled on my restraints.

My mother smirked evilly at me before dragging the knife across Louis' neck. I screamed in horror as Louis stopped struggling and his head rolled back.

"No! Louis!" I shouted.

I shot up from bed, panting heavily as I tried to calm down. My hand landed on Louis' arm, which was still wrapped around me, making me sigh in relief.

"Baby? You okay?" Louis said in a sleepy voice as he sat up.

"I'm fine. Just a nightmare" I said as I hugged him tightly, burying my face in his neck.

Louis wrapped his arms around me in a hug as he rubbed my back.

"I'll go get you some water" Louis said as he pulled back.

I kept my hands around his arms as I shook my head, in fear of something happening to him out of the room.

"No, I'll go get it. Just go back to sleep" I said as I lightly tugged him towards me.

Louis shook his head and planted a kiss on my lips.

"I'll be right back" Louis said.

I nodded slowly as I reluctantly let go of him and watched him walk out of the room.

I moved to the edge of the bed and sat properly. Why did I dream about that? Come to think of it, I haven't even thought about our parents since Louis proposed. Why now? Maybe it's some kind of sign?

My head snapped towards the door as I heard the creaking of the floorboards.

"Lou?" I called out, softly.

A figure stepped into the room and my eyes widened as I saw the familiar face of my mother.

"How did you get in here? Where's Louis? What did you do to him?" I asked.

"Don't worry. We left your husband completely unharmed. He doesn't even know we're here" my poor excuse of a mother, Alyssa, said.

I narrowed my eyes at her.

"We? What do you mean w-" I said, getting cut off by cloth covering my mouth.

A hand wrapped around my mid-section as I thrashed around, trying to get out of the person's grip.

"Don't worry, sweety, we'll leave your husband perfectly healthy. Physically, that is" my father, Shawn, whispered in my ear from behind me.

I felt myself start to get droopy as footsteps sounded from the stairs. Louis.

"Let's go" Alyssa said.

I felt Shawn remove the cloth from my face and carry me somewhere before I fell unconscious.

=Sophia=
I heard my phone ring from our bedside table making me groan as I woke up from my sleep. I reached for it and answered the call.

"Hello?" I mumbled.

"Sophia! Thank god you picked up!" Louis' voice said from the other line. It sounded like he was crying.

"What do you want, Lou?" I answered.

"Athena's missing!" Louis said in a panicked voice.

"Uh huh. I'm sure you two- Wait, what!?" I said, shooting up from the bed as my brain registered what he just said.

"You heard me! She's gone!" Louis said.

"Have you checked the whole house!?" I asked.

Niall sat up and looked at me.
