Taking Risks

T H I R T E E N : THE MANSION

QUICK A/N:
There are a lot of shifting P.O.V.'s on this one and on the next so, look out :) And Avery wears the dress included in this chapter

"Someday... maybe when this is all over, I'll still fight for you 'till my very last breath."

AVERY'S P.O.V.

Tonight is the night that we've all been waiting for.

I slipped on my red dress and looked at myself in front of the mirror. I can't even recognize that this girl was part of a broken family, a girl who kidnaps people for a living...

Though months only passed since the trainee days, we managed to grow together even if we don't really rely on each other that much. We're all plastics...still, we endured enough days to live with knowing that. We can't really trust anyone. The boys learned their lesson by now. One Direction's management is fully aware that they got kidnapped by us. They know they're alive and well. After tonight's event, everything will change.

"You all have the choice. The choice to leave and be free, or stick with the plan. Remember the trackers."

God. The trackers. I remember that I am also part of the group of people that may want to try to run away. "Are your guns ready?" Matt asked us. I can finally use this for real tonight. I'm so pumped and I don't even know how to describe it. "We're loaded" Levi answered. "Okay, great. Head towards the garage and do the plan perfectly. Good luck to us." Matt dismissed us and we walked towards the exit of the place that we're staying in. Harry guided me towards the passenger's seat of a top-down Ashton Martin and he himself drove it to where we're going.

I finally became comfortable with Harry. But I do know that everything that we're going for can turn away from us in just a second. The four boys never really knew what is happening between us two and me, myself is not aware of what we are and what are we doing this for. I get how being away from people does really have its drawbacks. Being lonely is hard and I guess our feeling are both mutual. I never really reciprocated much of his affections, but I do like him since the day he kissed me.... and I like him even more now.

"Are you ready, babe?" Harry asked. "All set." I replied back as I went out of the car and into the big golden doors of this mansion. Harry soon walked up right next to me after handling the keys to the valet. We walked inside and I immediately feel special. This house is full of golden sculptures, a big ass fountain in front that makes you feel as if you're in great gatsby. My thoughts are interrupted with a voice coming from my earpiece. "M, can you hear me?" Levi. "Uh-huh." I answered back. Harry got two cocktails from a nearby table and spiked the other one and handed it over to me. "Grafscher is on the second level. Drinking with other girls. Get to him asap." "copy."

ZAYN'S P.O.V.

I immediately tried to catch this girl's eye. She is pretty sexy to be honest. I need her to get away from this man as much as possible. We don't want our plan to start into a cat fight with Margaux being here.

I raised my glass of vodka towards the girl and she slowly tried to tear herself away from Grafscher. Uh-oh... the big guy isn't too happy about it. Shit...

"Having a lovely time?.." a girl next to him asked. His eyes immediately twinkled as he indulged in Margaux's body. A tall blonde girl is blocking my view already. "I think I've seen you before.." I bit my lip "Ever heard of Zayn Malik?"

Good luck, M.

AVERY'S P.O.V.

"Having a lovely time?.." Grafscher looked at me as if I was a fucking trophy. Yuck. "It became better when you walked in" he smiled at me as he takes my hand and directs me to sit on his lap. "Your mansion is outstanding, Mister Grafscher. It probably took a long time before it got to this, isn't it?" I placed one of my hands on top of his left thigh. I can feel his body tense. "Of course, darling. It's all of the hardwork, paying off, one-" he scans his hand all over my back. "-by one." and landed his hand under my right breast. This son of a bitch. "I actually brought this drink for you, love. It would be such a waste if you didn't drink it." I offered him the glass. His face lit up and motioned one of his security guards to go near him. "Check." He gave the glass towards the man as he smiles up to me. "You know, when you're wealthy enough to be known, a lot may try to kill you." I laughed at this. I placed my lips near his ear and said-"Just trust me.." The guard took a sip and handed it back to Grafscher. "Cleared, sir."
