Abilities

Chapter 2

Zayn was the first one to wake up. He opened his eyes and he didn't know where he was. His vision was blurry and he had a splitting headache. He tried to move and he realized his hands were chained to the wall behind him. He was confused. He turned to his left and then his right, and let out a breath he didn't know he had been holding. Everyone was there, and from what it seemed no one was seriously hurt. 

Had they been kidnapped? Was there a ransom demanded for them to be returned safely? Why would someone kidnap them? 

Just  then the man who had first tazed Niall came through the door wearing another expensive looking suit. He looks at Zayn and says, "You're the only one awake? Some people can just be so lazy."  Zayn thought he was joking until he walked up to Harry, Niall, Louis, and Liam and kicked each of them in the stomach. Then he waited, until they all looked at him, no doubt wondering who he is, and what was happening.

 He smiles and says "Good. Everyone's awake. Let's get started. You five, against my better judgment, have been handpicked to be in the experiment that will make you more than you ever imagined you could be. The abilities you will come to possess will prove that science can do anything. Any questions?" 

Darius was proud of himself. He came up with the uplifting speech on the spot. He decided that it wasn't time to scare the boys yet, not until they become hard to handle. Or until they pissed him off. 

"Yeah, just one," says Louis, "are you completely crazy? You are talking nonsense, what do you mean possess 'abilities' and what is the experiment you are talking about? And do you really think you'll get away with kidnapping us?" At the last question Louis stood up, his hands were chained to the wall but he wanted to look this man in the eye, and show him he was not afraid. 

"Okay," replies Darius, "I don't like your questions and I do not feel inclined to answer them." He twisted the cuff link on his suit sleeve. 

"I'll make this simple: do what we say or we will hurt them." 

"Hurt who?" asks Harry. 

"Now, please." Is all that Darius says. And in come five people with bags over their heads, escorted by guards. The guards make them kneel, chain them to the wall, and then they pull off the bags. The boys start straining against their chains as they see  Perrie, Eleanor, Danielle, Erin, and Paige.

There is a minute of the boys trying their hardest to get to the girls. They realize they cannot get out of the chains  and they all stare at each other until the man walks up to Erin pulls her hair back, and asks, "Who's is this? Blonde hair, green eyes, about five' five'' the absolute perfect size for... well someone like me."

He leans in and kisses Erin, she tries to pull away but he keeps her in place, when he finally stops she says "Don't you ever touch me again!"  

"And a bitch like you doesn't tell me what to do!" Darius yells as he slaps Erin across the face. 

"You bastard!" Niall shouts, "Don't you ever do that again, I will kill you, I swear I will kill you, don't you ever touch her again!"

 Darius, calm again, says "Oh so Niall and Erin are together. Got it. Next." 

That's when Liam speaks up and says, "I'm with Danielle, Louis is with Eleanor, Zayn and Perrie, and Harry and Paige. Stop. Let us go, I don't understand why you're doing this. If you won't let us go, please let the girls go I know they didn't do anything."

 "You, Liam, I thought were suppose to be the smart one. We did not take you just because you are famous, even though that had a small part in it. We do not want money. We do not want to let you go. We took you all  because you ten were chosen. The perfect age, people that the public will know are missing, people who can get the serum and not die, or so Eric thinks. Anyway we have been experimenting for years, trying to give people what you all would know as 'super powers' but every time we injected them with the serum into someone they would die. However,  it is finally ready, well, 95% ready.  This is the closest we have ever been. There is only a five percent chance you will die. And if you survive each of you will have a unique ability not even we can predict. It just depends on the way your body reacts to the serum. Let's get started."

The guards stood them up and unchained them from the walls. They took each of them by the arm and led them into a brightly lit corridor. It kind of reminded Danielle of a hospital with rooms lining the hallway. 

Darius spoke up from the back of the line, "Harry goes into room one, Liam in two, Danielle in three, Paige in four, Zayn in five, Louis in six, Eleanor in seven, Niall in eight, Erin in nine and Perrie in ten." 

Just  then Liam turns around and punches the guard holding him in the face. The guard stumbles back from he blow, but doesn't go down. He quickly recovers, and goes to grab Laim but he spins out of the way. 

Everyone follows Liam's lead and starts trying to get free, they punch, kick, and claw at  the men holding them. They understand that if they don't get away they will be injected with something that can kill them. They fight with all they got, but  more guards poured out of every room and soon had them all back under control. 

Darius walks up to Liam and punches him right in the face, giving him a bloody nose and a busted lip. "Nice try."

 Darius raises his arm to punch him again when a ll the sudden Louis shouts "Just stop! I don't understand why you chose us or what exactly this serum is. But I will take it and I won't fight it all you have to do is let Eleanor and the other girls go. You can have us, I don't care, we'll do what you want, but let them go, please." 

All the boys agreed with Louis, they would do anything to protect the ones they loved. They looked around at their friends and girlfriends, they were all close to each other but not close enough to touch. 

They said they loved each other, and said their goodbyes in case they died. Darius just looked at them. Emotions didn't fit into his life, he was cold and calculating and didn't have time to fall in love. Love only made you weak. 

"Like I said, Eric picked you. I have no choice over this, or else you wouldn't be in this situation." He turns to the guards, "put them in their rooms and get them ready to be injected."
