Niall's POV

"Then maybe I should just die" I let out a small gasp as I heard those six words spill out of the girl I love lips, my whole body feeling like it was filled with lead.

I know I shouldn't have been spying on the two of them but I couldn't help it, I was suspicious of the reason why Molly only booked 7 flights to Alaska and now I guess I know. She wanted to leave us, me, to see if a guy still loved her 5 years later. I fell to the ground with a soft "thump" my head and heart heavy.

"... that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard anyone say." Zayn's voice drifted back into my mind, I looked up to see Zayn pacing in front of a sobbing Molly, waving his arms wildly and stopping then starting again. I could see he was getting really angry when all of a sudden flames burst out of both his hands, spreading up his arms. The flames started flying onto the trees and ground trapping Molly and Zayn, even though Zayn wasn't being affected by the flames.

I was stuck in place not knowing what to do or how to help, until I heard a scream that made my blood freeze. Molly. I looked trying to see through the flames and saw her panicking carrying a passed out Zayn over her shoulder, the fire circling closer and closer to them. In her panic she looked over towards the direction I was in, we made eye contact and then a branch fell from the tree above her and landed with a bang.

"MOLLY!" I screamed my heart racing, I ran around glancing through the flames trying to find her, as I was peering through I felt a gust of wind and then a body fly up and out of the flames the body landed 5 feet from me and I saw that it was Zayn, who, slowly was gaining consciousness.

I felt another gust of air and looked up waiting to see Molly emerge as well, instead I felt wind tickling my ears and the back of my neck. "Niall, baby, I'm sorry, I love you" I heard the soft whispers of Molly's voice through the wind. "No, no no no no, NO! You can't die, not yet, not ever, we were meant to have forever!" I screamed and yelled, and in doing so I didn't notice I started crying.

The fire was starting to spread but I couldn't move. A feeling of calm suddenly washed over me. Without thinking I stepped toward the fire, feeling the heat but I continued, I took a step into the fire the heat extreme but I felt no pain. I started running forward navigating my way through the flames to where Molly was last. I ran and ran until I saw the fallen tree branch, completely submerged in flames. My breath caught in my throat as I walked around and saw Molly laying there her foot twisted under the branch.

I had to remind myself to breathe as I walked over to her, I gently shook Mollys shoulder to see if she would wake up. "Molly, please, baby" I cried as she didn't respond. In anger I kicked the branch away freeing her foot. I picked her up softly in my arms and felt the calm spread over my finger tips and over Mollys body. So I guess my power is protection or something, I thought to myself.

As I kept walking I noticed the flames were starting to diminish slowly until all at once they lifted off of what they were burning and I watched in amazement as the flames zipped away, that was when I noticed the figure standing in between all the flames, Zayn.

The flames moved like magic and as soon as they touched him they disappeared. Once all the flames were gone I ran over to him, careful to not jostle Molly around too much. "Zayn! Are you ok?" I asked hurriedly catching him as he started to fall. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine, did, did you get Molly?" He asked his eyes burning with fear and anxiety.

"Yeah, I got her mate, but I don't know how she is." I sighed looking at her passed out in my arms. I hesitantly placed my fingers on her neck checking for a pulse, I waited, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, and nothing. But as a minute was about to pass I felt a minuscule beat of her heart.

I exhaled sharply in relief, tears falling off of my face onto Molly's. "She's ok." I whispered more to myself than to Zayn, but his face lit up with relief. "Thank god, I thought I'd killed her." He said before he started crying. "I lost my temper for one minute and nearly killed your mate, I'm so sorry please forgive me." Zayn was sobbing hysterically.

I was about to reply when I heard a soft groan and felt movement in my arms. I looked down to see Mollys eyes slowly flutter open and look into mine, confusion clouding her hazel eyes. "Is this heaven?" She said looking around seeing the half burnt section of the clearing and then seeing Zayn, then looking to me again. "No, this isn't right, you're not meant to be dead neither of you are." Molly started mumbling to herself starting to get up and stumble away from us.

I got up to go after her following a step behind in case she starts to fall. "Molly" I say, softly grabbing her wrist intwining our hands together. "This is real, you're alive, I saved you, baby you're ok." I stared into her eyes as they looked curiously back into mine. "But that's impossible, cause I remember seeing you, then getting trapped under the branch, then only having enough strength to get Zayn out of the fire and to send you that message. How did you get into the fire with out getting hurt, how are you not hurt??" Molly rambled checking my hands, arms and face.

"I got my power, I got it because I refused to let you die in there without me, without us being together." Molly looked at me for a few seconds before she started crying, falling into my open arms. "Y-you saved me." She sobbed crying in the crook of my neck. "I saved you, you're ok, I love you." I whispered smoothing down her hair, which was slightly burnt off, that's when I looked down at her and realised her clothes had basically burnt off, parts of her skin blistering, without thinking I took off my shirt and put it on over her, kissing the top of her head.

Zayn slowly approached us a solemn look on his face. "Molly.. I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have lost my temper like that, i didn't even know I could do that! And you didn't have to save me you could have saved yourself, I'll never be able to forgive myself. I am truely so sorry." Zayn rambled on and then with my help Molly stood and hugged Zayn tight. "I forgive you, it's not your fault. I saved you because I knew you would figure out how to stop the fire, I had faith in you." She kissed his cheek then came back to my side.

"Wait, how did you find us in the first place?" Molly turned to look expectantly at me, waiting for an explanation. "Oh um, I-I uh, well you see." I stuttered and stammered trying to think of a reasonable explanation. "I called to him through our mind link." Zayn said stepping closer. "When I lost control I only had a moment before I passed out and I called out to the first person who came to mind, Niall." Zayn elaborated when Molly gave him a confused look. "Yeah I only just heard it and I ran like hell trying to find you." I added mentally praising Zayn for coming up with the lie.

"Oh ok, well thank goodness you called for him, otherwise it might have ended differently." Molly sighed and leant against me. "Want to go back?" I asked softly leaning down so my lips met her ear, "I can carry you if you want." I kissed the side of her head and she nodded slowly wincing as she moved her head to quickly. I swiftly picked her up bridal style and Zayn and I walked to the camp, Molly passed out in my arms mumbling nonsense about Australia and whispering my name.
