Zalien Invazion

69

     Liam takes in a deep breath of air then slowly let's it out as he presses a green button next to the door and the door slides open. He  sighs in relief and says a silent thank you to Harry who must have disabled all the pass codes too.
     With his heart beating out of his chest, Liam finally enters the freezing dark room and walks up to a metal table n the middle of the room where Zayn's body lay. He was amazed that all of this had worked out so smoothly and he had somehow found him, even when all odds were against him. He had found Zayn. But he had no clue what to do now. He never planned on actually getting this far.
     But with a nervous breath, Liam steps closer to the center of the room and rests his hands on the edge of the gray cold table.
     Lying here in the dim light, Zayn didn't even look real. He looked like some creepy mannequin frozen in time. Liam couldn't even tell if he was breathing and he looked like he was dead. His face was sunken in and his skin was a sickly pale shade of white. He wore a light gray uniform and all of his beautiful dark hair had been shaved off. 
        "Zaynie...." Liam whispers quietly as he reaches out to caress Zayn's hard, lifeless face.
"Zayn?" Liam repeats hesitantly as he gently strokes his skin.
      "Li-Liam?" Zayn mumbles weakly as he slowly opens his eyes and looks up at Liam as best he can. Liam gasps in disbelief then steps back in surprise.
     "Liam..... What's wrong?" Zayn asks worriedly, his voice strained and weak as Liam keeps his distance from him.
     "Y-you're eyes," Liam stutters in surprise. 
      "What?" Zayn repeats worriedly.
      "They're..... They're actually glowing. And they're green," Liam states in amazement as he stares at Zayn with wide, worried eyes. Zayn looks up at him in confusion.
     "No.... No they're brown. I remember," Zayn insists quietly.
     "No Zayn. They're green!" Liam states in shock and Zayn looks so confused like he might  actually cry.
     "fuck it doesn't matter what color your eyes eyes are. All that matters is that you're alive," Liam says as he runs his fingers over Zayn's cheeks, his neck, his head, taking in the rest of his body with sad rejoicing tears in his eyes.
On top of everything mentioned before, It looked like Zayn had also lost 30 pounds over night and he was already so skinny to begin with, but He was still the same beautiful Zayn that Liam loved more than anything else.
      "God I was so fucking worried about you...." Liam mutters as he rests his forehead against Zayn's chest, just reveling in his low heartbeat and his presence.
       "You found me," Zayn states quietly with a pleased little smile.
       "Of course I found you. I never stopped looking, you ztupid brownie," Liam tells him with a short laugh. Zayn laughs and turns his head slightly to see Liam better.
        "Liam .... Your cheek!" Zayn gasps slightly when he notices the small scrape on Liam's cheek from where he had been forced to the sidewalk when fighting with the soldiers the night before.
      "You're hurt! Are you okay?! What happened to you?" Zayn worries as he forces himself to sit up on the table to examine Liam's face better.
       "Don't worry about me zee  I'm fine," Liam assures him with a smile as he carefully pushes Zayn's hand away."you should worry more about yourself babe," he adds as he runs his hand over Zayn's head then softly kisses him. Zayn stares up at Liam and then shakes his head slowly.
      "C'mon. We don't have much time. We gotta get you out of here," Liam finally states, tired of wasting so much precious time. He scoops Zayn's fragile skeleton of a body into his arms. Zayn groans and rests a hand on his stomach with a pained grimace on his face.
      "You okay?" Liam asks worriedly, his face set in a deep look of concern.
      Zayn nods and squeezes his now-green eyes shut and curls up into a little ball and rests the side of his face against Liam's chest.
      "Hopefully it's as easy getting out of here as getting in...." Liam comments as he walks through the door with Zayn in his arms. He closes the door behind himself to try and alleviate any suspicion. As Liam carries him, Zayn gasps and groans quietly.
       "I'm sorry if I'm hurting you Zaynie baby," Liam apologizes guiltily.
      "You're okay," Zayn grunts, not sounding very convincing.
       As swiftly as possible, Liam retraces his steps down the painfully long hallway for the 3rd time then slowly climbs up the flight of stairs to the main level.
      Suddenly, Zayn cries out weakly then shifts his weight in Liam's arms as he squeezes his eyes shut in pain and whimpers.
      "Baby are you okay?" Liam asks stupidly. He knew Zayn obviously wasn't okay and he was clearly hurt, but Liam didn't know how to help him.
     Zayn just sets his jaw and nods determinedly.
     "Keep.... Going," he tells Liam. Liam wants to ask him what's wrong, but suddenly he heard heavy boots walking down the tiled floors again and he quickly ducks into a dark office room and closes the door; a perfect hiding place. His heart rate picks up as the footsteps grow closer.
     Again, they stop right out side their hiding place and this time Liam knew it wasn't Louis lost and wandering aimlessly through the halls.
      "Not again...." Liam mutters as he ducks out do the way.
     "Ow.... Liam," Zayn gasps as he shifts his weight in Liam's arms then buries his forehead into Liam's chest, clinging tightly to the fabric of his shirt.
     "Sh Zayn" Liam whispers but Zayn groans again, clenching tightly to his chest.
      "Liam...." Zayn pleads but there's nothing he can do to help.
      "please.... Zayn please be quiet,"
     But Zayn doesn't stop as some unknown pain torments him. Liam nervously looks up at the door, expecting the handle to turn any second and they would be found.
      "Please Zee...." Liam whispers, glancing down at Zayn's pained face. But it was too late. The guard was almost upon them and they would be found. Liam had escaped too many times before and karma had finally caught up to him. There was no way out.
      Excepting defeat, Liam squeezes his eyes closed and clutches tightly to Zayn's thin, frail body, protectively leaning over him, terrified to ever let go of him again.
     He just wanted his Zaynie back. Why couldn't they see that??
      "Hey! This way!" A gruff voice yells from outside the door and more pairs of boots running can be heard.
      But instead of barging into the hiding place, they run right past without even giving them a second look.
     "What the....?" Liam trails off in confusion as he lifts his head up.
      "Zayn.... Zayn they're gone!!" Liam states. "They didn't find us!" Liam laughs in disbelief before he bends down to happily kiss Zayn's nose, cheeks, and forehead happily.
      Zayn laughs weakly and smiles up at Liam who laughs again then kisses Zayn's thin, cold lips passionately.
      "We're gonna be okay," Liam assures him quietly as he rests his forehead against Zayn's.
"C'mon. We're so close. We're almost home baby. Just hold on. We're almost home," Liam says as a whole new wave a confidence and bravery comes over home.
