Angel || h.s.

Chapter 21

***Harry's POV***

'They found me.'

Huh?

"What do you mean?" I asked her. "Who found you?"

She stared past me instead of answering and her mind was clearly somewhere else.

"They found me," she said again, her voice shaking as she thought.

"Who? Who found you?" I asked again grabbing her shoulders and forcing her to face me.

She didn't hear me.

"They found me, they found me," she whispered in terror.

Wait, what?

"They'll take me. They're gonna take me away," she cried.

'They'll take her'? Who? Who's 'they'? And why are they going to take Angel?

I'm not letting anyone take her away from me. I've lost her once and she was here the whole time. I do not want to lose her again, for real.

"No. No-no-no-n-no. I don't want to. I don't want to go," she sobbed.

"Go where?" I persisted. "Who's going to take you, Angel?"

She didn't reply. She just shook her head furiously from side to side and refused to look me in the eye.

"Angel . . . Please answer me," I gently pleaded.

"She won't answer you. But I will."

My head shot up as my attention was diverted towards the window. It was open and a guy with golden blonde hair and pale blue eyes stood in front of it. I instinctively pushed Angel behind me.

"Who the hell are you?" I demanded. But then I saw the bow and arrow and I didn't care. I wanted him gone. "Leave or I'll call the police!"

"The police?" The blonde laughed. "Sorry, friend, but I don't think they'll be of much help."

"You're no friend of mine," I said defensively.

"But you don't even know me," the blonde said.

"Exactly," I hissed.

The blonde just shrugged. "Fair enough," he said.

He said it casually as if he didn't just break into my room.

He took a step forward and I snapped. "Stay away from us!"

The guy shrank back to where he was before.

"Oh, okay. I see how it is. Look, I think we got off on the wrong foot here. Let's start over okay?"

The blonde dropped his bow and placed his quiver of arrows on the bed.

I still did not trust him and he seemed to sense that.

"I come in peace."

He said it seriously but a small smirk appeared on his face, showing the humor.

"And I mean no harm," he added.

"Then why did you break in? Why not just use the door?" I asked quickly.

"Cause that's no fun," he joked.

"No fun?! So you think breaking and entering, and scaring the shit out of people is fun?" I yelled at him.

What kind of insensitive maniac was this guy?

"Wow! Hey! Watch the language! There's a lady in the room!"

"Yeah, a lady that your scaring the crap out of right now!"

"She's not scared because I broke in-"
