~~~ Harry's POV ~~~

Belle and I were sitting on the blanket on the hill watching the clouds pass. We laughed and named what they looked like.

"That one looks like you." She laughed and pointed to a cloud.

"Okay," I laughed. Her musical laughed filled my ears and I smiled. I watched her as she watched the clouds. She looked over to me and smiled. I leaned over and slowly inched towards her. Before I could kiss her she was pulled away from me. The man in black had her.

"HARRY!!" She yelled and tried reaching for me.

"BELLE!! IM COMING!!" I tried getting up. I looked down and I had no legs.

"HARRY!"

I sat up from the floor. I was trying to catch my breath and I had a layer of sweat covering my forehead. Zayn looked worriedly at me. I put my head in my hands.

"Nightmares?" He asked. I nodded. "Same here." I looked around and everyone was sleeping.

"What if we can't find her." I said looking at him, tears filling my eyes.

"I know it's been a month a half Harry, but that doesn't mean we aren't closer to her than we were a day ago."

"I can't stand the fact that they are touching her." I growled. He didn't say anything.

"Harry, you need sleep." Logan said coming to me as I got up.

"I can't though." I sighed and ran up the stairs to Belle's room. I got in her bed. Her beautiful smell filled my nostrils and I pulled a pillow of hers close to me.


*** Next Day ***

I got little sleep as usual. It was two thirty in the morning- two hours ago I came up here. And when I couldn't sleep I sat up and watched the same videos of her over and over again.

I smiled as she laughed and threw the pancake mix at me. She ran around the island of the kitchen at the boys house. I chased over her. Her beautiful laugh filled my ears. I smiled remembering that moment.



Belle was over at my place. The guys all wanted company and were complaining on how I never brought her over so I picked her up. The two of us were in the kitchen making some dinner. The guys decided on breakfast for dinner. Belle loved the idea, since she's never done it before.

The radio played as we made the pancakes. I looked over to Belle and she was twirling and then mixing it while singing. I quietly laughed at her and then looked down to the counter.

"Babe?" I asked knowing she would turn around. I held my hand up, getting ready.

"Hmm?" When she could fully turn I threw the powder on her. She laughed then gasped. I laughed with her and went up to her. I wiped her eyes.

"You look pretty with pancake powder on you." I laughed.

"Really?" Her hands went to my face and hair. Pancake mix was now on me.

"It's war." I said. She ran around the island while laughing. She was never good at running away. I chuckled and lunged across the counter and grabbed her. She laughed as I pinned her to the ground. Her laugh was so beautiful. I pushed her hair from her face and bent down to look in her eyes.

"You'll have to help me get this out." I told her. She smiled and poked my dimples. She always told me how much she loved my dimples, so I smiled when ever I was around her.

"I know." She eyes were filled with love and adoration. She gently moved my curls from my face. Today I wore my hair down. No gels or anything. Belle loved when I did that once in a while.

"I love you." I whispered. She smiled even bigger.

"I know that too." I smiled and kissed her.


I moved onto the next video on my phone. It was one when Lou, El, Derek, Niall, Logan, Belle, and I were at my apartment having a movie night or something.

"Ahhh!" El and Belle screamed. I picked up Belle and Lou picked Eleanor up, interrupting their conversations. Belle laughed and began to pound her fists on my back, lighty.

"You know I think they should stay up there." I said to Lou. He had his thinking face on then nodded.

"Agreed." The camera showed Belle and Eleanor smiling to each other.

"What you boys don't know is we love seeing your bums." Belle said and pinched mine. I jumped a bit and the girls laughed. I put Belle down and wrapped my arms around her.

"I love you." She looked up to me and smiled. Her hair was pulled back that day and she was in my jumper and a pair of sweats. Her comfy day. I smiled and sweetly kissed her.

"Get a room!" Derek yelled. How come it sounded so familiar?

"Let them be teenagers!" Niall said with a laugh.

"Get your own room!" Eleanor yelled still hanging from Lou's shoulder.

"Because I don't have a girl that I can do anything with. Yet." The camera showed him and he was looking at Belle.

We didn't even notice this. Why?

I was smiling down to her and whispering into her ear. Her eyes were located on the wall behind me while she was smiling.

Back to Derek. He was watching Belle as if she were just any hot girl he wanted to fuck.

That's when I realized. My mind went back to the tapes that were sent. Holy shit. I shot up and ran down the stairs. I woke up Logan first.

"WHAT?!" He yelled.

"Get the fuck up." I told him. I turned on all the lights. Whoever didn't get up I hit them and they got up.

"Harry what is this about?" King William asked as I put in the tape. I quickly fast forwarded it.

"Derek Schill."

"What?" Niall asked confused. I played the tape and the guy who I thought was Derek talked. I paused the tape and pressed play on my phone. Derek spoke.

"It's Derek?" Liam asked shocked and confused.

"Yes! Listen!" I yelled playing both the tape and video over again. Everyone stared at each other.

"Holy fucking shit." Logan said. The King of Queen obviously didn't care that he just swore. But I mean who would? They just possibly found their daughter.

"The one man also has a tattoo on his hand." I played a part where his hand went up to Belle's face. I looked away and pointed to the tattoo on his hand.

"That's Ian's hand." Logan said.

"Ian?" Everyone asked.

"Derek Schill's brother."

"DEREK?!" The boys yelled. Logan grabbed the remote and pressed play. He turned the volume up when the guy who kissed Belle spoke.

"That's Derek." Logan said looking at me. I nodded.

"I don't know how we didn't realize it sooner." Louis said.

"Because we were too focused on the guy talking about the money." Zayn said.

"I'm so sorry, Belle." I told the telly. The head FBI agent grabbed Logan and I.


We had looked into their background and found out more. That's where we were heading now. The only place that was registered in their father's name.

"Harry, stay here." The FBI agent said.

"I'm going." I said and tried to walk.

"No, you're not. If you do trouble will only occur and she could be in danger. I promise I will get Isabelle." When I stared into his eyes I noticed he was serious about his job. I backed away and waited with the royal family and the boys. Charlie ran behind the men as they broke in.

I tapped my foot and waited. Logan stood next to me as we impatiently waited.

"There she is." A cop had said. My head shot up and Xavier was carrying her. I began to sprint to her. She seen me and tried to get out of Xavier's arms. I fastly ran to her, Xavier set her down when I got to them. As soon as she got into my arms she cried.

My hand rested on the back of her head and my other arm around her. I held her so close to me. She cried into my neck. I kissed her forehead.

"I'm so sorry." I whispered. She tightened her arms around me. Although is wasn't tight, she really was weak. I squeezed her, but she winced. I pulled her away at arms length to examine her. She had bruises and love bites all over her body. I looked into her eyes and she was crying. I quickly pulled off my jacket and gave it to her and then took my sweats off and put them on her. I pulled her back into my arms.

"I love you." I whispered and kissed her head. More cops had come out of the building. With them were the guys who took Belle. Derek looked at me and smiled. It took all I had in me not to go break his face.

"Belle!" Logan yelled. She looked up and he was running to her. She let go of me and hugged her cousin. She hugged Zayn next and then the other boys. When she got to her father, they didn't let go of each other for a while. She then kissed Edmund's head and looked up to her mother. They stared at each other for a minute, then Belle hugged her. The Queen had a tear fall from her eye as squeezed her daughter.

Belle then came over to me and hugged me.

"I'm so sorry I didn't try harder." I told her. I held her out at arms length again and scanned over her body. "Did he-" She shook her head. I lifted my hand up to her face and wiped the tears.



"She is just a little dehydrated." The EMT told her father and I. I finished pulling up the pants that Lou had gave me and sat next to Belle. She closed her eyes and put her head on my shoulder. I ran my hand up and down her side and kissed her head.

The sun was just about to come up. It seemed as if it could be a beautiful day, but that was all ruined.

"Any signs of rape?" King William asked.

"No, but we need to take her to the hospital for tests- just in case." She replied.

"I'll meet you two at the hospital." He said to Belle and I. Charlie got in he back of the ambulance with us.

"Harry, I need to talk to you." King William said. I nodded and tried getting up, but Belle grabbed me.

"I'll be right there." I said pointing outside of the vehicle. "I promise I'll be right back." I whispered.

"Promise."

"I'm never going to leave you, beautiful." She let go of my hand. I kissed her forehead and stood up. "I'll be right back." I hopped out of the ambulance. William pulled me over to the side where Belle couldn't hear us.

"I need you to keep a close eye on her." He said.

"Sir, I know I let you down when she was kidnapped and I am so sorry. Believe me I hate myself for it, but when I was in the hospital I told myself that I was never going to let Belle out of my sight again, ever. I will keep that promise forever." He nodded and hugged me.

"It's not your fault." He let me go and smiled at me. "She's lucky to have you." I shook my head.

"I'm lucky to have her, sir." He smiled and nodded. He was escorted to his car with the Queen and Prince. Niall and Liam walked up to me.

"He's most likely going to prison for his life."

"I hope he rots in there." I said while glaring daggers at him. "I hope he gets beat to death. And I sure as hell hope he isn't treated right." Derek seemed to notice that I was talking about him. He smiled to me from the back of the cop car.

"Hey Harry, tell Belle that I'll be thinking of her." That's it. I stormed over to the police car and opened the door. I dragged him out and began punching him. It felt so good to punch him, but also hurt my hand. I was then pulled off him him.

"If you even think about her again I will make sure that the ambulance is near for your sorry ass." I yelled. He chuckled as I was pulled away. Blood trickled down his face. I angrily pushed the two cops off of me and turned around.

Belle was standing outside of the ambulance watching, terrified. My face softened and I pulled her into my arms.



I watched Belle as she slept on the hospital bed. Charlie was asleep in the corner. Xavier was on look out by the door. I looked at the clock- midnight. Logan came in the room with Zayn.

They nodded to me and I hugged them quickly.

"How is she?" Zayn asked as he handed me a bag of food. I sat down next to her. Zayn gave Xavier a bag.

"They have the IV in her for some reason and they gave her some pain medication. She's been sleeping since you two and the guys left."

"Haz, you've been up since two in the morning. You need to go to sleep." I shook my head and swallowed the sub that I took a bite of.

"I have to make sure she's safe." I looked at her and her head turned.

"I know you blame yourself for her kidnapping, but you can't." Logan said.

"I could have-"

"Harry, mistakes happen. You tried your best, but you can't stay up for the rest of your life." Zayn said.

"A mistake that could've gotten her killed." I said glaring a the two of them.

"Just get some sleep." Logan said cutting off Zayn as he was about to say something. "We'll see you in a few hours." I watched as they walked out.



"Harry?" Belle whispered. I looked up to her and she was watching me. I smiled and moved my chair up closer. I rested my hand on her cheek.

"I'm right here, baby." I smiled softly to her. "What do you need?" I whispered running my thumb slowly across her cheek.

"I want to go home."

"As soon as the doctor sees you I'll get you out."

"Will you lay with me?" She asked. I smiled and nodded. She moved over and I got into the tiny bed with her. "What time is it?" She whispered when she got comfortable next to me.

"It's almost five."

"Why didn't you sleep?"

"I had to make sure you were okay."

"Promise me you'll sleep right now." She looked up to me. I nodded and she placed her head back by mine. I held her close to me.

God, I've missed this.
