Undead Angels

15. Betrayal

Darkness surrounds the group as they exit the building. Zayns taking lead and began walking down the road, Niall closely behind. Louis has Sophia alseep in his arms and Eleanor next to him blabbering about what was life before. Harry's not that far behind but he's distanced himself from that woman. He has a bad feeling about who she is, not only that, but she's getting close to Louis, which he doesn't like at all.

"We should be getting near some neighborhoods soon," Zayn says.

"Good, cause I could use a break," Louis says in a sarcastic voice. Eleanor laughs and Harry's eyes turn a dark green of jealousy. He makes an effort and catches up to the two, he gets in the middle and looks to Louis.

"Hey Lou." He smiles and strokes Sophia's hair.

"Hey H," Louis replies, HES still a bit on edge after what happened back there with Kane.

"Lemme take her," Harry suggest. He knows it must be hard for Louis to carry her now since he only has one hand now.

"Thanks," he grins. He passes the sleepy Sophia to Harry and stretches his arms, looking at his patched wound a bit.

"So, how is it?" Harry ask with concern.

"Hurts, but I can manage. Feeling a bit faint."

"We should get you a new cloth to go over it soon before it gets infected, and some antibiotics."

"I'm good Haz, don't worry," he cheekily smiles and runs the back of his fingers down Harry's cheek. Harry blushes and eases into his warm touch.

"Look! Houses!" Niall yells.

"Keep your voice down lad, you'll attract the dead," Zayn scolds.

Niall freezes but acknowledges what Zayns said. They all continue walking to the first house they see.

Louis pulls out his pistol, so does Niall. Zayn grabs a piece of metal from the floor and begins walking up the porch.

He taps the metal against the door and then on the window. A loud thud is heard on the inside and Zayn signals for the boys to cover him. He quickly opens the door and let's the walker fall to the floor. Instantly stabbing it through the back of it's head. He pulls the metal back out, blood spilling everywhere as he does so. Continuing in, his gaurd is up, the two lads with the pistols covering his every move.

Clear.

Eleanor closes the door behind them. It's a small one-story house, as you walk in a few sofas surround a TV and the kitchen is right next to it. Further down are 2 rooms and in between is what seems to be a bathroom.

Zayn and Louis clear all the rooms while Harry sits on one of the sofas with Sophia wrapped in his arms. He grabs a blanket that's placed next to the sofa over Sophia. It's not that cold yet but he doesn't want to take any chances of this little girl getting sick, he owes that to Liam.

"It's clear, Harry you can put Sophia in one of the beds in the room," Zayn suggest. Harry gets back up and heads to the room, passing Eleanor and Louis, they're both looking at the other room.

Nialls already claimed one of the couches in the corner and fell asleep.

As Harry places Sophia onto the bed, she's gripped onto his shirt.

"I love you daddy," she groggily whispers, eyes still closed.

Harry's heart breaks and he loosens the grip she has on him. He tucks her in and places a small kiss on her forehead. How were they ever going to break the news to this little girl?

He backs away quietly and closes the door.

"She okay?" Zayn ask.

"Yea, she's asleep now. Find anything in the kitchen?"

"Eh, a few cans of spaghetti and two boxes of half-empty cereals."

Harry nods, Zayn walks away to one of the windows and stares out.

Louis and Eleanor are sitting on the bed, "I've lost everything because of Kane, my family, my friends," she begins to sob, choking on her words.

Louis sitting there, listening to everything. He feels bad for her, that man ruined her life before and after this all started. She's spilling everything to Louis, making him sympathize for her even more. He places his hand on hers, "but you're alive aren't you?" He points out.

Eleanor nods her head and chuckles, she looks up at him and smiles, she leans into Louis. As this is happening, Harry's by the door. Hes two seconds from tearing that girl in two. He walks away in rage.

How could he do this to me? He doesn't even know her!!

He's about to explode of rage, he steps outside and sits on the porch. He pulls at his hair before the tears begin to stream down his face.

It really was too good to be true, wasn't it.

He's placing all these negative thoughts in his brain, breaking himself in the process.

Meanwhile, as Eleanor leaned in, Louis quickly moved back.

"I'm sorry if you thought I was insinuating that but I'm with someone else." He gets up and walks out of the room. Eleanor is left there in shock, embarrassment all over her face.

Louis looks around the house and doesn't find Harry.

"Zayn, you seen Harry?"

"He left to the porch a while ago," he starts as he gets up from the sofa and to the window.

Louis moves to the door and opens it. No Harry insight.

"Harry!" He yells in a whisper, not to attract any walkers.

He walks out and looks around, no Harry.

Zayn has his pistol and walks behind Louis, they look all around the house. Still no Harry.

"Oh my god Harry where the fuck are you??" Louis getting pissed but is nervous and scared at the same time. He begins running from the way they came from. He hears Zayns protest to come back but he ignores them. He just wanted to find his baby and make sure he was okay. Baby? Yea. Baby. Why the fuck did he run away?? Did he see me and Eleanor? Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I'm so stupid.
