Untamed Love

Chapter 43 - Tess

Chapter 43 - Tess

My lips separated slightly letting out a small gasp. I couldn't open my eyes. I felt light. I wriggled my fingers and looked down at them. A blinding light caused me to block my vision with my arms. My fingers played with the soft material of the robe I was wearing. ROBE? I looked down to see myself dressed in a white robe from my dreams. 

"Oh no" I mumbled. I looked around to see other people also dressed in white. I walked over to a couple and their child. "Excuse me? Can I ask you something?"

"Of course hunny" the woman said. The man beside her nodded in agreement and rubbed my back. 

"Where is this? What happened to me?"

The couple smiled and set their child down. "This is a place called 'The Spirit of Lost Souls'"

"It's a place where the lost souls of people go either when they are unconcious or..."

"Dead" I finished. I swallowed the lump in my throat and continued asking questions. "So, I don't mean to be rude or anything but, what happened to you?"

The couple held hands. "It was heavily raining and we really wanted to get little Nicky home. We ran over a pot hole and crashed". 

Suddenly a sharp pain came in my stomach. I clutched it dropping to the ground. The couple rushed to my side to help. As soo as their fingers came in contact with my skin they yelped and jumped away. 

They looked at eachother with extremely worried faces. "W-what?" I stammered. 

"Y-you're not supposed to be here. You have to go back" the man said

"What? Why?" I asked as i struggled to pull myself up. 

"Some of the lost souls are the souls of people sleeping or people in a coma. You are one of them" explained the woman

"You're one of them. You're body is still alive but without it's soul, it appears dead. You wont have a heart beat. The people with your body must think your dead. You have to go back!" they urged. 

"How? I mean... I don't even know how I... AHHHH!" I screamed dropping to the ground again. I pulled my hand away from my stomach. Crimson red had stained the blindingly white dress. I looked at the couple with questioning eyes. They just slowly backed away picking up their child and running off. Blood was dripping everywhere, making a trail as I moved forward. 

I felt another sharp pain in my chest. I clutched my heart and gasped. "No". 

I remember dropping to the white marble floor with my brown hair falling around my head. I felt so weak. I closed my eyes and breathed slowly. A wet thick puddle was starting to form around me. I couldn't get up, no one help me. I was just lying on the floor in my own blood. 

- Niall -

Harry and Liam literally dragged me back to the hotel and stayed in my room until I fell asleep. I opened my eyes to see a familiar brown haired girl lying on the floor surrounded by thick red blood. "Tess?" I questioned myself. I slowly plodded over to my girlfriend. Her brown hair was displayed around her pale face matted with blood. My vision slowly faded away as I dropped to my knees crying over the love of my life. 

Her white dress that she was wearing was completely red. I walked around her and saw that there was a patch of white fabric. I kneeled down and saw that it was a handprint. I looked at my hand and placed it next to the white patch. I placed my hand on the print and a familiar feeling shot up my arm. 

Then... everything went black.

- Harry -

"Niall!" Snap out of it!" I slapped my best friend in the face in an attempt to wake him up. I pulled at my curls in frustration. Liam then grabbed the blond headed irish boy and shook him very violently.

"NIALL JAMES HORAN! WAKE UP!" Niall snapped into conciousness and yelled. Liam and I hugged him whilst trying to pin him to the bed. 

"Shhh. It's okay". After a while when Niall had stopped crying anf yelling I quietly asked him "Niall, what did you see. It might help us"

"Well..." he started

- Niall -

I saw Tess, lying on the floor, not moving, not breathing and surrounded in blood. Hers I think. Her face was pale and then I dropped to the floor crying. I explained to Harry and Liam about the handprint on her dress and how I put my hand there. 

"That's it! I think I get it" exclaimed Liam. You just simple have to be there with Tess or she doesn't come back. You have to figure out what to do though" he patted my back and pulled me in for a hug. 

We arrived at the hospital and I bolted down the hallway to Tess' room. I burst through the door and ran to her side. I held her hand and an idea ran through my head. The feeling that shot through my arm before was something I couldn't explain. I had hurt Tess once during our childhood. I think I had to give something back to her. 

I placed my hand where I think the white hand print was. Tess was pulling something out of me. Something she needed. She gasped and shot up looking at me. Tess. My Tess was back. I pulled her in for a hug and then kissed her forehead. 

I'm so happy you're safe.
