>HAZEL'S POV<

I slammed my fists against the metal door to the killers cabin until my knuckles were bruised and bloody. I managed to pry it open with my hands, breaking a few nails.

I threw the door open and began to climb out before I glanced down over my shoulder.

I dropped to my feet, grabbing the knife on his desk before climbing up out of that hell hole.

I glanced down at the weapon in my hands. It glimmered it the sunlight as my fingers wrapped tightly around it.

I knew what I had to do...but I didn't know if I could get myself to go through with it.

I ran as fast as I could back to the cabins, wandering towards loud yelling. I breathed heavily, shoving the knife in the waistband of my panties, Harry's long shirt hid it quite well.

I slowly walked towards the girls cabin, already seeing Harry, Drew, and Niall being yelled at by Liam.

"Where the fuck is she?!" He screamed, making me flinch.

"You're bloody mental, Liam." Harry spat out, earning a quick kick to the stomach. He coughed up a bit of blood, glaring up at Liam with dark brown eyes. "Even if I did know where she went, I wouldn't tell you."

Niall held Drew close to his chest as he lay unconscious. My breathing quickened as I was about to step inside.

Then I heard it...a gun cocking.

A cool metal barrel was pressed softly to my temple. It shook slightly, as I glanced over to see Louis. He was crying silently.

"Lou..." I murmured softly, looking into his pain filled eyes. "What are you doing?"

"H-he told me...I gotta-gotta kill Hazel. I gotta...kill you." He began to shake in fear and sadness.

"Louis, please. Put the gun down."

"He's mad, Hazel...he's completely gone." I now knew who he was talking about.

"Liam is gone. But that doesn't mean that you have to be gone too. Put the gun down, Louis. Help me, please." I pleaded, watching as he fought with himself.

He slowly lowered the gun and whispered only to himself, "Mum would be proud..."

He tucked the gun in his waistband, peering up at me with tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Tell me what I have to do."

•••

"Look who I found outside." Louis held my arm tightly as I squirmed to try and release myself from his grip.

"Louis you bastard!" Harry screamed while Liam smirked at me.

"Well, well, well...look who came running back."

I whimpered as Louis pushed me into Liam who gripped both of my arms. He lowered his head to be level with me. As he tilted my chin up, he smiled deviously.

"Small world full of frightened people..." He whispered in my ear. "Are you frightened?"

My eyes narrowed at the ground as I took in a long breath. "I'll never be afraid of you."

"Oi!" Louis called, making Liam's head turn.

Harry was now untied and pissed like never before. Drew lay still on the ground while Niall stood beside Louis with clenched fists.

"Wha-"

Before Liam could get out a single word, I plunged the knife deep into his stomach. He bent over slightly, his eyes wide with surprise.

Blood dribbled from his mouth and down his dirty white shirt. He looked back at me with pain in his eyes.

His eyes...it was him again. It was Liam.

"L-Liam..." I whispered as he collapsed on the ground.

I knelt down, putting a hand over his wound. I shook my head with tears in my eyes.

"I'm so sorry...I'm sorry, Li."

He set his hand over mine, his red stained lips stretched into a small smile.

"Thank you Hazel..." He whispered in between soft grunts. "For freeing me. You saved me."

I cried loudly as I shook my head more. I killed him...I killed Liam.

"I'm so sorry." I mumbled again.

"I'm sorry. For turning on you all. For hurting you. I didn't deserve this freedom. Hazel...thank you."

Suddenly, his head lulled to the side and his brown eyes stared off at nothing. I sobbed loudly, resting my head on his broad chest.

I just killed my friend. I'm a murderer.

Harry pulled me to my feet, engulfing me in a tight hug and refusing to let go. I cried into his chest, letting him run his fingers through my hair.

"Shh...it's ok, Hazel. It's over." He whispered softly, making more tears escape through my tightly closed eyes.

For a moment, I believed him. I believed that it would all be over. But it wasn't over.

It was just beginning.
