Harry’s POV
Louis is always so comforting to me, even though I've been here longer than he has. We keep each other from going insane… If that's even possible? Nothing makes sense anymore. Once you step through the giant double doors of the mansion, nothing makes any sense.
Louis and I have been trapped in the mansion for about three years now. Each day is worse than the last. We get no freedom here.
For all we know, the Master could be planning something we'll all regret in the end... as usual. But we can't let him win. There is no way that we're letting him get what he wants, Not this time.

Narrator’s POV
As Harry and Louis return to the dining room, they overhear the Master speaking to the beautiful boys.
"Harry," Louis whispered. "I think he's trying to lure them in with small talk."
"Of course he is!" Harry coldly replied. "That is how he gets them on his side. That's the first step in his cruel ways."
"I cannot believe I didn't notice that before" Louis exclaimed. "We've been here for how long? And the Master as taken in how many people? I mean come on, try something else one in a while."
"Would you stop talking so loud!" Harry snapped. "Do you want to get caught?"
"Sorry. I didn't realize how loud I was." Louis whispered. "I just can't take this anymore."
"I know. Neither can I." Harry smirked. "That is exactly why we're gonna break out of this hell hole."
~~~~~~ Later that evening... ~~~~~~
"So, what do you think we should do now?" Louis asked. "I mean, they already finished their meal. Who knows what the Master is up to."
"I think we should --" Harry cut himself off when he happened to hear a loud noise coming from the long, dark, hallway. The two boys quickly rushed over to where the sound was coming from.
"Oh my goodness, I am so terribly sorry." Zayn said, blushing of complete and utter embarrassment.
"Oh, that's okay." Harry replied. "That vase was only, oh I don't know, 100 years old!"
Zayn just looked at Harry with bewilderment and sorrow in his eyes. "Oh, I didn't know. How can I make it up to you?"
"Zayn," Harry snickered. "I was just kidding."
"Oh, heh."
"Yeah. But seriously, it was really expensive."
"We'll pay for it!" Niall exclaimed, trying to break the awkward silence.
"No, boys seriously. You don't have to do that." Harry replied.
"You might not even make it out in time anyways." Louis thought.
"But we want to. It was our fault anyways. Well, actually it was Zayn’s fault..." Liam chipped in.
"Let's just forget about the stupid vase." Zayn snapped.
"Okay..." Harry mumbled, slightly frightened by Zayn’s sudden change in attitude.
As the group continued to argue about the vase and what they should do, Zayn slyly pulls Harry aside.
"Harry," Zayn whispered.
"Yes Zayn?" Harry quietly replied.
"What -- What is the real reason why we're all here?"
"What -- What do you mean the real reason?"
"I mean --" Zayn starts, but is then cut off by Niall.
"Oh lovebirds!!" Niall sings. "I think we should move on and stop bickering over the stupid vase. I mean, the boys said that it was fine. I think we can let it go now. What do you think Louis?"
"What?" Louis blushes. "I mean, yeah. We should move on. It's completely fine."
"See! I told you. Now lets go." Niall states as Louis led the three bickering boys down the hallway.
"Psst." Zayn whispers.
Harry reluctantly looks up at him. "Hmm?"
"We'll finish our little conversation later yeah..." Zayn smirks as he leans down and kisses Harry on the cheek.
Harry then blushes and looks down, almost tripping over his own pigeon toed feet, while trying to catch up with the others.
Things are about to get heated...
