"W-who a-are y-y-you-u?" A voice stuttered

They all turned to the not-so-unconscious girl on the floor and stared in wonder of how she could see them. She sat up slowly as if her injuries effected her greatly. There was a dried blood stain left over on the floor and the girls hair was messy and sticking up.

"P-p-please d-don't h-hurt-t m-me-e." She said. She didn't sit up all the way so she lay back down but didn't relax.

"It's okay we aren't going to hurt you. We are trying to help you." Helena said to her. The girl merely nodded but still didn't relax.

"W-who a-a-are y-you-u?"

"Names are irrelevant at the moment but you should meet us soon. What's your name, babe?" Helena continued.

"M-my n-n-name? I-it's Char-rlotte." As the last words fell from her lips her tensed body fell limp on the floor.

Louis' feet stuck to the ground and it was his turn for his body to tense. Why her? Why couldn't she have a different name. He didn't know what he would do if they looked at all similar. This Charlotte had brown hair, which was one noticeable difference.

"Louis? Are you even listening?" Harry waved his hand in Louis' face to get his attention.

"No, sorry." He apologised.

"Well, I was just saying we need to get back to the living room and round up the gang to discuss todays events." Harry said. He disappeared, assumingly going to the living room. Helena followed soon behind, but Louis took one last look at Charlotte before following suit.

By the time Louis had appeared in the living room Harry already had everyone gathered around, him standing in the middle. Louis sat down next to Kimmy and he took her small hand in his.

She gave him a small smile and turned her attention back to Harry.

"Ok, during the time that Helena and Louis were watching the cabin we made some discoveries." He paused for a second as if angrily reminiscing something that happened. "We found out that this man has abused her in more ways then one and she is or was pregnant. When we decided to go into the cabin he had kicked her in the face and from this we drew the conclusion that she is in fact pregnant.

"Once I had broken through the sound barrier to prevent the man from doing any more damage she talked to us. She asked us who we were and not to hurt her. Helena told her that we weren't going to hurt her and that we are trying to help. Helena then asked her name as a technique to calm her down and Charlotte said 'my name?' In the form of a question then gave her answer.

"Helena also told her that we should meet her soon. The only reason she could see us was because she was already half dead and if this man keeps abusing her then it wont be long until we meet her and who ever she comes with." Harry took a big breath and sighed after he finished and looked around to study peoples reactions. They were all wide mouthed.

"Goodness, you two are like the detective couple." Louis said to ease the tension. Harry blushed and avoided Helena's gaze leaving Louis wondering what happened between them?

"We still have to protect her and now her baby." Helena said. Everyone nodded and started to disperse. Zayn and Kimmy left for the watch, Helena and Harry went out so Niall, Perrie and Louis were left in the house, which he guessed he could call home now.

How Helena wanted Harry to make some sort of romantic gesture. But no. Although, he was taking her somewhere now. Helena's stomach was doing flips and she couldn't control herself from running off the tracks, metaphorically. Harry guided her out into the town where there were massive shopping centers and strange things we hadn't seen before.

Harry and Helena liked walking around seeing the new devices people had come up with. It's amazing what they saw.

Instead of it being like when they first died, they walked straight through oncoming people and traffic. Although, nothing scared them anymore. They walked in silence until they reached their special park bench. They sat down on the bench under the white flowers in plain silence, merely enjoying the pleasance of each other's company.

"Why did you bring me here?" Helena asked.

Harry turned to face her. He was wearing a blank expression and Helena thought about the almost kiss they had shared. She thought Harry would have been a great kisser. She wished he would just kiss her or something.

"I brought you here to ask you something." Helena nodded for him to continue. "Well uh I just wanted to know if um." He stuttered.

"Harry, if you don't spit it out-"

"Ok, ok. I know with all the impedimenta of Charlotte going on that no one has time to do much anymore but I was just wondering if you, tonight, wanted to maybe come with me to have dinner or something." He looked away from Helena and up to the nearby trees.

"That was the longest sentence in the world wasn't it?" He asked while she stared into his bright green eyes with shock.

"You want me to go on a date with you?" She asked, ignoring his previous question. His cheeks blushed crimson and he looked away frowning.

"You don't have to, I mean, we are each others Destiny's so it was bound to happen but if you don't want to thats fine too." Harry rushed his words. Helena smiled and slipped her small hand into his large, soft ones.

"I would love to go on a date with you." Harry visibly relaxed when she said that. He sighed and smiled widely at her.

"I'm just going to go and embarrass myself here and say that I have been wanting to do that for years. You fuel my death, Helena, literally. You are the reason I am standing here today, literally, and even if you kind of did get me killed I wouldn't of had it any other way!" His words melted her heart. She jumped into his arms and they stayed in that warm embrace for Jesus knows how long.

"So dinner tonight, huh?" Helena asked once they pulled away.

"Yeah, I'm not going to tell you anything so don't even ask." She slumped her shoulders in fake annoyance. He chuckled at her childish behaviour.
