(1D) Saw ; The Beginning

(6) Chapter One ; Only One Left .

Harry Styles ;

Another part of the room lit up, leaving only one area in a shade of darkness. The sound of the door opening echoed through this place a little too familiar. Louis turned around, whipping the tears from his face. The three of us starred now in the direction of the new light.

    

   "Wh-what was that??" Lou whispered loud.

 "It's another room-" Niall's voice was shakey.

    

I felt so horrible for him; encased in a glass box not knowing what was going on. None of us knew the rules to his game and none of us cold do anything for him. I only prayed that it wasn't as horrible as the rules to mine.

     

   "Liam??" I called, my voice echoing around. I swallowed the lump in my throat awaiting a response. "Zayn?? I-is someone there??"

  "What makes you think it's them?" Louis asked, holding his chest.

   "It has to be-" I shook my head. "There are four doors around this room, you came out of that one" I pointed to the door that he crawled out of. "And I from that one-"

  "So-?"

  "You think it's coincidence??" I spat. "That the three of us are here?? There's something more going on Lou, we just can't see it yet. There is only two doors left in this room. One has to be Zayn, and the other has to be Li."

     

Louis hung his head thinking about it. But what was taking them so long? I started to worry just a bit. If Liam or Zayn were in that room, I wanted to make sure that they were okay.

     

 "Where are you going??" Niall's muffled voice called out to me as I walked towards it.

   "Going to see if their alright-"

  "I'm going with you" Louis cut in. "I need to know."

   "Lou" I whined not wanting to argue with him. "Look at you, you can hardly stand-"

  "I said I'm coming with you" he clinched his teeth walking past me. "You can't stop me...."

 I sighed. "And what about Niall? You gonna leave him here by himself?"

   "He'll be fine-" he turned to Niall. "Ni?? We'll be right back okay?? We just need to make sure Zayn or Liam are okay-"

  He whimpered. "Okay... J-just, you better come back!"

The bad pang in my stomach twisted further. I couldn't stand to see Niall this way,

   "Look at him??" I gnarled at Louis. We looked back to see him crouched over, holding his head in his hands whispereing to himself. "He needs someone to keep him sane! Stay here!"

  Louis bit his lip. "I need to know if they're okay! Niall's probably the safest one out of us all!"

   "You're in no condition to be walking right now" I protested hoping Lou wouldn't be so rebellious for once. "And Niall needs one of us. Just stay! I'll be right back."

  Louis growled. "N-no! I can help you if-"

   "If what??" I raised my voice a bit. "You're hurt, Lou. Why do you have to be so stubborn with me?? I understand that you're worried, I really do but you don't think I'm worried about you too?? Please! Just stay with Niall, he needs you-"

  "Fine!" he hissed. "But you better fucking come back alive!"

     

A huge sigh of relif dawned over as I felt the weight of the world fall off my shoulders. It was already hard enough for me to see Niall losing it, I couldn't worry about Lou too. He was being too stubborn to cover his wounds which made it even harder for all of us. I just hoped it was Li beyond that door because he's pretty much the only one Louis actually obeys.

As I followed the light trail to the door it started to get cold. Mist emerged from the room almost like fog. I opened the door all the way getting a gust of cold air. Holy shit it was cold in there. I inched through the steel doorway, shivering all the way down to my toes. The ground was slippery, like it were frozen. I looked around the room seeing nearly everything coated in a sheet of ice. What the fuck happened in here? Book shelves were broken on the floor and what looked like shards of glass.

     

  "Oh fuck..." I growled.

     

I saw a television in the corner, but this one a little different. There was a timer under it stuck on 0:01 and on top of it, a number that read -75*. I scratched my head looking around a little more and then, I froze.

     

   "Z-Za... Z-Zayn?!!" I screamed, my eyes swelling up all over again. I ran over to him lying there on the floor, his body pale like Louis. "ZAYN??!!"

     

I fell to his side proping his upper boddy in my lap trying to wake him, but he wouldn't move. There was a large tear in his cheek almost like it had been ripped open.

     

  "Zayn!!!" I whimpered hugging him in my arms. I shook him again but he still didn't budge. "No, no, no, no please! Please don't this to me Zayn please!!!"

     

His face stayed blank. My tears froze tracks down my cheeks but they couldn' stop falling.

 "Zayn please..." I whispered into his chest losing control of myself. "Please...."

     

I held my ear to his mouth, hearing nothing. I sobbed even harder hoping it wasn't true.

     

  "Y-you deserved better..." I cried, my voice cracking at every word. "A-and I'm not letting you die here...."

     

I picked Zayn's body up in my arms refusing to leave him there in the cold. I cried as I walked out the door to bring him back to Lou and Ni, cringing at the thought of the reaction I would get from them.

     

  "Wh-what the-? What the fu-" Louis rose to his feet, eyes dilated in fear. He choked on his words as I watched the expression in his face turn mournful. "Z-Za... Zayn???"

    

I noded as I approached them, unable to fight the tears. His body was so cold, it made me shiver even more than I already was from crying. Niall's reaction hit me the hardest. He fell to the ground unable to handle. Tears streamed down his face as he pulled at the hairs on his head.

    

   "ZAYN?!" he screamed, shaking his head before covering his mouth.

    

My breaths got heavy, I couldn't even see anymore from all the water in my eyes. Lou helped me place him on the ground, looking at him in horror.

    

  "H-he's so cold..." Louis whispered, fighting the tears that were already in his eyes. "Wh-what happened...."

    

 I cupped my face in my hands turning away. Louis watched over Zayn's body as Niall cried his eyes out in his case. I just felt so empty. The same Zayn that I had met a few years ago, the one who kept met sane was now gone. I couldn't even fathom it.

   

 "Ha-Harry!!" Louis jumped cracking a vague smile. "Ha-Harry look!!!"

   "What?!" I spat upset. How could he laugh at a time like this?

 "He... H-he..." he started to chuckle through his tears. "He's still breathing...."
