Chapter 12 ~ Purple water balloons

~Third person's POV~

The cabin had been cleaned easily within the hour. Harry's power of creating force fields had proven to be very helpful to gather all the broken pieces and Louis' gift with water had helped to get rid of all the dust on the floor. 

"So, Liam. How come you didn't tell us you would bring in someone else today?" Louis asks after everyone had taken a seat on the sofas. Niall has gotten himself something to eat too, after Liam gave him back the gloves he always wears, making it more easy for him to touch things. 

"I wasn't sure if I could free him. I told you how much security has gone up since I busted out the last one." Liam answers him and switches channels on the television. "Beside, I did tell you two I would try and bring someone new in soon. You should have been expecting it." 

Harry sits up straighter then. "You weren't there when he entered the cabin, Liam." He speaks up with a deep and sharp voice. "How were we supposed to know he was on our side? I don't want to bury another person because of an intruder." 

The room goes deadly silent after his words. The only noise are the soft voices on the television. The mood has dropped. 

Niall finishes his sandwich and watches as Louis places a comforting hand on Harry's leg. He looks at him sadly. 

"You are right, Harry." Liam says. "I'm sorry for not letting you know." 

Niall looks between the three of them. He can tell something horrible has happened not too long ago and it must have left a great impact on all of them. He doesn't dare to ask what it was. 

"So, will you be bringing anyone else?" Louis sits back again, keeping his eyes on Liam, who shakes his head. 

"No, I was busted." He says. "He installed new camera's I didn't know about. By now he must have figured out I was the one to set free all of his disappearing subjects. Going back alone, without a plan of attack would be a suicide mission." 

"So, this is it then?" Harry asks. "The four of us are supposed to stop an entire organisation specialized in using our powers against us?" He shakes his head in disbelieve. "How is that not a suicide mission?" 

"Well, they are just people. If we attack at the right moment, we have a chance of winning, right?" Louis says hopefully and looks from Harry to Liam again. 

"Wait." Niall speaks up for the first time. "Liam? You have been assembling people to kill your father and his team?" He only just realized this. "I... I don't..." 

"Great, back to three again!" Harry says, throwing his hands up in the air in sarcasm. "And the most powerful one at that. He could take the three of us at once." 

"I could not." Niall immediately says. "I don't know how to control my power." 

Harry starts laughing. "Great. Just great." He gets up and walks away, slamming the door behind him as he goes into his bedroom. 

Louis sighs. "I'll go check on him." He looks sad when he gets up and goes after Harry. Once he closed the bedroom door, Liam looks at Niall. 

"I'm sorry about that, Niall. He has been through a lot." 

Niall nods. "I understand. Did your father imprison him too?" 

"Yes. Him and his sister." He says. "I got them both out. About two years ago." 

"Then where is..." Niall can already guess what could have happened. 

"She died. I brought him to what I believed was a safe place. It was more than a hundred kilometers away from the institution. Louis was there already and they took care of each other for a while." Liam sighs. "There was someone who saw them practice their powers. She sold them out to my father. I didn't know they would send a team to get them back. I would have warned them."
