Hall Of Heroes

Chapter 16

"LOUIS!" Harry screamed, dropping to the ground to Louis laying on the floor. The man with the gun was still stood poised above them, but Harry wasn't taking anymore risks.

All the anger inside Harry built up and without thinking what he was doing, he delved into the mind of the stranger. Suddenly the stranger's hand holding the gun jerked upwards and pointed towards his head. Harry's eyes burned with fury as he stared deep into the soul of the shooter, revenge driving his actions. A frozen look of shock painted on the shooter's face, Harry controlled his mind to pull the trigger and with a second bang, the stranger collapsed to the floor, dead.

Harry gasped. He just killed a man. He may not have pulled the trigger himself, but none the less he killed a man. Harry quickly pushed the thought out of his mind as he stared at Louis on the ground, a pool of blood beginning to form around his body.

"Louis, no no no..." Harry kept repeating, tears piercing his eyes. He ripped his sleeve off and pressed it against Louis' chest where the bullet had hit him. Louis' eyes were barely open, and Harry didn't even know if he was conscious or not.

"Louis, don't leave me, you listen to me Louis Tomlinson, don't you fucking leave me..." Harry sobbed. Harry closed his eyes, half collapsed on top of Louis. "You... you saved my life," Harry weeped into his chest, "Why the fuck did you do that you twat..." Harry shot up when he felt something on his hand, and he saw it was Louis' hand on top of his.

"Harry." Louis whispered, barely able to speak, "I need to tell you something."

"What is it?" Harry replied, the tears falling down his face freely now.

"I love you, Harry." Louis choked, and with all his energy he gently smiled.

"I... I've always loved you Louis..." Harry half laughed, surprised at what Louis had just said. He could hear his blood pumping around his body and feel his heart beating hard against his chest. He'd finally said it. He loved Louis... and Louis loved him. After years of burying his true feelings, he'd finally let them go, and he'd never felt more relieved. Slowly Harry bent down and kissed Louis lightly on the lips, his hand still pressed hard against his chest. Harry felt Louis kiss back, and Harry's mind exploded in a feeling resembling fireworks.

"HARRY! LOUIS!" Harry sat up as he heard the shouts from Niall, and saw the three running towards them.

"We heard gun shots! What the fuck happe-" but Liam stopped mid-sentence as he got close enough to see.

"Shit." Zayn cursed. Niall pushed past the two of them and crouched down beside a wet faced Harry.

"What happened?" Niall asked, pushing Harry's hands away from Louis' chest and replacing them with his own. Louis had now passed out.

"This guy aimed a gun at me and... and... Louis just jumped." Harry stuttered on the last bit, still unable to gather the fact that Louis had risked his own life to save Harry's... and Harry didn't even know if Louis was going to make it.

Niall concentrated on Louis' chest and Liam, Harry and Zayn watched nervously as a warm sensation from Niall's hands radiated into Louis. The bleeding had stopped now, but there was no telling what damage had been done inside.

Niall grunted loudly in frustration, continuing to push his palms into Louis' chest. Just like Harry, tears threatened Niall as he worked to save his best friend's life.

After what seemed like a life time, Niall took his hands away and stood up.

"I've tried what I can, but Louis needs a hospital. Quick." Niall stated, lowering himself back down to pick Louis up. The rest followed and helped pick up Louis.

They walked quickly, trying to leave the building as fast as possible. Liam saw someone approaching around the corner and in one swift movement swung his fist round and knocked the person out cold on the floor. They continued to walk, picking up the pace as they saw the exit.

"There! Intruders! Stop them!" someone shouted from behind.

"Oh for fuck's sake!" Zayn screamed, his anger reaching his high point. Gently Zayn let go of Louis before turning around and thrusting his hands toward the floor. The thick concrete seemed to melt and glow, and slowly Harry, Niall and Liam realised Zayn was transforming the concrete into hot, liquid magma.

One of 'The Powerful' didn't see the magma till too late, and found himself rolling on the floor clutching his foot, screaming out in pain. When the four of them thought it safe to leave, a sudden bolt of electricity flew above their heads, just singing the top of Liam's hair.

They looked across to see three large figures, one with a light glowing in their hands. As the figure walked closer they saw it was a woman, with a crazed look in her eyes. She seemed to be smiling, and didn't look like she was going to stop at just shocking someone lightly. Zayn and Liam ran forward to the other two figures and fought them, trying to keep them away from Louis as Niall worked to heal him more so he wouldn't die.

Harry ran forward to the woman and before she could shoot another electric bolt he delved into her mind, picking it apart. Harry's eyes seemed to grow dark, but the woman was fighting back the battle in her mind.

When Harry thought he had enough control, the electric woman's mind suddenly let go and a struck of lightning shot across. There was a yell of pain from behind and Harry turned to see Niall collapsed on the floor.

Harry ran back over to Louis and Niall, torn between what to do. He then picked an unconscious Louis up and with the other arm lifted a crying Niall to his feet. While Zayn and Liam fought the two men Harry slowly made his way out of the building to protect Niall and Louis.

Harry staggered around the corner as collapsed against Niall's car, placing Louis on the floor. Niall lay on the floor, clutching his legs with his hands. You could see a black and red gash where the lightning had hit and burnt him, and Niall worked to try and heal himself.

Moments later Zayn and Liam came running around the corner, Zayn clutching his shoulder which seemed to be at an awkward angle.

"START THE CAR, WE NEED TO GO!" Liam screamed as close behind were three figures gaining on them.

Harry picked Louis up and placed him in the back seat of Niall's car while Niall struggled into his own passenger seat. Liam ran to Zayn's car and got in the driver seat as Zayn jumped into the passenger seat. There was no one to drive Louis' car, so they had to leave it.

With a burning smell of rubber in the air, the two cars sped off before anyone else could catch them.
