Where the fuck do we go?" Harry asked with desperation. Niall sat clutching his leg which seemed to be improving but obviously was still causing him pain.

"We need to get Louis to a hospital..." Niall said, looking at the body across the back seat.

"Can't you do anything Niall? I mean you're the one with the fucking healing power!" Harry snapped, gripping the steering wheel harder causing his knuckles to go white.

"It's not a little scratch Harry, he's been shot through the bloody chest! He needs a hospital right now or he's going to die!" Niall shouted back, anger in his voice. Niall felt helpless and couldn't have felt any worse knowing there was nothing he could do.

"Let me get in the backseat. Drive to the nearest hospital Harry." Niall said as he climbed over the seat. He sat next to Louis and ripped his shirt off to reveal his chest. Niall gasped loudly, and with caution placed his hands over the horrific wound just under his heart. Louis literally had minutes left.

Liam and Zayn both sat in silence, thinking about what state Louis was in right now. They silently followed Harry who was speeding off ahead of them.

"We can't take Louis to a hospital." Zayn said, pain in his voice as he gripped his shoulder.

"Why not?" Liam asked, confused.

"How the fuck would we explain Niall's burnt leg, my dislocated shoulder and the bullet in Louis' chest without giving away the fact we have powers?" Zayn said.

"They'd call the police..." Liam replied in agreement, "call Niall..." Zayn rang Niall and put the phone on loudspeaker.

"Are you guys okay?" Niall answered.

"We can't go to the hospital. It's too suspicious. Go back to HQ. They have paramedics there." Liam spoke.

"Are you crazy? We don't have time!" Harry shouted over the phone line.

"What's crazy is revealing the fact there is a sub-human race of people with superpowers!" Zayn added.

"Fine, see you at HQ..." Niall said before putting the phone down.

Harry drove along in silence, his mind racing with different thoughts. His best friend was laying in the back seat, dying. He'd killed a man. He'd admitted his feelings to his true love after seven long years. Without a second thought Harry felt for Louis' mind and delved into his thoughts...

... but there was nothing. All Harry could feel, could see, was darkness. Harry started to panic. He couldn't feel that feeling he'd experienced that night at the campfire years ago. Harry kept searching but there was nothing. He needed that feeling to keep his hopes alive but it just wasn't there. Just as he was about to give up, he heard something in his mind. It was faint and Harry was struggling to understand it. Soon enough Harry interpreted it.

"I can't leave..." is all Harry heard.

"No, you can't leave..." Harry whispered, a tear slowly rolling down his cheek.
