{Dani's POV}

"Hey, love, I've been looking for you." Perrie smiles.

"So this her?" A very pretty girl asks, looking at Perrie, who nods.

I watch closely as Perrie slowly walks towrds me, her hand outstreched. Just when her hand gets inches away from my arm, I scramble to my feet and run for it, never looking back.

"Wait, Dani!" Perrie calls after me. I don't slow down as I turn around the corner. Actually, if it was possible, I got faster.

"Wait, Danielle! Please stop. Perrie just wants to tell you something!" Another girl shouts from behind me. I slow a little as I near the arena. I can't go to the orphanage now, they'll know.

"D-Dani. I h-have to say something." Perrie gasps for air as they near. I slow down to a walk and turn around, only for a body to crash into mine. Immediately, pain shoots up my spine and I try to push the person off of me. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" Perrie quickly stands up and brushes herself off as the three others help me up.

"So, how do you know each other again?" The one with a bow in her hair asks.

"We don't know each other, really, but I had a dream about her. She had a boyfriend named Max, and all four of us were her mums. It was strange, but I have a feeling its conected with something. Wait, you are Dani, right?" Perrie turns to me. I nod and start to back away. Suspender-Girl grabs my arm before I can go any farther.

"Okay, so I'm not the only one? Who else had it?" One of the girls ask, looking inbetween the four others of us. I slowly raise my hand, along with the othes.

"Okay, so all of us?" The other one asks. I nod.

"Do you know our names yet?" I point to Perrie and nod, then point to the other three and shake my head.

"Well, I'm Jesy," The one beside Perrie starts off.

"I'm Leigh-Anne." The other one smiles from beside me.

"And I'm Jade." The girl gripping my arm tightly says, also smiling. I nod.

"Do you ever talk?" Jesy asks quietly, trying not to be rude. I shake my head and shrug. "Oh, well I'm sure we can change that sometime. Now, lets head to the park. We aren't letting you go back to your school today." She says sternly and we walk off towards the downtown area, which I know very well.

I'm goign to let go of your arm, but you have to stay with us. Okay?" Jade asks gently. I nod. As soon as she releases my arm, I run for it again.

I'm not going with them. I think to myself. For once, I agree with my mind! Strange.

"Dani!" Leigh-Anne sounds inches away from me, so I run faster.

I dash through the heavy traffic of normal Mondays, eventually loosing the girls. Turning the corner, I see Zayn on the phone with his hood up and sunglasses trying to cover up his identity, but failing miserably. I sneak up behind him and listen in on the conversation.

"(I lost her, Zayn! What do I do?)

Well, did you tell her about the dream at least?

(Yeah. The girls and I tried talk to her, but she was trying to run away every time.)

She doesn't talk much, Perrie. Just don't pressure her. Everything will be alright.

(*sigh* Yeah, I guess. I just wish she wouldn't have run off.)

Are you and the girls looking for her?

(Yeah. We've looked all over town already. Nothing.)

Well, I'll call the boys and see if we can find her. Be careful, Perrie.

(You know I already am, Zayn. That's why we have disguises. Duh.)

You found the costume shop again, Didn't you.

(Um... Maybe? Look. It doesn't matter if we're dressed up as clowns or not. At least people wont recognise us with paint on our faces and big noses. I love you, but I need to go. I think I see her)

Okay. Text me if you find her." Zayn ends the call and I look around, panicked. From a distance, I see the girls running towards me in the stupidest clown costumes ever! I never thought I'd see four clowns chasing me.

I run around the corner and into the empty arena. As soon as I turn away from the door, my eyes were met with weird glances of stage workers. My eyes widen in shock and I run back out the doors, looking around cautiously before dashing the opposite way from the orphanage. Suddenly, I remember the kids and school and everything.

I run to the elementary school, which was only a few blocks away, and see that the kids still aren't out of school yet. I walk around the park across the street, listening to the leaves ruffling. Sometimes a tear would roll down my cheek as I remember the good memories I had with Mary, Kyle, Karly, Paige,  Seth, and Claire. We really have lost lots of people in the past few days, haven't we? It makes me sad just thinking about it. I snap out of my trance and walk towards my school, which was already out by now.

"Hey, mute!" I look up at the main bully. He smiles crookedly and motions for me to come to him. "Come'ere." I hesitantly walk up to him and smile shyly. "You shouldn't have done that." He chuckles, punching me in the guts. I double over in pain and clutch my stomach. "You're so stupid."

"So stupid." His minion repeats, making the main guy snarl.

"Shut up."

"Shutting up now."

"Have you gained weight? You're so fat."

"So fat." His minion grins evilly at me.

"I thought I told you to shut up." The main guy glares at him.

"Sorry."

"Anyway," The main guy shakes his head, raising his fist again. "You can't tell anybody about this. Okay? Oh, wait. You can't talk anyway!" They all laugh. Tears sting my eyes and I struggle to stand up. "You're not going anywhere." He grips the back of my shirt, making me stay in my spot. Immediately, punches and kicks were thrown at my body.

"Stop it, NOW!" I hear Liam yell angrily. "I knew it. For all these years, it hasn't stopped, has it?" I shake my head. "Let's get you back. Don't worry, the girls don't know." Liam gently picks me up and carries me the to the orphanage and setting me on my bed.

I sit  down awkwardly, staring at my hands, as Liam cleans up the gashes on my face. Most of the cuts burn as the cold water its my skin, but not much.

"Okay, now, this'll hurt, but you have to stay still or else it'll hurt a lot worse." He holds up disinfectant, making me shrink at the sight. I slowly nod, and he orders me to lay on my back before he gently pours the disinfectant on my face. "Not too bad, now, is it?" I shake my head and smile. "Good. Now, I have to go, but I'll tell tell the others you're okay and your back home." He stands up and walks out of the room, closing the door behind him.

Well, he's changed.
