You'll Never Walk Alone

Niall's POV

I shoved her towards the grate.

"Go, don't look back, just keep going!" I said as the two men came around the corner.

They came at me. I swung at them. I managed to slug one in the nose and the other in the eye. Using those split seconds, I ran towards the grate. As I jumped towards the opening, I felt a hand wrap around my foot. I fell to the ground. A man jumped onto me. I scrambled and twisted. I kicked and scratched.

The man punched my jaw and then gave me another blow to the cheek. I tasted something metallic in my mouth.

He pinned my arms underneath him. I was helpless without my arms. He punched me over and over until I went limp.

He and his partner lugged me up by my arms. Before leaving they slammed the grate close, trapping the others inside.

The dragged me to the front of the warehouse where a very muscular man was waiting for them.

The men threw me on the floor. I landed at his feet. I tried to get up, but the man kicked me back to the ground. I looked up at him. He grabbed my arms and pinned them behind my back harshly. He dragged me backwards through the warehouse. We stopped in front of huge oak doors.

"Boss, I got something for ya!" he shouted through the door. He burst in.

"Gotcha a present!" He says, pushing me forward. I fell to my knees, limp. The man who brought me tilted my head up, hard.

I looked at the man in the chair. This was the guy that wanted to hurt my Nataly.

He said something I didn't care about. I was focusing on the red that suddenly tinted my vision.

"Hey, you look like that kid that Nataly hangs out with," the guy in the labcoat says.

"Must be his doppelganger," the brute behind me laughs.

"Only one way to find out," labcoat walks up to me and rips off my beanie.

He smiles when he sees my hair.

"Ah so you're my first piece in my collection," he smiles evilly.

"Ronald, take him to where we keep our other prisoners. Give me some time. Need to think about what to do with this one," labcoat waves his hand dismissively.

Ronald twists my arm and pins it behind my back again. I groan at the pain.

"Ah he doesn't like pain. Keep going. Get on your way. I need to think," labcoat says as the doors shut.

"Come on scrap heap," Ronald growls. He pulls me towards a hallway and towards a door. He opens the door and yanks me into the room by my hair. He listens to an earpiece. He smiles maliciously.

"Someone will be by to beat the life out of you," he says as he shuts the door.

I rub my wrists and my forearms.

"Niall?" I heard a familiar voice. I turned around.

"Mrs. Stone?" I ask.

She walks over to me and wraps me in a hug. I wince at the sudden pain in my back.

"Oh sweetie, they're terrible. Let me see your back," she turned me around. She pulled up my shirt and breather softly.

"That's going to be a nasty bruise," she says, poking it tenderly.

"I'm going to get worse. They're sending someone to beat me," I say, wincing as she pokes the tender skin.

"Why are they doing that to you? I mean, they don't do anything to us," she says.

"Us?" I ask. I look behind her to see a man in the corner. He was staring at the ground. His gaze shifted from the floor to the small hole in the roof and then back to the ground again.

"That's Nataly's father. He's trying to find out a way to get out," she whispers.

"Well, back to your question, the guy-" I started.

"Reynolds," she interrupted.

"Ok, Reynolds left her a letter yesterday after he captured you. He wrote that if Nataly didn't turn herself in within a day, he would capture Catelyn, the boys, and I and torture us. Liam and the boys took her in. We planned to come and gather some knowledge about this place so we can form a detailed plan on how to get you two out of here. Nataly, Catelyn and Harry are somwhere in the warehouse right now," I said, getting lower at the end.

3 men bust into the room. One of them went to where Nataly's father was sitting. He broke out of his trance and stood and backed away. The man grabbed him and tied his hands behind his back. He knocked him to the floor and tied his feet.

Another man did the same to Mrs.Stone. After they tied both of them, the 3 men formed a circle around me. One of them grabbed me from behind and kneed me in the back.

I yelled in pain. There was a blow to my chin. I felt a punch in my stomach.

"Leave him alone!" Mrs. Stone screamed.

"Shut your mouth!" one of them yelled before punching me again.

I closed my eyes to keep the tears from streaming. I tilted my head back, wincing.

The men continued using me as a punching bag. A blow to my stomach. A blow to my face. A blow to chest.

It took the breath out of me. I opened my eyes. I looked at the ceiling. The men didn't see what I saw there as I stared at the ceiling, trying to get breath into my chest again.

There was a vent on the roof. And through the slits was a pair of eyes. Hazel eyes. Tears glistened in them. The men were too loud to hear but I heard a voice slither through the vent.

I'm going to save you.
