Charlotte's POV

I stopped in front of the door to compose myself. The key turned in the lock, my heart was beating. I hoped they never heard the sirens or  the alarms, they could run out at any moment. With one swift push, the door swung open.

The boys were all jumping around and smiling. They all seemed so happy, it made me smile. I hadnt seen them all this happy. Even Harry and Liam seemed to finally have a heart. Too bad, their happy thoughts were about to be ruined.

"Come on. We're leaving" I shouted.

Their heads all shot in my direction.

"W-What do you mean leaving?" Niall asked.

"The police are coming. We've got to leave." I stated, not looking any of them in the eye.

"No, Charlotte. Everyone is leaving. Except for you." Harry smirked, whispering the last part. Advancing towards me.

"W-what do you mean?" I backed away from harry as far as possible.

"Your staying here" He said slowly.

He kept getting closer and closer as i was backing away. I managed to back myself into the corner. Exactly the stupid mistake i used to make when i was a kid. Backing myself into a corner so the bullies knew i had no escape. Harry's arms came to my side as he leaned towards me.

"Now, your going to help us get out. Otherwise" he paused and leaned back. Looking me in the eye then punching me in the stomach. "that wont be the only thing coming. Got it?" I nodded.

"Okay guys! Charlotte's helping us and all the prisoners, arnt you Charlie!?" Harry said, pulling me forward. I nodded again looking at the floor. "So, lead the way."

I walked out of the door and showed them to the set of keys that open all the doors. And they set about, freeing all of the prisoners. I just looked on helplessley, i couldnt do anything to stop them. Everyone was probably already gone anyway. Once the prisoners were free, they continued up the stairs until we reached the highest underground floor.

Once again they did the same, freeing all the prisoners.

"Guys, we did it!" Niall yelled, jumping and smiling. High fiving eachother.

"Come on then boys, lets get out of here!" Louis ran up the stairs with the Zayn and Niall following him. Liam and Harry hung back. This could not be good.

"Thanks for that babe, we owe you one." Harry smirked.

"yeah, come with us we need to show you something" Liam said, pulling me in the directon of an empty cell. "Look"

He pushed me forward into the cell, i walked in and looked around. There was nothing in here, it was completely empty. I turned round to state my confusion to the boys but all I saw was the door slamming. I immediately ran up to it banging on it until my fists were red with pain. I screamed until i couldnt scream anymore.

"THATS WHAT YOU GET BITCH. DONT MESS WITH ONE DIRECTION!" This was the last thing i heard before i collapsed on the floor in a heap. Crying, whimpering, begging for someone to come and help me before this cell turned to my grave.

Niall's POV

The boys and I escaped. I cant believe it! We escaped and we help every other undeserving prisoner escape too! We ran up the stairs and stopped at the top. Waiting for Harry and Liam to catch up. They came up about 2 minutes after us. I must have been looking at them strangly because Liam then said.

"Harry had to tie his shoes"

Harry didnt have laces. Something was up. But i was too happy to even think about how strange those two were acting, we ran up to the top to be met with the best scene ever. All the prisoners jumping around, meeting their families again after, who knows how long. The kidnappers being locked up and police everywhere.

Then we saw the face we had been looking for. Simon! We ran up to him and tackled him to the ground. I was so happy that he was here, he made this all possible! I cant believe we are finally out after over a week of being trapped like animals.

"Oh boys! Im so glad we found you! I was worried sick!" Simon said, tears coming to his eyes.

"We're fine! A few cuts and scratches but we're all fine!" Liam said, pulling back from the hug.

"Where are our families?" Zayn asked

"I thought it would be best to have a re-union this evening, it's still pretty early. And we dont really want an emotional reunion in public." He said seriously. I understood, after all. We dont know who is hanging around here with camera's.

Simon checked in with the police that we were safe and well. All they said was officers would be about tomorrow to get evidence and information, and that it was probably best that we got checked out at the hospital as soon as. We thanked the police and started to hop into the car.

BANG!

The sound of a gunshot rang through the air. Everyone immediately screamed and hid themselves behind cars. We did the same. I looked around for the source of the gunshot and placed eyes on the man i least wanted to see.  Chris Campbell. I immediately froze. Just his name made me think back to that day. The sound of his growly voice, the evil glint in his eyes and the feel of the knife on my skin. It was horrible.

"OK. NOBODY COME ANY CLOSER." He yelled. Now i think of it, he kind of looks like Charlotte.

"IF I DONT GET MY DAUGHTER BACK RIGHT NOW, THIS BUILDING GOES UP IN FLAMES." His hand reached into his pocket and pulled out a silver pad with a big red button on it. Like the one's you see in movies.

"I SUPPOSE NOBODY HEARD ME. IF I DO NOT GET MY DAUGHTER, CHARLOTTE CAMPBELL BACK NOW. THIS BUILDING GOES UP IN FLAMES!" He yelled again.

My eyes went wide, Charlotte was his daughter. But where was she. I hadnt seen her since we ran up the stairs. Nobody answered and Charlotte was no where to be seen.

"OK, HAVE IT YOUR WAY."  He yelled and with one swift click of a button, the building exploded. Bright orange flames being violently thrown out the front doors. Windows smashed and doors were being blown off.

"Oh. Shit" I heard Harry and Liam mutter. We all turned to them.

"What did you do?" Zayn asked angrily.

"Well.. urm.. charlotte.." Thats all i had to hear, i was off. Running towards the building as fast as my legs could carry me. No matter how many people were shouting my name, telling me to stop. No matter how many people that tried to get in my way, I kept running. She had done everything for me even when it could have got her in so much trouble, I owed her this. I heard people running after me, i knew who they were.

My bestfriends wouldnt let me die, and Zayn wouldnt let Charlotte die either. I ran through various corridoors, fire burning around me, screaming from outside, footsteps behind me. I was thinking one thing. Its time to save a life.
