Something broke outside. "I asked did you see a young couple in here! Do not lie!" a really loud voice yelled. "They're going to hurt the owners" I whispered and Harry noticed my tear filled eyes. Some other man kept talking about me and all the things he would do to once he finds us. "I would kill Harry with my own hands, and then bury him in his own yard," nasty words left his mouth.
"I'm going out," I wiped a tear that fell from my eyes and snatched the gun from Harry. "Athena. No" he whispered loudly and grabbed my wrist which reached out for the door. "Back down now," Liam's voice boomed from outside and Harry swiftly grabbed the gun, opened the door and shot the men down. My eyes widened as I looked at Harry towering over the bodies with anger written all over his face.
"You okay love?" Niall was by my side.
"I'm fine. I- I just want to leave. Now," I rubbed my arms as another coat was put over my shoulder.
Niall walked me out of the restaurant once I made sure the owners were fine. I was in a different car from Harry and didn't even bother to look at him. I rest my head on Niall's shoulder, listening to him sing along to the music playing in the car. Soon we reached home and walked directly to my room, changed my clothes and buried myself under the covers.
"Athena?"
I felt Harry sit down next to me, my back was faced towards him. My eyes were shut and I think he noticed that as he simply lay next to me. His soft hands caressing my lower back in a relaxing way. He was really soft with me and that confused me so much. Our relationship at start was just us fighting and me ending up being held against the wall. He sure was aggressive and still is.
"Are you hungry?" Harry asked and I turned around to face him as his hand rested on my hip.
"We'll make it out of this mess right?" I looked up at his shining green eyes.
"I'm sure we will," he nodded and moved a curl away from his face.
He caressed my cheek as I closed my eyes. "Go to sleep love, tomorrow is going to be a better day," he whispered and so I did, I fell asleep with my body pressed against Harry's.
I got ready before leaving the room.

It was very cold here and I hated it so much. "Morning," I skipped downstairs and grabbed an apple and made myself tea. "You're in a happy mood today," Harry spoke and I turned to face him. "What's not be happy about? Yesterday was a bad day but let's forget about it and move on," I said and pointed my finger at him. "Sounds perfect," he took my hand in his and pulled me close to him causing me to squeal. "It does," I touched his lips, pushing him back as he pouted. Liam called him to the office so he left, leaving me alone with my tea. I went to the basement library and read a book.
As soon as I finished the book I went upstairs to find the lads with their girlfriends. "Hi!" I waved at the girls sitting on Zayn and Louis's laps. They waved back and I took a seat on the empty chair. "Can I please go shopping with Eleanor and Gigi please? You can come if you want," I pleaded and Harry looked at the boys before shrugging. "Yeah as long as you listen to what I say," he said and I nodded. "Cool let's go," I pulled the girls up and walked to the car. Harry and the boys joined us and got in the car. I drove us to the mall, it was long trip as Harry's house was away from all humans.
The mall staff didn't dare to even glance at us as we walked straight in. "Take this," Niall handed me a gun for my safety. I put it in my dagger pouch and walked with everyone. We did a lot of shopping and the boys were very annoyed.
"You look great Athena! Now can we please go to the food court?" Harry cried out as I walked out of the trial room in the seventh outfit I picked.
"Give me two minutes," I quickly changed back to my original outfit.
We bought the outfits we preferred and went to the food court. It was peaceful, sitting with friends and enjoying a meal. Like normal people would. But of course things are never normal. A gun shot sounded through the entire mall. Everyone ran around in a frenzy, my eyes widened as I clutches the gun. Harry held my hand as we ran away from the where the gun was sounded.
"Styles! You better give Athena to us, or we'll kill one of you," a man screamed as we ran down the escalator.
Harry didn't reply and kept looking over at me.
"They are going to follow us back at the house Harry," Louis shouted as all of us slipped inside the car.
"Then we won't go back to the house!" Harry said in a hurry and started driving. I did a mental count making sure everyone was in. I held the dashboard tightly as Harry raced through the streets of London. Liam and Zayn were looking behind from the windows and shooting every two seconds.
My knuckles were white from holding the gun very tightly. "Hey Athena. I won't let them touch you okay?" Harry looked at me before swerving suddenly. "Okay" I breathed out. Suddenly the car skidded as a loud bang was heard.
"They got the tire!" Zayn screamed. The next thing I knew, Harry threw himself over me. Covering my body with his. Harry had one hand under my back and the other holding the gun. Both my hands held on to his shirt for support, my neck was pressed up against the car door.
The car door was broken and the men pulled Harry out and then me. "Harry!" I thrashed around, kicking the men. "Finally got her," he held my hair pulling me back. There were a lot of men, we were out numbered.
"Let her go! Call your coward boss!" Harry spat out and groaned at being hit on the head by the man holding him back. "Shut up. Johnny hold them back while I take her to boss," he tried dragging me but I stood my ground. I bent down which made it difficult for him to drag me away. "Fight him Athena!" one of the boys shouted.
But he was stronger and picked me up by my waist. I screamed and kicked around, I even elbowed his nose. He threw me inside the car and locked all the doors. "Let me go!" I screamed and tried opening the doors. I looked at Harry who was fighting the man holding him back. My head bowed in disappointment as I watched the boys disappear.
"We got her boss," I was dragged by my hair to a house smaller than Harry's. "Well well well. Look who we have here," Eric helped me up with his filthy hands on my shoulders. "Do not touch me!" I pushed him harshly causing him to stumble back. "Fiesty eh? Take her to the room," he said and there I was being dragged again. His men threw me inside a dark room, there was nothing there. The walls and floor were a dirty black colour. There was a small window, really small so there was a no way I'd be able to get out through it.
"Specifically designed for you love. Beautiful isn't it?" Eric stood near the door holding a knife. "It's just like you, disgusting. At least Harry gave me a proper room," I shrugged and stood up straight as Eric approached me. He touched the cold blade to my shoulder, my breathe hitched as he made a deep cut. "This is going to happen everytime you mention Harry," he whispered lowly. "Doesn't matter to me. I'll kill you before Harry comes," I put more pressure on Harry's name. A smirk was evident on my face as Eric made another cut on my side. I easily hid my flinch and walked away from him.
"Now this is your room. Hope you enjoy your stay, cause it's never going to end, queen," a evil smile replaced his smirk before he left the room, banging the heavy door shut.
This was it for me then. I was stuck in here for a long time. No going back I guess.
