I had to laugh at the comicalness of the situation. It was actually kind of ridiculous. I could see the others shooting me looks of worry and concern, most probably because as soon as Louis had asked where Zayn was I broke into a fit of what could be deemed as ‘maniacal laughter’. It wasn’t evil, I swear. It was just funny.

“He wasn’t with you?” Liam asked worriedly. I looked over at Harry who was strangely silent, but he was gazing intently at the ground not meeting anyone’s eyes.

“Haz, what did you do?” I asked curiously, watching as his head snapped up and his eyes widened.

“I didn’t do anything.” He hissed, eyes turning to slits, and I raised my hands in defense. His hands were clenched in fists by his sides, and I stepped back afraid he would hit me. This is beginning to become a somewhat unhealthy relationship. He watched me step back, eyes softening and arms falling limp at his sides. “I didn’t do anything.” He said softer, sadness in his voice.

“I was just asking, not blaming.” I muttered back, trying to get rid of some of the tension that had flooded the room.

“Alright, let’s take it easy okay. No one’s blaming you Harry, now let’s just go out and look for Zayn. He couldn’t have gotten far.” Liam said, while I nodded in agreement.

“Thanks Li. He couldn’t have left anyways; the perimeter wouldn’t have opened for him.” I said, shooting a small warm smile Liam’s way that he returned. I heard a light growl from Harry, causing me to look over to where he was standing. His arms were crossed over his chest, a scowl on his features. I frowned slightly, but chose to ignore his stance instead walking over to Liam and pulling him out of the back door. Might as well start looking for Zayn. To be honest I was slightly scared of walking with Harry; not knowing what he would do.  

I get it, he’s overwhelmed and is lashing out because of it but it’s painful to watch, and at the same time it scares me more than anything else has. Walkers, I can deal with; the safe zone goons, I can handle but being scared of my own boyfriend is something I can’t. Something that completely terrifies me to no end- I don’t want to be scared my own boyfriend is going to beat the crap out of me. I’ve got enough bruises and cuts and scars to last a lifetime, and I’ve been beaten enough for several lifetimes, I didn’t want to fear that my own boyfriend would do the same to me just because he’s not in the right sense of mind right now.

We wandered down the beach, bare feet leaving imprints in the sand. The sun was up, glistening off the rocking water, had it been under different circumstances with a different guy I would have considered this romantic. And sure, the setting was romantic but the wrong guy was walking next to me so what was the point really? My hand was still on Liam’s arm, dragging him behind me. I really just wanted to get away from angry Harry right now, and find Zayn of course.

When there was no luck at finding him near the water, we continued to circle the perimeter. We walked past large cliffs, blocking any way to the other side. And then we reached the vine wall, and I carefully pulled Liam away from it, keeping him a safe distance from the wall as we walked. He said nothing, although he did shoot me questioning looks. I shrugged them off, not really wanting to explain it just yet. Might as well tell all of them at once rather than repeating myself four times.

We continued to walk around the perimeter, still keeping a safe distance from the wall when I spotted a head of dark hair slowly inching closer to the vine wall that had us bordered in. I gasped, pulling Liam behind me quicker. Realizing that Liam wasn’t going quick enough for me, I dropped his arm and ran towards Zayn, trying to get his attention without actually yelling lest there were any walkers on the other side of the wall.

Unfortunately, that didn’t draw his attention and he continued to curiously step closer to the vine wall. He was inches away from the death flower sat precariously in the intricate designs of the vines. Seconds away from his death and I was so close yet so far. His arm lifted, finger out slowly inching towards the center of the death flower.

The flower began to shrink slightly, causing me to worry more. Before things could get worse, I dove tackling Zayn to the ground. Seconds later, the flower spit out black goop at the place Zayn was standing moments ago. I sighed in relief, watching as it slowly killed the dandelion growing there. I sighed in relief, watching Zayn and Liam shooting me questioning gazes. I frowned, knowing I had some explaining to do, but I wanted to tell them all at once.

I heard a growl behind me. I turned seeing a fuming Harry standing next to a chuckling Louis. Looks like Louis found this comical, but Harry on the other hand…

“What the fuck is going on here?” He hissed. He sounded pissed.

Fucking hell.

I know, I know its really short. BUT I will be working on a much longer update!

 

Some news: I put up my story ideas, so go comment and tell me which ones you guys would rather me write after this story is finished. I’ll keep it up until this story is complete :)

 

Questions:

Why is Harry so angry?

Is Niall going to tell them about the Death Flower?

What did you think about that slight Niam moment?

Is Harry going to stay this aggressive and independent or is it just a phase?

What do you think will happen next?

How did Zayn end up where he did??

 

Kudos to @Alex5342 and @WordsNeverBreak for how invested you guys seem to be in the story.
