~Niall~

I scrambled up, moving steadily as to not show how scared I truly was. I hadn’t been this scared since the safe zone. I was absolutely terrified. And that wasn’t something I wanted to be, not around my own boyfriend.

I’m sure this was just a phase, this aggressiveness that had taken over my Harry but I didn’t know when it would go away. And I wanted, needed, it to go away. I needed my Harry back, he was in there somewhere just a little too far to reach. It killed me that I couldn’t find him, couldn’t bring the real him back. If I had just kept my mouth shut, Harry would still be the cute, innocent curly haired lad that I had fallen in love with, and not this aggressive man that needed to be in control. Sure, he must be feeling like he has no control, but the violence and aggression wouldn’t help him gain any.

I slowly held my hand out to help Zayn up, but a deep growl caused me to retract it just as quickly. Louis glanced over at Harry warily, walking over to us and helping Zayn up. Zayn shot me an incredulous look, a look that read ‘why the fuck did you tackle me?’ I smiled shyly, choosing not to comment on the look.

Warm arms wrapped around my waist, my back being pushed against a strong chest.

“Mine.” He whispered, a hint of sadness lacing his tone as he peppered small kisses on the side of my neck. I melted into the embrace, loving the feeling of him holding me, comforting me, claiming me. His jealousy was cute, comforting even, and hot. A small smile graced my features, knowing I still had my Harry, even if he was slightly hidden right now under an aggressive shell.

“None of you are to go near this wall, or any of those flowers you hear me?” I commanded voice strong. They all nodded, curiosity blanketing their features, at least I assumed Harry’s features held at least a trace of curiosity as well.

“Um, just wondering but… Why?” Liam asked, scratching the back of his neck.

“That flower, will kill you if it gets the chance. It’s evolved, it hosts the virus and it’s just as bad as a walker, except it doesn’t bite it shoots a spike of sorts covered in the virus at anything that isn’t a walker. You get too close and you’re a goner, so just stay away from them, and just the gate in general. You never know when a walker decides it wants to come in here, the wall will open and then you’re screwed. It’s for the best.”

They all nodded in understanding, the three standing in front of me each took a large step to their right- distancing themselves from the wall. It all happened in perfect synchronization, so I had to hold in my chuckles at how comical it looked. Harry shuffled us a little to the left, away from the wall of death flowers, tripping over my feet several times as he did so. I couldn’t help it, and I broke into fits of laughter, the whole situation turning out to be bittersweet but hilarious all the same.

I doubled over still laughing, the position slightly awkward because Harry didn’t let go of me. The others soon followed, Harry included, and we just stood there laughing at each other and our selves. It felt so nice to laugh, to see Harry laugh again, and to see everyone so happy again. It all felt so nice.

And that caused me to burst into tears. I collapsed to the ground, tears running down my face as sobs wracked through my body. My knees dug into the dirt ground, hands covering my face as I bawled my eyes out. The laughs stopped as suddenly as my sobbing had begun. Strong arms wrapped around me again, a warm body engulfing mine.

“Shhhhh, shhhh love please shhhhhh. Calm down, love what’s wrong?” A deep voice cooed into my ear but everything was just so overwhelming. Everything just hit me all at once, the safe zone, the aggression, losing my friends, everything. It was all too much, it was all too overwhelming.

And soon I blacked out.

So I know this is short, but I really wanted to get a chapter out for you all.

My next update will be longer, I promise.  

I’m sorry about the cliffhanger (not really aha) but feel free to rant.

 

Is Niall going to be okay?

Is Harry going to step up and take care of Niall?

How are the other 3 going to react? What are they going to do?

How is Niall going to react if he wakes up?

Is Niall going to get a personality switch like Harry?

Is Harry going to go back to his normal self?

 

I would love it if I could get a comment for every person that reads this chapter. It could be a smiley face, what you had for breakfast, even the name of your pet alpaca….
