*Zayn's POV*

   I was about to turn back when I saw the door. It was quite small, and you would have to duck to get through it. I didn't know what it was, but it seemed to be calling to me. I shook my head, looking over to Perrie to find her staring longingly at it.

   'Come on, Perrie, let's go back. Maybe they found Liam, or even the others.' I knew we shouldn't really be getting our hopes up, but I didn't like being pesimistic.

   'Hm?' Oh, okay,' she replied, only taking a second's glance at me before her attention turned back to the door. I thought I saw her turning to follow me, and began walking myself.

   'Do you think they ound him, Perrie?' I asked, keeping my eyes ahead so as not to bump into anything in the dark. She didn't respond. 'Perrie?'

   I looked around, finding her, not by my side as I had thought, but by the door. She began to reach forward, turning the handle. The door swung open immediately at her touch, as if it had been waiting for her.

   'Perrie?' No answer. 'Perrie?' She walked forward into the dark room. 'Perrie, what are you doing?'

   I began to follow her, but stopped dead when she turned to face me. Her eyes... they weren't hers, yet they were so familiar. They were a little like Liam's when he...

   No!

   'Perrie! Stop!' I yelled, running after her. 'Stop, Perrie, no!' I had nearly reached her, would have been able to touch her if I had reached out. But the door, slammed, right in my face, and then Perrie was gone. They liked to tease us, didn't they?

   'Perrie!' I yelled, banging my fists on the door. 'No, Perrie! Please, no! Please, I'll do anything, please!'

   There was still no response, though.The door wouldn't budge. My phone died at some point, and I chucked it at the wall in anger. I didn't even care when it smashed. What use would it be, anyway, in a place like this? Everyone else would probably be gone by the time that prick Andy opened the door, anyway.

   I turned my back to the door, burying my face in my hands for a second and huffing. Why the fuck were we so stupid? Why did we have to come here, of all places?

   I turned around again, to face the door, but...

   'Oh, shit, no.'

*Niall's POV*

   It was like every time we got back, there was one less person. Liam had gone missing, but Harry and Louis had brought him back, only for Zerrie to never return. Like, what the actual fuck?

   I held Meg close, afraid she might disappear if I let go. I couldn't figure out why I felt so strange around her.

   She gave me butterflied when she just looked at me. Every time I touched her, I felt something run through me. I loved watching her sleep, and not in the pervey way I made that sound. I just...

   Oh my god, I was in love with my best friend! Not Liam, but Meg! What? In our school everyone seemed to think Liam and I were gay for each other. Only at first, though. Now everyone knows it's just a bromance. It was the same for Larry. It probably didn't help that we went to an all-boys school. Anyway, I'm rambling.

   I jumped at the sound of running footsteps, seeing Zayn appear. He was severely out of breath, and probably had been running a long time. I didn't know what had happened, but I knew that Perrie wasn't with him.

   'Zayn?' I asked, but he gave no answer. 'Zayn? Zayn!'

   He seemed to spot Liam, walking towards him in pure anger on his face. The other boys and I stood up to face him, sensing what was about to happen. Zayn threw a punch - which Liam thankfully dodged - and began to yell.

   'You stupid little motherfucker!' he screamed. 'If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have gone back out there, and Perrie would still be here!'

   'Jesus, Zayn! Calm down!' he yelled back.

   'Calm down? How the fuck do you expect me to calm down? You're so fucking selfish! You're not the only one who's been affected by this! You're not the only one who got the love of your life taken away!'

   'When did I say I was?' Liam yelled defensively.

   'You didn't, but you're sure as hell acting like it! Going off by yourself and getting lost and acting all crazy (crazy crazy till we see the sun)!'

   'I didn't mean to get lost! I don't mean to be acting all crazy! And the only reason I went off by myself was because these two are intent on watching me, and I didn't want to get in the way of them!'

   'Oh, yeah, right, of course!' Zayn replied sarcastically. 'You probably just wanted to be the hero that found them all by yourself!'

   'What the fuck, Zayn? Do you really honestly think I'm like that?'

   'Oh, I don't know! I mean, you want to be a fireman, right? They save a lot of people! And what about the time we thought we heard someone scream and you went all superman and went to go save them. What was it again? Oh yeah, a cow!'

   'Oh, fuck you, Zayn! You came with me!'

   'Yeah, with a torch!'

   'Just fuck off!'

   'Oh, great comeback!' Zayn yelled sarcastically.

   'Well at least I'm not blaming everyone else for Perrie going missing when it was you who let her go! I at least can admit that it's my fault Caitlin's gone!'

   'I'm not blaming everyone else, I'm blaming you!'

   'Hey, Liam's got a point!' Louis added. 'I'm guessing you were with Perrie when she got taken, so it's not Liam's fault.'

   Zayn changed suddenly, his voice dropping quieter but the anger was still there. 'No, you're right. After all, it was your idea to come here. If it weren't for you, none of us would be here at all.'

   'What the fuck, Zayn?' Louis replied. 'Why are you blaming me now?'

   'Because it's wrong to blame Liam,' he said, faking innocence.

   'Oh, shut the fuck up!' I yelled. Wow, how the fuck did I manage to yell that loud?

   'Do you seriously think that standing here yelling at each other is going to help get the girls back?'

   They all looked down at their feet sheepishly, saying nothing.

   'Right. Well, I think we should start by asking where you lost Perrie, Zayn.' I made sure to say 'YOU lost Perrie'. I wasn't usually very authoritive, but I liked it.

   'Well, um, I'm not sure that'll help.'

   'Why?'

   'Because she kind of went through a door, and then it wouldn't open. I turned away for only a few seconds, and when I looked back...' He hesitated.

   'When you turned back...?' I prompted.

   'The door... it was gone.'

OOOOOHHH! Where did the door go? Ah!

Again, so sorry Liam and Danielle!

Liam xx ;)

Ta-ta for now!
