One By One (One Direction Fanfic)

Fight

*Zayn's POV*

I mustered up all the magic I had left in me to scrape up to perform one last genie trick.

"I'm sorry."I whispered lifting my head off Liam's shoulder. He looked confused, but as purple smoke clouded my vision so did his look of recognition.

"ZAYN, NO!"He yelled but I was already gone. I found myself standing on the edge of that cliff seriously questioning what I was doing.

"Zayn you know you want this all to end."One of the voices arguing inside my head said.

"No, you know you don't Zayn you have so many people to live for if not for yourself."The other said it continuing like that until I couldn't handle it anymore.

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP!"I yelled covering my ears trying to block out the noise and falling to my knees. I stood up with new resolve and placed my toes on the edge of the cliff. I stared down at the dark welcoming abyss below and just let go.

*Liam's POV*

Why was he doing this again? I knew where he was going now the only problem was where was this place he was going? He would head towards a cliff and take one hell of a nose dive. I raced out the front door of Faylinn's house ignoring the dizzy feeling trying to take over my head and cloud my judgement.

"Liam, stop it you're not helping by running around in your dazed state!"Clarissa yelled at me and I turned to her. My anger had built to the breaking point. Harry stepped in front of her and pulled her up onto his back in a protective manner.

"I CAN'T LOSE ZAYN!"I yelled back at her."They'll never let me stay if I lose him."Clarissa looked down at me from Harry's back and frowned.

"I won't let them reassign you Li. I need you, they need you."She said gesturing her hand in a circle towards all the boys."Now let’s think about this in an orderly fashion. Where is Zayn?"I shook my head to clear it.

"He's probably jumping off a cliff right about now."I said.

"There's a cliff about a half a mile away from here."Faylinn said, her voice was quiet and her face was pale as she said it.

"We'll then we'd better get moving.

*Niall's POV*

"Zayn!"I yelled looking up at every rocky ledge within my sight. I heard someone yell that sounded a lot like Zayn. I looked up in the direction the noise had come from and gasped. There stood Zayn, looking down at the ground. Then he just fell forward, tumbling through the air, hurdling towards the ground. It was like slow motion but I sprang into action. I did what came naturally to me, I flew, and as fast as I could I flew. I felt something heavy hit my arms and realised that I'd caught Zayn.

"No, let me die!"He screamed but my grip on him only tightened the more he begged for me to let him go.

*Khyrah's POV*

I slammed my fist down on the arm of my chair.

"How dare they defy my plan!"I yelled feeling the angry rise up inside me, building from the depths of my soul. I had to take care of this myself. I watched a little longer and found myself smiling evilly at something I saw. So Harry and Clarissa were together now, how cute, the horse freak and the freak detector. I chuckled and it built into an evil laugh as a plan formulated. They would never see it coming.

"Human!"I yelled snapping my fingers at the blank eyed human man I kept as a slave.

"Yes Khyrah."He said quite monotoned actually."Get me the charms, lamp and wands of the people I imprisoned. Including Faylinn, hers as well."He bowed out and shuffled down the hallway to get what I wanted. Yes, they'd never see what I had in store.

*Clarissa's POV*

I gasped as I saw Zayn take that nose dive. A golden streak and suddenly here stood Niall with a thrashing, sobbing Zayn in his arms.

"Just let me die!"He cried and Niall placed him gently on the ground. He curled into a ball on his side and wept. I couldn't even watch and I buried my head into Harry's shoulder wiping my tears on his t-shirt.

"Shh, Claire it's OK."Harry said reaching his hand back and interlocking his fingers with mine.

"I have had enough of this."Khyrah said suddenly appearing beside our group. Zayn stopped crying, his eyes looked bright and full of life.

"My lamp."He said weakly, his voice hoarse and quiet. Khyrah smiled and glided towards him.

"That's right genie."She said grabbing his chin and digging in her fingers slightly."I've decided you must fight for your belongings."Liam stiffened and Zayn got to his feet. A new determination was set in his eyes and he seemed to be readying for battle. He began to run at her but she threw up her hand. An invisible force slammed into his chest throwing him back against the trees as the wrapped him in a branch and bark cocoon. Liam circled around her and she laughed.

"You pathetic hunters, you always protect the freaks."She growled making a slapping motion with her hand. Liam's face snapped to the left spinning him on his heel. He tumbled to the ground struggling to get up.

"Can't. Breathe."He managed to say before Khyrah sent him spiralling backwards towards the trees. He hit the trunk of a dead willow with a sickening crack. He dropped to the ground at it's roots groaning as he tried to stand but his arms gave out. He was finished. I spun my head around and found that Danielle had been knocked unconscious. I slipped off Harry's back as he readied to charge. Before he even began to run he was hit with a flying Niall and both were pinned to a tree.

"It’s just you and me now sweetheart."She said and I gulped. I didn't know what I do, I just froze. Her head threw back and she began to laugh.

"Pathetic little half-breed."She muttered before I was thrown back hitting a tree.

"Claire no!"Harry screamed as I felt my arm snap. I screamed as I rolled on the ground letting out frame racking sobs.

"You bitch!"Harry screamed and I could hear the tears distorting his voice. Khyrah's response was only to laugh and laugh some more.
