Chapter Seventeen.

_____________________________________________________________________

*Niall's POV*

I clenched my eyes as tightly as I could once the man pressed down on the button, sending thousands of particles of electricity into Louis' body per second.

Louis' anguished screams filled the air, accompanied by the loud buzzing sound of the electricity and the painful cries that escaped Eleanor's mouth.

I tried my hardest to block out the sounds, not wanting to believe that one of my best mates was being electrocuted to death right in front of my eyes. Still, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop the anguished cries from entering my eardrums.

It seemed to last forever..days, months, even decades, but it was only a few seconds until Lou stopped screaming in pain, and the buzzing of the electrocution died down, and the only sounds filling the room were El's sobs and the man's evil laugh of joy.

"No! Louis, why? Louis! Lou!" Eleanor cried in agony.

Quiet sobs began to fill the room from all sides. I then felt a shaking inside of my chest, and a quiet noise escaped my lips. I was crying as well as the others were.

I then opened my eyes, only to wish I hadn't.

The first thing I noticed when I opened them was a foggy smoke filling the air around the chair, and then the body that was sat in it.

Louis was unrecognizable. The body that was sat in the electric chair was almost completely burnt to a crisp, the flesh, hair, and clothes as black as charcoal. There was smoke lifting from his lifeless body, a slight sizzling sound coming from the burnt corpse. There was no way that you could tell that was Louis. It wasn't Lou anymore. It was now just a crisped corpse.

"You fucking dick! You killed him! What the fuck did he ever do to you?! You asswhole!" Eleanor shouted angrily at the man, only to get a smirk of enjoyment in return.

Woah. Who would've ever thought El would ever cuss once in her life? I surely hadn't.

Wait, speaking of girls..where was Sam?

No.

My heart skipped a beat when I realized what had happened to her.

He killed her.

Just like he had Carina.

"You fucking killed, Sam! You killed my girlfriend! What the fuck?! You sick motherfucker!" I exploded, unable to hold in my anger and hate for what he had done to the love of my life.

"Oh, Shortie, I thought you'd never notice she was gone," he smirked, flashing me a sick crooked smile.

Anger boiled inside of me, and I wanted so badly then and there to punch the man smack in his jaw.

At the same time, sadness and other mixtures of emotions swirled through me, and I then felt something wet and warm run down my cheeks.

How could he do this? Samantha was innocent, and so young too. She didn't deserve to die at such a young age;she didn't even get to live life yet. If I could go back in time and choose myself to die instead of her, I would without a seconds thought.

"Go to hell," I spat at him, hate and anger clear in my eyes.

I then felt a burning sensation run through the side of my cheek, and my head snapped to the side.

"Stop, leave him alone, please!" Kristel pleaded, and I looked at her to see salty tears running freely down her slightly bruised cheeks.

He then slapped her straight across her face, a dark purple bruise immediately forming in the shape of his hand on the side of her cheek.

"Get your hands off her!" Zayn shouted at him angrily.

"Shut the fuck up, all of you! Or you all die!" he snapped wildly, causing us all to jump back in our chains with fear and shock. "Now listen. I'm going to be right back. I've gotta go and dump your little friend here in the back. When I get back, we'll continue our game, okay? Don't go anywhere," he grinned, before covering up Lou's burnt body with a black bag and swooping him over his shoulder, and leaving the room to dump him in the back carelessly before he would get back and continue his fun little game.

As soon as he left, Spencer unexpectedly dropped from his chains, landing on his feet on the floor and dusting off his pants.

"H-how did you get out?" Dani choked, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"I know my ways. Come on, we're gunna get out of here," he said softly, heading over to Danielle and pulling out a clip from his back pocket, before he began messing with the chains.

Within seconds of his work, Dani fell from her chains, landing on the floor with a slight thump.

"Thankyou, Spencer," she said quietly, as she slowly got up to her feet.

"No problem. Stay right there and keep a lookout;make sure he doesn't come back. I'll get everyone else out of their chains, and we'll get out of here," he said, going over to Zayn's side, clip ready in hand.

"Are you sure you're going to let me out? You don't particularly like me, so I thought you'd leave me here to be killed," Zayn spat, spit landing on Spencer's face.

Spencer grimaced. "I don't. But Kristel loves you, a lot, so I'm not going to hurt her any more than I already have, so I have no choice but to save you." He then moved closer in, till his face was only centimeters from Zayn's, and whispered, "But just remember, pretty boy..I'll get her back. If it's the last thing I do," and unlocked the chains, causing Zayn to fall to his knees on the ground below.

"Spencer!" Kristel shouted, calling him over to let her out next.

He gave Zayn one last smirk, and turned back around and went to Kristel to unlock her chains.

"It's okay, Kris. We'll get out of here," he reassured her, pressing his lips to her forehead quickly, before breaking the chains on her wrists, causing her to fall into his open arms.

She nodded, but quickly got out of his hold and ran over to Zayn's side, making sure he was okay.

"Spencer, hurry up, he's gunna be here any minute!" Danielle yell-whispered at him.

After a minute or two, Harry, Liam, Eleanor, and I were out of our chains as well.

"El, we have to go! Please, get up," Harry begged, trying to get Eleanor off from the floor, who was currently bawling in her hands.

"I can't, Harry. There's no reason for me to live now. Louis is gone! I just want to die!" she cried, not making an effort to move one bit.

"Yes you do, El. Please don't say that," he murmured, before sighing and putting his arms under Eleanor's thighs and swooping her up in one swift move.

"We have to go now!" Liam exclaimed, and we all started rushing out of the room, following Spencer, who was currently leading us through the building.

"Spenc, do you even know where the way out of here is?" Kristel whispered.

"No, but I'm hoping it's this way," he replied casually.

We then seen a door that had light coming out from it-sunshine.

"Lads, I think that's the way out!" I breathed, relief rushing over me. Maybe we'd actually get out of here alive after all.

Just as I thought we were okay, an all too familiar figure appeared from the door, causing us all to take a few steps back, and our hearts stopped in our chests.

There, blocking our way to freedom, was our kidnapper, standing there with an evil grimace on his face with a sharp object in his right hand.

Shit.
