Forbidden Territory (H.S) [A.U]

Chapter 11

"Some times I think too much,
yeah, I get so caught up.
I'm always stuck in my head.
I wish I could escape."

***

Darkness. That's all I'm surrounded with. 

The room feels cold... So cold...

Why is it so cold?

Where am I?

I try look around in the darkness, where is everyone?

"Lou?... Chris?... Liam?"

No one.

Suddenly, the sound of a heavy metal door creaking echoes throughout the room as it is pushed open. I flinch slightly but for some reason, I can recognize the sound so well.

Torture cell?

I'm in a torture cell...?

I try to move my hands but realize that they are shackled. What's happening?

White light illuminates the cold dark room as the metal door opens all the way.

I squint my eyes, trying to adjust to the sudden brightness. As my eyes focus, I see a tall silhouette standing in the doorway.

The person standing there looks awfully.. familiar.

I try to move around but the chains around my wrists are too heavy, barely letting me move.

"I'm sure you have the wrong person. Why the fuck am I down here?" I spit.

The person doesn't respond but just stands there.

After a moment of standing still, they slightly tilt their head and the sound of a chuckle echoes through the room, making a shiver run down my spine.

"Oh, but I think I definitely have the right person."

That voice... I know that voice...

That's Harry's voice...

"Harry..?"

"Bingo!" He cheers.

"Harry, why am I here? What the fuck are you doing? Where is everyone else?!"

"Wow okay, easy with the questions, love," he says as he walks towards me. 

He crouches down in front of me and I'm able to see his face a bit clearly, "It's a very long story and I don't think we have enough time for a story time."

"Answer. Me." I seethe.

"Oh Irene, you're not the in charge here anymore." He says softly as he brings his hand up to my face to caress my cheek gently and I lean away from his touch.

But suddenly, the gentle touch turns into a harsh grip as he grabs my jaw tightly, narrowing his eyes, "So I suggest, you watch that tone of yours."

Neither do I flinch nor do I let out the whimper that's about to leave my mouth. I just stare directly in his green orbs and ask, "What happened?"

"You trusted the wrong person love, that's all that happened. Maybe you shouldn't have done that. So many people warned you. But you're stupid. Got fooled so easily."

What?

My chest tightens and I don't say anything back. I lower my head in shame as a sheen layer of tears blurs my vision.

A devilish smile spreads over his face and his green orbs that once looked so calm, now look terrifying and lifeless,

"You trusted me blindly, and I proved you to be blind."
