alone in the world (with you by my side)

free at last (right into your arms)

Hi guys! I´m back and so sorry for not updating anything in like years. This was supposed to be a oneshot but it got a bit long and I am just so excited about this that I can´t wait any longer so I decided to make it into a small series instead. I have always loved the a/b/o universe but I think it´s a shame that every time I read about it all it focus on is sex, and heat. I want more of the dynamics of it all and seeing as I don´t write smut I decided to write something of my own. Something that isn´t about sex, so if you´re here for smut I am sorry to disappiont but there won´t be any. Now, go read it and enjoy! xx

Louis had never been very good at running; he always found something to trip over or got too tired to continue. This time is different though, this time he´s running for his life. Everything hurts and if the people chasing him don’t manage to kill him he´s sure he will die from exhaustion. He can still hear their angry shouts behind him so despite his legs protests he speeds up. He´s bleeding, he´s not sure where but he can feel the wetness of it and smell it in the air. His ribs are moving strangely under his skin and he´s pretty sure his ankle is broken. This is nothing though, compared to what will happen to him if they manage to catch him again. He can´t get caught. This is his only chance at freedom.

He jumps over a small fence and is greeted by more trees, yet another wood. Something is different though, the shouting has stopped and Louis can finally hear himself think again. He must have crossed some kind of border, maybe this is where their territory ends? Despite that he keeps running, he needs to get as far away from his captors as possible.

After about ten minutes of running his vision is starting to get blurry and he stumbles slightly. He must be really out of it because he is certain that he can see a house, but that can´t be right. Why would there be a gigantic house in the middle of nowhere? Louis doesn´t get the time to think about it any longer though because his legs are giving out under him and after lying there in the grass for a while he finally closes his eyes and rests.

He never planned on to actually pass out and yet here he is. There´s an annoying beeping noise waking him up and he decides that it´s probably the machine that he´s currently hooked up to. He´s at a hospital? No that doesn´t seem right, the room is too small, too personalised to be a hospital room. The only similarities are that almost everything is white and the machines and the equipment looks pretty legit. He hasn´t been to a hospital since he was captured though so he can´t be sure. The pain is numbed he discovers and he´s in different clothes, it feels nice no longer being covered in dirt and blood.

His calm is interrupted by voices outside of the room, that’s when it really hits him that he has no idea where he is. Who found him? Are they friendly or is it the same people that took him all those years ago? He quickly pushes the blanket off of him but as he tries to sit up he yelps in pain.

“Whoa easy there buddy!” A voice exclaims and then there´s a hand on his shoulder pushing him down on the bed again. Said person is smiling down at him with bright blue eyes, he´s got blond hair and as Louis takes a deep breath he realises that the blond is a beta. Louis begins to panic again at that realisation and the betas eyes widen quickly as he backs away.

“Hey it´s okay mate, I´m not gonna hurt ya. I was the one who patched you up, see?” He points towards a badge that´s attached to his white shirt. Niall Horan – Doctor. Louis calms down a little at that, he´s still a beta though so he scots away slightly, his eyes never leaves the smiling man.

“W-where am I? Is this a hospital?” He finally finds the courage to ask and the man, Niall, smiles down at him.

“Nah, this aint no hospital I´m afraid. Don´t worry though, I have graduated and everything.” He winks and Louis knows it´s just supposed to be friendly, that Niall is just joking. It still makes him feel uncomfortable and Louis hates himself for it.
