Apocalypse [h.s.]

Chapter seven

I was completely shocked by what Zayn had just told me. They had taken Niall. The GMF, and Zayn was completely devastated. I couldn't exactly blame him. Niall was like his brother. He was the first to guide Zayn around in this town when nobody else would. They moved here when Zayn was 17 and Niall was 16, so they were pretty young when they first met. Zayn had told me all this when we hung out one day.

"What are we going to do, Violet? They're not controllable, you know that!"

I nodded, thoughtful. I had no idea what we could do. All I knew was that we had to save Niall. It would be very dangerous, but he was my friend, and Zayns best friend.

"Well, we know they won't listen to us either way. So the only thing left is..." I looked at Zayn with a questioning look to try and get an answer, because I didn't really know what we could do. I looked at Harry, too, to see if he had an idea, but he seemed clueless.

Zayn shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, really. Maybe we could invade the place if we just obtained loads of weapons or something."

I could hear Harry chuckle in the corner of the room, leaning against the wall with his hands crossed.

"Are you stupid? Do you really believe that three people can invade an area with thousands of soldiers guarding the whole place 24/7?"

He had a point. Although he didn't have to be so rude whilst saying it. There were nicer ways to talk to people rather than calling them stupid on the first paragraph.

"No, I'm not stupid. I just tried to come up with something and help, unlike someone else" Zayn snapped back and narrowed his eyes at Harry.

I didn't have a good feeling about the two of them together. They seemed pretty rough against eachother.

"I actually have a lot of ideas in my head that I want to tell Violet, but your mouth just won't shut up" he spat at Zayn, whilst smiling mockingly at him. It literally looked like Zayn was going to choke him.

"Relax, boys! I don't want you two to go all Edward and Jacob on eachother. Remember we are going to work together, so I suggest you guys start over and forget about this" I said, feeling the tense between the two of them. They both nodded, and luckily seemed to agree with me.

"Do you guys want some coffe?"

Zayn nodded and smiled at me.

"Sure, that'd be lovely, thanks" Harry said and smiled. I could spot two dimples placed on his cheeks.

I started making coffee, and I couldn't help but notice the wave of awkwardness floating in the room between us. Or, between them. Why were they being so rude to eachother? Couldn't they just get along like normal people? I guess they were too childish for that. They barely looked at eachother, and when they did, I felt like they were going to strangle eachother.

"Here you go." I handed a cup of coffee to Zayn.

"Thanks, Violet." Zayn gave me a wink before I went over to Harry.

"Thank you, love. I appreciate it" he said and smiled at me. I smiled at him, before I looked over at Zayn, who were gazing Harry with a killing look. Harry were doing the same. Now it started to feel a bit weird. The thought of two people working together who were on eachothers throats, didn't seem like the best idea.

I sat down on the kitchen chair, annoyed. "Listen. The two of you are going to work together whether you like it or not. Niall is all alone there, probably confused and scared. While here, the two of you are fighting like two babies over a toy, when really we are supposed to come up with an idea on how to save Niall. So get your shit together and start thinking! Alright??" My voice started to tense up as I was talking.

They both nodded quickly, shocked over my determined speach.

"Great. Now, I think I have an idea of how we're gonna do this. Harry, come over here. I need to know you're with me on this, too" I said, looking towards Harry, who nodded and came over to where me and Zayn were sitting.

I lay out a map over the GM area. Harry looked at it with a shocked and confused look on his face.

"Where the hell did you get that from?"

"Oh, I just kind of borrowed it from professor Fabio" I said, feeling the guilt inside of me building up, but also the excitement over doing something bad. I had never been the "bad-girl", so it was fun to just let my hair out and do something crazy.

He chuckled. "You are crazy. Do you have any idea what would happen to you if he found out?"

I looked at him with a serious expression on my face. "I always put friendship over my job, Harry."

He went quiet, as he waited for me to speak.

"So, I don't know where they keep their prisoners, but-"

"They keep them in the dungeon, right there" Harry cut me off, putting his finger on a red spot that said "D".

"Great, thanks Harry!" I smiled at him, him smiling back. I could see the annoyance in Zayns eyes in the corner of my eye.

"So, my plan. First of all we need some weapons. I'm sure you know where those are, so we got that covered. Then, we're gonna have to sneak in through the underground. Yes, I'm talking about the sewage."

Zayn cringed, as Harry rolled his eyes at him. I shook my head at both of them. Such teenagers.

"What did you expect, riding on a unicorn over the rainbow while eating cotton candy?" Harry snapped. I gave him a harsh look.

"Sod off, Harry" Zayn said back.

"Stop it!" I yelled.

"But what is he even doing here?? He doesn't even know Niall! And for all we know, he could be on their side" Zayn shouted.

"That's it, I'm out of here." Harry started walking out, but I got a grip on his arm.

"No, you are not! Zayn, we need him! He works at the Global Counseling, and has worked there for a long time, so he knows stuff. Like when he told us where the GMF kept their prisoners! That was important for us to know."

He sighed and looked away. I was still holding a strong grip on Harrys arm. I looked at him.

"Don't even think about leaving, you hear me?" He nodded and smiled half-heartedly at me.

This was pointless. Working with these two idiots was never going to work. I needed a gluestick. Someone to hold us together. Someone to motivate us against the GMF. But who? Who did I know that would risk his life for someone he didn't even know?

Liam.
