As I was standing on the edge of the port I felt someone walking towards me.
"I've been informed that you've been wandering around Bella, what for?" He asks me standing behind my arms crossed, knowing that I wouldn't come looking for him unless it was an emergency, and it was.
"You know I wouldn't come looking for you unless there's really an emergency." I simply tell him.
"They've got them and I need help finding a way to get them back" I tell him, now turning around to face him.
"They? You're going to have to be more specific with who "they" are if you want my help" He tells me with a confused expression in his hace waiting for me to tell him who "they" are.

Harry and Bella have known each other since 2010 and the tension is hard to ignore at this point.
Both were in the system since they were 8, but they crossed paths sophomore year in high school, along with Louis, Zayn, Niall, and Liam. And well them were trouble together but they cared for each other, that's for sure.
They all had something in common, none of them wanted anything to do with their parents.
Maybe they were afraid of what they might find out...or just didn't care at all, but will life concur with this forever?
Bella suspects that Harry is keeping a secret from her, but she hasn't dared mention it, maybe she doesn't want to find out or she just hopes that he will tell her eventually.
The fears left scattered from her childhood come back to haunt her and unravel in her darkest nightmares.
Afraid of falling asleep, knowing that her nightmares could present themselves at any time
They all have different personalities and ways of seeing life but the love they have for each other is infinite. They are willing to do anything to keep each other safe.
After attending a party in New York, they became closer than ever, and that... tells you a lot.
Because ever since New York, they found out where they truly came from.
The truth is...they're all in a Dark Paradise.
"I'm the one asking questions here, darling. You can ask questions when I say you can ask questions. Got it?" he spat, his tone laced with cold authority. My eyes dropped instinctively to my feet, the sudden rush of fear made me mute. I nodded quickly, not wanting to piss him off more. My heart pounded, reminding me how powerless I felt.

It has been 2 years since the the dead spread their shadow across the planet.
Danger lurks around every corner in a world overrun by the dead. Humanity clings to survival, confined to crumbling hideouts while supplies are dwindling. The streets run red with blood, and fear is pushing people to their breaking point - forcing them to commit unspeakable acts in the name of survival.
Maeve Logan is a 21 year old woman who is resourceful, resilient, and hardened by the horrors she's faced in this world. Maeve has learned to adapt quickly, scavenging for supplies and mastering the art of silence to avoid detection by both the dead and the living. But one slip up caused chaos.
Harry Styles is a 24 year old man with a relentless drive to protect the ones he loves, no matter the cost. His moral compass had eroded under the pressure of a world gone mad, leaving him to cross any line - whether it's killing threats without hesitation or taking hostages to secure resources for his group.
Sometimes the living are far more dangerous than the dead...
A broken world brought them together.
She had a shattered soul, and him, a hardened heart.
There was much more to face before they saw a future. Many scars, tears and losses to endure before they saw the light.
