Captured

Sam’s P.O.V

I retrieve my knife wiping the blood on Rick’s cloths. Turning around I see the guards all with different emotions on their faces. Their emotions running from joy to frustrated, to shocked. The sound of an explosion jerks us all back into our surroundings. It doesn’t take long before a fire can be seen from the other floors. I see a flash of black hair in the fire. I can hear Storm saying, “I told you that your world would burn. You will have nothing left. What will your pathetic group say when they find out you killed two people?” I know those words were not in my head seeing as how a few of the guards say something about it as they raced to the exits. I grab Drake and Rick swords, those two were the first people I have ever killed. Keeping with tradition that has been passed down in my family, I took the weapon of the first person I have slain. Thankfully Kate left me a bug out bag. I stash the swords in the bag and take off to where I heard the jeep engine earlier. I throw my gear into the back and tear down the road. Escaping the prison that was now burning down to the ground; the flames not taking any prisoners, only giving out death. No one seems to care that I take off in the jeep. they are busy trying to put the fire out. I don’t look back knowing that at any second the captors or Storm can be right behind me. I don’t stop driving till I get back to the hotel. I don’t know how I knew where to go but I find my way back to the hotel. I find the other jeep in the back parking lot, looking undamaged. That’s a good sign at least.

Darren is waiting for me at the back door, with a beer in hand and a blank look on his face. He hands me the beer and motions for me to follow him. I obey following him to Kate and Rachel’s room. Opening the door I find the best possible site, all five boys of one direction are back together, and so is my little group. Everyone has a beer in hand including Darren who drinks so rarely that it should be posted on every newspaper or make national news. I sit down on the far couch by myself drinking my first beer and taking in the scene before me. Harry and Louis were talking while cuddling up together on the floor. Zayne and Rachel were in their own little world. Kate and Liam were discussing what their relationship situation is. Niall was leaning against the window looking out at the horizon, like I did when we were held captive. Darren and Paul were talking about how to beef up security to protect the boys. A small smile came onto my face and then a laugh. Everyone turns to look at me with questioning looks.

“I was just thinking that this scene is so normal, that you wouldn’t have guessed that we just escaped being hostages. Everything right now is simply a perfect moment. Everyone is together, talking as if nothing has happened.” I speak to everyone and no one in particular. And with that everyone goes back to what they were doing, leaving me with my own thoughts as I turned on the tv.


We are all watching cartoons on FX when a news report cut in. On the screen the hotel/prison that we were at was in the background now just a pile of debris. I tune out the words and watch what is happening behind the reporter. The building looks so destroyed no one could have survived the inferno. If that is the case why did I have a feeling Storm was still out there in the world? The next image showed Drake, and Rick’s bodies. I tune the reporter in at the wrong moment the words he says causes the final scenes at the prison to flash before my eyes.

“Even though the two bodies have been burned the medical examiner did say they were dead before the fire started, with the two people having been murdered. There is evidence that a female was also present at the time of the fire and in the building. The remains of the female have yet to be found.”

Soon as I the report ends and the cartoons start to roll again, I stand up and leave the room. The only person who follows me is Darren. Most likely to talk about what’s going on.

“So do you want to tell me what happened or are you going to make me wait for a report from the others to get the story?” Darren asks once we enter my room.

“You want to know what happen? Here is what happened Kate and Rachel made it to our room, we got to the first floor before we noticed something wasn’t right. By that time it was to late we were spotted by Rick and Darren. We were pushed into a ring of other guards. I exchanged words with Rick and Darren. We dueled. They died while we were dueling. Next thing I know there is an explosion and fire. I got out. But not before I saw Storm head to the fire saying she was going to kill us, and torture us. I know this sounds crazy but I believe she is still out there. Make a request to have us stay with One Direction until she is brought down. I know she is still out there plotting to take the boys again.” I say out loud with more venom than I probably should have.

“Okay I will put in the request for that. For now get some sleep, but first I would talk to Niall.” And with that Darren leaves the room. Admitting he was right I head back over to the other room, finding it how I left it. Everyone was enjoying themselves not even caring that I left the room. Niall is a different story. He is still at the window looking like a bird that had its wings clipped. I walk over to him and place my arms around his waist like he did to me. He leans back into the embrace, when he does I place my head on his shoulder.

“Is this the end of it all? Is there someone else who is going to come after us? Was that the final mission you had to do?” Niall asks

“I have no clue.” I say kissing his cheek.

I think about those things myself. Did Storm really die in the fire or I’m just being paranoid? Is this really the end?
