Chapter five
-liam’s pov-

It felt like slow motion, like if a bad nightmare is stretching and getting worse. I watched as Diana fell backward, her head hit the stone one the ground, Hard, and her beautiful eyes rolled to the back of her head closing. She laid there unconscious, lifeless.


“Diana!”


Harry screamed at the top of his lungs, his voice full of fear and agony. He rushed toward her falling on his knees beside her and pulled her upper body to him, hugging her small figure to his chest. He held her tight and sobbed hysterically.


“D-Diana! Diana! Diana wake up! Look at me. This ain’t a funny joke at all. Diana please! Diana! You promised. You promised you’d never let me down! You promised you’d never let go of me! Now why are you leaving me alone? You’re messing with me, huh? It’s just a joke, right? Open your eyes, it’s not funny at all. Diana! Please, baby don’t let me down. You saved my life ,you saved my heart! Please, please! Dianaaaa! “


Harry was shaking her talking to her numb figure, my heart clenched at the sight before me. Harry was pressing Diana’s fragile body to his chest, his tears falling on her long chestnut waves that were sprawled everywhere, on Harry, on the ground, on her own small shoulders, floating down.


I felt something pull my hand and looked down surprised , I almost forgot I was holding the horse’s rein. He pulled his head away again, trying to get his rein out of my grip and run to Diana. I tightened my hold on the rein but rushed toward them with the horse hot on my heel.
I stopped a couple of steps from them, not knowing how to deal with Harry in this situation.
“He is falling apart, we should do something.”


Louis came beside me holding on to Niall’s shoulder for support.
“but whatcan we do? We also need to get somewhere safe. Zany and Simon are badly injuried , and Diana, she might have had a deep head concussion the way herhead hit the stone. Besides, I guess there’s a storm coming, we should get away from here, and fast.”

“but how? Where should we go? We are seven and only one horse, not to mention none of us knows how to climb up this giant creature let alone ride it and we are stuck in the middle of nowhere. “


“Do you have your cell phone? Mine was left in the jet.”

“Yeah! Here . Why didn’t I think of it? “

Louis said excitedly and pulled out his phone.

“ Damn it. It’s buttery is died down. Niall, do you have yours?”


“ Nah, mine was on the seat beside me in the jet.” Niall said in a slow tone.
, looking down.

Harry was still crying and hugging Diana, I couldn’t stand watching him that way anymore. It hurt me inside, I’m his older brother, I feel responsible to take care of him. That’s usually what Louis does to Harry, but he is not in a good condition so I will take control this time. Ehem, Daddy
direction speaking.


I walked toward him and bent down hugging him from one side. He placed his head on my shoulder and cried harder.


“I-It was my fault Liam. If I hadn’t stumbled back, she didn’t have to pull me so hard that I hit her and she fell back. I’m such a lame freak. She saved my life and I hurt her. An-and she isn’t waking up! Diana…! “


Harry was being so hysteric, I guess it’s the effect of the accident and staying in such a terrifying situation for so long.


I hugged him tighter with Diana still in his arms. Her head was bowed backward, her lips slightly parted. She seemed so fragile in this situation.


“It’s gonna be okay Hazza. Calm down. She’ll be okay, she’s too tough and strong to be over with such small things. She’ll be fine. Now, let me see her head.” I told him soothingly.
Diana’s situation was nothing close to ‘small thing’ but I had to say so Harry wouldn’t go insane.

I pulled back from the hug to have a good look on Diana. I turned her head and observed the back of her head carefully to see if there was any open injury. Nope, no blood. Thanks heavens.
I pressed my fingertips to her head with small pressure, moving them around the back of her skull looking for damaged area. I found a bump, a big one in the back, right a couple of inches above the nape of her neck. This is a very sensitive area if I remember correctly, god help us.


Suddenly a loud voice grumbled, making us jolt up and I instantly looked up. Oh fuck, there were black clouds covering the sky and soon followed, wild winds started blowing over us howling, disheveling Diana’s long hair around and tousselling Harry’s curls, making all the grass and herbs around us bow their heads to the ground. Perfect, a storm was all we needed.


Another thunder growled, followed by a horrendous lightning and large sloppy rain drops.
Diana’s horse was neighing , frightened, standing on his back feet and his eyes wide open with fear. I guess he is going to run away back to his home, typical frightened horse reaction. But despite my expectation, he surprised me by coming and pushing his head between me and Harry to reach Diana.


He made small whimpering voices like complaining to her, but after a while he nudged Harry closer to himself. It was really unlikely, nothing like what I’ve ever seen before, he was hovering his giant body above Diana and Harry, protecting them from the huge rain drops hitting us like bullets.


The strength of drops were so much it stung when it hit our body. Harry on the other hand was acting strange too, he was never good with big animals such as horses, but now he hugged Diana tight to cover her and pressed both their bodies to Diana’s horse, hugging one of his massive legs. Very unlike harry.


The horse bent his neck down to protect him and caress Diana’s face with his nose. Diana’s hair was sprawled on the ground soaking wet from all the water running on the hard ground toward the cliff to pour down.


I run toward Zayn who was laid on the ground, trying to stand up and wrapped his arm around my neck pulling him on my back as he was panting in pain. I walked toward Harry and Diana and placed beside Diana laying him down ever so gently while Niall and Louis helped Simon where we were.


We all gathered together in a circle, Diana and Zayn laying in the middle and tried to shield them from the whipping rain drops, though Diana was mostly scrunched into Harry. I have no idea where this care comes from, Harry was never this caring about a girl. He was caring and respectful, but not this much.


“What should we do? No one has their cell phone, no tree or fucking shield here to block this fucking rain and we’re stuck in the middle of nowhere. What should we do?” Simon said in desperation. Typical Simon.


“Hey! I bet she has a cell phone. Check if it is in her pocket or somewhere, we can use it!” Louis said excitedly.


“Yeah! He’s right.” Said Niall.


“ Harry, check her pocket mate.” I told him and he nodded and tapped her jeans pockets and pulled out a black I phone.


“Here.”


He said in a barely noticeable voice handing me the device and going back to wreathing his arms around her.


I unlocked the cell phone and tapped emergency call, dialing 911 and pressed the call bottom putting it to my ear but there was no beeping voice of signal. I bring the phone down to see if it was dialing and then I realized it. Damn it.


“ damn. There are no bars here in this storm.”


I told and everyone groaned loosing their last hope.


I stood up and walked to Diana’s horse, I stood beside him and raised the leather saddle cloth and looked inside the saddle bag. Damn this dude is tall, I wonder how does Diana climb him with those small legs of hers. She’s a girl who lives in this wild area, she sure has some essentials for these situations with her.


I find a large flashlight, more like an inspection lamp and a small woolen blanket also some rain coat, folded neatly to fit in the cramped space. This is fairly big for her f I might add most likely oversized. There is a lighter and some big plastic bags, probably something to gather fruit or harvest but now it seems perfect to cover us from soaking more and turning to mer-people from being left in water for so long.


I come back to guys and bend down beside Diana pulling out the pocket knife I saw her use feeling somehow guilty, like abusive people who take advantage of others’ unconsciousness. If she wasn’t in this situation, I wouldn’t feel like a cheap thieve using her things.


I push my guilt aside for now, I need this to save all of us. I rip the corners of plastic bags and cover Zayn with one and cover Niall with another. I cut another cover and shield Louis and Simon with them. Removing the plastic on Zayn, I pull him more toward Diana, covering them both with thw woolen blanket and cover it with nylon again.


Zany moans and I place a hand on his forehead. Yup, he definitlt got fever, he lost so much blood and his body is weak.


“ It’ll be okay mate, I promise. Just bear a little more.”


I tell him and walk toward Harry, covering him with the rain coat. He pulls some of it on Diana’s soaking head and hugs her tighter if it was possible.


Lastly I pull a plastic over my own head and crouch beside Louis, placing Zayn’s head on my lap.


“I found a lighter but we can’t light any fire in this weather, but we can try and use this flashlight to signal for help. I’ll try in eight directions so if the town is in any direction there might be someone that notices and comes to help.”


The boys nod in agreement numbly. This whole situation got a lot of energy from them. I stand up and look around, the cliff we were near was an ocean view so there’s no use to signal that way. I turn toward the hill Diana’s was standing on before she pulled him here. This most be the way she came and the way to the town.


I turn the flashlight on and signal SOS three times then turn on my heels to the right and repeat it. No answer. I sigh and return to guys and sit. Zayn is moaning nonstop now and Louis is tryin to comfort him. Niall is holding Simon that is almost falling on the ground if he wasn’t held by Niall. I sit beside Louis and bend down and try to shield Zayn and Diana with my body. Obviously a masculine body is no use in this storm, I feel so useless.


“We are gonna die here.”


Niall says and his head hangs low. He is loosing hopes and there is no way I’m letting this happen.


“We are not gonna die. If we were we would’ve died in the jet. It’s only a rain and it’s going to stop sooner or later. Nobody died from one night under the rain.”


Louis fought back trying to keep hopes up. I shot him a thankful look, he is getting back in charge though to his weak state and I appreciate that.


“ He’s right , if we survived a jet crash, we’ll make it out of a storm.”
I defend him though I could feel my own hopes subside.


If there were any people around, they would be stuck in their house, not outside. So the possibility of someone getting my message was near zero.


Wind was blowing under the nylon covers we had on and the rein was hitting us like small pebbles, it stung at first but my back got numb from pain and clod after a while.


I turned the flashlight on and turned it toward the hill again, signaling SOS once more. After a few minutes I turned it off and went back to my previous position beside Lou. Nope. There was definitely nobody coming to save us. We have to wait until the storm ends.

If we don’t die.

A small voice inside me said and I was afraid it was true.

Suddenly, Diana’s horse moved and began to neigh loudly, tapping the ground with his massive hoof , splashing water on us. He neighed louder and moved a few steps toward the hill, then returned and neighed.


“What’s wrong with him? Is there anything there?”


Louis asked with fear. I turned on the flashlight in my hand and turned it toward the hills looking for something suspicious. Nothing, not a moving body around.


Diana’s horse neighed louder and then, in the itch darkness I saw a pair of yellow glowing lights, shining in the light of my lamp. A cold shiver ran down my spine.


“ Oh no, wolves.”


I muttered watching the yellowish lights getting closer and closer panic spreading down my body like freezing cold water. Perfect, just the icing on the cake.


“What? Wolves? What should we do?”


Niall shrieked jumping to his feet. I stood up as well, getting ready to wrestle with empty hands with the hounds to save my friends, still looking around to find a weapon to defend myself.
Not even a little piece of wood is around. My eyes land on the stone Diana hit her head and pick it up. Not what I wanted but it’ll have to do. I hand the lamp to Niall and said:


“try to blind it with this while I try to defend. Louis, protect Zayn and try to pull him away. Harry! Carry Diana away and keep her safe. Simon, stay with lou.”


The glowing eyes get closer with unbelievable speed. Fifty meters away I could tell. I clunch the stone in my hand.




Thirty meters, I put a guard with my arms in front of my chest.



I tighten my grip around the stone getting ready to jump, only twenty meters, almost fifteen…
Getting closer I heard its feet galloping closer.


only five meters.


I look at the lights getting closer and then a ray of light from one of those eyes blind me. I hear a muffling voice and then…
