CLAIRE'S POV

"You can't be serious? I laughed as Lyn told me about her attempting to cook earlier.

She shrugged, "I can't cook I tell you. The egg literally exploded."

I shook my head still laughing and enjoying this moment we were having. Ed was off doing his own thing, Liam and Louis are still out on runs. So here Lyn and I are, just sitting outside on the grass talking, like normal people.

It was actually weird, I didn't have to look over my shoulder constantly. This place was just grass and a dirt road for miles, it's quiet too so I would hear any vehicle or footsteps of someone was near.

"It's getting late, I wonder where they are." Lyn said once we both calmed down.

I nodded, the boys were usually here around sunset but the sun was almost finished setting. The sky was a dark blue now, I was actually kind of wondering why they were held up.

"Maybe they found a nice store or something." I suggested.

"Maybe, but they promised that they would never be back after dark." Lyn's voice sounded a bit worried.

I prevented myself from rolling my eyes, "It's nothing to worry about. They're probably just enjoying the fact that no one has any idea where we are."

"I mean I guess." Lyn looked down and picked at a few pieces of grass before looking up. "Do you hear that?"

We both looked up and saw a single light up ahead. We both stood up, Lyn called Ed just in case it wasn't them. He came out and all three of us stood there waiting to see what the light was.

At it approached, I saw it was the same car Liam and Louis took earlier. The only thing was, only one headlight was working, why? Because the other had been shot at.

"Are there, bullet holes?" Ed asked while squinting his eyes to look closer.

As Liam parked and killed the engine, it was confirmed. There were bullet holes all over the car, they were attacked, that's why they were late.

I ran over to the car because I only saw Liam get out. He immediately ran to the back seat and called Ed over for help. Lyn pulled me away from the car and held me as we waited to see where Louis was.

Liam opened the backseat of the car, but he stepped in front of my view before I could see anything. Ed and Liam both were in the backseat, until they pulled out Louis. An unconscious Louis to be exact.

His gray shirt was no longer gray, it was dark red and dripping with blood. I covered my mouth as Liam and Ed gently set down Louis on the grass.

I pushed Lyn away and ran over to Louis, but was blocked by Ed. "Claire, please not now."

I shook my head, "No no. What happened?" My voice was cracking, the tears were forming and the fear was growing.

Liam pursed his lips, "Harry." Was all he said before picking up Louis, "Help me get him inside. Lyn, keep her out here."

Lyn nodded and gently grabbed my arm, "Claire, let's go on a walk. Come on."

"How do you expect me to leave right now! Louis is bleeding out and you expect me to go on a walk?" I scoffed, "No way."

"Please. If you want him to get fixed then you need to give Ed and Liam space. You need to calm down so let's go." She gently tugged on my sleeve, trying not to be too pushy.

I nodded, only because someone closed the hatch and locked it so it's not like I could have gone inside anyway. I wrapped my arms around myself as the harsh wind blew.

Lyn and I walked not too far away, before I finally gave up holding in tears an I collapsed on the floor. The thing that made it worse, I fell right into a mud puddle and scrapped my knee on a rock.

"Oh, Claire." Lyn kneeled next to me, ignoring the mud and rubbed my back. "It's going to be alright."

"You can't promise that. He's lost so much blood already, Ed and Liam moved him too much so more could have bled out. Hell, he could be dead right now!" I cried.

Lyn shook her head, "No. Claire, Ed is a great doctor and he is going to fix Louis and make sure you are okay. Now there's water in the car trunk, let's clean off that scrap before it gets infected."

She helped me up out of the mud and got me to walk. My legs were shaky because of the amount of anxiety I was feeling at the moment, but I managed to make it to the car.

"Here." Lyn had me sit down as she walked to the car and grabbed a water bottle.

She handed it to me and I uncapped the bottle. I rinsed off the mud from my knee, and almost laughed at how muddy I was now.

"Hey," Lyn said, "He's a fighter he isn't going to give up that easily."

"Does he have a choice though?"

"Don't speak with that attitude, or maybe something will happen." She was right I guess.

I bit my bottom lip, "I just don't want any false hope. I don't want to think he'll be okay if he's-he's.." I couldn't even finish my sentence before burying my face into my arms and crying even more.

Lyn didn't speak for a good five minutes while I ran out of tears to cry. I was thankful that she wasn't trying to give advice that I wouldn't even consider, I just need quiet at the moment.

"I'm going to get a blanket." She quietly said and walked to the car.

I nodded and attempted to wipe the mud off my face and hands. A few seconds after Lyn stood up, I heard a groan and a thud. I stood up and saw Lyn's leg lying on the floor.

"Lyn?" I cautiously asked.

"She's fine." I heard that venomous voice speak.

I clenched my jaw and turned around, "Harry."

He smirked, "The one and only. It's been too long, Claire."

"Are you the one who shot Liam and Louis?" I asked while walking over to Lyn.

He shrugged, "Maybe, why do you care? I thought you hated him."

I sarcastically laughed, "My how things have changed, Harry. I don't hate him. Actually it's opposite, I love him."

Harry glared harshly at me, but his glare was turned around. "Perfect."

"What is that supposed to mean?" I looked at Lyn who was lying on the floor with a small amount of blood running down her forehead. He fucking hit her.

I heard his footsteps behind me, "Well if you love him, I'm guessing he loves you or something like that."

"Yeah, maybe."

"Well you know that Louis and I don't like eachother. And I like you, so I apologize for this but I'm going to have to take you." He smirked again.

"Wha-" I was cut off by another pair of arms grabbing me from behind me from behind and covering my mouth.

I tried to fight, use the moves that Louis taught me but I began to feel dizzy. The hand over my mouth had something on it, my legs gave out and I fell right into the stranger's arms.

I saw Harry standing over me, "I'm not going to let you black out, but I need to make sure you're weak."

The person also layed me down on the floor, "Now, where is Louis? Your savior?"

"You, you shot him you bastard." I snapped, even though my voice was weak.

"Even better," He laughed, "I'm sorry about Lyn, but I couldn't have her screaming for help."

Of course, why am I not screaming. The second I opened my mouth, Harry kneeled next to me and put his finger to my lips, "Speak and I shoot Lyn. Understand?" I weakly nodded. "Good, let's go."

That's all I heard before everything went black.

LYN'S POV

I woke up with the worst migraine, but the second I realized where I was and what had just happened, I ignored the migraine and stood up.

I looked around and saw no sign of Claire, or of Harry. The bastard knocked me out before I could react. I ran over to the hatch ad desperately knocked.

A frustrated Liam answered, "Lyn-"

"Harry took Claire!" I desperately yelled, "We need to go, now."

"What, wait, what?" Liam looked at Ed.

Ed nodded, "It's okay, I can take care of everything. Go get her."

Liam grabbed his gun and ammo and climbed up the ladder. He grabbed my hand and we both got into the car without bullet holes, and began driving.

"How long have you been out for?" Liam asked.

"How long have you been working on Louis?"

"Three hours."

"Then I was out for three hours."
