Chapter 4

That night...

We sat in our band room, waiting. To be exact, I was sitting on my bed, wrapped in Tom's arms, waiting to finally get out of this place. The bells chimed, that meant that we had ten minutes to get out as the guards were changing their shifts.

We snuck out and hurried off to the cabin, successfully unseen by any guards. Tom took my hand and pulled me back to the master bedroom. I laid down on the bed and he joined me, looking up at the ceiling.

"I'm glad we got away from all of that. I kind of feel free now. It's actually quite nice. Now that we're out, we can be together," Tom proclaimed, pulling me closer to him.

"I absolutely love you," I told him, snuggling into his side.

"So, this is what freedom feels like?" he pondered. "I've never been anywhere without guards, my parents, or people following me."

"That's terrible," I told him. "I've always been alone. It's great to actually have some company."

We heard the front door get knocked on twice, then opened and slammed shut.

"Speaking of company," Tom grumbled.

"Hey guys! We're here!" Lilith cheered.

"Okay, so now we wait for Hailey, Dougie, Miranda, and Danny," I shouted from back the hall.

"Where are you guys?" Harry asked as he came down the hall, seeing us cuddling together in the room. "Oh, sorry. I ruined your moment, didn't I?" he asked.

"Yeah, a bit. Thanks Harry," Tom joked, looking down at me, now in a light slumber, my head rested against his chest. "Isn't she amazing?" Tom asked Harry.

"She's great, just right for you. Lilith, she's perfect too. I love that she's crazy and fun and outgoing," Harry said.

"And annoying," Tom added in a mumble.

"Well, you don't think the cutesy stuff you do is annoying too?" Harry said, getting a bit defensive.

Their little awkward moment was interrupted by two more people entering the cabin.

"Hey guys," Danny spoke quietly when he entered. Miranda was asleep in his arms

"So that's what took you so long," Tom said jokingly.

"Yeah. Our girls, they like their sleep," Harry said, significantly lowering his voice from before. "Lilith collapsed on the bed as soon as we arrived here."

"So, um, did you guys see Dougie or Hailey. They should've gotten here by now," Tom stated worriedly.

A half an hour later, and the pair still hadn't made their appearance.

"Where are they? Where in the hell are they?" Harry asked himself, pacing back and forth through the hall.

"Harry, calm down. They'll be here soon," I assured him, grabbing his hand and making him sit down on the couch.

"I hope so," he grumbled at me.

"You-You don't think they got caught?" Lilith asked after being abnormally quiet for a while.

"Well, I think we need to look for them," Tom stated.

"Mate, we can't take our girls out there if there's something or someone out there lurking and waiting for us," Danny told Tom, looking at Miranda.

"That's so sexist!" she yelled at him, playfully punching him. "We'll be fine!"

"Uh, are you sure? I mean, the woods are pretty scary," Harry joked, getting everybody to start laughing.

"Alright. Well, I didn't want to share this before, but follow me," Tom said, leading us to the basement.

He did a strange knock on one of the walls and it came open suddenly, revealing a room full of weapons.

"Grab a few and let's go," he sighed, upset that he might actually have to hurt someone or something.

"This is a sweet stock! Is it for the apocalypse or something?" Miranda asked.

"It's here in case there's assassins after the kingdom," Tom answered her, searching the walls. He turned around to look at all of us girls and asked, "Have any of you fired a gun before?"

"Tom, I grew up on my own in the forest. Of course I know how to shoot a gun," I pointed out, resting one of my hands on my hip sassily.

"That makes me a bit intimidated by you now, dearest. But fine, here," Tom stated, chucking a pistol at me. I cocked it and Harry raised an eyebrow in surprise at me.

"Um... Harry? I've never really used a firearm before," Lilith announced.

"Me neither. What do we get?" Miranda asked.

Tom pressed a button on the wall behind one of the guns. A floor panel raised up, revealing a stock or knives and other blades.

"Ooh! That sword looks pretty!" Miranda yelled, running over and picking up a large and dangerous sword.

"Um... Okay," Lilith said, unsure of what she was doing. She walked over to the platform and picked up a small knife gripped it tight in her hand. "I guess I'm ready."

Harry turned around and saw her with the small weapon, making him laugh hysterically. He walked over to her and took it from her, trading it with a much larger sword that would do better. "This may do better than that pig-sticker," he smirked, kissing her cheek.

"Oh, um, thanks," she replied, blushing.

"Maybe you can just talk to them until the die," Miranda scoffed at Lilith.

"Hey Mir, you know you love me!" Lilith grinned at her.

"Okay guys, let's go," Tom announced, holding a scary looking weapon in his hand.

"What is that?" I asked him, intrigued by it.

"It's a tornado launcher. I'm told it's the deadliest thing out there. The only thing is that nobody actually knows that it exists. I don't plan on using it... at all... but just in case," Tom stated, a look of pure seriousness plastered upon his facial features.

Well, I forgot just how terrible this story really is... It does get better later... I promise guys... :D Have faith in this story. It may not make complete (or any...) sense, but it never will.
