Chapter 27

Shaun's POV

What the fuck is so difficult for her?

She found all her little friends. But then she has the nerve to phone the police? That was a little bit sly of her. So I was going to make this game slyer.

I had watched the police and ambulance come into view and I gritted my teeth as I saw all of them being taken care of by the police and ambulance crew. I saw Louis. Liam. Harry. Zayn. Perrie. Lou. But no Kate.

I smiled as I thought for a second that she might have been that much of a coward to leave with them. I pushed off the window and continued down the corridor and listened to the rain that was still pounding off the roof. The basement will probably be well and truly flooded now.

I sighed and opened the door that I had left Niall in. He was sitting in the corner and he stood up when I came in.

"Change of plan, Niall, your friends have escaped, the police and ambulance are here," I said and his eyes widened. God bless his soul. He thinks he's going to get out of here alive.

"One surprising turn of events is that your girlfriend isn't out there, she's still here, looking for you," I said, a smile playing on the corner of my lips.

"And your going to lead her here," I said and then I raised my gun quickly, pulled the trigger and shot him in the arm and he screamed in pain, grabbing his arm. I walked out of the room, closing the door behind me and hid in another room until I saw Kate run into the room.

I walked down the stairs and I opened a small cupboard in kitchen. I pulled out a packet of firelighters and I stacked them up against the kitchen door, the kitchen windows, the front door and the windows in the room in the ground floor. I then took out a box of matches.

I lit matches, dropping them on the piles of firelighters I had left around the house. I dropped the last match on the pile of firelighters and I watched the orange flames, lick up the wood of the door and the glass started to crack with the heat. I smiled and I took my hiding place.

I would wait for them to come down the stairs. I would wait to see the fear in their faces as they realised they will not be able to get out. And I would wait to kill them and I would wait to see the life leave their eyes.

And I would enjoy it.

Kate's POV

I ran up the stairs, three at a time and opened the door, where I thought Niall's cry came from. I gasped when I saw him. He was clutching his arm where there was blood seeping through his closed fingers.

"Niall!" I exclaimed, running over to him, dropping to my knees. He coughed and he opened his eyes.

"Kate!" He said and he used his other arm to pull me in close to him.

"Niall, I..." I started but he stopped me.

"Shhhhh..." He said and I put my head into the crook of his neck, wrapping my arms around his shoulders.

"Did he shoot you?" I asked him and he nodded, gritting his teeth in pain.

"Let me see it," I said and he moved his hand so I looked at his wound. It was deep. Very deep.

"Should we take the bullet out?" He said and I shook my head.

"It's too dangerous, babe, it could have hit an artery." I said and I ripped a piece of my jumper off, wrapping it around his arm, tying it tightly. He hissed in pain, closing his eyes and gritting his teeth as it was tightly tied around his arm.

"I'm sorry, Niall," I said, a tear falling down my face.

"You think this is your fault?" He said, touching my face gently and I nodded, my forehead resting against his.
