Mia's POV:

On our way back to Russia, we talk more about Harry.

"Zayn...I need to tell you something." I admit, not wanting him to be mad at me.

"Alright." He agrees, giving me his full attention.

"Harry showed up yesterday morning."

"Oh."

"And he talked with me in the bathroom and then...then kissed me. I pushed him away and made him leave. I didn't want to tell you yesterday because I wanted it to be a worry-free day." I don't meet his stare as I admit this all to him.

He takes a deep breath, "Alright."

"Alright?"

"I am kind of disappointed you didn't tell me he came and talked to you, but it's fine. I'm more worried that he knew where we were. We weren't as sneaky as we thought. He always knew." He says, not mentioning how Harry kissed me.

"I know, and I'm sorry. I should've told you right as it happened. I just didn't want him to ruin our day." I shrug, finally meeting his gaze. "And we did have an amazing day. We saw amazing things, ate amazing food, and talked with some amazing people."

"We did, Mia. And it's okay."

We don't speak as we wait for the plane to land. I look out the window and admire the view. I check my phone and see it's late, but not too late.

About five minutes later, we grab our things, and head off the plane.

"Zayn-" I go to say, but go still when I see Harry standing in front of the two of us, knife in hand.

"You have no idea how long I have waited for this." He grins, looking between the two of us.

Without another second to waste, Harry lunges forward at Zayn with the knife high in the air, ready to spill blood. Zayn grabs a hold of Harry's arm and uses all his strength to keep Harry from hurting him, "Harry! Please stop! I don't want there to be any blood spill tonight. I'm begging you, just walk away."

Harry laughs humorlessly as he steps away, "This is my revenge. You don't know what it felt like to wake up and be completely alone in the dark with no idea where you are or what the fuck just happened. You have no idea! You fucking killed me, you killed me, and now I am going to kill you."

Once again, Harry lunges forward, but this time kicks Zayn in the knee, resulting in Zayn on his back. Harry then places his knee on Zayn's throat, placing the knife over his heart, getting ready to kill him, until I step in.

"Harry, please!" I beg, my eyes watering. "Stop this. This is not the Harry I know."

He turns to me, "The Harry you know is dead."

"You don't have to do this, just put the knife down. Revenge will not get you anywhere! I know you were scared and alone, but it doesn't have to end like this. You can walk away, right now."

"You don't understand!" He yells, grabbing a hold of his hair. "I made a deal, okay? I made a deal and I have to go through with it!"

"Harry..." I smile, stepping forward a little bit. "What deal?"

His shoulders drop, and tears spill out of his eyes as he stares at me. "The deal was to kill Zayn in return for my life back. That's all I have ever wanted."

"Harry, I can tell you, you will not get what you want. The Devil always cheats! He will keep you as you are forever even if you complete the task. He will never let you go free. You will be under his control forever. I promise you that. Why give him what he wants? Just walk away." I tell him, my eyes filled with worry.

He shakes his head, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Mia."

"No!" I scream loudly, watching as Zayn's eyes scrunch closed as Harry lifts the knife up before forcefully lowering it down.

My screams are not heard as bullets pierce through Harry, making his body shake before he falls to the ground. I run over to Zayn and get him up, "Are you okay?"

He nods, "Yeah. I'm all good. Damn, he has one hell of a knee." Zayn jokes, rubbing his throat.

I then look over at Harry's once again lifeless body on the ground.

"Is he dead?"

"No, not quite. His body is, but not his spirit. He's back down with the Devil." He tells me, stepping over his body.

"What will happen to him?" I ask, worried.

"He'll get punished for failing his task and get thrown aside."

I don't ask anymore. I don't want to know what will happen to him. I don't want to know his fate. All I need to know is he won't be coming back, ever.

We head over to the group of men with guns, and right in the middle is Thomas.

Zayn smiles, "How?"

"Boss sent us to pick you up and we came just in time to see you getting your assed kick." He laughs, patting Zayn on the back.

"He has a bony fucking knee, alright?"

"Excuses, excuses." Thomas smirks, and then turns to me. "Nice to see you again, Mia."

"Hi Thomas." I greet, pushing my hair back.

They lead us to a limo and close the door as everybody else gets ready to leave.

"It's finally over." Zayn smiles, hugging me.

I hug back, my eyes starting to water. "Yeah, it is."

"What will we do with your parents?"

"They can't do much...I'm eighteen." I shrug, rubbing my arms. "I'll make sure to message them soon and let them know I am okay. That'll be enough to stop their hunt."

"Will you ever go see them again?" He asks, grabbing for my hand.

"One day." I smile, looking down. "I just want to be with you for right now."

I pull out my phone and send Niall a message.

To: Niall Horan
From: Unknown

Everything is alright. It's finally over. Thank you for everything Niall, I could never repay you.

To: Unknown
From: Niall Horan

Just be happy.

I smile as Zayn looks over my shoulder, "Is that Niall?"

"Yeah."

He taps on the window and the driver opens it, "Yes?"

"Will you have my bank send two million to Niall Horan in Louisiana?"

"Will do, sir." He agrees, closing the window.

I smile, "I can't ask you to do that. I was the one who used the money."

"You don't have to ask. He helped both of us, I owe him." Zayn shrugs, smiling.

"What do we do now?" I ask, leaning my head on his shoulder.

"I don't know, Mia. All I know is that I want you."
