(Swear warning!!)

                     <Corey's pov>

I tracked her to an abandoned warehouse. Kinda cliché but, whatever.

We got off our bikes about a block so we aren't noticed. I had my tracker in my hand, the other 2 behind me. We entered through the back way without setting off any alarms.

We were making our way down a dark corridor when we heard a scream, coming from down the hall.

We all book it towards where it came from, trying to be as quiet as possible.

We got to an old wooden door with a window on the top. Peeking inside, we see Annabelle, strapped to a table, with some dipshit running a knife along her forearm.

Feeling the anger boiling inside me, I take a look at the other 2 and I can see the same expression.

I put a finger up to my lips, signaling them to be quiet. Since Dr. Frankensteins back is turned to us, we quietly open the door. To our surprise, there's no squeaking.

"I'll ask you one more time, where do you come from?!" Frankenstein asks.

A tried Annabelle looks up, Sophie gasps at the sight of her, clothes worn and almost shredded, bags under her eyes and gashes all up and down her arms and thighs. And she was deathly thin.

"I'll never tell." She croaks, like she's been screaming for hours on end.

Right as he  goes to cut again, Angel jumps from her hiding place and hits him in the back of the head with the butt of her gun, knocking him unconscious.

"Hey guys, you sure are a sight for sore eyes." She smiles weakly.

"Annabelle..." I trail off.

"Hurry up and get me out of here, I'm starving." She commands and Sophie gets to work on her restraints. I only chuckle.

"You are something else." Angel whispers. 

I hold my arms out and catch Annabelle  before switching her around so she's on my back.  We quickly and quietly get to our bikes and I help Annabelle on Angels.

She wraps her arms around her waist and puts her head on her back, closing her eyes.

•﹏•

Once we got home, Annabelle was asleep. So, I hung my helmet on the handle bars of my bike and went to pick her up.

I gently pick her up and carried her bridle style in the house. Sophie opened the door and we stepped in. Daniel greeted us and said his goodbye, wishing Annabelle a speedy recovery, also saying he was called in the office.

The boys sprung up from the couch to get a look at us.

Ashton gasped and asked "is she..." He trailed off. I shook my head and he sighed in relief. He rushed forward and took her from me and headed upstairs to her room to set her down.

"I'm glad you girls are ok, Ashton seriously wouldn't stop moving. He was pacing the whole time." Said Calum. "How is she?" Asked Michael.

I sighed and looked towards to stairs. "She'll live."

"I'm going to go clean her up." Said Sophie.

Everyone nodded, not knowing what to say.

                     <Ashton pov>

" you have no idea how bad you scared me. Even though we haven't known each other that long, I have fallen in love with you. I didn't mean to, but I did. And when you went missing I... It scared the shit out of me. I thought you wouldn't came back." I cried. Yes, cried. Hush up.

I sighed heavily and gently kisses her forehead saying "get better soon." I then sat back in the chair the was beside her bed, when there was a knock at the door.

Sophie came in with some bandages and disinfectant. Silently  patching her up.

When she finished, she turned around and gave me a sad smile before saying "she'll get better soon." And patting my shoulder, walking out the door.

I sighed again and whispered:

"I hope so. Cause I'm never letting you out of my sight again."
