purple bruises

We all stood watching this boy smiling up at me. I was trying to wrap my head round what he just told us. How would he know I had a near death experience? And how would he know where to find me? How does he know who I am?
"I can tell you're all confused but I also know that you'll understand. We will have a lot of fun together" He pushed past us walking into the house.
"What the hell?" Perrie exclaimed
The boy turned to answer her but stopped seeing Harry stare at him.
"Who are you?" He asks him, alarm in his eyes.
"Who am I? Who are you? How do you know about Lizzie?" Harry took a step closer to the boy clenching his fists.
"Harry, Harry!" I hurry to his side and hold one of them in my hand. I had a flash of the boy's thought. I don't know who he is yet, but I know he is here to help, not harm us.
"What is your name?" I ask him putting myself in front of Harry. Luke, Ed and Perrie were standing behind us. I can read their confusion and Luke's fear.
"Louis" He said but he was still looking at Harry.
'He never showed in my visions' I hear him think.
"What visions?" I ask him. Finally his eyes leave Harry's face and he looks at me.
He doesn't answer out loud but shows me. I can see what he meant. I gasp out and smile at him "This is amazing" I say looking up at Harry.
"I'm confused" Ed finally said
"Louis can see the future" I say simply
"What do you mean see the future?" A crease appears between Harry's eyes.
"Well I can sort of see into the future but it keeps changing as people change their minds" Louis shrugged.
"In that case, how is it you thought Liz was dead?" Perrie questioned him, not quite fast to trust him.
"I'm not sure why that is" He frowned "Who are you? I haven't seen you in my visions" Louis looked back at Harry.
"Harry blocks you out too then" Ed says from where he was in back of us.
"How did you know I was here?" I asked Louis, wanting to get my questions answered before the others ask some of their own.
Once again I see his vision of us arriving at the house. I can see the number on the wall and then it goes black.
"Every time Harry is near it goes black" I say to him.
"I suppose you're right" Louis said "So Harry, you block everyone including me, can you block Luke as well? Or can he teleport you from one place to another?" Louis walked into the living room and sat down on the coach, making himself feel at home.
"How do you know I can t-"
"Teleport?" Louis finished Luke's question for him "I know about all of you, and your gifts, all of you but Harry, seeing you mate was a surprise" He nodded to Harry. We all joined him sitting down on the sofa.
"If you can see the future how is it you didn't come sooner?" Harry asked
"Well it took me time to see her" He pointed at me.
"The first time I saw a vision with Lizzie in it, it was when Ed here saved her from the Company X man in Manchester" Louis looked at us before continuing "But then I decided first to see what I can find of the company"
"That was long time ago.. so why just now?" Perrie questioned him
"It did take time love, I'm not as resourceful as Liam, and once I did find out about Doctor Cowell and his experiments on us as babies, I didn't want to take part of this" Louis put his hands behind his head resting his head on them.
"So why are you here now?" Ed asked
"I do keep tabs since our futures almost crossed paths a few times only to be changed again by one of you, or get blocked now I know by Harry- I always thought that was a glitch with my gift" He added by the way, which made Harry smile one of his cheeky smiles at me. I roll my eyes, but the smile was noted by Louis and the others "What was that I just missed?" He asked
"Lizzie here calls her gift a mind glitch, while you see your gift as part of you and only when it doesn't work right call it a glitch" Harry put his arm over my shoulders pulling me closer to him.
"You'll learn to accept them as part of you soon enough" Louis smiled at me.
"Are you saying that as something you know for sure since you've seen happen or just trying to make her feel better?" Luke asked from where he was sitting between Ed and Perrie.
"Aren’t you wondering if you can teleport Harry or also get blocked by him like the rest of us?" Louis changed the subject.
"I would like to know that" I tapped Harry's thigh looking at Luke "Let's try that out"
For a moment they both stare at each other. It quite amazes me how they all look up to Harry for answers making him a sort of a leader even though he and we are the same.
"Alright" Harry gets up "See if you can teleport with me to the next room" Harry put out his hand for Luke to take in his. Even though Luke is the same age as me he for some reason looks younger, I can tell they all see him as I do by the way we all are protective of him.
Luke takes Harry's hand in his and looks around at us.
"Ready?" Harry asked as if he is the one teleporting. Just then they both disappear.
"Blimey how is that possible?" Ed said looking in back of him as if they will appear there.
We hear their footsteps pacing back to the living room.
"That was just weird" Perrie watched them "How is it you block out Lizzie, Eleanor, Niall and Louis, but Luke not?"
"Is it possible anything that has to do with the mind he blocks and physical things he doesn't?" I ask
"Might be.. That is the only rational explanation I can think of" Louis said
"You never said what changed your mind about coming" Harry reminded him.
"That is correct! I came because you've decided. You decided to save our kind from Company X. You started collecting us from all around. That is why I decided to join- With my gift I can help"
"Good, I'm happy you're here" I smile at him.
"Well, this is a lot for one day, I'm going to bed" Perrie got up.
"Where are we all going to sleep?" Ed asked Harry.
"Well, there are two bedrooms with double beds and the coach" Harry said counting on his fingers.
"I can take the coach" Luke raised his hand
"I'll sleep with Perrie" I volunteered
"I hope you don't snore" She warned me
"She's a quiet sleeper" Harry assured her getting looks from the other people around us.
"You two take the other room" Harry ordered them.
"What about you?" Ed asked
"I'll be fine" Harry answered him
"Fine then, come on Liz let's call it a night" she pulled me after her into the room.
We both got in under the covers. I was about to ask Perrie when and how she realized she was different, when Harry walked in.
"Move over" he said, holding up the duvet on my side of the bed.
"Harry?" Perrie sits up in question
"I'm not letting you two sleep alone with two new people we barely know in the house" He said "Come on Lizzie, make me room"
I move myself closer to Perrie, feeling the mattress give in to Harry's weight.
"Fantastic- no funny business you two while I'm here" Perrie warns before she turns her back to us.
"Do you trust this new bloke?" Harry whispers to me
"Louis? I do.. I read his mind, I saw a few of his visions, he's telling the truth" I am facing Harry, watching those green eyes of his, those plump lips that I kissed right before, the purple mark that decorates his face, on the right cheek up to his eye. I reach out to trace it with my finger. Harry closes his eyes for a moment enjoying the feel of my touch.
"We match." He smiles at me, touching the side of my face. My face is far more beaten up then his, I have a purple bruise to match his, but also have cuts on my cheeks and forehead. The only thing that seems to be undamaged is my nose and lips. Harry notices that, tracing his finger around my lips, I pull back from him afraid of Perrie, not wanting her to get upset for putting her in an awkward situation. Harry raised an eye brow at that.
"Come on Harry.. It was a long day, let's get some sleep" I smile and close my eyes. I feel Harry's touch again. "I'm just making sure the pain of your injuries won't come back during the night" He whispered and took his hand away.
I reach out to entwine my fingers in his, so I'll know that he is here next to me, keeping me safe from the suited men that might haunt me now in my sleep.
I have been on my own for quite a time before coming back home, however never in my life I had taken such a beating, even that time the Company X man got hold of me in Manchester, He didn't leave a bruise on my skin.
I felt His body heat next to mine even though we didn't touch with the exception of our linked fingers. I let sleep come trusting he will be by my side if something happens during my unconscious hours.

In the morning Harry and Ed went out to fetch some breakfast, leaving the rest of us to tidy up the flat before our departure.
I was helping Perrie fold the bedlinen where we slept while Luke and Louis took care of the other room.
"So.. are you going to ask me?" Perrie glanced at me while picking up the duvet and giving it a shake.
"Ask you what?" I picked up the other side to help her lift it up.
"I had this feeling as if you were going to ask me something last night, but then Harry came in and you changed your mind" We spread the duvet on the bed.
"I didn't know you had a sixth sense like El" I winked at her
"And I didn't know you are on nickname terms with us now" She blew me a kiss.
"You're feisty" I smile, liking this girl more and more every moment I spend with her "I was just wondering when you found out you're different, since you were always queen B at school"
"I knew from about the age of 7. I could climb up and do flips and get past things with perfect balance, better than anyone else, even better than girls who were older than me, with much more experience."
"But you didn't hide it like we did" I said sitting down on the bed.
"Well only partially. I knew I can never go be a professional athlete since at some point someone will notice I was different, so I played it down at school, I made sure I'm the best but not good enough to get unwanted attention"
"How did you find Harry and the boys?"
"Harry found me. He saw me full from the roof and land on my feet like a cat. He then went straight to Liam told him to look me up, and the rest was history".
"Did you believe them?" I got up from the bed putting my shoes on getting ready to leave.
"I'm here aren't I?" She spread her hands to the sides "I didn't at first, I thought they were all crazy just like you did, but deep down inside I knew they were right, that they were just like me, and how else would I explain that warm fuzzy feeling Niall was responsible for?"
We went into the living room finding Louis and Luke waiting on the coach.
"All done boys?" Perrie asked sitting next to them
"Yes, I wonder if they got the coffee and muffins or if Harry made Ed change it" Louis said with a half smile "It's quite weird only being able to see half a picture"
"Welcome to our world love" Perrie smiled back at him.
"They got the coffee and muffins" I say turning to open the door for them.
"How do you know that?" Luke watched me go
"They are here, I can read Ed", I let them in taking the bags of food out of Harry's hands.
"Coffee people" Ed grins sitting down by Louis.
"It's weird you all our big coffee drinkers" Luke was watching us dive for the Styrofoam cups.
"Harry drinks tea" Perrie said before taking a sip from her coffee "We need the caffeine rush to get us through the day".
"He doesn't get those headaches we get when we are at withdraw" Ed adds holding a chocolat muffin in his hand.
Harry was just sitting smiling to himself sipping at his tea letting the others make jokes.
Then his eyes find mine, knowing I was staring at him from across. He taps the seat next to him, telling me with his movement he wants me to sit myself next to him, but I wouldn't move, a smile twitching at the sides of my mouth. I watch his eyes turn a brighter shade of green, than he gets up and moves himself next to me.
"You'll ride back with me" He said into my ear.
"No" I gave a slight shake of my head
"But I want you to" His mouth blew hot air to my ear causing me to have a feeble shiver run down my spine.
"I am not riding a motorbike for four hours Styles" I tell him turning to look in those eyes of him. I ignore the faint frown he had on, not willing to give in to every request of his.
"You want to" He whispered. I was watching our friends making sure they are minding their own conversation before turning back to Harry.
"I do, but I won't it is too dangerous, even for you.. I'm going by car"
"Suit you self then" He gets up from next to me, walking to the kitchen. I watch him go trying to decide if to follow him in or not. I decide not to, knowing nothing good will come out of it.

We arrived at the cabin to find Niall Eleanor and Lima waiting for us. Harry wasn't back yet, stopping at his mum's before coming here.
"We send you for one, and you come back with two" Liam got up to greet us.
"Maybe we should send Liz out all the time" Niall agreed.
"That will never happen, look at her face" Liam got hold of me cupping my face in his hands for an inspection.
"You should see the other guy" I joke at them, but they didn't buy it.
"It must be painful" Niall said shifting closer to us to have a better look.
"That's the thing, I can't feel a thing" I say. Liam lets me go a confused look on both of their faces.
"Something happen" I start "Harry was able to take the pain away"
"Physical pain?! It finally worked!" Liam was ecstatic "I knew it could be done"
That is when I see Louis standing staring at Eleanor in such an intense force and her gazing back at him from across the room.
I get a glimpse at what Louis just then sees.
Him and Eleanor together. I turn to her knowing she can sense it too, in her own way using her own gifts to feel.
I decide to keep what I know to myself leaving them to work it out on their own terms and time.
"Well, I think I'm going to head back home, see my mum and sister" I say looking round.
"Luke you our more than welcome to stay by me, or here where ever you feel like staying, same with you Louis" I tell him
"Thank you but I'll be staying with Eleanor" He says.
"I'm going to stay here for now" Luke walked over to the coach and sat down.
"Ok then" I say
"Liz let me take you home" Niall walked to the front door opening it for me.
I get into the passenger side next to Niall watching him start up the car.
"Did Ed erase the man who did that to you?" He asked
"No" It just downed on me that there is a Company X member walking around knowing of my abilities, my features and probably knowing my name. Fear washed over me. Niall sensing it calmed me down. I let him do his thing knowing that if I want to come up with a plan to fix this I need to be calm.
We arrive outside my house, but I didn't make a move to get out.
"Lizzie, I'm going straight back to the cabin, Liam will find this man, and now that we have Luke, it will be much easier to get to him, have Ed tamper with his memories" Niall reassured me. I nodded at him offering a weak smile. I kiss his cheek feeling grateful and get out the car. I watch him drive off, then make my way up the walkway to the front door. I walk in calling my sister's name. I pace to the kitchen and freeze.
There is a man in a suit sitting at the table with my mum.
"Hello Elizabeth, I've been waiting for you"
