Chapter 41- Attack
Autumn's POV
I wake up in the morning next to Louis. Quietly, I jump out of bed and go to the kitchen. I look around in the cabinets and smile. Canned fruit for breakfast! I pour the cans into two different bowls and then I bring the bowls back to where Louis is sleeping.
I shake him.
"Good morning sleepyhead," I say quietly as he groans.
He sits up, rubbing his eyes. I place his bowl of fruit on his lap. Then I sit down next to him and we eat our fruit in silence.
Suddenly, a feeling of unease sets over me. I feel like someone's watching me except no one was there but Louis and he was eating his fruit quietly.
I inched closer to him until I was pressed up against him.
"Louis, I'm scared..." I say shakily.
He looks at me with knowing eyes.
"Yeah, I'm getting creeped out. It feels like someone is watching me... wanna go to the meadow?" he asks.
I nod vigorously. I take our bowls of fruit and set them in the sink full of unwashed and ash-dusted dishes. Disgusting.
When I finished, I grabbed a change of clothes. Then I had a brilliant idea. I grabbed a bathing suit for each of us.
After I changed into the bathing suit, which happened to be a bikini, and had another change of clothes and a towel, I went out.
Louis's eyes grew wide when he saw me. I walked over to him and placed his bathing suit and towel in his hand.
"We're going swimming!" I said with excitement.
"Yay!" he replied with enthusiasm.
He walked to the bathroom and a minute later he walked out ready to go. I just ogle at his abs.
He walked over and held me around the waist. I grabbed around his neck, making him lean closer to me. And we kissed. It was just a simple kiss, full of affection and warmth, making me smile. Then, we started to go up.
Louis swooped me into his arms bridal style, kissed me again, and we took off.
In the end, we ended up at our meadow. I looked at Louis, confused. He just smiled and took my hand, dragging me down a pathway.
When the trees started to thin out, a shimmering, beautiful lake comes into view. I gasp at the sight of it. Louis wraps his arm around me, pulls me closer to him and kisses the top of my head.
I pull away, grabbing his hand and pulling him to the water. Our feet splash through the water, disturbing the little fish who swim in the shallows.
I squeal at the coldness of the water as it reaches my belly button. Louis dives underwater, splashing me in the process. Then he comes back up right next to me and pulls me in deeper.
Finally I get used to the water enough to swim around. We swim for a while, splashing each other every once in a while.
I flick some water at him but he grabs my wrist suddenly, pulling me closer to him. We stare into each others eyes, as close together as possible. It's like a scene from one of the twilight books.
Then our mouths begin to get closer and closer. We kiss and kiss for a long time.
Time flies very fast and soon the sun is directly above us. I decide that it's time to leave and head back. I grab Louis's wrist and began pulling is back to land. I grab a towel and wrap it around myself, using it to shield me from the cold air.
Louis comes over and wraps his arms around my waist. I just lean into him as we fly back to our little town.
Louis shakes me awake and we're suddenly almost at the town.
"Autumn! Wake up. I think there's trouble!" he says, pointing to a column of smoke rising from a building in the town. Louis heads full speed towards the ground, making me nauseous but I hold the feeling back. My friends could be in trouble.
Louis sets us down nearby the burning building, suddenly releasing me. I stagger backwards and take a moment to regain my balance. But in those few moments, someone or something had grabbed me.
I shrieked in surprise. Louis whipped around, seeing me being dragged away. He sprinted towards us but suddenly I couldn't see anymore. Someone had put a blindfold on me. A piece of cloth was put over my mouth to prevent me from alerting anyone else. My hands were bound behind my back with thick rope.
I could here grunts and then Louis telling me name over and over, louder yet getting fainter each time.
"Autumn! AUTUMN! AUTUMN!"
But the yelling disappeared. There were no longer hands grabbing my arms, pulling me around.
I couldn't tell where I was going or how I was getting there, just that I couldn't move or do anything about it for now.
Louis's POV
Autumn shrieked from behind me. I turned around, looking for the reason why but all I could see was her moving backwards, as if being yanked by and invisible force. Suddenly, she was gagged and blindfolded, her hands tied up behind her back.
I started to tell her name, running after her but I couldn't catch up to her and who or whatever was pulling her. Eventually, she disappeared from sight.
I collapsed to the ground, sobs wracking my body. My Autumn, my girlfriend, fiancé, best friend. Gone.
When the sobbing finally stopped, I sat up and noticed a piece of paper near my head. It read:
If you ever want to see
the girl again, be in Paris,
France on Monday at the
Eiffel Tower with all of
your friends.
~The Mad Master
I had no idea who this 'Mad Master' was, but I knew that I was going to get my Autumn back, no matter what.

Hey guys! Autumn got kidnapped! Who took her and how? Will she be alright? How will Louis get her back? Read the next chapter when it comes out to find out.
Also, I have another important announcement. I have decided that there will NOT be a sequel. I'm currently working on another book and I have many more ideas. I've written basically all that I could about these characters. Sorry to let everybody down.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
