Taken

Chapter 9: Sweet Revenge

I fell asleep, and waited for the morning.

*****

My first victim was Louis. I crept into his room early the next morning, while he slept. The note from 'Harry' was in my hand. I walked over to his closet, and taped the note to the door. Then I opened it, and took every pair of TOMS he owned. I stuffed them under my bed, and then went back to close his bedroom and closet doors.

--Louis' P.O.V--

I woke up in the morning, and went downstairs. i fixed a bowl of cereal, and went into the living room when I was finished eating. I sat down next to Amberlynn and grinned. Without even turning to look at me, she stood up, and walked over to the couch that Niall was on. I sighed in frustration.

Niall looked at my sympathetically, and Harry walked into the room. He smiled.

"Morning, boys. Morning, Amberlynn!" He said. He stood next to the couch she was on, still smiling. His smile faded slightly, and he looked over at me. I shook my head, and his face saddened. Harry came over and sat down beside me.

Liam and Zayn finally came down a little while later. They ate.

"Radio interview today." Liam said. "We need to go get ready." I went upstairs and jumped in the shower before Harry could. When I was done, I wrapped a towel around my waist, and went into my room.. I put on some boxers, and then walked over to my closet. There was a note taped to the door.

Now you have an excuse to wear socks.

-H

I pulled the door open, and removed a pair of red pants, and a black and white striped shirt from the hangers. I put them on, and then went to get a pair of my TOMS, but when I looked in the bottom of my closet, they were all gone. I scratched my head, confused, and re-read the note. I sighed angrily, and grabbed a pair of sneakers, and some socks, and went downstairs.

"Socks, Lou?" Harry asked. "Where are your TOMS?" I looked up at him.

"Hmm. I wonder!" I snapped, and put my shoes and socks on. I noticed Amberlynn smiling out of the corner of my eye, but when I looked up, she had turned to look at Niall.

*The Next Day*
--Harry's P.O.V--

I had a date tonight. Despite Lou's weirdness, I was pretty chipper. He was talking to me, but wasn't as talkative as usual. I put it out of my head, and went to get ready.

I jumped in the shower, and washed my hair and body. By the time I was done,  I had been in there at least an hour. I put on deodorant, and sprayed myself with body spray. I dried my hair, and went to my room.

I walked to my chest of drawers, and started digging through my underwear drawer. I was looking for my pair of lucky green boxers. I couldn't find them. Maybe they were in the laundry. I put a towel around my waist, and went to look for my boxers. Still nothing.

Going back upstairs, I re-checked all of my drawers. I found a note in the bottom of one.

How lucky can you get without them?
-B

I ran my fingers through my curls, and put on another pair.

*The Next Day*
--Louis' P.O.V--

Harry still hadn't returned all of my TOMS. I hated it because I had to wear socks. I was hoping he'd give them back soon. In the mean time, I could really use a snack. Liam had went to the grocery store yesterday, and bought me a fresh bag of carrots.

I pushed myself up off the couch, and walked into the kitchen. Opening the fridge door, I found the bag, and reached into get it. I went to open it, but discovered the bag had already been opened. I frowned. Amberlynn ate them too, so it was probably her.
