"Mary, Mary! Help me!" Maura screamed as she banged on her friends doors. Hot tears were streaming down here cheeks.

Soon Mary opened her doors with a frightened look on her face.

"My god, Maura! What happened?"  Mary gestured for Maura to go into her room; she threw a blanket over her friends trembling shoulders.

"It's Niall. It's my boy. He is gone!" Maura cried hot tears as she tried to calm down a bit; so she could breath properly.

"Gone? How?" Mary felt her heart sink. Wasn't there enough sadness in this mansion already.

"After hearing what happened to Mrs Amelia, I went to see Niall to ask him to go to town and get a beautiful flower arrangement to be put next to her room, but his door was wide open and the first snow had come on the ground and into his cottage and he wasn't there. The room was cold; as if it had been open whole night." Maura said in one breath before breaking down again.

"Ok. Let me go and find Alexander. We can't bother Mr Styles with these news. It's already hard on him." Mary said as she hugged Maura and ran towards the stables to find Alexander and try to find some people from the town that could help and search for the small lad.

"Hello, Jessia!" Harry said softly as he cradled his newborn daughter; her little button nose shining as she made small sounds. "You are a beautiful girl, aren't you?"

A knock on the doors made Harry look up to see Louis walking in.

"I am so sorry, Harold." Louis said with teary eyes. He was in a nearby town on business and had chosen to come to Doncaster and visit his friends to only find out about what happened the night before.

"Can you please come and hug me, Louis. I really need it." Harry said with a quite soba as he put Jessia in her bassinet and immediately he was engulfed into a hug.

"Everything will be fine. Somehow, everything will be alright." Louis hugged his friend and looked at the sleeping babe in the bassinet. She was so small. His heart broke for her and his friend.

Louis told Harry that he will stay at his mansion for few days. So he sent Liam to take his thing to his rooms and when Liam did that; he tried to find Niall which he failed at. After some time he overheard some of the workers talking  about a stable boy going missing  and Liam's heart felt uneasy.

"I am sorry to disturb your conversation, gentlemen. But what is it about a stable boy missing?" Liam said with his most polite voice; voice that he dreaded.

"It's Mr Styles stable boy. Little Horan. He takes care of Mr Styles prized horse. He will have another blow after loosing his wife." Older gentlemen shook his head and went away to his shed where he took care of the sheep.

Liam felt panic kick in as he ran to Niall's little cottage. He found it unlocked and as he went inside he saw a woman crying on Niall's bed.

"W-Who are you?" Maura sobbed until she took a better look at the young boy. "You are the boy that chatted with my Niall."

"Yes, ma'am! I ran here as soon as I heard that Niall is missing. Is there anything that I can help you with?" Liam kneeled in front of Maura and took her palms into his.

"I don't know, sweet boy." Maura squeezed Liam's hand and looked in the distance. "I told him to be careful. This world is evil."

Flashback

"Big brother, where are you going?" Niall poked his head from under his thin blanket as he watched his brother get dressed in his outing clothes.
