Zayn was terrified things keep happening around him and he wasn't sure how. The past few days were really difficult, him trying to delude himself. First by ignoring what he noticed, then by not believing it. But now he can't do that anymore. His daughter was missing and its his fault. Gigi went to her OBYN and left Khai with him and the nanny.
"What should I do?" he racked his brain to remember the few things he knew about this f*cking powers. He had never considered having powers, because he didn't. how did he acquire it?
As a child he used to hear people whisper about people with special abilities and powers. He learned very fast that they are cursed. At least amongst conservative Muslims.
"Pray to never be cursed." His grandpa used to say. as he grown older, he was exposed to different perspectives. Still, he doesn't want to be "special". He may not be a believer anymore, but his family is very important to him.
He searched the whole house. Careful not to wake the nanny. He tried to find a link between all recent incidents. He always finds the stuff around the house, at random places. "Maybe outside..." as soon as he exited the house, he could hear a crying from the barn. "K..." he rushed toward the sound.
Inside the stable, he found her on the ground of one of the horse's stalls. His favorite horse's was standing near her. His hooves were beside her tiny body. Zayn has to be calm not to startle the animal. It was already freaking out by her cries.
He Looked around and saw a few carrots laying around "Come here" he reached in, giving it a carrot while petting its auburn mane. He slowly entered the stall. when Khai was in arm reach, He picked her up cradling her tightly. Finally, she was safe. Remembering he was still in the stall "you're a good horse." He gave it a carrot as a thank you, then left with his precious baby.
"this should never happen again." he opened the front door to be face with the frightened nanny.
"KHAI...!" she took her from his hand. "I was so scared mister Zayn, I woke up and she wasn't there, I thought someone.... a lot of children are stolen...." She rambled checking the baby dirtied clothes.
"Sorry, I took her out for a bit."
"No need, I over reacted" she hung her head in shame. If only she knew. "I'll change her clothes..." looking at him for approval.

"Louis?" Zayn was very hesitant to disclose he recent problem with anyone. Louis is his best mate and he trust him with must things.
"Hi, why are you calling at this hour" Louis voice was deep from sleep.
"I couldn't call when Gi was around and I needed time to think. Can I ask you about something? I have no one to ask for help. My Fam will shun me and I don't see Gi being of any help." He ranted as soon as he was sure he isn't in ear shut distance.
"Mate, slow down." Louis said. Zayn heard rusting of sheets. "Hold on." he could hear whispers on background then sound of door closing. "Zayn, are you ok?"
"NO, I am telling you." He was so exhausted from having to be alert to avoid any more accidents. He was so excited when Gigi came home. He immediately isolated himself in his mancave as she referred to his music/gaming room. "this past week was very hectic, thing kept disappearing and sometime appearing. And this evening Khai... I was so scared." He was reliving the terror. "Luckily she wasn't harmed. What if this happened again? Should I turn myself in? I don't want be an experiment Lo." He was in verge of tears. He didn't know what could Louis do to help. Still, he needs someone to talk to.
"Zayn, are you saying that you..." Louis slowly asked. "You have ... it?"
He rested his hurting head onto his knees. He didn't want to say it. If he did, it'll be true. "I'm not sure. It still new and maybe... maybe there is some kind of cure?" he heard a rumor years ago. He doesn't know where to ask.
"Since when?"
"few days...? I don't know when exactly. I notice this week. I..."
"I think we need to finish this in person. Its not good to talk about "this" over the phone" he understood what his friend was trying to convey. If he has ability, he has no rights. He knows as much. A lot of people were imprisoned for using their powers, which for some reason was illegal.
"Ill come over to help, tomorrow or a day after."
"NO!" he don't want to be around Gigi and Khai. " I mean Ill go to LA. I want to see you and Harry"
"but the farm is more isolated and we can..."
"Please, I don't want Gi to know" he finally confessed. Louis stayed silent for seconds. "Louis I..."
"I understand..." he said. "you should come, but don't tell Harry. It will be a friendly visit. Ok?"
"thank you..." he was very thankful for his understanding friend. Louis is a good friend.
