Niall's POV

Deep down I know that I am being an ass to Elizabeth. But she doesn't understand this is the only way...she'll find out soon.

Elizabeth's POV

I was kneeling on the grass with my hands on my knees crying in front of my parents stone that the academy made as a memorial.

"There you are, Ellie." Harry sighs in relief. "I've been looking for you everywhere "

"How did this happen? My life used to be simple. I had both of my parents and I loved them dearly." I mumble picking at the grass with my fingers. "And now my best friend betrayed me and both of my parents are dead."

"Elizabeth." Harry breaths kneeling down beside me.

"I know I shouldn't be resentful but I am. I hate Niall and I know I'm going to sound like such a bitch but I hate my parents...at least I'm trying to."

"Why?" Harry asks. I glance up at him and he is frowning.

"Because they lied to me about who they really were my whole life, they left me alone thinking that they were on business trips when in reality they were here!" My voice letting out a small sob. I take in a deep shaky breath blinking my tears away.

"But in a way I can't hate them because they did keep my safe and if they weren't the people that they were than I wouldn't have gotten the chance to be with you."

"Come here," Harry says wrapping his arms around me hugging me to him. "Your parents would be so proud of you. You are strong and selfless. You think about others and try to make their day better before worrying about your own." He says pulling away to look down at me.

"I miss them so much. I miss my dad" I sniff. "He was the one who taught me to be the tom boy that I am, who taught me how to ride a bike and..." I stop willing my tears away.

"You are an incredible young women and I am truly blessed to have you." Harry says leaning down so his face was in front of mine. "I just hope that if your parents are looking down at us...I hope that they see that I am worthy of you."

"You are." I nod. "They know that because you have been there with me through think and thin, through every tear, fight and panic attack. You have kept me safe as well. I know that if they are seeing us now, they know that you are an incredible man." I smile at him kissing the corner of his mouth.

"I love you." Harry whispers as I lean into him, his cheek pressed at the top of my head.

"I love you."

Unknown's POV

"Did he do what I asked?" I ask, as I gaze out the window, the sky a dreary grey.

"Yes, sir."

I smile."Excellent. Styles won't even know what is yet to come."

Elizabeth's POV

The whole student body was held in for the assembly room just like every month in the past. The assemblies usually consisted of how everyone is doing in their training and how we can improve. However, this time around I'm pretty sure we are going to talk about further precautions due to the unexpected devil hound attack in school grounds.

"Aright students with the surprise attack that was made by the devil hounds the rest of the staff and I have agreed for all of you to get a shot." Mr. Heartwood explained standing by the podium. "This is sort of like a flu shot which means if something does happen like before and a devil hound does bite you then you will not get infected by it."
