10- Crows and Men

" flight **** ,"i heard the announcer speak through the speakers of the airport.

Louis stood up with his bag in his hands.Zayn soon followed and helped me with my baggages .

" thanks," i smiled at zayn . I held sophia's little hand on my left hand and loki's huge cage with my right hand.

As soon as we went to our destined seats, i sighed.

" tiring ,innit?" Zayn smirked a bit.

I nodded . I looked at sophia ,who was by my side and completely asleep.

It was a few minutes later when i ,myself, fell asleep .

*
" tatia , tatia," i heard zayn call me ." We're here."

I blinked a few times before i could finally see zayn's tired face.

" you look like hell ," he chuckled.

" wow ,thanks ," i said sarcastically.

" my pleasure ," he smiled. " now , come on before louis decides to leave us .."

I managed to weakly smile back at Zayn . I felt so tired . Too tired ,in fact. I felt like all of the energy in me got drained out and as if i was dehydrated.

I carefully stood up and carried sleeping little sophie in my arms. I stumbled out of the plane and went through the immigration .

After we passed that , zayn compelled a car for us. I would have protested by i was too tired to even utter a word. My arms ,which were carrying sophie , felt like noodles; wobbly and weak. My muscles were getting tired.

I heard a sigh coming out of louis' mouth . He approached me and took my sister from my arms gently ." You'll drop her . You are too tired."

" no-"

" just let me ," he said with more command this time. I simply nodded and let him carry her.

As soon as i gave him sophie , the headlights of a glossy black SUV blinded me for awhile. It came to a stop right beside me and louis. The car window opened down and revealed zayn." Get innnnnn..."

" a little help?" Louis said , looking at sophie momentarily.

Zayn got out of the car and placed little soph inside the car ,putting a small pillow on the arm rest and letting her lay her head there.

I soon followed with my bag in my hands but two hands gripped my baggages along with my hands, the sudden heat making me surprised.

" let me do it ," louis told me .

I didnt even bother to protest and let go of the baggages." Thank you."

He just nodded and let me enter the SUV first. Once we were all settled , we made our way to our destination which is.... I dont really know.

A few minutes or hours later , i was woken up by Zayn . He helped me get up since my body was so tired and mdhead was pounding a bit.

When i got out of the van (with the assistance of zayn) a tall enormous house was the first thing i saw . It was a modern black and white house , almost like Louis' house but a but smaller. It was still big compared to normal houses . Half of the house was made of glass that let me see the sofa . Dark brown L shaped sofa that looked absolutely comfortable.  I could see the flat screen tv hung inside . The deep brown curtains were opened at the bedrooms on the second floor ,but i couldnt see what's inside since it was dark and the lights were off.

Trudging on the way in , Louis opened the door and lights . He helped me set my bag upstairs to ,which seems to be , my room for awhile . I muttered a thanks and he just nodded , leaving me in the room to rest. I ,however, went to the bathroom (which had a bathtub) and stripped myself of my clothes until i was naked . Dipping my finger to the water to check if it was warm enough , i slowly went in ,and then let myself sink in.

And slowly , my eyelids closed.

I furrowed my brows as i felt a sharp thing poking my forehead. I groaned and opened my eyes . My eyes widened when i saw the same exact crow i saw at my home when i had those " dreams". It was the exact same crow that had those deep green eyes.

The crow let out a loud croak a million times causing me to cover my ears and scream out . Little by little , i could feel my body shut down because of the pain i felt in my ears. The piercing croaks of this fucking crow sure is loud .

I gathered all my strength and grabbed the crow . It tried its best to fly away but i grabbed its wings . It kept on poking my hand with its sharp beak ,causing my hand to get a bit sore , but i wouldnt just let it go . I threw the bird  into the counter and it let out a loud croak before falling unconscious .  It didnt die . I wouldnt kill an animal or anything . I just wanted it to stop croaking and hurting me .

I let out a loud yell when i turned back to the supposed unconscious crow . The crow was now out of sight . Instead, a man around my age lied exactly where the crow was . He was unconscious and a strand of his deep brown locks fell on his face . His pink plump heart-shaped lips where forming a frown. And if there was one thing i really noticed ,was the fact that he was absolutely naked.

I let out a shriek and hugged my body ." LOUIS !!!!" I screamed the first name that would be fast as lightning .

Seconds after i called his name he came to the bathroom door and knocked." What ! Are you okay ?!"

" OPEN THE DOOR FUCK !" I yelled , still scared by the fact that a naked man is right beside the tub where i was in , absolutely vulnerable.

Once Louis opened the door , his eyes widened upon seeing me naked.

" dont look at me !" I said.

He cleared his throat and furrowed his brows when he saw the man ." Did this guy try to rape you?"

" no !" I shrieked." It's h-hard to explain . H-he w-was ..." Clear throat ." He was a crow ! He let out loud croaks a million times , causing my ears to hurt. I was almost gonna fall u-unconscious but then i threw the crow against the counter a-and when i turned back to the thing - i-it wasnt a crow anymore . It was a man instead."

Louis slowly nodded." I can see that ." Louis approached me , making me hug myself even tighter. His eyes focused on my face ." Your ears bled," he muttered . He casted his eyes to the man beside the tub ." Fucking bastard ," he rolled his eyes. " i'm gonna take him to the basement and tie him up . We're going to question him tomorrow. Right now , you rest . It's Christmas Eve tomorrow night."
