Ensorcelled Enigma (One direction, Fantasy)

*I Wish*

NORMAL P.O.V

         We had just entered into a shopping centre, checking out different brands. Darwin had left for some work and told us he would pick us up by noon. Jess had been confused by the letter but shopping always got a smile on her face. We convinced her to use the money as she could later repay it. She was determined on getting a proper job and Darwin had agreed to help her out. Boys had drifted off in other direction dragging Zayn behind them. Thankfully I had managed to avoid his glares today besides I had other things on my mind. Louis had promised me he would find me a partner before tomorrow evening which I considered to be impossible. I sighed as I let Jess pull me into a store with beautiful dresses on mannequins.

            After checking out what felt like a thousand dresses, One was finalized. It was a one-shouldered violet number, flowing from my waistline reaching my knees, a perfect fit. I wondered if I'd ever get to wear it. I didnot get it! What was the point of the masquerade ball that too a couple entry in the starting of the year when all around were strangers.

        I looked around to see Jessica twirling in front of the mirror in her silver floorlength gown with a lacy back. I laughed as the mirror uttered compliments with her every move. I smiled to myself as I saw the happiness on her face.

           The others had already got their stuff and we moved about searching for shoes and accessories. Shopping was always boring, atleast the girly shopping was. It was the fifth time Ally and I were pulled away from the Shoe isle. We always dreamt of owning a shoe collection and the pairs here were marvelous. I eyed a black pair of boots with blue studded skulls near the ankles. My hands twitched to touch them and I almost convinced myself to buy them when Jessica pulled me back.

"Arghh such a wrong timing.." I grumbled.

         We stopped in front of a shop with a big board indicating costumes. The owner was a beautiful looking blonde guy and no doubt all of us were drooling over him. He told us a group of boys had already purchased masks. Choosing masks was my favourite task as every mask was fascinating and of a wonderful make.

            In one and half hour we were done and saw that the boys had already returned. They helped us put our bags inside and we got in the car.

"Is there a nandos here?" Nialler asked excited, obviously he was hungry. As he turned his head in disappointment, Louis patted his back offering him a carrot.

"Vampires can eat?" I asked. Que the fascinating smirk and a bite of carrot.

"Not as tasty as before but edible." He remarked. I smiled and soon enough I was engulfed in my thoughts.

I wish life was easy...

Only if the nightmares stop...God I thought I got over it..

         My mind flooded with flashbacks, the scars. My eyes closed and I took a deep breath. Unknowingly I ran a finger on the scar on my left arm, a slight brown line from my elbow to the middle of my arm.

Why doesn't this heal?

         .  Again like the previous night I felt a gaze on me. My eyes snapped to Zayn who was staring at my hand, a blank expression on his face but with slightly raised eyebrows. As he noticed that i was looking, he averted his gaze staring at the passing blur outside the window. My heart leaped at the millisecond eyecontact.

What was he thinking?

"What happened?" Lou questioned staring at my scar. He couldn't hold in the curiosity anymore i guess.
