"Don't you remember me?" The girl looked up at Zayn with a pout, "I'm Anna."

"Anna?" He repeated, "I don't.. I don't recall.." he sighed, "Let me go.."

"No!" Anna squealed, "We are getting married!"

Zayn stared down at the girl with a confused and annoyed expression. Who the hell was she to say stuff like this? Why would she say that?

"Um.. Excuse me?" He chuckled nervously. Was it a prank? He sure hoped so, "That's not even legal..?"

Anna giggled and shook her head, pressing her face into Zayn's face. If Shane wasn't here (since he was supposedly her uncle), the girl would be cuddling the ground instead.

"I'll remind you," The blonde said, "Do you remember hiding in an old and abandoned factory?" Zayn tensed a bit and narrowed his eyes slightly, "The one.. With red walls. Supposedly haunted by a young boy who appeared usually at the evening.." she giggled again, "But it was you."

Zayn remembered that. He was around her age back then, he knew a thing or two about stealing, mugging and robbing. He was able to survive, even if he was all alone. And people usually brought food there, some dinner leftovers since the cats liked to sleep in there.

And once, there was a little girl. He remembered that as well. She was hiding under a table while two men ran around and looked for her. Zayn scared them away (they were so stupid, believing in the ghost nonsense and ran away as soon as his shadow appeared) and went to help the girl.

"It was you, then?" Zayn spoke, "You were chased by those two men?" he asked and Anna nodded softly, brightness in her eyes.

"And you saved me! You-.. I remember seeing you. You were shining, you were my sun. The light that gave me hope," Her voice was shaking a little, "The next day.. You weren't there. And I promised myself that I'm going to find you and marry you."

The raven haired lad sighed. He'd never thought he was going to have to face this kind of burden. It's not like he had to marry her. He didn't even know her and she was definitely too young.

Niall walked closer to Zayn and put his hand on his arm, while looking at Shane, "We're not here to discuss marriage. We have bigger problems right now. And since you're an ally after all, help us."

Anna finally pulled away but reached to hold onto Zayn's hand. The lad was quicker though and crossed his arms over his chest before they even made contact, "That is right," He nodded, "Let's just.. Take care of important things.."

"I miss Zayn."

Louis raised his eyebrows as he looked at the hybrid. Harry was sitting on the windowsill and waiting for his mate to come back. It was cute, really, but not when he kept saying that over nd over. He's heard that like five times past twenty minutes.

"He's coming back later, don't worry," The short lad hummed and leaned his head back.

"You're so calm because your mate is here with you!" Harry hissed, turning his head to look at the two. Liam was sitting on the couch, reading a book. Louis had his feet in his lap as he relaxed on the couch. The radio was on but the sound was really quiet.

"He's right," Liam spoke, "Zayn is pretty far away so he has a right to miss him and complain some," He turned the page and smiled a little as Louis groaned, "But you should do something, Harry. That way, time is going to fly by quicker."

Harry looked at the boy for a while before nibbling on his lower lip. He should do something useful. Something that might help Zayn and Niall and Liam and Louis. Help them all.

The hybrid got up and walked to a big shelf with old books. He looked at all the titles, struggling to read them. He was always bad at reading. So he couldn't read anything.. But maybe if the books had pictures? Or maps?

Harry smiled to himself and searched for something that would say MAP. And so he found something. The name was hard so he just took the book and sat on the floor, opening it on his lap. His tail was swishing excitedly behind him as he kept turning the pages.

He quickly realized it was pointless. It had to be an old map of a place that didn't exist anymore. And he had no idea where that was. Harry sighed softly.

Was there something he could do? He should just continue his training. He should get strong and make Zayn proud. He should practice throwing the knives and get better than the best.

He practiced the whole day, taking breaks for food and drinks or to go to the toilet. He was so determined. But when it was getting dark, Louis called him, saying that Zayn was back.

And even though Harry was exhausted, he ran to meet the raven haired boy. He got to the entrance hall and froze. His fists clenched and eyes narrowed. He didn't like the sight one bit.

Zayn was annoyed and tired, he could tell by the look on his face. And what caused the annoyance was probably the girl who kept holding onto his arm. She was holding onto his Zayn, his mate. His.

Who did she think she was?

Zayn's eyes soon landed on the curly haired boy. He smiled pleadingly, "Harry, love," he spoke, making the hybrid's anger die down slightly.

Anna loosened her grip in surprise and Zayn quickly slipped away from her, rushing to Harry's side. He embraced the boy and the two shared a kiss. Now the girl was angry.

She had it all planned out. The beautiful boy was supposed to fall in love with her and be with her. They were supposed to kiss and hold hands and tell everyone their romantic story. She was going to get so proud of her heroic boyfriend, she was going to see jealousy in the eyes of all her friends. He was even more beautiful now so the jealousy was supposed to grow big, so big. She was supposed to be better than them all. And then, he would propose and then, they would get married.

But it was all ruined. All her beautiful and perfect plans were ruined. And it was a boy. Some ordinary boy who she was forced to watch as he kissed her Zayn.

Anna's eyes widened once she noticed the boy's ears and tail. She huffed softly. A cat hybrid.

Zayn was with a cat hybrid. It shouldn't be hard to show him who's better. That Harry was just a weak, ordinary cat hybrid. Nothing special about him. He was good for petting and purring while she.. She was a tiger hybrid.

A tiger. She was much better than a cat. She was strong, elegant and smart. She could fight. She could give Zayn so much more than a cat.

Her plans weren't ruined that much after all.. Anna smirked to herself. After all of this ruckus about weird creatures was over, she was going to have him. Have Zayn as hers.

She wasn't going to give him up at all. Even if that means to kill.
