Chapter 1
*Author P.O.V*
"Welcome to our party. We hope you all have a good time." Queen Styles said as she waved down from the balcony in her fluffy purple dress."If you ever need anything, ask our servants and guards."
Zayn stumbled out the kitchen with a sliver tray in his hand that had fancy food on it. He resisted the urge to stuff it in his mouth and say it was spoiled when someone asked what happened to him. He moved around the fancy dressed people, making sure he didn't bump into them or step on their feet. He almost fell when his shoulder was grabbed tightly. He looked looked at the man, who looked at the tray with a raised eyebrow. Zayn put the tray in front of him and kept a smile on his face while the man ate in front of him. Zayn left when the man shooed him off, leaving Zayn to mumble to himself about respect. He serviced a few more people before he went back in the kitchen and sat down by the open backdoor. He watched as a homeless cat limped up to the door and started to meow softly. A cook came over and kicked it away, causing Zayn to glare at him.
"It's okay, mittens. we'll get some food at some point." A blonde said while he picked up the shivering cat and put it in his shirt.
"Here, I'm sure they won't notice this missing." Zayn said as he handed a basket of bread and a sausage roll to the strange."What's your name?"
"Niall and thanks for the food. I thought me and mittens wouldn't see the sun by the end of the week." Niall said while he took the food before walking away with a smile.
Zayn smiled, feeling quite proud of himself. He wished he could have given Niall all the food that was in the food storage room. He knew the royal family wouldn't need all of it or notice it missing. He closed the door and relaxed in his seat. He closed his eyes and blocked out the noises that were in the kitchen. He opened his eyes a few minutes later when his shoulder was tapped lightly. He nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw Prince Harry standing in front of him. His eyes grew wide, seeing the bright grey liquid inside the thick needle. Zayn couldn't believe that he was actually looking at it. He's heard about it in the castle almost every single day. He wondered how Harry even got it because it's really hard to find. He wondered why the Prince was even interacting with him.
"How did you get that, Prince Harry?" Zayn asked, making sure that he looked okay.
"Call me Harry. I hate all that formal stuff." Harry said, then held up the needle with a smile on his face."Some crazy guy ran in here and gave it to me and told me not to let them take it."
"Are you going to use it?" Zayn asked, and Harry shook his head, then held out the needle to Zayn, whose eyes grew wide."I can't take that."
The needle was very special and rare in the town. Each needle held a gift inside that turned the weakest man to Superman. It hurt like hell once it was in you for the first time, but after that, it feels like nothing. However, only certain people are born to handle the gift inside. If their body couldn't handle it, they would die or be heavily sick for the rest of their life. The only way to tell was by someone's blood type. If you were an O blood type, you could handle it, but if you were a B, you couldn't. Not that many people were born with O type, so it's rare to have it. Zayn just so happened to be an O type, but he doesn't want it after seeing what it did to his father. He watched his father go through horrifying pain before dying in his mother's arms. He didn't want to die like that. He wanted to grow old and die in his sleep or from a stroke. Harry was an O type, but he doesn't like pain, so he'd rather give it to someone he considers a friend.
"I want to see what gift you would get, so take it." Harry said, putting the needle in his hand and wrapping his fingers around it."You know why I can't take it."
"Fine." Zayn said, and Harry clapped and let out a cheer before dragging him out to the fancy backyard.
Fireworks were going off in the sky, making it as beautiful as ever. Some kids were running around in their fancy clothes with sparklers in their hands. Fireflies were flying around, making the garden look magical as Harry pulled Zayn to a more private area. Zayn gulped hard as he opened his hand and looked down at the needle while Harry was bouncing on his heels. He watched Zayn take in a deep breath and lift up the sleeve of his work shirt. Zayn pressed the needle against his skin and closed his eyes before letting it prick his skin. Harry got quiet, and still, as he looked at the liquid inside, the needle disappeared. Zayn took it out and looked at his arm, feeling a slight tingle in it, which made him let out a breath of relief. A hiss left his mouth as a sudden pain ran throughout his body. He fell to the ground with the needle falling out of his hand.
"Oh my god, Zayn, your veins are glowing." Harry said as he got on his knees, getting his silk dress pants dirty.
"It burns so much." Zayn said as he shook and let out a scream of pain, causing a guard to come over quickly.
"We're fine. Just go back to your post." Harry said, waving the guard off who followed his order immediately."Just hang on, Zayn. It'll end in another ten minutes."
"Help me inside." Zayn said, and he nodded before taking him inside and up to his bedroom."Harry, you know servants aren't allowed up here unless we're cleaning or giving you something."
"You're my friend, and I won't let your social ranking or job get in the way of our friendship." Harry said as he laid him down on his king-size bed.
"You're such a good friend." Zayn said with a dopey smile on his face before he passed out, causing him to laugh.
"So are you." Harry said, then kissed his head before leaving the room quietly and telling the guards not to disturb him.
