•---Past Leila---•




I groaned as I woke up. I was in a dark place, I couldn't see anything. I was laying in a bed. It was surprisingly comfy. "Liam?" I croaked.




"Leila. Hey your awake." He replied glumly. I squinted, following the sound of his voice to find him. My eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness. Liam was in a bed across the room, sadly sitting there staring at nothing.




"Mom and Dad? Are they..?" I ask, scared to hear the answer.




"Don't know." He replied steadily. "King Zayn wouldn't tell me." He joked,"He's been down here once. I think he's a shifter Leila. The leader Shifter."




"What? But I thought shifters were good! There's no wa-"




"Thought they were good?! Look what they did to us! To mom and dad! Don't you remember the story mom told us the other night? Well it wasn't a story. She was warning us Leila. Shifters are trying to take over the world. And you have something to do with it. So do I. I've always known you were different but..." He sighed. I was about to respond when we heard a noise on the ground. We looked at each other, eyes wide. I looked down and saw a small rat. I noticed something odd about it right away. I could barely make it out but I could've sworn that in its fur the word "ZAP!" Was spelled out just like...




"LIAM! Look!" I cried, pointing at the rat as it grew into a human figure. It was the most disturbing thing I'd ever witnessed at this point in my life Surprisingly, I'd get used to the sight before long.




"Well well well. The princess is awake. How are you sweetie?" Zayn smirked at me.




I glared in response, and as I was about to speak Liam shouted "SHUT UP YOU JERK GET AWAY FROM MY SISTER. I DONT KNOW WHO THE HELL YOU THINK YOU ARE TALKING TO HER LIKE THAT. AND TELL US WHERE OUR PARENTS ARE!" Liam jumped to his feet and ran towards Zayn full of anger, but Zayn just laughed and disappeared. Literally. He vanished into mist. Liam stood there dumbfounded as I sat there confused. Zayn reappeared behind Liam and threw him against a wall.




"LIAM!" I choked as I stood up but stopped quickly as Zayn smiled crookedly at me.

"Calm down princess. He'll be fine." He smirked. "Now relax in here for a bit, I've got some business to attend to. Don't worry sweetie, I'll be back shortly." And with that he left. I ran to Liam practically sobbing. I lifted him up slowly and he coughed and opened his eyes.




"Uurrgghhh what happened? Did I get him?" He asked. I laughed happily and wiped the tears away. Liam smiled and then quickly frowned and squinted, looking at something above me.




"What?" I asked him curiously.




"Look up. I found our way out."




---------------------------------------------




"Liam, your insane. There's no way we can get up there! It must be at least ten feet up!" I argued. Liam had spotted a metal door that opened up on the ceiling. We could just barely hear voices up there. That must be were Zayn went in and out, seeing as there were no other doors and windows..




"Leila! If we stay here who knows what they'll do to you! I'm getting you out of here. I don't care what it takes." Liam said sternly.




I looked into his eyes and saw all his courage. Though I'd never admit it, I admired him. He was so brave, smart, courageous, and he was honestly the best brother a girl could wish for.




"Now," Liam continued, already planning our escape plan,"What do we have? Two beds, that chair, and errr that barrel. I've got it!" He cried as he began moving the beds. I sighed and started helping him. "YES! That right there... Oh wait... The bed on bottom.. There we go... Then the other bed, followed by that chair... And the barrel... YES! WE'VE DONE IT" he cried happily. I smiled at him.




"Let's climb."
