Criminal Activity (ziall)

Part Fourteen ~ Niall's Night

Thursday 22nd February

Niall was fast asleep, unaware that Zayn's silhouette stood at the end of the bed. A weapon in hand, a smirk plastered on his lips... It was time for Niall to die. It would be quick and painful, Zayn would have to pull an innocent when he wakes up to a dead "boyfriend" whom he "cares" about.

"This took a lot longer than I'd hoped" Zayn began to move, slinking to Niall's side of the bed

Niall stirred in his sleep, murmuring Zayn's name and pulling his pillow under him as though it were a soft toy.

"It really is a bummer you believed me" Zayn decided to make a quick change of weapon

He drew out a gun, this would be louder and get attention. All he had to do was shoot Niall in the chest, scream and cry then toss the gun out the window, hiding the glove somewhere else... It was simple, quick, and easy.

Zayn pointed his semi-auto pistol to the ground, pressing the magazine release and letting the magazine drop onto the ground. He picked it up and tossed it out the open window and began to reload the pistol with a new magazine, resting it against the magazine well. He pushed up his magazine till he heard a click and then began to smirk again. He pulled back the magazine to check if it was firm and was satified to discover it held in place.

He pointed the trigger at Niall but the boy rolled over, leaving his back to face the opposite way. Zayn grumbled and had to climb onto the bed t keep Niall still... He wished the kid wouldn't roll all the time. As Zayn pressed the muzzle of the pistol to Niall's chest his eyes began to move under the lids.

Zayn held his breath and Niall's eyes began to flutter open. Zayn panicked and slid the gun under the bed and had to force a smile when Niall woke confused, seeing Zayn knelt over him

"what?" Niall attempted to sit up

"just uh... Just go back to sleep snowflake" Zayn said trying to hide his nerves

"why are you on me- why are you not sleeping?" Niall began to worry that Zayn was in fact what the police had said he was

"I couldn't sleep?" It was more of a question than a statement

"you... you never sleep" Niall yawned

"I do... sometimes" Zayn knew that sooner or later Niall would catch on

"I guess" Niall sighed

"I just... uhm-"

"why do you want me to sleep?" Niall asked "because you're on me and if what I think you're trying to do is correct shouldn't I be awake?"

That was it, Zayn had run out of ideas... He'd been caught and was hoping that Niall would be daft enough to leave the last piece of the puzzle lost

"I uh... uhm-"

"you're the-"

Zayn cut Niall off, smashing their lips together... There was no other option. If he'd tried to kill Niall he'd get away before Zayn could reach his weapon. And even if Zayn was quick enough Niall could escape because unlike Zayn he'd been resting, there was no way out of this

"I guess I'm awake for a reason then" Niall gasped

Zayn couldn't answer, he didn't know what to say at this point in time. He just needed Niall to relax, become tired and sleep so that he could be killed. Killing someone in their sleep was always and easier job.

Several minutes passed, Niall didn't even take a breather... Zayn feared that he would miss his last opportuinity. His deadline was in an hour and if he didn't complete this task he wouldn't get paid, he'd get fired and probably almost beaten to death because of his failure. He had to be quick.

In the end though, Zayn and Niall were still both awake till the sun rose and Zayn began to fear for his life. He knew he was in trouble now, because he'd failed his mission and had ended up falling for his target... How pathetic.

"Niall" Zayn gulped

"yeah Zayn?" Niall asked looking concerned

"promise me that you'll stay" Zayn bound their fingers

"stay?" Niall was confused

"With me" Zayn whispered "till I have to go"

"I don't know what you're talking about" Niall frowned

"Take off the camera" Zayn mumbled reached for the tiny lens in Niall's wristband

"no Zayn-"

"trust me" Zayn smiled

Niall unclipped his watch himself and crushed it with the back of his phone

"what did you want to say?"

"I did it" Zayn mumbled "I killed the guys... I did it all and-"

"now you're going to kill me?" Niall remained calm, he knew that anyone that could kill the way Zayn did lusted for the fear in people, he loved the screams and the pain he caused and giving him the slightest droplet of it would send him over the edge

"not anymore" Zayn shook his head "it's too late"

Niall sat in silence, unsure of what 'too late' meant.

"I don't- I don't understand" Niall pulled his hand away from Zayn's

"I'm not going to hurt you" Zayn whispered "I'd never do it"

"explain please?" Niall still wasn't following

"there's nothing to explain" Zayn smiled, tears beginning to rush down his cheek

Niall scrunched his eyebrows together, not only was he confused but he was lost and a little worried that there was more to the tears than what Zayn was busy letting out

"you love me?" Niall finally caught on

"So much" Zayn began to sob, reaching forwards and burying himself into the safety of Niall's chest
