Niall's P.O.V

'Last night at 12:21 am, two bodies were found under the bed at Great Victoria Hotel in Bradford. 

There was no sight of any kind of suspect at that time. The bodies had been brutally murdered and has several scars in their abdomen area. The room is under deep investigation'

I turn off the T.V groaning. I grabbed a bowl of cereal and sunk down in my chair. It is the third time this week. A body being brutally murdered under the bed and most of the scars are on their abdomen area. God! People wake up! This can be a joke someone is playing. If the police is doing a deep investigation why don't they have a suspect? This town is crazy.

I was forced to go to this boarding school called William Charles Picard Boarding School. I don't exactly hate it here but it ticks me off when people keep telling me 'If you are bad the letter man will kill you' Sometimes they are ignorant.

"Niall! Come on we'll be late for class!" I hear Louis yell from outside my room. 

I sigh and put on my uniform quickly and run out.

——

When we reached the hallways we go to our lockers which were beside each other luckily I get my books and walk beside him.

"English! Great!" Louis smiled looking at his schedule.

"Hey Lou? Can I ask you a question?" I looked towards him as he nods.

"Well, the rumours about the 'Letter man' has been going around. I've wanted to know, is it a killer or a ghost?" I mumble. I know it was stupid of me to ask but I was curious about the whole deal.

"Oh that? Well according to the internet, it is said that there was a family by the family name 'Malik' who died in a house fire. Their oldest son was a troublemaker who played tricks and enjoyed messing with people. When he died, his soul did not rest because of his addiction to tricking people." Louis said in a slow voice. I shove his shoulder as we enter the class.

"Okay class! We are going to do a essay about anything of your choice. 500 words is the minimum 550 is the maximum." Mr.Anderson said in the most annoying voice ever. I grab a piece of paper and a pencil and head out to the computer lab. I sat down in front of a computer farthest away from Mr.Anderson and log on. As soon as it went to the background I clicked on the chrome button and went on google. I felt sweat building up on my forehead as I clicked the search button. I slowly typed in

'Malik Family Death'

There was only one result. I clicked on it and read down.

'June 30th 1875

BRADFORD-The Malik family died of an unknown cause that burned their house down in the downtown area. The police revealed that there was a Woman named Patricia, and Man named Yaser. They had 4 children with unknown names.'

I read until something really interesting came to my eye.

'On March 8 of the year before, their eldest son was convicted of murder. He stabbed someone in their abdomen area 33 times.'

That matches exactly the facts about the wounds of the dead bodies! I scrolled down to search more and another thing caught me yearning to read it.

'There are rumoured names for the eldest child- Those are—'

As soon as I came across it the computer shuts off.

"What?" I mumbled. I looked up at the screen. When I did there was a light that lasted 1 second then turned off. That looked like.. Eyes.. looking at me. In a evil way. It's like they don't want me to read on. I press the power button but it doesn't turn on.

"Okay class! It's time to go back! This is due next week okay?" Mr.Anderson announced.

I sat myself down in science class. I'm still curious about this 'Malik' family. It's really interesting now. 

"Hello students! I would like to announce that there is a new person here to join us!" Mr.Blake (my homeroom teacher) said. "Now introduce yourself."

"I'm Zayn. Zayn Malik." The new kid said as my eyes widened. 

M-Malik? Wait! Maybe one person escaped and had more kids and he came along! Yeah! Maybe if I become friends with him I can find out more about his family.

"Okay, Mr.Malik. Sit beside Mr.Horan, in the back row." Mr.Blake said while staring at me "Oh. Yes, you can show Zayn around the school during this class, because I trust you." he added smiling at me.

I smile back and laugh. Mr.Blake is the best. Well even though he has stupid jokes. Zayn put his bag in the seat beside mine and followed me outside.

"Hi." He said quietly crossing his arms.

"Hi, I'm Niall." I replied walking to the office area.

"Well. You probably know me." He said rubbing the back of his head. We both laugh and I show him around.

When I was done showing him around we sat in the cafeteria room, anyways science class is boring.

I looked over to Zayn who was looking around the place.

"Hey Zayn?" I said quietly.

"Yeah, what is it?" He replied.

"I heard your family has something to do with these death letters. Do you know anything about it?" I say looking away.

Zayn's eyebrows raised and he stutters "Y-Yeah. Actually I do. My mom said that there was my great great grandmother had escaped and started another family. I'm petrified about this killing though. The guy who plays tricks on people come visit me all the time. He freaks me out." He sighed "I want him to go away." He says under his breath shivering. 

I blink. Wow this guy is so innocent. And cute like a possum! Everything about him is perfect actually.

"Well. Maybe you can share dorms with me and see how is goes. Maybe he will stop bothering you." I say and smile.

"R-Really! Oh my god! That means so much to me! Thank you Niall!" Zayn says giving me a pat on the back. 

"You know, you have a really bad boy look for someone so nice like you." I laugh.

"It's just protection." He chuckles.

"Well then. It seems I have a new friend to obsess about." We both laugh.
