Jill's P.O.V:

"I warned you Harry." I hear Zayn shouting as we get closer to the lab.

"My family kept this a secret for a reason-"

"I don't understand why this is such a big deal all-"

"Neither do I but from what I've learned, my family's secrets are usually dangerous once let out." Zayn finishes as I open the door.

"I deserved to know." I tell him.

"Jill." He walks to me. "Thank heavens you're alright." He gives me a warm hug. I open my mouth to say something when he pulls back but he whispers "I know, we'll chat later." In my ear, I furrow my eyebrows and give him a small nod.

"I've been watching this footage over and over again while you two were arguing." Liam says typing away on his laptop.
"Two things I know for sure is; one, there's something blocking your magic. You can't access it, the only time it becomes active is when your life is in danger." Liam tells me. I nod not really sure what to make of it. I'm not really sure what to make of anything these lads have been telling me. "And two your magic is extremely powerful. You haven't been trained the way we have; our whole lives , so you have no control over your magic. Which explains how you shattered the glass window I installed which was three centimeters thick. "Liam says walking toward the projector screen that's descending from the ceiling. I feel so guilty for damaging all of his things. The screen shows; me in the padded room. I feel a bit embarrassed that everybody is watching me on screen.

"Why do you have to show us the footage?" I ask Liam."you just explained what happened."

"Yeah but." Liam says balancing his laptop in one hand and typing with the other."I just think you lot should see something." He says stopping an exact moment in the video where I look absolutely horrific. "Watch." Liam says pressing play and I eye the projector screen. It's quite odd watching myself suffer. "There."He pauses the video to the exact moment that I screamed, just before the glass could shatter.

"What? I don't see anything." I look to Zayn who seems just as clueless as me then to Harry who's standing on the other side of me.

"Your eyes." He says not looking at me. I switch my focus back onto the screen. "They're red." He tells me just as I notice them.

"That's extraordinary." Louis comments.

"Our eyes are only ever known to be two colours; sapphire and golden. Most of our eyes are golden and children of dimidium have sapphire eyes." Liam says looking to nobody in particular. "Your eyes are something I can't explain."

"What's dimidium?" I ask probably mispronouncing the word.

"That's a story for another time poppet." Zayn interrupts."For now we need to talk." He says leading me out of the lab. We walk down the hall back to Liam's room, in silence. I think of Perrie as we pass the photo of Liam and Danielle that I saw earlier.

"Does Perrie know?" I ask as Zayn shuts the door to Liam's room.

"Of course she knows." Zayn takes a sit on the bed patting next to him for me to sit down too. "Do you think grandfather would let me be in a serious relationship with a human girl?" He raises his eyebrows.

"Perrie is a-"

"Yes." Zayn cuts me off. "Look I don't think you should tell anybody at home anything-"

"Why not maybe my father knows something he could help-"

"No Jill. Just listen to me. Grandfather thinks you're a half breed, hell I thought you were a half breed until I got here."
