Chapter 16.

The blonde haired boy surveyed Zayn, before shrugging slightly. He walked around the other male, looking him up and down before shrugging again.

"Alright! I'll do it, for a small fee though." He said, hopping up and sitting on top of the smaller pillars adorning the room. Zayn raised an eyebrow, crossing his arms over his chest.

"What exactly is it you want?" He asked skeptically, watching the boy swiftly move from pillar to pillar as he jumped on them.

"I want nothing more than to attend the ball, only the highest of the high usually get to go, and I've always watched from the shadows. The drinking, the music, the dancing. It's all amazing. If you can get me in, you've got yourself a deal." He said, looking at Zayn with a bright smile as he stood straight.

Zayn thought to himself for a second, was he really in any place to strike deals with the Cheshire? With Liam in a coma, there was no one there to protect him from the Cheshire's wrath if worst came to worst. He stood silently for a moment before nodding as he stuck out his hand.

"Fine, ill speak to the Cheshire about it, if he says no, I promise I will find a way to get you in." He said as the blonde boy let out a happy laugh, a wide grin spread across his face.

"Marvelous! Now, come now! We've got training to do, places to be, people to see!" He said, grabbing Zayn's arm as he dragged him through the palace swiftly, no one taking notice of the two.

It almost seemed as if the two were invisible, as if N's tight grasp on the other's slim wrist had a greater use than to help Zayn keep up with the boy. The massive doors of the palace came into sight and the other took a sharp turn, down a flight of stairs, pushing through doors.

Zayn soon found himself underground, and there were others there too. He couldn't believe that there was another world underneath the palace he had been held captive in.

"What's this?" He asked curiously, looking around as more people started to notice the two men.

N flashed a wide smile his way as he waved his hands around dramatically.

"Welcome! To the Underground Society!"
