A/N heyy, thankyou find_the_freedom for commenting and reading my other stories. it means alot. onto the chapter, enjoy!

*Melody POV*

i wake up in my lounge room to the boys voices. i decided to pretend to be asleep a little longer so i could hear what they were talking about. "where did her brother even come from?" i hear Niall ask "i dont know, but why does she want to stay? doesnt she want to see her family??" i hear Harry say after. following after harry i hear "who was she trying to save? and why did they run into the water? Melody's allergic to the salt isnt she?" by Zayn. "Yeah she is, and why was her brother so angry?? did she do anything??" i hear Liam ask afterwards. i decide to sit up and show that i was awake. "i'm guessing you all have some questions huh?" i ask looking down, showing that i was listening in on their conversation. 

"ok Niall you ask first" i say waiting for the question that ill either have to lie to answer, or bend the truth a bit. "where did your brother come from?? i didnt see him anywhere until you came shouting telling him to stop" he asks "i forgot that he likes to come to that beach once a week. it just happened to be yesterday that he come. he was further on down the beach" i say answering his question, kind of lyin. "Harry, your turn" i say fiddling with the end of my shirt. 

"why dont you want to go home yet?" he asks. "my family never really liked me going away much, so they basicslly just kept me at home" i say, its not lying, they didnt like me going away from the kingdom so the did keep me at home. "Liam, you go" i say, trying to avoid zayns question, which would be the hardest to answer...

"why was your brother so angry??" he asks. i dont really have to lie for this one. "when my brother asked what happened when they kidnapped me he was also looking for injuries on me. he saw my hands-" when i said that Harry grabbed my hand and looked at them. i couldnt say my fins, but my hands were also pretty bad. "what happened?" he said with everyone now looking at my hands. "when they took me i tripped and they started dragging me by feet. i tried to grab onto anything i could but my hands just got scrapes and splinters. i say tearing up at the memory of being taken. "im sorry mel" he says and they all give me a hug. i nod and continue what i was saying. "so when he saw my hands he got really angry. he's a protective older brother who hates to see me hurt. he wanted to find the people who took me and he said that he wanted to kill them, so he ran off. i just had to calm him down before he hurt anyone" i say and they all nod. "Louis you have any questions?" i ask him. i think Zayn knows that i was avoiding asking him because he gave me a suspicious look.

"yeah, what were they training for? and what happened to your mum? you only said dad and broth-" he said but was cut off with a slap upside the head from Liam. "you dont ask that you dimwit" he said and Louis instantly regret what he said. "oh i'm sorry i didnt think" he apologized. "dont worry,  i was training for looking after something very special but i dont want to look after it. and my mum. she was murdered when i was 9" i say and look down replaying the terrible memory. "oh, im sorry" Louis said. "its fine, you didnt know" i say and give him a reassuring smile and he smiles back. i take a deep breath and look at Zayn. "Zayn, do you have any?" i ask him.

"yes, why did you run into the ocean when your allergic to the salt?? and who were you trying to save??" he asks looking at me with pure curiosity. "ok, umm..." i trail off trying to think of an answer. everyone looks at me waiting for an answer and i try my hardest to think of something. "sheep" i say and they look at me weirdly "sheep?" Zayn asks. i nod and hum in agrrement. "i was trying to save some baby sheep from a farm, they killed them cruely and only while they were still lambs so i tried to save them." i say hoping it was a good enough lie. they look at me oddly "okaaay, but what about the water?" Zayn asks again. i sigh and try and think of another answer... "umm, we saw my Dad coming up behind him and we ran into the water to hide?? we swam a little way out and started swimming off to the side where he was set up and he dried me off immediately so i didnt get a reaction" i say hoping they'll believe it. they didnt, but let it go. 

"ok, its getting kind of late, lets have some food then go to sleep" Liam said and i looked at the time. 7:45. we heated up some food and went to sleep. i hope everything turns out ok...
