Simon's Angels (A One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter Ten

Ally's POV

Gosh, after I had gotten to a hospital and had Zara admitted and put all the boys with Andy in the lunch area, I sat next to Paul in the waiting room. 

"Ally, I think there's someone within our team who is giving information." Paul whispers to me and I turn off our comms unit and turn to him saying, "Yes. I do too. I also have my eyes on someone."

Paul raises his eyebrow but I shake my head and say, "I won't say who as yet. But she is with us right now."

Paul glances down to the restrooms where Little Mix and Vicky were. He nods slightly as the boys come back into the room. Liam takes a seat next to me. Harry leans against the wall on the other side of me. Louis slides down onto the floor next to Zara's room. Zayn sits on the opposite side of him with Niall. 

"Has the doc come back, yet?" Harry drawls out and I shake my head.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An hour passes. Two hours. Three.

"HOW LONG DOES THIS TAKE??" Louis shouts randomly and Paul hits him upside the head for being so loud.

"Who is a relative of Miss Zara?" A nurse comes out and I hop up with Paul, "I am her... Cousin and this is my father.."

Paul scowls at me and I shrug before the nurse guides us to the doctor's office. We take a seat in front of the doctor who looks at us skeptically.

"Who are you?" He cocks his head to the side and I show him our badges and say, "Zara is a secret agent. We work for Simon Cowell. Paul is the head body guard. We are on a mission and Zara got shot."

"Well.. Miss.."

"Ally." I interject and he nods.

"Miss Ally, I am shocked to say that we tried finding a Zara in our records for a person... She is not supposed to be alive.. Zara was the name of the child agent from back in the 90s. She died.. She was murdered." The doctor reveals and I'm pretty sure both Paul's and my mouth was wide open.

"What about Laila? The name Laila... Born in Bradford, UK." I say quickly and the doctor nods before heading onto his computer to research. 

After a few minutes of research, he shakes his head and says, "Same day, she also got murdered." 

Whoa... So who is she?

Zara's POV

My eyes flutter open to the sound of beeps and a surrounding of white walls. I breathe in deeply and breathe out slow.

"Are you awake now?" I turn to see a nurse standing next to me. 

I nod and feel the pain rivet down my right side.

"Shh. You got shot just under your lungs. I'll get someone for you." The nurse smiles and I smile back and try to remember what happened. All the memories flood back. Zayn. Perrie. Laila. There was a mirror on my side, so I look to see. 

I gasp as I see a black hooded figure in the window behind me. 

"NO!" I scream as I see him raise a gun up to me.

The boys run in just as he runs away. 

"What's wrong?" Liam shouts and I point to the window and they see the man run away.

"What the? What is going on?" Paul bellows as he and Ally run in the room.

"There was a man, Ally. He came. He was going to shoot. What's going on? First then. And now!" Liam rambles as I shut my eyes close and remember why the man looked so familiar. Of course! The man who trained me! 

"Zara? Zara?" Ally's voice tries to shake me out but all I can hear and see is the man and the training room.

Her voice slowly fades out as the man comes into clear view.

"Hello, Zara. How are you, beta?" The man smiles sourly at me.

"My name is Laila." A small voice belonging to me whispers.

"NO! You are my Zara!" The man shouts and I whimper at his voice.

"Sweetie, don't make me shout at you. You know you are Zara. You are my Zara. You will always be my Zara. Laila does not exist. She died. Understand?" He says and when I don't respond he screams, "UNDERSTAND?"

I nod and allow him to caress my cheek, "Good. Now won't you come to play with me?"

He takes my small hand and leads me away. We visited so many places that day. In every place, I was known as Zara, his daughter, and when we got home, he put me back in the room. Away. From everyone.

"Tomorrow, we will play some fun games, beta." He would say before tucking me in.

The next day, he would make me hold a gun and aim. Or maybe hold a bow and arrow and aim. Another day would be high rise jumping. Then sensing all the things around you. Pretty soon, I had forgotten my name was Laila. 

Except for that one day. That one day, someone on the streets called me Laila. That day, Papa killed that man. That day, Papa went to jail. That day, I was sent to an orphange. That day, I ran away. That day, I got shot. That night, someone took me in to heal me. That night, I met Ally. 

Ally's POV

Zara fainted again. I slid down the wall and waited as my best friend was surrounded by doctors trying to save her life. All of that night's memories came back. A eight year old Zara on my doorstep, bloody and fragile. Her limp body just barely breathing. Her small cries for help.

So long ago that was. 

I jump up as I remember the news that day. Someone named Laila Farooqi died. A young girl. Age: eight. I remember Simon mentioning how sad that was. How sad it was that Zara Khan died on this day as well. Same day. Zara Khan. Laila Farooqi. Two different girls dying on the same day. But that one girl with both those names. Both trained by The Kaurs. I run out the hospital doors with Paul calling behind me. I look around and spot the library around the corner. I dash in and find a  computer and research the Kaurs. Kaur translates to Princess in the sikh areas of India. Laila having different meanings: night, dark haired beauty, night angel. Somewhat close to that..

Was Zara a Princess? And when she died, did they take in Laila? And name her Zara instead?

I look up Zara Khan and find her DOB and pic. She was born in the year of 1985... Our Zara wasn't born until 1990s.. She died in the year 2004. At the age of 19. I look at her picture and gasp. They look exactly the same! That's why... So the body Zayn buried.. That was Zara Khan! They both got shot on the same day! But society did not know about Zara Khan. Laila Farooqi was the missing girl they were searching for. The Kaurs... This all makes sense now! I run out the library and back to the hospital as fast as I could.
