Zayn had woken up early that morning, hoping to get to Niall before Liam and Lea woke up.

He crept over to Nialls door turning the knob and rolling his eyes. Didnt Niall know to lock his doors? Someone could've killed him!

He pushed open the door slowly, peeking his head around. Liam was on the floor, asleep and Niall was in the bed, also asleep.

"Niall!" Zayn harshly whispered, trying to waken the boy. Niall didnt stir.

Zayn called a couple more times out to his boy, but he didn't even flinch.

Sighing, Zayn quietly walked over to a sleeping Niall. He took a moment to relish Niall's peaceful expression.

His eyes weren't glaring in anger, filled with tears in sadness, nor crinkling in happiness. They were just closed in slumber.

Zayn was feeling quite generous this morning, so he didnt resort to slapping nor splashing water in Niall's face to wake him.

"Hey, cookie," Zayn cooed, gently reaching out and caressing Niall's arm (he thought Niall's cheek was a little too far), "It's time to get up."

Niall let out a heavy sigh in his sleep, and swatted at his arm.

"Ni," Zayn lightly chuckled, "Come on."

Niall mumbled something incoherent and turned in his body.

Zayn frowned, deciding to wake Niall up another way.

He lightly started poking Niall with the pads of his fingers, tickling him.

"Oh my god, it looks like i really didnt clean out all the monsters!"Zayn gasped quietly, trailing his fingers across Niall's smooth skin and up to his neck.

Niall woke up instantly with his heart beating out of his chest, he was almost about to grab a pillow to defend himself but saw Zayn instead.

"Oh, hey." Niall greeted, his voice groggy from sleep.

"Hi." Zayn smiled down at the boy, watching as he rubbed his eyes.

"Are we going now?" Niall groaned, squinting up at Zayn.

"Well, yes, if you want to listen to the tape." Zayn spoke, waving the tape for Niall to see.

"I thought you said i wasnt-"

"No matter what i said," Zayn interrupted, shaking his head, "Are you coming or not?"

Niall glanced over at Liam, ripping the blanket from himself and tossing it over the sleeping boy.

"Yea, I'm coming."

A couple minutes later, both the boys were in Zayn's room, ready to listen.

"Are you gonna press play?" Niall quietly asked, leaning his head on his hand sleepily.

"Yea, I just-" Zayn cut himself off, sighing. He was trying to prepare himself for what he was about to hear.

He didn't know if he'd hear gunshots, his father pleading for help or ghouls feasting.

But he hoped for the best, just like Niall would.

"I dont know what the date is, but ive been
captive for four days now. I dont know where these people
have taken me, but i see a swamp of evil plants all around.
 Im beginning to think these kidnappers are women that
have known each other and plotted this for a while. They must
be working with some type of bigger cooperation, but i have no
idea what. Harry hypothesizes the brotherhood, a group that
would take our inventions and employ us. But, I can tell they
