One By One (One Direction Fanfic)

Waking Up

*Niall's POV*

She was the most beautiful fairy girl I'd ever seen. She had big brown eyes and bright blonde hair that shone even though there was no sun. She looked at me and almost dropped the bowl she was carrying. She turned pale and blushed a pale pink.

"Hi."She squeaked out her wings quivering so I could tell she was nervous.

"Hey beautiful."I said and her cheeks turned bright red. She ran over to Zayn and changed out this bowl that was full of green liquid that was pouring from his arm. She dumped it down the sink and began to wash the bowl out.

"What happened?"I asked shifting my focus from her to Zayn.

"He let a poisonous snake bite him."Liam said sitting in a chair close to him tapping his foot and wringing his hands. He looked extremely worried and to be honest I was starting to feel that worry too.

"Is he going to be alright?"I asked then the girl spoke up.

"He should be."She said quietly."I caught it in time so it will all drain out but it doesn't always work no matter how fast you catch it. May I ask why he did what he did?"Liam looked at her and she took a step back. She looked frightened and began to rub her hands together.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked, it's not my business."She said quickly her wings losing some of their sparkle. It pained me to watch her do that, Liam was just upset about it all. It wasn't her fault that he was being like that.

"No, it's fine."He said."You know how I told you Zayn's a genie?"She nodded shuffling forward slightly."Well Khyrah took his lamp and now he's trying to kill himself in every way he could possibly think of."She gasped clapping her hand over her mouth. She shook her head and started to bawl.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."She said running over to Zayn and collapsing by his bedside.

"I never would've done it but she used magic. I couldn't resist! I'm so sorry."She cried gripping Zayn's limp hand between her two frail pale ones. I sat down beside her pulling her into my chest and rocking her back and forth.

"Shhh, what are you going on about?"I asked rubbing her back as she sobbed.

"It was me."She mumbled into my chest.

"Speak up love."Louis said from his position on the floor near a water bucket which he was using to keep his tail damp. I guess it made him more comfortable but whatever. She straightened up and wiped the tears from her eyes.

"I took his lamp."She said."I've been her slave for 6 years and I still refuse to do what she tells me to. She uses magic on me so I have to do what she wants and she made me steal a genie lamp. I'm guessing it was his."She looked up at Zayn and then at the floor."I never would've done it if she hadn't enchanted me."Her wings drooped and they'd lost all their sparkle. She stood up and walked to the other side of the room sitting a corner chair. She waited there like she was expecting us to yell and scream and hate her forever. Liam walked over to her and pulled her out of the chair. He hugged her before she could protest and said.

"I forgive you, so does everyone else and so does Zayn."She smiled weakly and her wings perked up a little."However, I think we all agree when I say we shouldn't tell Zayn until after he gets his lamp back if ever. He wouldn't handle it like he should in his condition."We all mumbled our agreement and she giggled. I already loved her, she was just so perfect. I didn’t even know her name.

"What's your name?"I asked and she giggled.

"My name's Faylinn."She said."What's yours?"

"I'm Niall."I said."I see we share something in common."I pointed to the pair of wings sticking out from her back. She giggled again.
