Chasing Ari (a 1D Fanfic )

Chapter 6

***Niall's POV***

I must have looked like a deer caught in head lights. I mean, who wouldn't be after randomly being hit in the face by a pillow. I sat frozen for a solid ten seconds before Zayn pulled me to cover from the flying cushions.

Zayn chuckled. "You okay, mate?" he asked once we were safe behind the couch.

"Uhh, what just happened?" I questioned peeking over the top of the sofa, barely dodging a pillow.

"They've declared war." Zayn stated simply, as if this was a normal occurance.

"Dpes this happen often?" I leaned my back agains the back of the couch.

Zayn threw a pillow back at them, "Sadly, yes. All the time." Another smacked into his shoulder.

"I'm scared to ask who usually wins."

He scoffed, "Usually, them." A pillow landed infront of my legs. Without thinking, I threw it back over the couch. I heard a muffled 'Ouch.' I must have hit one of them.

Bad move, this brought about a flurry of pillows to rain down on us. Where do they even find all these pillows?! 

After about ten or fifteen pillows, they must have ran out of ammo. I peeked over the couch and I could see the tops of thier heads bowed together as if disscussing a plan. They were probably trying to find something to lauch at us next. Me, not wanting to throw things at girls, had a idea.

I quickly stood up and help my hands up to show I came in peice. "Girls, I think I might have a better idea." I teased. I waited for their heads to pop up from behind the couch before continuing. "Why attack each other, when we can attack unsuspecting Harry?"

This caught thier attention. They both rose to their feet, in almost perfecet unision. They were like devilish twins. The kind that were able to get away with anything because thier cuteness made them seem innocent.

"What do you mean?" McKayla demanded.

"Well," I began to explain. "Zayn and I know the attaks are coming, so we can hide and respond. Harry, ont he other hand, wouldn't even know what hit him. He'd be to schocked to even take cover." I gave them a smirk and a shrug to sell my plan, as if it was fool proof.

"Niall might be on to something, Kay." Arianna said touching McKayla's arm. "But we cant throw pillows at him." She turned to face us. "They're too big and too out of the ordinary. Someone will ask questions if we are walking arounda house parrty with a bunch of  pillows. We need something else."

"Marshmallows," this time it was Zayn that spoke up. He had stood up and was repeatedly thrwoing a pillow into the air. "You're right, Ari. Pillows are too big, and we can only carry at most two or three at a time. Marshmallows, are tiny, and easily concealed. No one is going to ask questions if we walk around with the marshmallows in cups. "

"Then, its a plan. I'll strom the kitchen for the materials. we need to find out Harry's exact position, also. We can't strom the castle blind."  McKayla balled one hand into a fist and hit her fist into the palm of her other hand. She sure does take some things seriously.

"We'll split up," Zayn suggested. "I'll go with you McKayla. Niall and Ari," he winked at me, "Can go spy on Harry." I'm pretty sure this fit his little plan perfectly. I hope karma will catch up with Zayn after tonight.

"The target." McKayla corrected.

"Right, the 'target'." Zayn put air quotes around the last word, laughing her seriousness off.

"Okay, we'll meet back in the front room in five minutes. Don't be too obvious." McKayla stated, already in stride towards the door. Zayn followed quitely behind, leaving Arianna and I in the room.

"Ready?" She asked.  I nodded yes.  She walked towards the door and gestured with one finger for me to follow.
