*Faylinn's POV*

I was hidden behind some trees where Niall had told me to stay.

"Don't move from here Fay."He said grabbing me gently by my chin and forcing me to look into his eyes.

"I won't move."I said quietly pulling his hand away from my jaw and looking at the ground. He lifted my chin up and smiled weakly.

"Don't be like, that I'm coming right back."He said and I just looked at him. It took me by surprise when he kissed me but it was perfect. It was only short in kiss terms and when he pulled back I smiled at him.

"Don't you ever forget that Fay, ever."He said as he flew off to defend his friends. Then the fighting and he was thrown across the clearing at Harry then Clarissa was hurt. I couldn't stand it any longer. I flew from behind those trees with nothing but I knife I'd grabbed from the kitchen that was duller than dull. I dropped the knife before I even got to her, it was useless anyway.

"I won't let you do this to them!"I screeched wrapping an arm around her neck and lifting her up off the ground.

"You don't have the guts."She wheezed, but when she looked at me with those vibrant, cold purple eyes I suddenly had the guts. I squeezed as hard as I could until my arms began to shake and ache. When she had passed out I dropped her. I gathered some fairy dust from me and dumped it down her throat. I walked towards Niall, kneeled beside him and ran my hand down his face.

"Fay."He croaked smiling and I shushed him rubbing my fingers across a dirt streak on his cheek.

"Could I have some dust Niall?"I asked and he nodded rubbing his fingers together over my palm. I dumped his dust down her throat too and, just to be on the safe side, I hit her across the face with a rock to break her nose. I opened her bag to find my wand, what I guessed was Niall's wand, a couple of sweaters, a leather bag on a cord string, a bracelet with Louis written on it and a beautifully engraved lamp. All the magic Khyrah had performed was slowly failing. The dead vines crumbled to the ground and now everyone was stumbling towards me, tripping over everything as their legs had lost feeling in the brief time they’d spent in their cages.

"My lamp?"Zayn said hopefully pointing at the golden thing I cradled in my hands. I nodded handing it to him. His entire face lit up, his posture straightened and he overall just looked better. He handled it like it was the most precious thing ever cradling it almost like it was a baby. He stared at it for the longest time until he finally just hugged it against his chest silent tears rolling down his cheeks. Liam smiled at this and Clarissa did too.

"My arm hurts."She whimpered as Harry picked her up bridal style."No Harry, not like that."She pulled her legs out from his arms and wrapped them around his waist. She used her good arm to pull herself up and bury her face in his neck. He looked taken aback, but he wrapped his arms around her placing his hands on her lower back to support her. Niall stumbled towards me and I noticed his bent wing.

"Niall, you're hurt!"I exclaimed and he brushed me off.

"It's not that bad."I placed a hand on his shoulder and made him sit. I began to inspect his wing as gently as possible. I knew what I was going to have to do and it was going to hurt him. Part of me cared but part of me didn’t care at all, I just needed to make sure my Niall was better and able to fly with me again.

*Harry's POV*

It felt perfect to have Clarissa wrapped around me like this. I was worried about Niall though, his wing looked banged up. Faylinn ran her fingers gingerly up the side of his wing and then she grabbed it quickly snapping it back in place earning a painful groan from Niall.

"Sorry babe."She said kissing his cheek. He seemed to forgive her on the spot reaching out his arms for her. She grabbed his hands as if to pull him up but sooner than not ended up sitting in his lap. He smiled like he’d succeeded in his goal and he wrapped his arms securely around his waist.

"You sir, are much too bold."She straightened herself and wiggled around on his lap. I turned my head to see Zayn poof into his lamp.

"He's finally happy again and good thing too because I was starting to get real tired of his attitude."Liam said jokingly and I laughed.

"Let's get Louis."He picked up Zayn's lamp. We all began to walk towards the cottage and I twiddled my charm between my fingers. I didn't want to disturb Clarissa to put it back on so I just held it as we went to get Louis and go home.

*Louis' POV*

Where were they? We're they dead? Did Khyrah kill them? Oh, I really couldn't stand this.

"Louis, we're home and Faylinn has something special for you!"Harry said bursting through the door with Clarissa wrapped around his waist. Faylinn flew past him holding something in her hand. She hovered over me with a huge grin on her face. She tied something around my wrist and I gasped as my tail melted into two legs covered in the jeans I was wearing before. That's when I realised it was my bracelet she'd tied around my wrist.

"Thank you!"I screeched jumping up and hugging her.

"Get your hands off my woman Tomlinson!"Niall yelled, but I knew he was joking by the tone of his voice.

"OK let's get out of here!"Danielle said and Harry slipped his charm over his head. He shrunk down to his human size Clarissa still wrapped around him like a boa constrictor squeezing the life out of its prey. Danielle waved her hands around a couple times and we were standing in her living room. We were finally home.

"Dani, is that you?"A quiet voice said from the bathroom. I'd recognise that voice anywhere.

*Eleanor's POV*

I heard a thump.

"Dani, is that you?"I asked and I heard footsteps hurrying down the hallway.

"El!"Louis said suddenly standing in the doorway.

"Lou!"I screamed and he ran towards me kneeling down in front of the tub.

"I missed you so much."He said lovingly placing a hand on my cheek. I kissed him and let the tears roll down my cheeks.

"I thought I would never see you again."I said pressing his forehead against mine. He chuckled and pulled me out of the tub. He cradled me bridal style in his arms.

"Now if only your hair was red you could be Ariel and I'd be Prince Eric."I giggled and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"You two are so cute."A fairy girl said."Come on, we've got to get Clarissa to a hospital."

"I think we'll stay here."He said."Oh and Faylinn meet Eleanor, Eleanor meet Faylinn."I smiled and waved at her. She bolted down the hallway and I heard the door slam.

"That's Niall's new girl."Louis explained and I felt giddily happy.

"Tub with me Louis?"I asked and he nodded. We had a good long talk about Georgie and what she did too him. We also talked about what had just happened and I was under the belief that it made our relationship stronger than ever before.
