☾HIDING THE SECRETS☽
ZAYN

She wasn't scared. She was angry. We sat on the kitchen table-notes scattered all over it. Her mouth was closed tightly and her eyes were straight at me. They were questioning me.

"How long?"

"A week."

"Zayn!" Perrie squealed and stood up from her chair. I looked down, not even daring to look at her right now.

There was about 6 notes on the table, each saying something different yet so threatening:

"You've made it. For now.
-d."

"Everything can change in a second, just watch your backs.
-d."

"Don't underestimate me. I do terrible things back and forth.
-d."

"Intimidation is man's greatest fear.
-d."

"You're always prepared for the worst.
-d."

"Tick tock tick tock."
-d."

"Time's up.
-d."

Perrie watched in horror as I read them all. She sat back down, realizes what it meant.

"He's messi-"

"He's not messing with us Zayn! Demolio will never stop! That's just how he is. I don't know."

"Don't know what?"

"I don't know if we live."

I gave her a stern look.

"We don't get to live forever."

That night, we decided to go to bed and just not worry . It was stressful enough to think what Demolio is know capable of doing. He can do anything any moment.

Perrie was already fast asleep, cuddled to her pillow. I closed my eyes for a while until I heard a creaking noise. I instantly opened them. When I open them, I found my window right next to my bed open, and one more letter on my night stand.

UNKNOWN

The crime scene investigators come rushing through the house. Their equipment was getting quickly set up. When I look outside, I see people trying to look inside. Most of them are just pressed against the yellow tape.

The floor started creaking after everyone started to rush in and start the investigation. As I walk in, I'm greated by my colleagues and them taking pictures of the scene. The detectives are looking around doing their investigation.

"What do you have on this case?"

"Two bodies, a male and a female."

I nod, and head to where the bodies were found.

They were in bed, looking like a normal couple sleeping. Just dramatically pale and well, dead.

The female's eyes were wide open, yet the color from her eyes strained out after her death. The male's eyes were closed and his mouth hung open.

"They seemed to be about in their early twenties."

I nodded my head to the paper on the night stand.

"What is that?"

"We're confirming it as a death threat."

I take out the notepad.

"Read it to me and put it as evidence."

❝the incapability to hide a secret is a failure in a empire. The consequences are for those who are to blame. You get what you deserve. It's signed by D. ❞

I didn't know what to say. The bodies were being examined by cameras at this point.

"What about the identification of the bodies?"

"Perrie Edwards and Zayn Malik."
