Dani sighed as she rode on her sleek black mare.
They had been riding for weeks under the leadership of Zayn Malik, back form the dead it seemed.
But he had changed.
They all knew it, and it caused Liam such grief that he had cried over it till Zayn had caught him at it and spanked him, saying that they had no time for foolishness; Niall's life was in danger.
After that, no one dared to cross him wrong, for fear they would get the same treatment.
How did they end up like this, you ask?
Well, let me tell you before we get on with the rescue.
Now, let me slip away before Zayn finds me and beats me for stopping the rescue ( some folks just don't realize the power a narrator has, I stopped the kidnappers too, but Zayn don't know that) and tell you about how they got here for a second.
You see, it all started when a certain Australian girl named Dani Cullen was kidnapped by her own family.
Now, you may be asking how that can be, well, her family was not just your normal mom and dad happy-little-family.
No.
They were secret underground magical and mythical creature agents, bent on capturing and enslaving all of our beloved fairy-tale and history-book creatures.
And they took any ordinary human that got in their way and sold them, too.
Now, Dani was not just any human girl either; a very rare, and special kind of elf had bonded with her, and that elf had fallen in love with a half elf, who belonged to a world famous boy band.
Those boys were not ordinary, either.
One was a rager, one was a half elf, and one had a father who was in the same business as Dani's parents and had a price on his head because of it.
His name was Harry Styles.
The elf's name was Sportsicus, and she was a Sports Elf, the only other one in the world to exist beside Sportacus.
The half-elf was Niall Horan, who's father had tampered with genetics with none other then a deceased Sports elf that Harry's father had killed.
The rager was Zayn Malik, whom everyone thought dead but had shown up when his special charge, Niall, had been kidnapped.
He refused to speak to either Harry, who had taken over being Niall's guardian in Zayn's absence, nor Dani, who was being rescued when Niall put his life on the line and got caught.
He only spoke to Liam and Louis, and his spies that came and went.
Harry had explained to Dani that this was not at all like the Zayn that they had know before, and he was sure once Niall was found he'd soften back up, but Dani wasn't sure.
Anyway, the story goes that Dani was too be killed, and Harry, of all people, had fallen in love with her.
So when the two Sports elves approached him and Niall for help, he agreed quickly.
At first he did not want Niall involved, but got persuaded otherwise.
When they gathered a small army of UnderLand and other planets and realms creatures and humans, they stormed the basement prison where Dani was and others were kept.
The race of dog-like creatures know as Muskonys were very valuable during this battle, but Niall was seized and carried off, after which Zayn made his appearance, after having been killed a year before in a battle to save Niall's life.
It seemed he knew he would need backup someday, and so had provided some sort of life-saving thing in case this ever happened.
So once he had rested, healed, and trained, he had came back, only to find that Harry, in his eyes, had irresponsibly left Niall to be captured, tortured, and killed.
So he had swept them all up on his horses and had started out, accompanied by the two elves, and Dani as she was Sportsie's working bond; ie, she was needed for the elf to live.
And for Harry's peace of mind.
Okay, I had better let the rescue commence, as Zayn's frozen eyes are looking blacker then normal.
Enjoy the ride, my beloved readers!
And especially one, my Sunshine. ;)
