" I was sitting in the living room, munching on carrots with Louis napping beside me and watching some tv, when the front door blew open and Niall came in yelling.
Harry flew in behind him, slamming the door and locking it before chasing after Niall who had thrown himself on me and was half crazed.
He kept repeating that he was half elf and that Zayn was dead, which I knew, or thought I knew, was a load of rubbish.
Zayn was very much alive, and wherever Niall had got the idea he was half elf I had no idea.
I smoothed his hair and looked at an exasperated Harry who had arrived and plopped down next to me.
' Liam, we have a lot of things we need to discuss, but we need to get Nialler here back in his gears again.' He told me dryly.
' I'll say.' I huffed as Harry shook Niall as hard as he could and whispered something in his ear that quieted him down a bit.
By that time Louis had awakened and was staring at us in bewilderment.
Niall hopped on Louis's back when he stood up and clung to him all the way up the stairs.
I whispered to Harry, ' I knew he was kinda insecure, but not this bad!'
Harry whispered back, ' It's worse then you think, Li.'
I was extremely worried by the time we reached Niall and Louis's bedroom, and when Niall slid off Louis back, leaving him to grimace and rub it as Niall was not exactly a lightweight, I was ready to try to talk him back to his senses.
Harry, however, had other ideas.
' Now before you both go of on Niall here, let me do some explaining, as he just had the biggest shock in his life.' He said, sitting on the bed next to Niall, who had his head in his hands, and rubbing his shoulders.
' I have know about this for a while now, but kept it secret form the rest of you for your safety.'
' Like you always do.' Louis muttered.
Harry gave him a withering look, then continued.
' Niall is indeed half Sports Elf, which I will explain in a moment of you let me.' he said, as Louis and I simultaneously started to open out mouths to rebut this piece of news.
Then he told us the most amazing and idiotic story I have ever heard.
He claimed that there was more then one world out there, and that he had proof of all sorts of creatures that talked and acted human like.
Louis and I did not believe a word he said, but were going to take both of them to the doctors for this until a large dog like creature stepped out form behind the closet door.
Louis and I gaped at it, and I nearly passed out when it spoke.
' Believe him now?'
Niall unfortunately, did pass out just then, and the dog beast was under his body in a flash and gently helped hoist him back up on the bed, where Louis perched and held his sweaty head in his lap, tenderly stroking his hair off his forehead.
The dog thing then said it's name was Flamelicker, and was Niall's guardian along with Harry since Zayn was killed.
' About that.' I said, turning to Harry, who fidgeted under my gaze. ' We all know Zayn is still very much alive.'
Harry squirmed, and then said in a low voice, 'No, that is a stand in when he was killed defending us from an onslaught of attackers.'
He then hastly told us about something to do with ragers and other beings wanting our Nialler for something, but I let it go in one ear and out the other.
Zayn, dead?
Suddenly I grabbed Harry by the front of his shirt and dragged him to me, till his face was almost touching mine.
' If this is so, why did you never tell us?' I growled, furious.
Harry gulped, and then re-explained some things I had missed, about how the more who knew the worse it got, till he was blubbering and pulling at my hands to let him go.
I slowly let him go, and then asked coldly how we know he is telling the truth about Niall.
Harry flicked out a knife, shooting me a nervous glance as he did so.
' If you touch him.' Louis warned before I even got my mouth open.
I was sure that Harry was somehow managed to fool us all with some sort of plot, but the tears in his eyes stopped me cold.
' Please.' He croaked, ' We could all die because of this. You gotta believe me!'
I slowly nodded. ' Okay, Haz, if say I do believe you, what will making Niall bleed prove?'
' Not him, me.' he said and then before we could stop him, he had plunged the blade under his arm.
He sank to the floor, moaning loudly in agony as he tried to control his pain reaction.
Louis screamed and Niall was suddenly up and kneeling by Harry's side.
He spit into the wound, and then ran his fingers over the whole area.
The injury healed, and Harry stopped whimpering from pain.
' Okay.' Louis said. ' I believe you.'
I nodded in agreement, and then we discussed what to do next.
So I wound up here because I got caught, and everyone knows about Niall and the rest now; they tortured it out of me." Liam said, a tear in his eye.
Dani smiled at him.
" They would understand." She told him.
" I certainly hope so." He said quietly.
" Because the other thing they were never supposed to know, is that we are rescuing you, and now the element of surprise is gone.
You are very important to Harry-"
That was the last thing Dani heard, as she fainted.
