School started the next week and everything was normal. Killian was still around training Cole anytime he returned from school. Of course Cole didn't want any of the training but Benjamin persuaded him to go ahead.
Nothing has been said about Jake and Kate and so far Kate hasn't caused any trouble, maybe because there hasn't been any reason to.
"So I'll see you later right?" I asked Zayn as we walked hand in hand out of the campus gate. We talked about him meeting my parents a few days ago and today was the day we decided on.
Dad promised to make lunch for everyone while mum luckily didn't have to go to work that day.
"Yep" Zayn replies kissing the top of my head as his hand leaves mine to part ways.
"Zayn came in through the front door, and not through my window" Pointing my index finger at him Zayn laughs nodding. "I'm serious" He laughs harder.
"Yes ma'am" And with that I watch as he walks to where his black Chevrolet was parked. I see Kai walking towards me with a file in her grasp.
"What's that?" She looks down at her hand at my question.
Kai shrugs "Miss Lilian asked me to help her carry it"
"And where's Miss Lilian?" We both bit our bottom lip trying to hold in our laughter's
"I have no idea" We both burst out laughing. Shaking my head I crossed my arm around hers as we walked together towards our roots to our houses.
"She must be looking for you" I comment as we both laugh at how mischievous Kai was being.
Walking down the stairs dressed in a pair of jeans and white crop shirt, I sighted dad placing a large tray of cooked chicken on the dining table. He looked up and gave me a warm smile.
"Hey" Looking up at his tone I felt my chest fill with warmth. The effort he was making in making sure the lunch was perfect before I came back to the dining room made my heart swell.
"Thanks for all this dad" Grabbing a glass plate I started pouring some salad onto it when mom appeared.
"Your boyfriend is running late" She says as she reaches for the chicken, making dad lightly slap her hand away.
"That's not true" I defend looking up at the clock to see that Zayn was indeed late. I didn't even notice because I was too busy getting ready.
"It doesn't matter, we ain't rushing" Dad places a plate of sliced cucumbers on the table making sure to position everything perfectly.
"I'll go call him" I give my mother a reassuring smile and walk out the entrance door. Taking the phone from my pocket I dial Zayn's number immediately.
"Hey angel" There was the sound of shuffling.
"Hey are you okay, you're running late" I leaned against the wall holding the phone away from my ear as the sounds became much noisier.
"Yeah I'm so sorry, had to stop at a market square to get my future in-laws something" Hearing that makes a wide smile to spread across my face.
"You didn't have to but thank you" I could hear his smile through the phone which only made me laugh.
"I'll be there soon" I reply with a hum before ending the call. Standing straight I turn around heading towards the house again.
"Is he still coming?" Dad asks as I approach the dining table once again.
"Yep" As dad hands me a cup filled with hot chocolate I sit down taking a drink. "He'll be here soon, he stopped on the way to get some stuff" My mum and father nodded their heads giving me small smiles as they sit and wait. My eyes trail to the flowers on the table inside a vase. They were the same flowers mum bought from our old neighborhood. I shake my head scolding myself from doubting her loyalty to my dad. But my mind couldn't stop wondering why she had to go that far to buy them.
"How's it been going with the investigation?" Dad asks and I find myself listening attentively.
Mum grins "Good so far, tonight we're gonna be using our new weapon" My brows raise wondering what she meant by new weapon, but before I could ask the knock on the door stopped me.
"That must be Zendaya" Dad grins as he's stood up and I follow him to welcome Zayn. My heart beats faster as we drew close to the door for some reason.
Dad abruptly pulls the door open as I take in his appearance.
The hoodie and ripped jeans, paired with combat boots, made him look rugged. His hair was styled nicely and his piercing stare made my legs weak.
"Hello" He greets dad politely, making me smile widely.
My dad gives him a welcoming smile gesturing for him to come in "Hello Zayn"
Zayn walks in, stopping abruptly as the shopping bag in his grasp drops to the floor. My smile fades watching as his face twists.
"Fucking shit!" He hisses, nearly falling on the floor.
"Zayn!" My brain couldn't register anything but my legs ran faster than I had ever caught Zayn before he could hit the floor, but his buff physique was no match for me as I fell with him, his head on my lap.
Mum runs to the scene with a concerned frown. She kneels beside me checking Zayn over as I try to get him to breathe calmly and speak.
"What's wrong?" Dad questions crouching down beside my mum and helping her to check over the male.
Zayn is pale as he coughs out blood making a scream to break free from me.
With my hands shaking, heart beating erratically, breathing haggard, I grab him and place him gently on the ground, resting my forehead against his as he tries to regain his breath.
"D-Diana" I gasp drawing closer trying to hear closely "Pack h-house now" He manages to cough out as I quickly help him up ignoring dad and mums yells for me to take him into the house.
"What are you doing! Take him inside!" Mum shouts but I ignore her and instead focus on getting Zayn out of the house.
"Diana!" I don't stop at the sound of my name from dad "he needs a hospital" I shake my head as tears stream down my cheeks, and walk out of the house with Zayns arm around my shoulder. I manage to reach the car pulling Zayn and then throw him into the passenger seat.
Once I got in the car I sped off, not caring if dad and mum were calling after me.
I rush out of the car running to the entrance to meet Jake and Justin laughing together but their laughter dies on seeing me sprinting to them with tears streaming down my face.
"Zayn- He- he's..."
"What happened to Zayn!" Justin demands holding up my shoulder. I cried harder not being able to get anything out but I was thankful when Jake ran to Zayn's car.
"Oh God!" I hear Jake exclaim pulling Zayn out, thankfully he was still conscious. Immediately after Cole and the others came running out.
"Carry him inside" Olivia commands as Jake carries Zayn Inside.
"What's happening?" Killian asks as Lucas shoves everything on the table to the floor and Zayn Is placed on the dining table.
"Diana what happened?" Benjamin asks me.
"I don't know, he just fell suddenly" I explained sobbing.
Zayn's low voice catches our attention as he whispers "Wolfs bane" He whispers but loud enough for us to hear.
"Shit!" Killian curses as the others gasp with shocked expressions.
"What's wolfs bane?!" I shouted out of anger not liking how I had no clue what was happening.
"I'll do it" Noah says, pushing himself forward and kneeling by Zayn's side. I watch as he takes Zayn's hand into his. Red veins marks surround Noah's hand as he winches, the same red veins decorate Zayn's hand as their grip on each other tightens.
"What's happening?" I ask the next person by my side; Kate.
"Noah is taking Zayn's pain"
