Z/N aka Zenpai's Notes: the video in the media is the trailer I made for this book.(^.^) hope y'all like it.

The sun was slowly rising from the horizon, signalling all the living creatures in Fantasy World that it's time to get up. All except for Harry, who stayed up all night, fighting the urge to fall asleep in hopes that Louis would return to him.

But he didn't.

He had dark circles under his eyes, dried up tear stains on his face, over all, he looked like an absolutely mess without the shape shifter beside him.

His bed felt empty without Louis' presence. Just like his heart. He missed the older lad's cheeky-sometimes a tad sexual- personality. He missed having him as the big spoon while they lay down on Harry's bed, whispering sweet nothings to each other until they eventually fall asleep. He especially missed seeing the boy's striking blue orbs every morning when he woke up after him.

Though feeling as if he'd pass out at any moment now, Harry pushed himself out of bed, trudging his way to the kitchen as he used the walls for support.

As he entered, two worried looking pixies are by his side in a second, asking why he looked like he'd been crying his eyes out all night.

"h-he..left." The boy managed to stutter out, now leaning against Liam to bury his face in the crook of his neck while silent tears fell from his face to Liam's shirt. The pixie didn't mind at all, letting the witch boy sob into him.

Niall rubs the younger boy's back soothingly, saying things like 'it's okay' and 'I'm sure he'll come back'.

Unfortunately, their moment had to be broken up by a door slamming open, the sound causing the three to jump and turn to see who had intruded in the curly haired boy's cottage.

At the entrance of the kitchen stood the one and only evil warlock himself. Simon.

"I've came to take back what's mine." He states in a serious tone, glare fixed on the witch boy. "I should've known you had him under your control. What awful things have you made him do? Steal from the farmer's market? Do all your dirty work? What?" He demanded harshly.

Why would he think of me as someone who would want to cause wrong? Harry questioned himself.

Was it because I'm a witch? A creature who, supposedly, only seeks the pain of others for their own benefit and entertainment?

That's not Harry. Never was. Never is. Never will be.

"I'd never let him do anything of the sort!" Shouted Harry, his sleepiness instantly replaced with anger. "Unlike the horrible being you are, I actually took care of him! I am not like you!"

"Unbelievable.." Simon uttered lowly. He'd never met a witch who treated their slave as an equal to them, much more meet a witch who didn't even do evil at all. "You're out of your mind."

"Me?" Scoffed the witch boy. "You're the one torturing innocent shape shifters and making them do as you command!"

"Because that's what I do! That's what us warlocks and witches do!"

"Except me." Harry said sternly. He had to stay calm. Fighting never solved anything.

"Alright then. I guess I'll have to kill you, too."

"Wait-what?!"

Before any of them could react, Simon used one of his spells to knock them all out, a triumphant smile on his face.

"But not before I get that stupid shape shifter."

Zayn, Jay and James had just finished speaking with a mermaid named Lou at the rainbow lake, saying she had seen a glimpse of a cat sprint by from the bushes while she was watching her young daughter, Lux, play with Theo, her pixie friend on the surface.

While the three aimlessly walk around, in hopes of finding someone who would know the whereabouts of a missing shape shifter, Zayn suddenly bumps into someone with blonde hair and wings. Someone he wasn't very fond of, at all.

"Taylor? What the hell?"

"Watch it dumbas-Zayn?" She was shocked to find the wizard boy right in front of her. After he left Simon and his job because of what he'd done, she thought she would never hear from him again. Well, guess she was wrong about that.

"What are you doing here with a--" her words were cut short when her eyes land on the woman with cat ears and tail that swayed freely behind her. "You found another?! Geez, Zayn. You didn't have to leave in order for you to impress Simon-"

"Ugh, I DIDN'T!! This is Louis' mother and a friend of hers!" Zayn gestured to the two adults. "We're looking for him, actually. So if you know where he could be, tell me at once."

Taylor cackled evilly. "Like I would ever tell you. That boy must be dead by now."

A gasp escaped Jay's mouth. "No..he can't be." Zayn glared at the fairy, not pleased with the information she's giving out. "Look, just leave us alone, okay? You're not of much help in the first place."

Taylor scoffed, rolling her eyes before saying, "if you wanna at least know where he's been, I found him staying at a cottage with a witch. They locked me up though, don't remember how, but I managed to escape and tell Simon. The old man left to go there an hour ago, that's pretty much all I know."

"Tell us where!" Zayn demanded.

"You're just wasting your time-" Taylor didn't get to finish what she was about to say when a hand came contact to her cheek. Hard. "Ow!"

Jay had just slapped her.

"Don't you dare finish that sentence!"

Zayn was shocked at her sudden action, turning to James, only to find that the man wasn't surprised to see Jay act out like that.

"Now, tell us where that cottage is before I claw your petty little face." She threatened the fairy by revealing her sharp cat claws.

"Ergh, fine!"

------

"Is this the right one?" James asked, his question directed to the fairy who struggled in Zayn's grip.

"Yes! Now let me go!" Taylor rubbed her arm once the wizard released his grip on her, then flew off.

The first thing the trio noticed was the door being wide open, like someone had forcefully barged in. Which is the type of person Simon would be.

"He was here." Muttered Zayn, following the two adults inside the cottage and checked every room for any signs of Louis.

"Louis! Are you here?!" A shuffling sound came from under the couch, but instead of a shape shifter coming out, a furry white head with long ears hopped out, eyeing the three strangers curiously.

"Who the hell are you people?!" Georgia Rose asked, but they obviously couldn't understand her. "Livi! Diana! We've got intruders!"

In a matter of seconds, the owl and peacock come rushing to Georgia's side. "Are they here to get us, too?!" Diana squawked.

"Not on my watch." Olivia says angrily, lifting herself from the ground then started to attack the raven haired lad.

"Aahh!!! No! Stop!! We aren't going to hurt you!" Zayn tried his best not to harm the angry owl while she messed with his hair, disheveling it with her claws. "Please, stop!" Out of nowhere, sparkles flew from Zayn's palm that was aimed directly at Olivia, accidentally hitting the bird. She wasn't fazed at all but when she opened her mouth to say something, the wizard was surprised to actually hear a voice.

"Who do y'all think you are barging into this cottage without permission like you damn own the place! Are you here to take us, too? Well tough luck cause I ain't giving in without a fight! Come here dude with a bird's nest on his head! Fight me! I dare ya!"

James and Jay were left speechless as Georgia and Diana stare at their best friend in disbelief.

They could understand her..

"Woah, woah, calm down birdy!" Zayn tried his best to calm the yammering owl down. "Just let us explain."

"Waaait, you can understand me?!"

The wizard nodded as a response, while also combing his hair back to try and get it back to it's usual quiff.

"Sorry, my powers would sometimes act up at random times. And because I was curious to know what you and your friends were talking about, I guess that's how you ended up speaking like us, so we would understand you."

"Yeah yeah cut the crap, why are you here?" Olivia sassily says.

"We're looking for a shape shifter named Louis-"

"Sorry to tell ya that he isn't here, but that old son of a b-"

"Livi! Language!" Diana scolded.

The owl sighed but nodded. " as I was saying, that--that old man came waltzing in here and said he was looking for Louis, too."

Jay's ears perked up at the mention of her son's name.

"But he left last night, said that it'd be best if he wasn't here so the old man wouldn't harm Harry."

At this point, so many questions were flooding Zayn's thoughts. Like who is this Harry? Why would he care for his safety when he was never the type to care for someone?

"He was wrong, though. Because the warlock knocked our Harry out, along with his guardian pixies, and took them away. We wanted to follow but he left by magic, just disappeared in a split second."

The wizard knew this wasn't good. And even though he hadn't met this Harry fellow yet, he needed to help him out.

"Listen, owl-"

"It's Olivia."

"Okay, Olivia. We'll help you get your, um, Harry back. But promise you'll help us find Louis."

"We'll do it!"

"Say yes, Livi!"

Diana and Georgia agreed.

"Deal."

Zayn turned to James and Jay, a smile of hope on his face. "We'll find him. But we need to head out, time is gold, we don't know what Simon is doing with Harry and his friends right now, but I'm certain it's not good. So we gotta hurry."

The three animals nodded, following Zayn, James and Jay outside. "We'll explain more about how Louis is close with Harry."

Harry...could it be? Jay thought in her mind. She nodded to the owl while adding, "please, tell us more about Harry."

That's how the six of them set off, Olivia explaining all that she knew about the witch boy while Jay was getting more convinced that she knew this Harry. The one she vowed to take care of, a long time ago.

------

His feet and muscles ached, and sweat was trickling down the shape shifter's forehead. He didn't know how long he was running but it felt like hours!

He already regretted his decision.

Maybe leaving them behind was a bad idea.

There was a chance that Simon would hurt them, but Harry convinced him last time with a lie. Or what if he didn't this time?

A sudden look of panic overcame Louis' tired expression, the thought of Harry fighting back against the strongest warlock in Fantasy World made his heart race.

Okay, now he really regrets his decision.

"Fuck."

He needed to go back.

Even if Simon would've taken him back, at least he put up a fight. He could've saved Harry from the warlock's evil clutches.

"I need to go back." He states, pushing himself off the ground then turning into cat form once again.

"Back to my Home."

Soooo much is going on!

Any advice for Louis?
