"We'll leave you guys here. We'll wait outside." Elsa said, and walked away with the others.

"I guess so... I'm confused. Should I believe my instincts or you? My instincts tell me to hate him because he's never been the dad I wanted, but you tell me to-..."

"I can't help you in your instincts. You must learn to control it. No one else can help you there." He advised.

"But now what should I do?"

"As of now, I'd say you go with your instincts. I won't stop you." He replied. "And please don't do anything stupid like this again."

"That I can't stop. I got used to that habit. Here, look at my hand." I showed him my other hand.

Niall's POV :

I took her hand, and observed the number of blade marks. They were countless. Some were really deep, some were just minor. But most of them were DEEP AND DARK.  I gently took her hand, and kissed on the marks.

"Don't do it again...for your own good, and MINE too." I said.

At that moment, the tears streamed down my face. I watched him carefully observe my marks and kiss them. It's like he set a seal on them.

"Will you do this again?" He asked.

"NEVER." I said, wiping my tears. "I will not." 

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"Elsa...describe the cat." Louis asked.

"It was a black cat, and big green eyes."

"Green? I see. And what about the dog?" He asked again.

"I didn't see that. It ran away when the cat ran into my house.But one thing about that dog was-.."

"Are you alright now?" Liam asked as me and Niall walk out into the deserted corridor.

"Yeah. I am." I said. "What were you guys talking about?"

"That cat and dog that fought outside Elsa's house." Louis said.

"Even my house." Zayn interrupted.

"Yeah yeah whatever. She said the cat was a huge black one with big green eyes, and the dog-.."

"I didn't see it. But it was huge for its size. It looked like it had a mane." Elsa said.

"Dogs have manes Elsa? Since when?"  Louis laughed and asked.

"What I meant to say it that it had a lot of hair towards that area, near its neck. It actually looked like a mane. I know dogs Louis." She protested, sticking her tongue out. 

"What breed can it be? A Siberian Husky?" Liam asked doubted.

"A Siberian Husky is most commonly used as pets if I'm not wrong. What would a dog like that do in the middle of night outside my house?" Elsa said.

"Then...German Shepherd?" Louis asked.

"Whatever it was...it was a huge dog." She said. "Guys, enough of this. Why are you guys so INTO this? It's ONLY some random dog and a cat."

"Yeah, and THAT random dog and cat were outside my house too. The same ones." Zayn countered.

"How are you so sure about that Zayn? Did you go ask them?" I asked.
