"Ughh.... I'm tired...maya can you bring something to drink for us ?" Liam and Zayn just came back from work.

Harriet came out with two glasses of casu fruit juice and handed them.

"Maya is feeding Aiden" She said as Liam's eyes were searching for his beloved.

"Did you heard that ?" Liam asked.

Harriet got scared by the noise that was coming from far away, the woods.

"I'll go and check" Zayn was about to walk away.

"Wait...let me come with you" Liam insisted.
