"Malik is a biggest bastard on this planet, right behind Fear." Louis spits, gripping the arm rests on the metal chair.

I had began to conduct my interview, telling him that i knew he used to be a janitor.

"How did you go from being a janitor to a patient?" I ask, only staring at him and avoiding looking at other actions that were happening around us.

"Because Malik hates me," He seethes, glaring at the ground in front of him as if it were the people he was talking about, "And Fear loathes me."

"The bitch with tools would love to mutilate every damn person in here, and Malik lets it happen," Louis snorts, "No remorse in that man, absolutely none."

"Why don't they like you?" I inquire, mopping up his reactions and words to squeeze into my bucket of information. I plan on pouring the cold, hard truth all over Malik once i can piece everything together.

"I don't play into their little game like the rest of the dolts here, the only person with any sense is Avery." He says, his voice growing softer when mentioning Avery.

"What game are you taking about?"

Was i playing the game as well?

"Just pretending they don't know shit about what goes on here, everyone turned a blind eye to me once i became a patient. They suck Malik's dick so hard," He sighs, resentment in his voice, "Especially Violet."

Violet? Did i miss someone?

"I would never do that shit, but I'm sure Malik wanted me too. He was such a pervert, sometimes i swear he was into me." He shook his head, glaring at the ground.

I decide to not bring up violet and focus on the fact that Mr. Malik might be into men.

Maybe being a homosexual might not be that bad if its so common.

"You think Mr. Malik was a homosexual?" I press, hoping the answer was no. I'll be directly effected by this answer since I'm one of the only male staff.

Besides Harry, but i know hes already a homosexual.

"Indeed," Louis contorted his face, "He would touch my back and praise me for the simplest things, it was more than being friendly. One time, i got a necklace from him, but it was taken away as soon as i was thrown into this mad house."

"All i did was try to feed Julia and here i am," He says, slumped in his chair, "Thats what i get for being nice."

There's that name again...Julia...

"Im sorry this happened to you, Louis," I express, showing my sympathy in my voice and facials, "If its between you and I, i don't trust Mr. Malik or Dr. Fear either. I know there is something suspicious going on."

"No shit."

"And im going to put an end to it." I verbally declare, deciding that this place was just too awful to continue to run. Harry was right, this is a human rights crisis.

"Yea, good luck, mate. I'll see you again soon." Louis doubtfully shakes his head, patting the seat next to him again.

I feel bad for him, i really do. There's no possible way he's going to get out of the situation he's in right now, and honestly, that pisses me off.

Who the hell does Mr. Malik think he is?

"Niall?" A familiar voice calls out to me, making me freeze in my spot.

I've been caught.

"What're you doing down here? You need to go upstairs, i thought i told you to earlier." Alice frowns, walking over towards me and motioning for me to stand.

She looks over her shoulder and around her, before sighing.

"You're needed upstairs, some lightbulbs have gone out," She informs, and her tone slightly growing annoyed, "You would've known that if you were up there. Its not my job to make sure you're following the rules, Niall."

"I see, my apologies," I stutter, "Goodbye, Louis."

She looks over at Louis and only gives a small smile, to which he crosses his eyes and laughs.

"See you around, kid." He bids me farewell and goes back to staring at the rest of the ill patients.

"Please don't do this again, i know you know the rules." Alice drills, beginning to list them off for me as a refresher.

"I shall try my best." I smile, trying to lighten the conversation.

"No," She stops, "You will follow the rules, i don't want to see you getting hurt or ending up like Louis. Speaking of which, i saw you were conversing with him?"

"Indeed, i wanted to ask his opinion on Mr. Malik and Dr. Fear and why he was turned into a patient." I tell, keeping my head lowered since i was feeling shameful that i was caught.

"Oh I'm sure he had a mouthful to tell you about them," She chuckled and shook her head, "I hate to sound like Florence, but he got what was coming for him."

"Indeed, but trying to feed someone doesn't seem punishable by imprisonment." I push back, standing up for Louis.

She tilts her head with a pursed look on her face, "Ah, i may have heard only one part of the story then."

"What's your version?" I question, following her up the stairs.

"Its not for me to tell," She softly shrugs at my frown, "Coming from me, i'm sure to mess up critical details. Mr. Malik and Dr. Fear would know the story best."

She opens the door, revealing the perfectly lit upstairs hallway.

"Stay up here and do your work, ill be downstairs if you need me." Alice says, waving goodbye before making her way downstairs.

Well i guess its just me, myself and i...again.

The floor looked fairly white, walls were all one uniform color and the lights were naked without a speck of dust on them.

I guess i should return the Lobotomy book while i still have time, i don't want to risk forgetting it.

I walk to my room, grab the book, and make my way over to his office.

Another voice booms through the room, asserting dominance over Mr. Malik's eerie and calm voice.

Did we get another new worker?

My hands quiver as i bring them up to knock on the door, and my legs feel like jelly. Why is it that i get so nervous around him?

My knocking on the door interrupts the two, leaving silence as my greeting.

I push the door open and walk up the flight of stairs.

Mr. Malik is standing over his desk, both arms placed on the wood for support of his leaning body. Papers are scattered across his desk, and he looks as if he was out of breath.

He stares at me, not willing to greet me.

"Hello there," The man greets, turning around in his chair and interrupting the staring contest Zayn and i were having, "How are you doing this evening?"

"Well, thank you," I softly respond, giving him a small smile, "Yourself?"

"Quite swimmingly," He grins, watching as i shift awkwardly, "My apologies, allow me to introduce myself."

He clears his throat and stands up with his muscular arm outstretched. He had dark hickory eyes and warm brown hair, some tufts stick out of his buttoned white shirt.

"My name is Liam Fear, and you must be Niall Horan."

Hiii it me, im back :) i missed you all <3 <3 <3

Over break i listened to a song called The City by Skizzy mars and it made me hard core want to write a fan fic about Niall living in Tokyo with Zayn being a drug dealer but thats super basic. Im trying to think of plot ideas for it to post a one shot on my random book.

I also wanted to write one where Harry is like a 'reaper' someone from the supernatural that collects souls for their overlord or whatever, and be assigned to take Niall's soul but they fall in love :) i wanna kill someone (as per usual) and have Harry like pretend to be modern and Hip to get with Niall since Niall is super oblivious and will never fall into the traps Harry puts up for him. Idk yall just a thought

If you dudes have any requests for one shots, ill try to write them if you want!

Questions! :)

1) How do you feel about Louis and his backstory? What do you think is the other version?

2) DOCTOR FEAR IS HERE!! How do you like him? He's liam!

3) Thank god Alice was the one who caught Niall, but he might not be so lucky next time.... ;)
