Chapter 10 My Human

Niall's Pov

"Who's your friend here?" The human asked and I turned to meet his sea gold gaze.

"This is Niall," Lottie motioned to me. "He just...moved here!"

I waved to them slightly, giving them a small smile.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Zayn," the dark haired man, Zayn, smiled as well, offering his hand.

I glanced at his hand, remembering I had to grab it. It was what the humans called a 'hand shake'. So I took it hesitatantly and shook it, trying to not react at the warm tingles it sent through my hand from the contact.

The other man held out his hand as well. "I'm Liam. Where did you moved from?"

Shaking his hand did not feel the same when I shook Zayn's hand. Harry must be right, that this human was my soulmate, but I had to see his wrist.

I cleared my throat nervously as Harry and Lottie looked to me. I couldn't exactly say the Atlantic Ocean.

Instead I answered. "Uhm, Ireland."

It was the only place my uncle really loved and talked about all the time before the kingdom had fallen and most of us fled to the pacific but my uncle didn't make it.

The humans both looked at me in surprise.

"Well, it shows in your accent," Liam said, brows high in shock. "What made you move back and how do you know Lottie and Harry?"

The two humans sat down and lottie and Harry followed them by pulling up a chair. Lottie nudged me to sit next to her which also put me next to Zayn who smiled at me as I sat down cautiously and Lottie sat in the chair she pulled up.

"Well, actually," Lottie started. "Niall went to highschool with us but then he had to move back to Ireland for a few years for family...stuff and now, he's back and looking for a flat, I believe right?"

I searched my brain to remember what a flat was. It took a second and I jumped as it clicked.

"Uhm, yeah! Everything is good now so I'm looking and exploring," I said, unsure but Lottie and Harry gave me a slight nod in reassurance. The humans didn't think on it twice.

"Alright well, any friend of Harry's or Lottie's, is a friend of ours," Liam smiled. "And if you're still looking for a place to stay, I think Louis won't mind if you come over and stay for a bit?"

Liam looked to Zayn who never took his eyes off of me. But he nodded, seemingly noticing that Liam was looking at him.

"Yeah, definitely. We wouldn't mind," Zayn agreed, eyes like an eagle on mine. I squirmed a bit beneath his gaze, narrowing my eyes at him. Thats when I spotted it.

An icy blue curl around his wrist, beneath the table in his lap, glowing lightly. It was just right there, out in the open and I had to try and conceal my excitement. Obviously, I didn't have my mark anymore because I was out on the surface but his still glowed in a light pulse. Harry was certainly right. There it was, proof that this human was indeed my human.

I looked up to my human only to see him smirk.

"Well, then I'll just ask Louis," Liam asked, a smile on his face along with an unfamiliar expression on his face.

As he took out a similar brick thing that Lottie has too, Harry spoke up. "Speaking of Louis, where is he?"

"Hes busy dealing with Eleanor. He was gonna join us, but she dragged him to do something else," Zayn answered.

"Yeah but I'll text him to meet us at Nando's so you can meet him, Niall," Liam tapped at the brick with a concentrated look on his face, glancing at me as he said my name. I gave him a nod in response. Zayn sat up a bit and slightly leaned towards me.
