"It's my fault" he whispered.
"It's my fault"
She faced him and cupped his cheeks.
"This is not your fault" she said.
"If I didn't book this boat..Or told my guards to come with us"
"Non of this is your fault Niall. How did you know the sea captain would overdose?"
"No one knows where we are Hannah" his voice cracked.
"We'll get through this. We still have a wedding to attend, don't we?" she said.

He smiled brokenly and nodded with glossy eyes. She smiled back sadly while her lips quivered and a tear rolled down her cheek. His eyes moved away for a split second and his eyebrows furrowed.

"Do you believe in miracles?" he blurted out.
"Ha?"
"We reached to an island" he said.
She looked forward and there it was. Land. There was a land in front of them.
"Miracle" she whispered.
Niall jumped down the board.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm pushing us toward there" he said and pushed the wooden board toward the island. It was hard but he managed to do it.

They stepped on the sand.
"We survived" she said not believing it.
"We still don't know where we are love"
"At least we are not worried that a shark would eat us"
"That is true" he took her hand and entered the island.

"So" Maura cleared her throat.
Liam was still traumatized by witnessing Maura and Calum kissing.
"The point of this meeting is" Calum said.
Liam gulped down. The image of them kissing was still in his head.
"Basically" Maura said.
"Well" Calum said.
"I won't tell him" Liam finished it off for them.

Maura and Calum sighed in relief.
"I just need time to erase the image from my head. So I suggest us not to be alone for a while. How about that?" Liam said.
"I agree" Calum said.
"I think that's a good idea" Maura agreed as well.
"Great. So if you excuse m-"

"Sir" A guard barged in.
"What?"
"We received a call from London"
"And?"
"The guards said that the King and the Queen went on a boat an hour ago but they have not returned yet. There is no sign of the boat either"

"WHAT?" Maura panicked.
"There was a storm somewhere near London. It was on the news" Calum muttered.
"No.. My son .. my son" Maura began crying.
"I will go to London. You stay here and continue to invest the whole guard Tomlinson situation" Liam ordered.
"Yes sir" The guard saluted and walked away.

"I will come as well" Maura said.
"It's for the best for you to stay here"
"He's my son. If he's your king he's my baby boy" she cried.
Liam sighed but nodded.
"I will come as well" Calum said.
All three of them walked toward a carriage.
"A carriage for the three of us?" Liam asked.
"It's better if we stay together" Calum said.

"Alright then" he said and they all sat in the carriage and moved off toward London.
"so much for staying away from each other" Liam muttered.
"What was that?" Calum asked.
"Nothing" He said.

The huge doors of the prison opened and the two women exited the place.
"Fresh air" Elizabeth breathed out.
"I still don't know how we got out" Josephine commented.
"I told you. He's our hero." Elizabeth said grinning.
"But why now? Late night?" Josephine asked.
"So no one suspects a thing"
"I really want to know who he is"
"Soon you'll find out"

Just in time a carriage stopped in front of them.
"Lady Elizabeth and Lady Josephine from now on you are our guests" the driver said.
"Who sent you?" Josephine asked feeling skeptical.
"Oh relax. He is the one who has sent the carriage" Elizabeth said.
"He? The He?"
"Yup. Now come on" Elizabeth said and sat in the carriage. Josephine shook her head and joined Elizabeth.

Liam, Maura, and Calum finally arrived to London. They exited the carriage and joined the rest of the guards.
"Tell me" Liam ordered.
"H-He told us to stay here and wait for them to c-come back. It took them so long so we told the owner of this place. H-he checked and there weren't in sight. He tried to talk to the captain through the walkie-talkie but he didn't respond" One of the guards sniffled.

"Why didn't you go with them?!" Liam asked madly.
"He said not to"
"You should've followed them with another boat!" Liam snapped.
"Sir we have sent three boats to search for them" The owner told Liam.
"Give us a boat as well" he said.
"Yes sir"
A boat was provided for the guards.

"You guys stay here and we will go and search for them"
"What? No. We will join you" Maura argued.
"It's for the best if you two stay behind" Liam said.
"No. My Son Is Out There" She raised her voice and walked toward the water.
"NIALL! NIALL!" She called and went in the water.
"MAURA YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO SWIM!" Calum called and went after her.

"NIALL" She screamed as a wave caused her to fall.
Calum grabbed her and pulled her back to the land.
"let me go! NIALL!"
"shh .. we'll find him" Calum said calmly as he nodded to Liam. Liam nodded back and sat in the boat with the rest of the guards to search for their king and queen.
"I want my son Calum" she cried into his chest.
"We'll find him" he whispered.

It's been almost half-an-hour since Niall and Hannah have been walking. Nothing was in their vision. The only thing was sand.
Suddenly Hannah felt dizzy and stumbled.
"What happened? Are you okay?" Niall panicked.
"I'm okay just felt a little dizzy for a seconf. I'm fine"
"Then why did you feel dizzy all the sudden?"

"Niall relax. It's because I haven't drank or eaten anything for so long. And I haven't slept at all" she said.
"oh" he said.
"Don't feel bad"
"How could I not feel bad? It's all my fault" he blamed himself again.

"Niall please don't blame yourself. This is not your fault"
"Then whose is it Hannah? I booked us a boat middle of the night. What was I thinking?"
"If you blame yourself one more time I am not talking to you anymore" she threatened.
"What?"

She shrugged and continued walking. He sighed and followed her.
"Alright. Alright. I won't blame myself anymore but don't you dare give me the silent treatment. I cannot survive a day without hearing your voice" he said and held her hand. She tried not to smile but failed.

"Are those people?" she asked suddenly.
"Miracle number two" he said.
They walked in a faster pace. Once they reached on of the men who was standing there held his gun toward them.
"FREEZE" He yelled.

Niall came to a halt and pushed Hannah behind him.
"Whoa. Whoa." Niall held his hand up in defense.
"Who are you and why are you here?" the man asked.
"I'm Niall Horan and this is my Wife. We were on a boat but it broke and flipped over. The storm took us here. We don't need much. Just some water to drink and a telephone" he explained.

"A storm took you here?" the man asked.
"We were in London on boat. The sea captain overdosed and passed away. Huge waves caused our boat to hit a rock and flip over" Hannah said from behind Niall.
"Yeah right" the man scoffed.
"We're telling the truth I promise" Niall said.
"Call Tony" The man told to his friend.

"Now. You two will go to the dungeon. There you will learn to tell the truth"
"Wha-"
"What is it?" Tony cut Niall off.
The man signaled Tony with his head. Tony faced Niall and Hannah. His eyes widened and he suddenly bowed.

"What the- What are you doing?" The man asked Tony.
"Move the damn gun down. I apologize your majesty. Henry doesn't watch the news"
"your majesty?" Henry asked confusingly.
"They are the King and the Queen of Ireland" Tony said with gritted teeth.
Henry's eyes widened and bowed as well.
"I sincerely apologize" he said.

"It's okay. Can we just have a cup of water" Niall asked.
"Yes. Yes your majesty. This way" Henry guided them toward a carriage.
"Take us to my house" Henry said and the carriage began moving.
