The Pirate Prince *Larry Stylinson*

Because you are mine

Chapter 13

"Lou!" Ellie chirped out with an excited wave Louis's way the moment he entered the ship's deck.

Members of the crew appeared just as anxious to leave the ship as Louis; however this didn't seem to stop the smirks the young men threw his way when they walked past the royal in favor of the bridge. Louis returned Ellie's wave.

Giving Ellie a customary hug, Louis pulled away to watch her absolutely joyful face.

During their time at sea, Louis was pretty sure this was his first time seeing her look so happy.

He couldn't blame her.

"So, this is it, huh?" Louis breathed out thoughtfully, his eyes glancing all about where the members of One Direction were now beginning to board off of the ship. Ellie pushed back some of her hair that was beginning to cast over her eyes, "Yeah. I guess by tomorrow we should be back to normal." The brunette smiled fondly.

Louis chuckled while folding his arms over his chest, "If this all goes well everything will go back to how it was."

"What's the plan for when we get off of the ship?" Ellie asked lowly as Louis beckoned her to follow him to the edge of the ship to overlook the exiting pirates that were all walking along the dock chattering. He leaned over the side and propped his face on his hand when he laid his elbow on the ledge,

"I have a feeling that Harry has a gist of what I want to do, so without a doubt he'll be keeping a close eye on me." He scowled lightly, "But we just need to stick together when we go off even if Harry's there. At one point when I feel his guard is down, I'll say something like 'Eleanor your hair looks terrible, go fix it.' And then you can go off like you're going to find a toilet but in actuality you'll go and find the police and direct them to Harry and I. When they see me, everything should work out." He informed her with a nod.

Ellie blinked her eyes before taking the tips of her hair into her fingers with a frown, "Is my hair really that bad?"

Glancing away, Louis cleared his throat, "Anyways, I feel as though we've been on this boat way longer than necessary."

The brunette tilted her head, "It's weird to think that it's been over a week since we've been here."

"Brilliant." Louis sarcastically shook his head, "Well, not another day will go by with us on it so that's good enough for me at this point." He flipped his hair and watched downward at the men leaving the harbor.

They were luckier than they realized.

Smiling wistfully, Ellie chuckled, "This will be my first time in Ireland." She truthfully stated making Louis sigh, "Same."

"Louis,"

Surprised at hearing his name called, Louis squinted as he turned around to view whoever said his name.

Zayn watched at him rather indifferently, his expression contrasting greatly with the normal vigor amusement he wore when he regarded Louis. He looked completely serious and Louis found himself cocking his head to the side a bit, "Yes?" He politely responded, turning his body around along with Ellie to face the male properly.

Ellie smiled obliviously, "Good morning, Zayn. Sophia was actually looking for you earlier—"

"Yeah, I know. I spoke to her already." Zayn curtly interrupted, his tone was a bit harsher than both Louis and Ellie expected.

The brunette blinked and meekly tilted her head downward, "Oh. Okay." She softly remarked but Louis was glaring at Zayn, "I'd say I'm sorry to be blunt, but I'm not; what the hell is your problem? You were literally fine ten minutes ago."
