Double Life© (Niall Horan fanfic) COMPLETED

Chapter thirty three

I awoke to find myself wrapped in Niall's arms, my head on his chest, and us still on the airplane.

I slowly removed my head looking up to see his sleeping face.

He looked like an angel.

So peaceful and vulnerable.

I smiled and looked over to see Harry asleep next to Niall and Louis on the other side of the aisle asleep.

I laid my head back down closing my eyes again. I groaned loudly as the pilot's voice boomed through the speakers seconds later.

"We will be landing in Ireland in fifteen minutes. Please fasten your seat belts."

I groaned and looked up to see Niall's eyes fluttering open. He looked down at me sleepily with a smile.

"Good morning"

I smiled. "Morning."

Harry's voice spoke up sleepily. "What was that?"

"He said we're landing in 15 and need to fasten our seat belts."

He nodded and smacked Louis causing him to jolt.

"What is it with you people and rude awakenings?" He groaned rubbing his arm.

I giggled and Harry told him what to do.

Niall removed his arms from around me and buckled his belt. I sighed and removed myself from his chest doing the same.

I looked out the window in awe. Niall looked at me and smiled taking my hand in his large one.

"Welcome to Ireland princess."

I looked over. "Princess?"

He blushed nodding slightly. "You're my princess now."

I smiled. "You're my prince?"

He nodded. "Yep."

I giggled. "Where are we staying while we're here?"

"An old abandoned castle deep in the woods no one knows about."

I laughed. "Well that's kinda ironic."

He laughed and nodded. "Yeah. I guess it is." He smiled.

Fifteen minutes later we were off the plane, luggage in hand, and in a cab taking us to a park.

I stepped out of the cab taking my luggage hauling it out and pulling the handle up.

"It's deep in the woods behind this park."

I nodded. "We have to drag our luggage through the woods?"

He nodded then smirked. "If you wouldn't have packed so much it wouldn't be so difficult."

I rolled my eyes and began dragging it in the grass.

After about an hour of difficulty I finally see something coming into view. A tall stone castle as if it just came out of a fairy tale stood tall in a small opening in the woods.

"Wow." I breathed out in amazement as I gazed up it.

Vines grew along the bottom extending up the tower. Large oak doors placed in the middle of the castle with the tower to the right.

Niall chuckled. "Feel like a princess?"

I nodded and walked forward still gazing up in awe.

It was amazing and I truly felt like I was in a fairy tale with my Prince Charming.

He opened the doors and I stepped in with him, Harry, and Louis trailing closely behind me. I looked around in with wide eyes and a giddy expression.

I could swear I just stepped into a fairytale book and I was now the princess in a castle.

Grey stone walls lined the hallway leading into a very large room. A huge crystal chandelier hung low from the high wooden ceilings. For being abandoned this place was pretty nice.

"Are you sure I'm not in a book?"

Niall cocked his head gazing at me as a chuckle escaped his perfect lips. "This is real babe."

I sighed contently. "I could get used to this." I admired causing him to chuckle deeply again.

I pulled the heavy suitcase behind me setting it by some steep circular stairs. I decided I would bother with the task of dragging it up them later and chose to explore a little further.

Niall set his duffle bag beside mine and Harry and Louis did the same.

"Now what?" Louis asked peering at Niall.

He shrugged. "We could check the kitchen to see if there's any food and if not someone could run to the store."

They all nodded then looked at me awaiting a response.

"I think I'm just going to explore."

Niall chuckled again making me smile. "Be careful."

He winked and him and the others walked off into what I assume would be the kitchen. I decided to head down the hall looking at all the details around me.

The walls were slightly cracked, but it just gave them that castley feel. I placed my palm along them as I walked to find them cold and slightly damp. I removed my hand as I rounded a corner into another very large room.

A similar chandelier hung from the ceiling and a large fireplace was in the middle of the opposite wall. It was so beautiful, but what surprised me was there was a firing going in it.

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion and scanned the rest of the room. There were three large plush red couches placed in a square almost with the fireplace as one of the sides. A large antique coffee table was set in the middle of them.

What really caught my eye was a mop of hair on the couch with the back facing towards me.

"Welcome, Belle."
