Love In Death (1D AU)

Chapter Thirtytwo - Nancy

Jace spoke:

"53° N, 5° W,

You will find the end.

The final knowledge will come to you,

Survival is unlikely but dedication is necessary for the slim chance of coming through

Chase the colours until shore,

Where, perhaps, a surprise may occur."

With a sly smirk on his face, Jace disappeared into thin air, leaving Niall more alone and uncertain then ever.

"What have I done to deserve this?" Niall yelled into the air. "What did I do?"

He yelled and screamed at the air but, obviously, no one heard. A little girl about seven or eight skipped by herself with a red balloon. Niall probably would have never taken notice if she hadn't been skipping directly towards him. He also found it very strange because she was wearing an Elizabethan style dress and you don't usually see that in Ireland.

The girl stopped directly in front of Niall.

"Hello." She said, too cheerfully.

"Hi." Niall replied suspiciously.

"I'm Nancy." The girl said, she put her hand out for Niall to shake.

"Niall." He shook her tiny hand.

"Were you just speaking with Jace?"

"Yes, I was." Niall had no idea where this conversation was going but thought it was a bit strange.

"He is great. I love Jace." Niall snorted in sarcasm but Nancy didn't seem to notice.

"What did he say to you?" Nancy asked.

"Just this stupid riddle."

"Ooh, I just adore riddles. What is it?" Niall told her Jace's riddle and Nancy told him what she thought.

"Well, the numbers are coordinates, but they lead to the middle of the Irish sea." Nancy said. Niall stared.

"How do you know?" He asked. Nancy shrugged as if it were nothing.

"How do you not? Come, we must walk." Niall and Nancy walked through people, down the street.

"I do not know what your poem means but I believe it will be revealed soon, and in the middle of the Irish sea. I also believe it has something to do with that girl that you were staring at." Niall blushed and looked away.

"How do you know about that?" He asked. Nancy gave him this if-you-ask-me-that-again-you-will-be-beyond-the-afterlife look. He just nodded and looked away again. They continued walking but they didn't know where they were going. Niall looked up and got lost in the beautiful blue sky. He longed to feel the wind on his face and the grass in his toes.

He missed being alive.

That's what she was doing! He thought. Niall had a spontaneous thought that Celestia was doing everything he wanted to do. She was feeling the wind in her hair and the grass under her feet. Celestia was enjoying the moment.

Minutes later, Niall looked ahead of him again but the scenery had changed. Nancy was still next to him but they had stopped. They were now standing on the shoreline of the famous Irish sea. He looked at Nancy, confused, but she just pointed to a boat far out in the ocean. Niall assumed thats where he had to go. He also assumed that Nancy knew what was going to happen but wasn't going to tell him.

She had a grave look on her face.

Niall wasn't stupid but Nancy painted on a smile and winked at Niall before completely disappearing. Niall looked over at the boat and sighed, this is going to be a difficult one.
