For the first time in forever Celestia woke up without feeling tired and like she could sleep forever. Although, she was only a little freaked out when she woke up to eight strangers in all different clothes staring at her. Niall was already awake. Celestia noticed they were in a house she had never seen before and she couldn't remember falling asleep on Niall. The strangers took a step back when she suddenly woke up.

"Guys, back off. You are freaking her out." Niall said. Six of the eight strangers left the room and a girl with blonde hair and a man with dark skin stayed behind. The girl looked as though she was poor in the 18th century and the man looked like a war veteran. Celestia looked at Niall and he smiled.

"Celestia, this is Zayn and Perrie. Zayn, Perrie, this is Celestia." Niall introduced them. The pair exchanged smiles with Celestia and she waved at them. Niall began to tell Zayn and Perrie the story from after he left the house to when Celestia appeared in the living room and collapsed on the lounge. Celestia became a little teary half way through at the thought of Niall walking all over the UK just to find her. She was so happy.

Death couldn't be more perfect, she thought.

Niall also explained to Zayn and Perrie about how Celestia couldn't talk. They said that that's fine because they both come from so long ago that they were both taught sign language in school. They also said that they would definitely teach the others.

"So, how do you live as ghosts?" Celestia signed.

"Well, you don't need to eat, sleep, breath, or really anything that normal mortals do to stay... Alive. Niall is your Destiny, that means you guys were destined to be together" Perrie explained smiling. Celestia smiled shyly at Niall, "The house we all share is eternal and so are it's residents. Guys you can come in!" She called. As she said this, six guilty faces emerged from behind the wall telling us they heard everything.

"My cousin was deaf, I know some sign language." Kimmy said, shyly.

"Anyone else?" Zayn asked. No one said anything.

"Come on guys. First sign language lesson starts now." Perrie said and everyone walked away.

"So, you can stay in my room or you can have your own room." Niall smiled at Celestia.

"You are my destiny so..." Niall smiled at Celestia and took her hand. He led her upstairs and down the hall to a door that had a 'N & C' in calligraphy on it. Niall blushed and told her that was there when he first got here. When Niall opened the door the size of the room surprised Celestia. The next rooms door was too close for Niall's room to be this size, Celestia thought.

Niall laughed at Celestia confusion and led her to the next door and knocked on it. Helena opened it and her room looked about the same size as Niall. Then Celestia remembered Perrie's words, The house we all share is eternal and so are it's residents. Celestia just walked back to Niall's doorway and shook off the confusion. Niall walked in first and Celestia followed.

Niall's room was dark and had nothing personal in it. Celestia frowned.

"Why is it so dark?" She signed.

"I haven't been in here for a while. I should really do something to spice it up a bit." Niall said.

"Why haven't you?"

"I was waiting for you."

Celestia smiled, mischeviously. "I'm here now, so MAKEOVER!" She signed, happily. Niall laughed and opened the curtains of the window that covered the whole wall, leaving the blue chiffon curtains to filter the light and turn the room a light shade of blue.

After hours of re - decorating, Niall and Celestia's room had more beautiful ornaments and posters in it then the Queens palace. Celestia gave it one last look and smiled, contently. She and Niall were both so happy with what they had achieved. Although, Niall seemed as though something was on his mind.

"What's wrong?" She signed. Niall shrugged and said 'nothing'. He hugged her by the waist and Celestia looked at the bright, multi - coloured bed spread Niall chose and she couldn't be more happy then she was at that point. Nothing could ever spoil this. Ever.

With the help of Niall, Celestia had created a bookself that covered the whole wall that the door was on. The bookshelf contained all of Niall and Celestia's favorites plus a few random ones to read one day. The room looked so beautiful. Celestia hadn't realised the sunlight flooding the room had turned into moonlight until she properly looked out the window.

Celestia closed the curtains and turned on both the lamps on either side of the bed. She also lit some candles.

"I want to get to know the everyone." Celestia signed after a while. They lay together on the bed with Celestia's head resting on Niall's chest.

"What do you want to know?" He asked.

"Them." She said. Niall chuckled and got up. Celestia asked where he was going but he didn't tell her. Seconds later, Celestia heard banging coming from the hallway.

"Come on, we're having a camp fire." Niall poked his head in the door. Celestia got off the bed and saw the others running excitedly downstairs and outside. She had no idea where they were going but she had a sense of excitement in her. Niall took Celestia's hand and they ran downstairs and followed the gang outside and through the woods. They came to a spot where everyone was already sitting around a fire, laughing.

Niall did this for me, Celestia thought.

"I really want to know everyone." Celestia signed. Perrie translated for her.

"Well, I'm Perrie Edwards, I'm over one hundred years old. I'm the oldest person here. I died in... hold on, I can't remember." Perrie looked around and Zayn looked up at her worried. Perrie wore a shocked expression as she looked around the group. No one spoke but the tension rose.

"Perrie..." Niall asked, warily, "I need you to tell me the name of your mother and father." Perrie looked at him strangly.

"Of course, they are..." Perrie trailed off. Celestia looked at her, worried, but she had no idea what to do. "It's like they are right at the back of my mind but I can't access that without assistance." Perrie continued.

"What? I don't want that to happen to me. I can't forget my sisters!" Louis said in a panicked tone.

"Oh Louis, you already have." Jace said.
