The Swan: A harry styles fanfic

Chapter 3: Nightfall

(Alyssa's P.O.V)

The sun finally started to set. Niall and i looked at eachother as we started to make our way to the shoreline. we were settling in and just as the sun vanished.  The familiar feeling of soft shivers, told me we were changing. we turned into normal humans. i was dressed in my same white dress from when i was taken. My light brown hair fluttered in the soft breeze. Niall looked like a prince. white shirt , royal blue jacket,  with matching royal blue pants. he had blonde hair and his blue eyes were noticeable even in the darkness. it was dark but not too dark as the moon was starting to rise. i wandered over by the paved path and sat on the bench i would sit on with my father. We would sit here and feed the small ducks that swan in the lake. i touched my locket. it carried a picture of my parents. i hadnt known my mother long. she had died when i was 5. Dad was killed when i was taken. i was 18 then. im 20 now and i still look the same. except my feckles are less noticeable. Niall came over and sat with me. he put his arm around me and hugged me. we had no secrets. i put my hands over my face and a few tears slipped. i wanted my parents. i wanted our home. Hell. i wanted to not be in the place i am now. we sat there for hours. around 3 we got restless. we took a walk along the shoreline. We slept mostly during the day to make the time go quicker.we lived almost like vampires in a way. "so are you sure your okay?" ni asked me "yeah. im good. " i told him staring ahead blankly. niall nodded and pulled me to a stop. " no your not. i can tell." i sighed. " i was just thinking well more like wondering, whats harry doing right now?" he noded. " well just think. if we get the map tomorrow we can go find him." Ni said quietly. he did quiet so in case liam was listening. He had eyes and ears everywhere. i looked over the lake. i looked up at the catle. only a few lights were on. I remember when we used to have the biggest parties and i would sneak out here to admire the sight of the castle. glowing and a happy feel in the air. I remember the night i met Harry....

*flashback*

it was my 16th birthday. my dad had just given me a locket. it had his and mums picture in it. the moment i saw her i cried. He was throwing a big party for me. since the war was over and he needed to make peace with our neighboring kingdoms he inveited the royal family of sycotia. i walked down our grand staircase and all eyes turned to me. i was wearing my favorite Purple dress. it was purple, with a white in the fron around the white was laced with gold. My father took my arm and led me over to a man, wife and .... a son? " lyssa these are our nieghbors from sycotia. this is King Zayn and his wife Queen Perrie and this is their son Prince Harry." Perrie was blonde and rather pale but in other words gorgeous. Harry had brown curly hair and the brightest green eyes id ever seen. i noticed he also had a cheeky smile.I curtsied and looked up. The boy named Harry smiled at me. it was almost as if he liked me or something."King Zayn this is my daughter Alyssa" the King smiled at me. "so your the one who is going to rule this place one day huh?" he asked. i nod. "yes sir. i hope to help our people and be the best Queen like my mother was." He smiled. my father chuckled. "wll go on and enojy your party love." he kissed my head and i walked off. i noticed Harry sneak away from his parents.  or maybe they told him to go off too. i wandered around until i found my way to the balcony looking over the lake. "i thought youd never come out here." a voice said. i jumped and turned to see Harry leaning against the wall behind the doors.  He walked over to me and looked out. "this is nice" i stepped away from him a bit. " i dont know you sooo."  He looked at me and laughed. "well maybe we can change that. " he said " if you want" He stepped close to me and held my hand. i thought for a moment "sure."  we wandered through out the night and talked about things we liked and dis liked. when the music changed to a soft melody he asked me to dance. we danced for what seemed like hours, but it was only a few minutes afterwards i tlod him i wanted to show him somthing. i led him out of the castle and out by the lake. we walked down a paved path. soon we were walking along the shoreline moonlight was covering us. he glowed and im sure i did too. we stopped walking and we kept talking. "this is a nice spot" he commented. i smiled "i lkie to be here when we have parties. the moonlight on the lake is perfect and i love looking at the castle when its like this. full of life." Harry smiled " i like looking at you." i blushed. he took my hand as he looked me in the eyes." dont think im rushing you. but im in love with you. your smart, kind, and wonderful to be around." i snorted. "try saying that when im having a bad week." he laughed loud. Harry looked up. he sighed. "whats wrong." i asked "look up at that balcony" he pointed and i followed his gaze. im not sure but i think i saw his parents and my dad watching us. i giggled. "so what are you going to do when you go home?" i asked. " im not going home. yet anyways." my eyes widened "why?" he smiled "two reasons. one my parents will be here for the rest of the week. two, im in love with you and i dont know if i want to leave your side." i gasped a bit. no one had ever told me that.besides dad. i could tell he meant it. he brushed a stray strand of hair behind my ear. then slowly he put his lips to mine. His hands gripped my waist and my arms twined around his neck. He pulled back. " i love you."  i brushed my hand through his hair making it messy. " i love you too." 

*end of flashback*

I didnt realize it but i was crying. Niall noticed and he hugged me. "dont worry lyss. w'll get you to him soon." thats when i noticed night was almost over. the sun was begininng to rise. the sun broke and Niall and i transformed back into swans. i swam away from Niall wanting to be alone for a bit. he understood. as sad as i felt i couldnt show it. Swans dont cry.
