Zayn's POV:

I was sleeping on the kitchen floor, it was cold, so cold. And there was no source of heat but the thin blanket.

But I wasn't complaining. Cold better than dead. Besides, Mary couldn't afford to buy me another thick blanket. It was enough that she let me stay with her and her family. But thank God spring was coming, and the cold weather would go away.

I hope I won't be staying here 'till then.

Anyway, you're probably wondering how did I leave, what happened after I left the castle and where was I?

Well to answer you how and what, it's a long story but I was now in Belfast. And I left London on the back of a horse.

I was kinda having trouble sleeping since I got that letter yesterday.

Oh that letter! I felt myself sitting up, and unfolding it again. I still couldn't believe that Prince Harry -or King Harry now- declared a war on a whole country because of me.

Did that mean he love me or he can't wait to separate my head from my body?

With those thoughts in my mind, I started rereading the letter I received yesterday.

Dear Zayn,

How are you doing? I hope you're in good health. I have bad news for you, King Harry decided to declare a war on Ireland; to find you. Which means you're no longer safe.

But I want you to know that I will try my best so Harry won't hurt you or even get to you. It's going to be hard. But I will try for you.

If you felt any danger, you can go to Prince Niall and say that you're my friend; he will protect you.

Anyway, Is Mary treating you well? I'm sure she is. Please send her my love and appreciation.

Take care of yourself.

                                      Sir Liam Payne.

Yes a war. There's a war coming and I didn't know what should I do.

And to be honest, I didn't really feel like going to Prince Niall's castle. But you trust Liam don't you? Of course I do. If it wasn't for him, I'd probably be dead. Or worse; raped and dead.

I lay again, closed my eyes. And decided to leave everything to fate. Then slowly, I felt myself drifting to sleep. 

..

So it was Liam who let Zayn out. Did you see that coming? I think a lot of you did right? XD

All the details on how he escaped will be in another chapter.

Love y'all X
