Chapter Twenty-Three

I was walking around the castle with my teddy bear, when I hear shouting, I hold my teddy tighter and start making my way over to where the shouts were coming from.

"Please, you have to allow us in, our son isn't safe out there"I hear a woman cry, she sounded really upset.

The cries led me to the ballroom where I stand by the door looking in, my parents and Ryan's parents were in there, Ryan's mum was the one crying.

"I'm sorry, due to your history we don't believe it'll be safe if you were to live in the castle," my father says, making Ryan's mum cry even more.

I look around the ballroom where a little boy hugging his knees catches my eye, I make sure the adults couldn't see me as I run over, sitting next to him.

"Are you okay?" I ask quietly to the little boy, he shakes his hand cuddling his legs still "what's wrong?" I ask, getting closer to him.
