*knock knock knock*

"What?" said my father.

"It's me... Jayden," said Jayden.

There was a pause.

"and Calista," said Jayden. His face showed that he was scared to death.

"You may come in Jayden, but not Calista," said my father.

"But-" I started to say as my father cut me off.

"SILENCE!" yelled my father.

"Let her explain!" said Jayden.

"Maybe tomorrow," said my father, "Calista you may have your status in the castle back. I was talking to the council and they said that it wasn't your fault."

"Oh thank you father!" I replied gratefully.

"Now leave," he demanded.

I then ran to my bedroom. It felt so good to be home. I hadn't seen it in a few hours, but those hours felt like days. My father will talk to me, tomorrow right? Hopefully. I didn't really have any friends so I normally just went to the library. I mean yeah I'm a princess, but I'm really just an invert with protection. My family didn't really trust a lot of kingdoms. Only Connors because my dad was best friends with their king.

"Who is it?" I asked.

"Uh it's me?" said a voice.

"So who's me?" I said in a miserable voice.

"I don't know your brother? They guy that lives with you?" Trastes

"Ugh, shut up!" I replied,"anyway, why are you here?"

"I can't just visit my only sister," teased Jayden again.

"No," I said, "but seriously why are you here?"

"Oh... um," said Jayden.

"Just say it!" I snapped.

"Dad wants to see you," he said nervously.

"Oh lord, please save me now!" I sad while sighing.

"Maybe it won't be that bad?" replied Jayden.

"Uh huh, keep telling yourself that," I said, "but I guess I have to go."

"Don't die!" called out Jayden as I left.

I just rolled my eyes as I walked down the hall. I didn't know what my father was like now. From what Jayden had told me I was a little scared. When I finally got there I was so hesitant to knock on the door. Then I finally did.

•KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK•

"Come in," said my father in a loud demanding voice.

I opened the door.

"Hello, father it's me your daughter, Calista," I said.

"Oh," said my father.

I was so nervous.

"I'm very sorry and I didn't mean to frea-" I was cut off.

"I know Calista, and because your still unfortunately part of my family your banished," said my father.

"What?!" I said in shock, "but father-"

"You should be out of my kingdom tomorrow by noon," he said in a demanding voice.

"Yes, as you wish," I said sadly.

I started to walk out the door. As soon as that door closed, I cried. It hurts a lot to know that my own father wants me out of his kingdom.

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

"Calista? It's me Jayden," called Jayden.

"What do you want?!" I said in a miserable voice.

"Tell me what happened," he replied.

"No," I said.

"Come on tell me," said Jayden, "I'm not leaving until you do!"

"Fine! So our father banished me from this kingdom and I have to be out by tomorrow at noon," I said sadly.

"What?!" he replied, "how could he do that? To his own child! Well now I'm coming with you!"

"No!" I said.

"Why not?" he asked.

"Well you need to run the kingdom!" I said.

"But-"

"No buts your going to stay!" I said.

"Fine, but I'm sending Connor to go with you!" I replied.

"Ugh, okay if that's what it's going to take for you to leave me alone," I said.
