You're not going anywhere

The night crept upon carol as she rode on her caramel coloured horse back to the kingdom. It was another cold night, it was fall after all. The fall leaves crunched beneath the stallions feet as Carol leaf it through the forest shortcuts so she would be home sooner .It must have been around four am when Carol reached the kingdom, she hopped off her horse , put it in its stable and sped off to find Ezekiel. She found him asleep on his throne. After a few moments of violently shaking him carol had woken him up. "Have you sent them" she said with a slight hint of agression in her tone, "yes, they should be there by now. I was going to go but I had to stay behind to make sure Henry didn't leave", "what do you mean, didn't leave ?" She asked. "He tried to sneak out to fight carol, he tried to go with them", "is he crazy" she was almost yelling now, "if he goes he'll die, it's my job to protect him. I can't lose him, I can't..." she was becoming teary eyed but fought them back so they wouldn't fall down her rosy cheeks. "Carol i know this, but he won't listen to me. He's in the house and Jerry is standing watch so he doesn't leave. You need to talk to him" Ezekiel said.
Without another word carol left the building and angry stormed her way over to the house, as she came closer Jerry greeted her "hi carol, he's inside." Jerry stepped to the side and let carol past, she gave him a weak and clearly forced smile and practically stomped through the door. "HENRY" she yelled, "HENRY GET DOWN HERE NOW". Henry, who was dreading being shouted at by carol, slowly dragged himself downstairs after preparing himself for the wrath of carol he was about to face.

"Young man", she began "are you crazy ? You realise that if you had left l, if you had been able to sneak out that you could've died?!" Sue glared at him with a look of shock, worry and anger all plastered on her face. "I know" he said weakly not able to look her in the eyes, "but i thought it was just a visit and that I was going to be able to sneak into the back of a wagon and go hang out there for a little while, but then Ezekiel got super mad when he found out I had tried to go and sent me to my room with Jerry on surveillance and didn't tell me what was going on".
"You don't know ?" She asked looking somewhat relived "so you weren't just wanting to be a stupid hero?", "hero ?" Henry asked now looking her in the eyes puzzled "what do you mean hero-" he was cut off by carol, "I'm so glad that you didn't just want to run off to try and fight a war we're not even sure is happening, and-". "a war?, what do you mean? If there's a war I want fight. My friend live in Alexandria, if they need warriors I'm capable of fighting, why can't I go?" Henry exclaimed angrily, "Henry, you're not going, you're not" carol said as she walked towards the front door", "I'll find a way out of here you know, you can't keep me locked up here forever, I'll escape!" He yelled with his fist clenched by his side.
Carol reached for the doorknob, turned it, and just as she was about to exit, turned to Henry with the coolest expression she'd had on her face for years and spoke calmly with a great sense of relief in her tone,
"You're not going anywhere"...
