Noah gasped in horror at what he had done. "Oh my God!" He felt someone pick his wrist up and slam something on it.

He looked down and saw that the black cuff was there. He looked up and saw Sebastian, Pierre, and Joanne.

"Wha-- what are you doing?"

"Prince Noah, you are under arrest for the murder of Mike, The Savior and attempted murder of Jermey," Sebastian said.

* * *

"We gave you a week to come up with a solution and you have failed. Now we must take matters into our hands."

* * *

"Last week, when Mike killed himself, the Saviors and I had a meeting about what was going to happen. We all knew that Noah wouldn't get better, so they gave me a week to get him under control and if he hurt someone, he would be arrested for the murder of Mike and any other person who he hurt."

* * *

"What happened tonight?" Rose asked.

"He was awake the first time and asleep the second time. He must've had a nightmare or something because he was on top of Annie with both of his hands around her neck and squeezing. I don't know the whole story, but she ran out of her room and into mine. She was screaming at him to get away from her. So I took Noah downstairs and he cried. He's so scared. Last night was the most scared I've ever seen him in my and Jess's entire life. Justin watched Annie until she fell asleep to make sure she was okay. I took Noah back to my room and he slept with me and Justin came in later. Noah must've been so scared that he was sleepwalking. He went down to the village and nearly killed a man."

* * *

"Let him go!"

"Fine. But we get our trial."

* * *

I tried to be who I am.

* * *

"Oh, God! What have I done?"

* * *

"Is he okay?"

"He's fine for now."

* * *

And look at where I am now.

* * *

"Natalie, what happens if Noah is found guilty at the end?"

"He will be executed."

* * *

Would the world be better without me?

* * *

"This is how it happens."

* * *

Would the world be better without me?

* * *

"You looked into Noah's future?"

"I looked into everyones. Every time it turned black when Regina opened her mouth."

* * *

Somebody help me, to break free. So that I can be alive.

So I can be alive.

* * * 

"Noah!"

* * *

"I have to get him back."

* * *

It's not fair, I can't be free no, not anymore.

I have to break free. Before I hurt someone once more.

And that will be the end!

* * *
