New Knighthood chapter 4

The sun was just beginning to set as Horon reached the castle. Finally! Horon thought, but just as he reached the front gate he saw that it was being closed for the night. “No wait!” he shouted “open up!” But no one could hear him. And as the gate closed, he laid down on the grass on the outside of the castle. In the morning, Horon awoke on a nice bed in a house. He got up and started to put on his clothes but then he remembered what had happened the day before and started to cry. But then, he heard a knock on his door and first, he wondered who it was then second, he wondered where he was then third, he wondered how he got there. He went to open the door and saw an old lady and her even older husband. “Well look who finally woke up,” said the lady “you slept through breakfast.”

“And lunch,” said the old man.

“Where am I?” said Horon.

 “You’re in the famous Uptown Inn” said the old lady “I am grandma and this is grandpa,” she said.

“But um, you’re not my grandparents,” said Horon “Well, yes we know that but we like people to feel as if they were at home,” the lady said with a smile.

 “Ok, but I need to get to the castle as quick as possible so please, can you help me?” said Horon.

“Sure we can the king is old friend of mine,” she said.

“Very, very old friend,” said grandpa.

“ OK if it’s that important to you than we will leave right away!” said grandma “but let’s eat some lunch first.”
