Cooper's Grandpa or should we call him Grandpa Cody? Anyways, he went to go check on his stupid son he hates and see why he wouldn't respond to any of the kids letters or calls to him when they had been worried for who knows how long already? He continued walking om the dirt-way leading to the kingdom where he could get some answers on what may be the dilemma or maybe their Dad was to busy with work to see any of their calls. He honestly thought they were being to paranoid about him, who knows that he could be completely fine but unable to answer them at the moment since being king isn't as easy as they make it look. To much paperwork with not enough time each and everyday can get quite hard to finish as time goes on to the point you just can't do it anymore.
                          
It was nothing to him when they said he didn't answer because there's going to be a time where your parent is busy and needs to concentrate at least once in everyone's life, like don't your parents tell you to quiet down when their on the phone or that their to busy at the moment to talk with you? It's only for a while and you'll have to learn to deal with it whether you like it or not sometimes so just do something in the meanwhile. Grandpa continued walking to the pathway for a while knowing that this would take a few hours at most to get to by foot but he wanted to make those kids stop annoying him so he would continue to walk there until he got the evidence that everything was fine and there was nothing to see there. He would never understand why not answering a few phone calls is the end of the world for people but sometimes it's just things like life that gets in the way of things making people busy quite often at most. His footsteps crunchy from the leaves on the dirt fall as it was fall and this was usually the time to rack leaves to jump in the pile or step on crunchy leaves for their sweet satisfying sound they make quite often except at time where they look crunchy but aren't when stepped on.
                          
This will take a while to make it to that kingdom and Grandpa wanted to turn back already since he hated seeing that evil twin that is a danger to even his own kids to the point they had to leave for their own safety. Leaving their Dad to be stuck with a man who held no sentimental value of Dad's life in his heart, which makes its easier for him to hurt another person he cares nothing about. It wouldn't be a problem for anyone to kill if they didn't care about the person they planned on killing which causes so many people that would kill during the purge cause no one would hold it against them. These thoughts were really starting to bug Grandpa Cody since he didn't care if that so called son of his died because he stayed behind for a dumb treaty but his grandkids wouldn't let him rest until he went over there himself with a pocket knife just in case something went wrong. This pocket knife was given to him by his one and only friend when he was alive, yet it has been used more than you would think so he brought it since he's still stuck at the age 28 thanks to his magic so he doesn't look old even if he was alive more many decades already.
                          
Cooper's P.O.V.
                          
Something was wrong I could sense it for quite a while now that it was aching at me to a point I couldn't ignore it any longer. I just got up from my seat in the dining room and headed towards the exit of the castle to go to Lin's house to get some comfort to forget the feeling that was making me anxious for no reason I could really see besides the trip my Grandpa took to Dad's prison. He said it would be fine so I don't why I feel anxious as I walk out the castle I ignore the stares from people and knock on Lin's door hoping he would answer to which he does after a minute or two. I walk inside his home and plop onto his bed to which he lies next to me with his arm bandaged brand new again, we stay laying there for who knows how long before I just hug Lin wanting some comfort from him. He hugs me back seeming to understand that I need to be hugged for a while so we stay there and it does help me calm down as his heart beat is steady making me feel better after a few minutes.
