Sorry this chapters so short, been kind of stuck on this.

The next day Athelstan left the cottage before anyone else and went to find Mrs Siggy. He had made the decision to join the drama club, if they would let him. He knocked on the door to Mrs Siggy's office and waited for a response.

"Come in" a female voice said

Athelstan opened the door and came face to face with Mrs Siggy "Good morning Mrs Siggy"

"Good morning Athelstan, what can I do for you?" she asked

"Well I-I was wondering if I could join the drama club" Athelstan said

Mrs Siggy looked at him unimpressed and said "A bit late for that, you had your chance"

"Please I can pick up from where ever the actors are" Athelstan said

We looked at him smugly and said "We are doing a play on Thumbelina and we need a lead as the fairy prince, think you can do that?"

"Yes, I've done that play before" Athelstan replied

"Oh? Well then I suppose you could join, if you don't cause trouble for others" she said "You will join us for practice during these times and don't be late" she said handing him a piece of paper with the drama club schedule.

"Thank you" he said before leaving.

The day went by normally for Athelstan. He went to classes, had lunch with his friends and looked after the garden. He felt better after he had showered and had something to eat.

As everyone sat at the table Gyda was the one who brought up the drama club to everyone "Athelstan joined the drama club today" she said.

Everyone looked at Athelstan in surprise and asked if it was true.

"Yes" Athelstan replied "How did you know Gyda?" he asked

"Everybody in the drama knows. We were told when we went to rehearsal today that you would be joining us" Gyda replied

"I see, that makes sense" Athelstan said

"So we will heard you sing now?" Ragnar asked

"Yes, when the drama club does the play" Athelstan replied

"Brilliant!" Ragnar said excitedly

"What made you decide to join?" Bjorn asked "It thought you didn't want to join"

"Well...I read my friends will that he wrote for me he said I should continue doing what I love, I guess that was a form of motivation for me" Athelstan replied.

Nobody asked anymore questions out of respect.

That night as Ragnar and Athelstan got ready for bed Ragnar asked "What part will you be playing?"

"The fairy prince" Athelstan replied

"The lead character? Wow, it didn't take long for them to recognise your talent, did it?" Ragnar said playfully.

Athelstan chuckled and crawled into bed "Goodnight Ragnar" he said.

"...Athelstan?" Ragnar said

"Yeah?"

"Are you ok?" Ragnar asked

"I'm getting better, thank you" Athelstan replied

"Alright, goodnight" Ragnar said and threw his quilt over himself.

Meanwhile in Wessex high school.

"Pardon me sir" a young man said as he entered his bosses office

"Yes, what is it?" an older man replied, as he took a sip of whiskey.

"We've just received word from our spy at Kattegat High as reported in" the young man said

"And?" the older man said

"They say Athelstan has joined their drama club and will be performing soon. Sir, if people at that school discover his talent then we might be in trouble" the young man said.

"Indeed we will. It appears we will have to improve our efforts" the older man said, breaking the glass that was in his hand.
