"Katherine, you can't go in there," Sebastian said as he grabbed Katherine by her wrist firmly. "Everyone that came to your funeral are inside that hall and if you go in there they'll think you're a ghost."Katherine turned toward to face Sebastian who stared at her in awe, still trying to get the it was really her not her ghost.
