We arrived back to the castle in the early hours of the morning, honestly I thought it would go as smoothly as leaving the castle would be, but boy was I mistaken! We were supposed to leave the safe house this morning, but Gray got word that Rupert somehow learnt the location of the safe house, he blames his mother for showing up. So late last night after being literally dragged from bed and into a car, we arrived at the castle in the really early hours. Gray wasn't kidding when he told me they put an increase in the guard presents around the castle, they're down every corridor and office I even saw them in a crawl space when I was walking around! Lets just hope they don't get too overwhelming, but I know Gray is only doing this as he cares.  I was so nervous for the day ahead of me, if you remember Erik told me he had something he needed to discus with me about Cyrus. Everything with Gray's mother kind of put that

I wait around the corner of the reception to compose myself, I can't believe Gray and I had our first mini fight. I couldn't just stand there and allow him to treat people like that, I've never saw him like that and what I did see, I didn't like.  Once I was fully calm I walk around the corner where Kyle stood, he kind of looked different to when I last saw him. He looked tougher in a way, probably the job of an Alpha did that. He looks up his eyes lighting up a little when he saw me, I'm engulfed in a tight hug for a second.  We stand there for a few minutes, I didn't know how much I actually needed this hug. He was always there for me growing up and was my go to guy to help, I guess things haven't changed since we were little.  "When were you gonna tell me you let dad go?" he a

"Clara, Clara" I hear someone saying my name over and over again, they sounded close but I couldn't make out who it was at first.  I slowly open my eyes lifting my head up, this is when I discovered I was in a dark and wet warehouse tied to a chair. My hands were tightly tied behind my back, while my legs were tied to the chair legs.  "Clara you're okay?" I hear the same voice, I turn my head as much as I could to see Lizzy also tied to the chair behind me "I was starting to get worried" she says still looking behind, starting to?! Being tied to a chair in a middle of a warehouse isn't imitate worry for her?!  "Do you know where we are?" I ask looking around but I couldn't see anything that might indicate where we were, again it was just a dark and wet warehouse place.

I lay in the cold freezing night for hours, the only sound I heard was the crashing of the water on the side of the dock. I could barely move due to my body being so cold, my body felt numb as I lay there staring at the side of the old wooden dock. I was just holding out hope that Rupert or Lizzy who pop their head out, they would tell me it was some sick joke and it was all going to be okay. But that didn't happen.  The ropes around my hands felt tight and were piecing through my skin, I somehow went passed the feeling of pain with my hands. They hurt for a few hours but now were numb, as like my whole body. The wind began to pick up sending a even bigger chill through my body, to make matters worse mist had started to form which meant I was getting wet. I repeatedly try to mind-link Gray or anyone, but as like before I couldn't. Whatever chemical he held to my face has caused a total loss of communication between

Today was the day of Lizzy's funeral, I done a lot of crying in the morning yesterday so I'll try to keep the tears at bay for Gray. He hasn't shown any emotion towards what happened to his mother, I don't think he's fully had time to absorb what's happened yet, whenever he does I'll be there. Late afternoon yesterday is when we announced her funeral, Gray stuck with the story that they had located her body after all this time and she was finally being put to rest. Honestly, a part of me thinks that statement isn't fully false, hear me out before you think I'm crazy. Before the awful killing of Matilda, Lizzy was a different person. From the stories Gray's told me and the pictures I've saw, but also the things I've heard from her old friends, she was this positive ball of light that you never saw frowning. She was always up to help people and would go out of her way to ensure everyone was safe, it's still unfortunate that she was mated to a man like Preston. But
