The Huntington Pack’s stronghold, once a grand stone castle that had towered over its territory with authority, now stood as a shattered skeleton of debris. Walls had collapsed into jagged piles, blackened scorch marks cut across the stones, and the faint metallic scent of blood clung to the air. “Damn,” I muttered, the protective instinct in me flaring up, urging me to turn back, to protect what remained of our own people before we became the next ruins.

But before I could contemplate any further on the subject of the night’s events, the ground beneath me began shaking violently, and with one massive tremor, the ostentatiously large chandelier fell with a crash, shattering glass all over. The entire castle was shaking tremendously and was on the brink of collapsing. With a final substantial effort, I rushed across the great hall and through the hallway, dodging falling armours and ruins. It seemed, that the castle had somehow been connected to Malena and now as she remained no longer, it had approached its culmination too. Deceiving death all around me, I managed to shove myself out of the demolition and hurled myself onto the ground outside

Mrs Sprocket told Annabelle that Belle Rose had done some research about Hohenzollern Castle and Annabelle asked Belle Rose as well as Fatima if she could join them. Belle Rose and Fatima allowed her to join them. They talked while they were having breakfast, and Annabelle asked Belle Rose. "So I have heard that you have done some research about Hohenzollern Castle, and why did you do the research?" Belle Rose finished the mouthful of food (Strawberry yoghurt), and she replied. "Because I want to know more about Hohenzollern Castel more than I already do, and it was in my first dream that had the castle in it.

The acid was eating through the shingles, through the wood, dripping into the attic. "It's dissolving the city," Silas cried, watching a stream of gray sludge pour down the staircase. "It's digestive fluid! The atmosphere is trying to digest us!" THE UMBRELLA LEO’S P.O.V.

I continue to walk in the middle of the woods to the top until I finally reached the castle. The castle is dilapidated and ramshackle. It's been abandoned for more than a decade and nobody is maintaining the place. The huge garden is filled with wild grass and twigs and dried leaves. There are dead plants and huge oak trees. The castle is filled with dust and broken glass windows but the structure seems strong considering that it is old.

Instinctively, I pulled my son close, shielding him with my body as Elijah and Liam took up defensive positions, their weapons at the ready.

He hands the phone back, and I take a few more pictures of the scenery before putting it away. Streaks of pink and orange cross the sky as we explore the exterior of the crumbling stone. Cracks and chips climb up the castle. Wooden doors are covered with moss and vines, nearly falling off the hinges.

I couldn’t imagine living in a castle.” Griffin plucks a flower and then tucks it into my hair. “You’d love living in a castle.
