We end up at the castle 2 hours early.

"How did we manage that?" I mumble to myself.

"Our time management sucks." Kacey shrugs.

I scoff. "Clearly."

"You should change into your lets-crash-my-funeral dress." Kacey says pulling a dress out of her bag. It's a long sleeved pick dress with what looks likes butterflies sewn in.

"Ok."She shoves the dress back in her back as I tie our horses up outside the castle and walk in the town to the castle. "We're going to climb into my bedroom I'm going to change them we crash the funeral."

"Deal." We climb up the castle wall into my bedroom. Kacey hands me the dress and I change. Once I'm changed and my hair is nice we climb out of the castle.

"How much time do we have left?" I ask.

"About 30 minutes." She tells me.

"Ok. We can hide behind the castle for a bit." And so we do. We wait 40 minutes then head to the funeral.

"We're here." Kacey says. "What are you going to do?"

"This." I open the door and walk in. "Sorry I'm late. Who's funeral is this?"

"Th-The Princess...!" One of the town folks stammers.

"Iris?" My mother asks her voice wavering.

"That's me." I smile.

"This was your funeral..."

"Really?" I fake being shocked.

"Yes. Yes it was." My father says standing up. "There's no need for the funeral. Everyone may leave."

Everyone huffs and puffs as they leave shooting the queen dirty looks.

"Where were you?" My father asks.

"I was just around the Forest of Thee." I say.

"For around 2 weeks?" My mother demands.

"Yeah. I had a lot of fun." I smile.

"That's not very lady like." My mother says.

"Oh well." I say. Then look around. Daisy is beside my father but Rosie is no where in sight. "Where's Rosie?"

"She was taken last night."

"What?" I ask.

"She was the female taken last night." My mother says bitterly.

I run out the back door Daisy following.

"Where are you going?" She demandeds following me.

"To get Rosie back."  I tell. "Make up some like that mom and dad will believe."

"Rosie was taken?" Kacey asks running beside me.

"Yes. Yes she was." I say. We climb on our horses.

"Where are we going?"

"To find Roberto." I say. We ride all the way to the hideout where we found them.

We climb down the ladder to find nothing.

"It's abandoned. Everythings gone." Kacey says.

"No, no, no, no, no!" I scream. "How can they be gone?"

"I don't know." Kacey admits. "We should go back and talk to Erik maybe he knows what happened."

"Fine." I huff. The two of us leave to ride back to the Nightstalker hideout.

"What are you doing back here Princess?" Issac asks.

"Where's Erik?" I demand.

"Why do you need him?" He asks mockingly.

"I'm right here." Erik says. "Why do you need me?"

"Rosie was taken." I say. "When we got to the hideout where we found them they were gone. The place was abandoned."

"What? That can't be.." he says.

"It is. I don't know what to do." I say.

"It'll be alright. Get some rest I'll talk with the board."

"Ok. Let me know when you have something decided. Please."

"I will but right now you need a shower and rest."

"Ok." I walk back to our room and collapse on my bed.
