I was too baffled to do anything. How could he be so rude? I thought at least he would let me ask more questions than that. I huffed loudly then remembered I had to get going or else I would get caught by Aspen's guard buddies. I walked back to Women's Room, pondering if Celeste was still around. It's weird how she's one of my best friends know. Almost six months ago she was the dramatic diva I loathed, and now it feels odd to not having her in my life.

I asked around if people knew where she was, but no one knew where she was. It was so unlike her to be MIA without an excuse. The ladies of the selected who were invited to the wedding also had an invitation to stay for a night, so I didn't think she would just go home and not say goodbye. I searched the entire castle so I checked outside in the garden. As soon as I walked outside I screeched. I ran as fast as I could towards the lifeless body that laid in the middle of the gardens.

"No, no, no! Wake up! Celeste! You need to wake up." I screamed. It was no use. Around her a pool of blood confirmed my worst nightmare. "NOO!" I started to sob. The guards came rushing as they heard my agonizing screams.

"Tell the King!" One of the guards yelled. "Miss, I don't think it's safe for you to be out here right now." They tried to pick me up but I was covered in blood.

"This can't be happening today. Today of all days!" I muttered to myself. The guards eventually dragged me inside despite my efforts to escape their grasps. By the time I got inside I was too in shock to do anything that I fainted onto the ground.

"She was the one that found Lady Celeste deceased in the garden." The voices were muffled.

I opened up my eyes and saw I was in my bedroom from when I was in the selection. I was confused for a moment before I remembered the events that happened moments before. I started screaming in pain. The door burst open and Maxon rushed to my side.

"I can't believe she's gone too. It feels like I'm losing everyone." I sobbed into his chest.

"I know, my dear." He said in a calming voice.

"What am I going to do without her?"
