Ian was still outside when the sun started to rise. He heard shuffling of feets inside of the house when he heard quick hoofs on the stone making fast click-clack noises. "What the-." Ian turned around and saw Kieran running towards our house. He neighed. "Fiona!" Ian said as he stormed inside the house Fiona looked confused. "Ian, what are you yelling about it is 6:30? And why were you outside?" Ian grabbed his sisters wrist and pulled her outside. "Kieran?" The white horse looked up from where it was eating his hay. "No way? Where is Lip!?" She sounded upset. "Fiona!" Debbie said as she walked outside with a broken brush in her hand and her hair a mess. "My bru-..." She stopped talking when she saw the horse. "Lip's back?" She asked. "Not really no." Ian said. Debbie looked like she was about to cry when Ian said that. "No Debbie don't cry, I will go search for him okay?" Ian said trying to calm his sister down when tears started to fall from her eyes.
Ian crouched down in front of Debbie. Debbie now taller then Ian looked down and their eyes met. "Debs, I'm gonna search him and get him back okay?" Ian said seriously to Debbie. "Promise?" Debbie asked in a small voice. "Promise." Ian said as he wiped her tears from her cheek. "Fi?" Ian asked when he stood tall again. Fiona, who had said nothing all the time turned her face towards him. "I promise." Ian said again.

Ian changed his clothes into blue pants, a white dress shirt and black boots. He made his way downstairs and saw everyone else was sitting at the dinning table eating breakfast. Fiona gave Ian some bread to eat now and a small bag to eat while he was on his way. "Thanks. I'll be back in the evening." He said and he hugged Fiona and ruffled through his younger siblings hair. He put his cloak around his shoulders and the red head made his way outside towards Kieran. He saddled Kieran up and mounted the horse. "Take me to Lip." Ian said. Hopefully this won't be a long journey.

Oh boy what was he wrong. He had been searching for hours and the afternoon sun was shining through the trees. Kieran was walking slowly, seems like he didn't have much energy. Ian didn't blame him.
Ian felt like they were getting closer. He didnt know why he just felt it. They got by a split where a fallen tree was blocking the left way so they went right. They were a few minutes on the road when it started snowing. "Snow?" Ian said confused. Then he saw something else in the snow, paw prints. Wolves. Ian had read something about that wolves were active at night but that didnt decrease his fear. What if Lip got attacked by wolves? What if Lip died? He couldn't break his promise to Debbie and Fiona. Ian made Kieran walk a little faster because Ian wasn't so comfortable.
When they neared the end of the road Ian saw the carriage. This is where Kieran escaped Ian thought. On the left of the cliff was a small way to go down the cliff and they took that way and once down the cliff they walked further. Then Ian spotted a tower, somewhere between the trees. A building? In the middle of nowhere?
They got closer and Ian saw it was a castle, it looked old and kinda creepy.
Ian ignored the fact that it looked creepy and they continued their way through the garden towards the big oak doors. Ian dismounted Kieran and tied he leash nearby the smalls table so Kieran could reach the water, which he happily gulped down. Ian sighed a nervous sigh and opened the big door. "Lip?" Ian said and he heard his echo through the castle hall. "Hello?" He said again. Nothing. Strange. He walked up the big stairs slowly. Then he heard someone cough. He recognised the cough. Which probably sounds weird. But he knew who it was. Lip. Ian ran up the stairs towards the coughing, which was in one of the towers Ian spotted early. He had to run up some big stairs. Once all up the stairs he saw his brother in one of the cells. He looked awful. He was sick. "Lip!" Ian said as he ran to Lip's cell. "Ian, go away. It's not safe here. He is a monster." Lip said. "There are no such thing as monsters you know that. Now let me get you out of here." Ian said.

Meanwhile Mandy and Veronica heard the red head calls for his brother and followed him to the cells quietly to see what will happen. "Maybe he is the one." Veronica mumbled.
