The next morning Everyone had woken up around 10 and all packed up there things, they went into the kitchen and waited for Catherine and Grissom to come down so they could all leave.
"Where are those two?" Sara asked.
"I don't know, maybe one of us should go wake them up?" Nick suggested.
"Alright I will" Sara said since know one wanted to go up there.
Sara headed up the stair case once again and knocked on Grissom's door. There was no answer. She went over to the next door which was Catherine's and knocked on it. She tried the knob and opened the door very slowly.
"Catherine it's time." Sara began to say when she opened the door but then saw that Grissom was with Catherine in bed.
"Sara?" Catherine replied
"Yeah...umm I'll leave you guys to get dressed were all down in the kitchen so come see us once you guys are ready" Sara choked out and left
"You think she was surprised?" Gil said as he gave Catherine a kiss. He then regretted doing that, not knowing why he did in the first place.
"Yeah, but I don't mind, Gil I always wanted to tell you this and I think this is a good time.I love you" she said and turned away embarrassed about what she said.
Gil cupped her face in his hands and pulled it up so he could look into her beautiful blue eyes. He smiled and she smiled back "I love you 2 Catherine" and he kissed her again and loved the way her lips felt on his.
They got up and gathered all of the stuff they have uncovered last night about what 'she' did. They got dressed and walked down to the kitchen hand in hand smiling. Everyone was looking at them and then shrugged it off.
"You guys ready to go?" Nick asked.
"Yeah, let's leave this place," Catherine said and left the diary and jewelry box on the kitchen table along with the photo album.
They all walked out into the front foyer and took a look around one last time. Grissom put his luggage down on the floor and tried to open the door but it wouldn't budge. He kept tugging on the handle and it wouldn't open.
"Umm guys we have a problem" Grissom said as everyone turned to him.
"What is it Griss?" Sara asked.
"The door won't open"
"WHAT! They all said at once. Nick put his luggage down and walked over to the door. He tried to open it but it wouldn't.
"Great! Now what?" Warrick said.
"I think I know what's going on" Catherine said as she turned to Grissom and he understood what she was thinking.
"What!" Greg yelled.
"In the Diary that Sara and I found the girl which was me killed her parents her husband to be that she didn't want to marry and all the guests. She said that he will be waiting for his true love, which is me to return. He's locked us in because he doesn't want me to leave." Catherine explained.
Everyone looked at her confused. They turned to Grissom for a simpler explanation but he didn't have one. Just then at the foot of the stairs a young man appeared and was walking down the stairs towards them.
"Catherine I have waited so long for you to return, I have missed you so much" the man said.
"Rupert" Catherine whispered and stood there as everyone else backed off to the side amazed at what was happening.
"Come with me my love, it's time to get married" Rupert said.
"NO! I don't love you" Catherine retorted.
"Yes you do, we are meant to be together"
"No I love my true love," she said as she went and grabbed Gil. "This is my true love, this is who I Love"
"No you love me!" He said more forceful
Catherine ran into the kitchen and went and got the diary. She was searching for the picture but realized that she left it in her room. She ran up the set of stairs and ran into her room. Rupert appeared in front of her and she screamed.
"Come on Catherine you can't hide from me" Rupert said.
"I'm not hiding I'm getting something to show you that I do love Gil" Catherine said and reached for the picture on the bed. Rupert grabbed her hand and placed the wedding ring on her finger.
"Now we go get married." He said and he changed her clothes into a wedding gown.
"No look!" she said and pushed the wedding picture of her and Gil in front of his face.
Rupert let go of her hand and grabbed the picture out of her hands and looked at it. Gil, Sara, Nick, Warrick and Greg all appeared at her bedroom door and watched in amazement at what was happening. They saw Catherine in a wedding gown and Rupert looking at a picture. Gil knew what picture it was, it was the one of them married. Catherine opened up the diary and flipped to the pages she needed and read the part out to him
"True love can set you free, and that's what I am planning to do tonight. I don't love Rupert I love Joshua, I want to make my own choices and marry my true love not someone I can't even spend two minutes of my life with let alone years" Catherine said quoting from the diary with made Rupert feel sad.
"I see Catherine, you love him more then me, I'm sorry to put you through all this I shall let you leave Willows manor" Rupert replied and vanished. Catherine's wedding gown vanished and she was wearing her normal clothes again. She ripped the wedding ring off her finger and threw it across the room.
"Catherine are you okay?" Gil asked.
"Yeah, lets get out of here" Catherine said as she gave Grissom a kiss.
"Get a room" they all said at once and laughed.
Everyone went back downstairs to the door and Gil opened the door. They all got out into the fresh air. There was a van waiting there to bring them to the airport and everyone put there luggage in the back and piled in.
"So do you really mean that I'm your true love?" Catherine asked.
"You bet, let's go home" Gil said and gave her another kiss.
"I agree to that"
They all left the Willows Manor and Catherine looked behind her one last time to see her herself and her parents standing in the window-waving goodbye as the Van went out of sight.
