Dear Diary,

I rescued you from the cedar chest that came here with me upon my return from the UK. I shall read back through someday, but I just cannot right this moment. It has been many years. So. Many. Long. Years.

With the dust blown free of these pages, I do so with the manor's forgotten rooms and my own life. Metaphorically starting a new chapter will be terribly hard, but I have managed to get this far in somewhat one piece. Hiding within these walls built generations ago and passed down through my family, I have yet to know more than the library, kitchen and my bedroom.

The crews come in a few days to.start cleaning and tending to the neglected property. I hope that with the restored beauty this beast once held brought back to light, it will cast rays onto my own life.

I must go, Nova is meowing for her dinner and the maid just threw open the curtains. The dust is making me stuffy, the light dull through the windows.

It is time to breech this prison of a house I call home.

-Calista-

Dear Diary,

I haven't been too terribly busy as of late. I am still waiting for the cleaning crews to dust, purge and clear out the many rooms. The latest one was the ballroom. The old grand piano is still in there as I remember it as a little girl. When we took the dustcloth off of it, the old girl gleamed like my aunt had just polished it that morning. It made my heart ache remembering the days when she used to give me lessons during the summers I stayed here.

I brought you with me to camp so that I can log the events here. Thankfully I can check on the progress at the manor and have Lydia there to fill in the blanks. I cannot wait for it to be restored to its former glory. Hopefully before falls end I may have a gala like the old times. What a sight it will be to see Redthistle Estate warm and alive again with activity!

I must go now, my lantern is burning low and tomorrow is a long day of activities and children to keep herded up.

-Cal

Dear Diary,

More changes. The manor and grounds are completed as far as renovation. I, myself, have realized that my own resurrection has not yet been completed. I thought that perhaps I was on the right track, but I was wrong.

If there is one thing that meeting and romping with a werewolf has taught me, is that not everything is meant to be, nor will it last forever. I am not sure where he has gone, but I know where I am going.

Despite fixing up the old family estate and trying my best to set down some sort of roots here, my real calling is not here in Arkham. There are too many hard memories and the estate haunts me daily with them. I shall take some of the books to the local bookstore as I had planned.

I will be moving back to the UK country estate that Mathias and I shared those years ago. Though it is also heavy with memories, they are at least warm and happy ones. Then, perhaps, my son can come and be safe with me. That is also a wish, but at least there will be someone to keep me company. Wishes are what I have right now to keep me grounded.

Its time for a run.
