Claudia was slowly drifting off to sleep beside Alex as he watched TV, her cheek resting on his shoulder and both her hands curled possessively on his arm. She cracked open an eye and whined softly when he stood up but made no move to stop him. She watched his back as he stepped out of the room before she snuggled towards his side of the bed, his scent on it making her smile contentedly. She was almost fully asleep when she heard a scruffle coming from outside the house. She immediately sat up, wide awake and alert. She remained silent, letting her enhanced hearing tell her what's happening. When she heard Alex yell, she was immediately on her feet. The house may still be unfamiliar to her but following Alex's scent led her to the shed out back. When she got there, her eyes fell on a crying Lucinda and the male original...she hasn't met him yet but she heard his name being mentioned a couple of times. Garrett. He had been decapitated. Alex was no where in sight. 

Not wanting to intrude into something that she's not supposed to, she hung back several feet away and silently watched.

Even when Alex and the rest of the family came to the shed, Claudia still hung back and remained silent. She may be with Alex but she doesn't consider herself a part of this family. A few minutes later, she turned and walked away. It was the decent thing to do, to give them time alone with each other. Hearing Tabitha's anguished words made her feel like she was eavesdropping on something that should only be kept within the family.
