"Love Fades, Mine Has."

Those were the words the bounced around Rose Hathaway's head even to this day, five years after they were said to her. At the moment Rose was in the band bus on the way to the next concert, they had just released their new album and were on tour.

She had met her band mates either on her way to Russia or in Russia. First she met Andrew Parker on her way to Russia. He was a dhampir and left the Moroi world about a year before she did and has been traveling the world. He doesn't talk much about his past, says it's behind him. But Rose can see it in his eyes sometimes that the past isn't as behind him as he thinks, but she won't push him to talk. Andrew is tall with hazel eyes, brown hair, and well built. In the band Andrew plays the drums, and he also helps decide on where we go.

When Rose was in Russia she met Erin Smith. Erin is also a dhampir but her parents left the vamp world when she was young, but Erin still doesn't like that world for what it has done to Andrew and Rose. Erin is about Rose's height with black hair, and dark blue eyes. In the band Erin plays the piano and bass guitar.

Rose then met Caden Jackson not to long after Erin. Caden is human but knows a lot about vamp society. Caden is about an inch taller then Andrew with blonde hair and green eyes. Caden plays the guitar and bass when Erin has to play piano. When that happen Rose will play the guitar and sing.

Rose does most of the song writing, sometimes the others will help but that hardly happens. They all helped pull Rose from her lowest point and helped her get back on her feet. Rose had spent her first year away drunk and hardly remembers any of it. On her second year away the others heard her sing and thought they should make a band, but Rose had to clean up her act before they did anything. It took them a little less then a year to get their name out there but they did it and they've been traveling ever since. Rose still has her bad days were she think about going back to the bottle but she tries not to think to much about that stuff.

Rose is in the back of the bus writing down random lyrics that may be a song later. She didn't realize the bus had come to a stop until some one touched her shoulder.

"We're here Rose." said Caden.

"You going to tell me were here is?" Rose asked gathering her things.

"You're not going to like it." said Caden not meeting her eyes.

"We're at Court." said Caden with his head down.

"What?!" Rose yelled jumping up and going off to find Andrew.

Rose found him at the front of the bus reading some book.

"Why didn't you tell me we were coming here?" said Rose sitting next to him.

"Because I knew that if you knew you wouldn't have wanted to come. We will only be here for a week, you can do it." said Andrew looking her in the eye.

"You could've at least told me before we got here so I could prepare myself mentally." Rose complained.

"Well we're here so there's no going back, unless you want to tell the Queen that's why we can't preform here." Andrew said.

"Sure I'll tell her that the lead singer hates this place and swore to herself never to return here again, so The Forgotten will not be playing here nor will they ever." said Rose throwing her arms around to make her point.

"Well you have fun telling Queen Vasilisa that." said Andrew.

"Queen who?" asked Rose.

"Queen Vasilisa Dragomir." said Andrew like it was no big deal. "Do you know her or something?"

"You could say that. You know the Lissa person that I told you about?" asked Rose.

"Yeah but wha-" Andrew stopped, it all clicked.

"Yeah they're the same person." said Rose.

"I'm sorry Rose." Andrew said.

"It's okay I would've had to have come back sooner or later." Rose said. "Of course I would have preferred the later but you can't win them all."

They sat there for a second longer before both getting up and getting off the bus. Everyone was standing outside the bus waiting for us.

"We have to go see the Queen before we can go to our rooms and settle in." said Erin.

"Lets go!" Caden said jumping ahead of everyone.

"He doesn't know were he's going." said Erin.

Caden comes bounding back to us.

"I don't know were I'm going." he says. Everyone laughs.

"Rose you are the most familiar with this place you lead the way." said Andrew.

"Fine but you have to remember that's been five years since I've been here." Rose said leading the way.

"I doubt that they've done that much changing. They hardly ever change anything around here." said Andrew.

Two Hours Later

"I thought you knew where you were going." said Caden.

"I never said that, you guys are the ones that voted me leader. Why don't we just ask someone where to go?" asked Rose.

"Sure as soon as we find someone." said Erin.

The group walked around for another thirty minutes before they ran into a guardian. It just so happened that the guardian was sent out to find them. They walked quietly as the guardian lead them to the Queen's office. The place was beautiful and has hardly changed a bit in the last five years.

When the group got there they were quickly let in.

"Hello, please have a seat. I'm sorry you got lost, a guardian was supposed to be waiting for you when you arrived." said Vasilisa as she sat back in her chair.

"We'll stay standing if you don't mind, we've been sitting for a long time." said Andrew.

Rose stood closer to the door behind the others so Lisa didn't see her.

"That's fine. We have made arrangements for you in the guest housing, do you need someone to show you the way?" asked Vasilisa as she handed them the keys to their rooms.

Andrew looked back at Rose as if asking if she knew where she was going, she nodded.

"I think we can find it, thanks." said Andrew.

"Okay, if you need anything just ask the person in the lobby and they can get it for you. You guys have the rest of the day to yourselves and you can start rehearsals tomorrow if you want." said Vasilisa.

The group made there way out but Rose didn't get out fast enough. As she left Rose heard Lisa take in a deep breathe.

"Rose?"
