RosePOV

"Liss wake up."

"Why?"

"Liss we need to leave. Come on"

"What? Why now it's the middle of the night?"

"Actually it's the middle of the human day so wake up."

"Fine," she grumbled if only she knew I hadn't even gone to bed.

"I already packed our bags now let's go"I told her as she got out of bed

We ran out of the Moroi dorms ducking guardians as we grabbed our bags from where I stashed them in the bushes by the wards. Once we got away from the Academy Lissa finally spoke.

"Where are we going" she asked

"I am not sure as far as we can get" I replied

When we got to a bus stop we got on and rode it until the last stop.

"Where are we" Lissa asked

"I don't know some town in Idaho. We should rest here it will be dark soon and we should go on a human schedule" I told her thinking that we would find more transportation when everyone was up not to mention the Strigoi.

We walked for about twenty minutes before we finally fount a motel.

"Liss what are we going to do. We don't have any money"

"I could try to compel him"

"Go for it," I told her so no one else could here me.

"You are going to give us a room. We will check out in the morning and you will forget we were here," she told him.

"Follow me. This way," he responded.

"Liss we still need some money," I reminded her

Lissa turned back to the hotel clerk "before you go give us two thousand dollars in cash and forget where the money is and that you ever saw us" she said and I instantly felt bad, but soon got over it I had to protect Lissa. Right after he left she fainted.

"Lissa you need to wake up," I said stroking her forehead.

"Blood.. I need blood," she stuttered trying to sit up

"I forgot about that," I sighed pulling down my shirt sleeve to expose my neck.

"Rose no!" Lissa exclaimed

"Liss come on its fine. And you need it you look like death," I tried to persuade her.

"Fine," she mutter walking over to me lowering her mouth to my neck. At first it hurt a little but then the endorphins kicked in and it was complete and utter bliss. When I sighed she pulled away.

"Thanks," she said

"No problem," I said I felt ashamed I know it's wrong but I really want her to bite me again. I was kicking myself inside even though I know it wasn't my fault it was the endorphins taking.

"Rose are you okay," Lissa asked again.

I realized I must still be high on the endorphins. I shook my head. "Ya I'm fine."

LissaPOV

I felt so much better after I fed, but I felt bad once I saw Rose's face she was really out of it. She had the blank look on her face that all the feeders get and I hated seeing her

like that and knowing that it was because of me made it even worse.

"Rose are you okay?" I asked. She didn't answer

"Rose are you okay?" I asked again. She was high on the endorphins and I felt really bad I didn't like seeing my best friend like this. She shook her head.

"Ya I'm fine," she said.

I was still really worried about her though I hated using my best friend for blood.

If we ever got takes back to the academy it would be horrible for us especially her. She would be called horrible things. I finally fell asleep but I really wish I hadn't. It was the dream again. My brother Andree was sitting in the back with Rose and I in the middle. Dad was driving and Mom was in the passenger seat. We were listening to the radio and we were all laughing then the next thing I knew we were hit head on by another car. Every one was dead except Rose and I we still don't know how we both survived but we think it's the same way I saved that bird. The reason why we left. The reason why we can't be found. The reason why we are running. When I woke up I was breathing heavily and Rose was already awake. We don't know how it happened but after the crash we seemed to be bonded. She can feel how feel what I am feeling and can tell what I am thinking.

"Are you okay Liss?" she asked me

"Ya just a little shaken up," I whispered holding back tears "It was so real it felt like I was reliving it again it was so horrible Rose,"

"Shhh.. I know Liss I know," she said and by then I realized I was crying.

"I'm sorry for waking you up," I apologized after I was finally able to calm down.

"It's fine Liss. Are you sure your okay?" she questioned.

"Ya go back to sleep Rose," I told her.

"No that's okay I will stay up with you."

"No Rose your exhausted and you need to sleep."

"I said I'm fine Liss."

"Rose go back to sleep," I told her lacing my voice with compulsion. I hated using it on her but she really needed to go back to sleep she was already exhausted and she has to be even more from all the blood loss and I knew she would have stayed up until I went back to sleep to make sure I was okay. Rose is just to stubborn for her own good sometimes.I decided to walk to the vending machine down the hall and get something for us to eat in the morning while Rose was sleeping because I knew she would never let me go alone if she was still awake. I got off the bed and I left the room closing the door behind me.

RosePOV

I woke up to the sound of the door closing. Wait when did I go back sleep. Then everything came flooding back to me. Trying to comfort Lissa, refusing to go back to sleep until she did,Lissa compelling me. Lissa compelled me I can't believe she did that. Wait where is she. I looked around the room.

"Liss!" I called she didn't answer.

"Lissa!" I called louder. Still no answer. God Lissa where did you go. I quickly got up and scanned the room and the bathroom. She wasn't there either. I went out into the hall and then I saw her. She was standing by the vending machine. Talking to someone.

LissaPOV

I walked out into the hall and to the vending machine. I got a bag of chips for Rose and a granola bar for myself. I turned around and came face to face with a man. He didn't look to much older than me. He was tall and slender with brown hair and dark green a human were to see him they would have no idea he was different but I know how to spot my own kind and there was no mistaking it this man was a Moroi. I still wasn't sure if he knew who I was or even that I was Moroi because he was clearly intoxicated and couldn't stand without the support of the wall. I was slightly surprised when he held out his hand "Hello," he said but it came out slurred,"my name is Randall Ivashakov," he smiled at me before continuing "And you are?"

As soon as he said that I froze I couldn't tell him who I was, but I couldn't get away from him he was blocking the way back to my room. Just when I was going to try to get past him I heard a door slam and a very angry Rose Hathaway stormed out.
