"Come on guys. This is really important." I said to Christian, Rose, and Dimitri, when they didn't want to come with me to the cabin outside the school.

"Can't you just tell us what it is first, Liss?" Rose asked.

"No, not here."

"Fine let's go." Rose said after talking to Dimitri and Christian for a few minutes. We walked to the cabin in silence. When we got there i rang the recently added doorbell. Claire opens the door to my friend's surprise. And one more thing Claire is my cousin. And she was surprised also. Well, my dad had a brother that he didn't want anyone to know about for some reason, but Rose knows Claire.

"Lissa. Rose! Oh my God I haven't seen you in forever, how are you, Rose?"Claire said. "And who's the dude?"

"Which one?" Rose asked.

"That's Dimitri. she has already met- well "seen" Christian. I showed her a picture."

"Really? I don't know if i should be happy or freaked out." Christian said.

"Happy." i said then gave him a kiss.

"So are we just going to leave it and Dimitri and i just know each others names or what?"Claire asked.;

"Actually, I don't know your name." Dimitri said.

"Oh sorry, it's Claire." she said with a smile.

"Dimitri is Rose's boyfriend." i told Claire.

"Which number would he be Rose? 30, 31?" Claire said teasingly.

"She's just kidding. Right Claire?" she told Dimitri then shot Claire a nasty look.

"Whatever you need to hear." Claire said, Christian laughed and i hit him.

"What? Come on, you know it was funny." he said still laughing. Rose gave him an evil look. Then Claire started laughing.

"Relax i am kidding." Everyone was silent for several moments then Claire spoke up.

"So, Rose, Lissa tells me that you killed not one but TWO strigoi, is it true?"

"Hey! Are you saying i lied?!"

"No, but you never know who's telling the truth an-"

"Yes! It's true and Lissa never lies, you now that."

"i know i was just kidding, jeez no one can take a joke around here. Can i see the molnija marks?"
Claire asked excitedly. Rose turned around and lifted her hair revealing the marks.

"Wow. Cool." Claire said amazed.

"Yeah, cool, but painful." Rose said turning back around.

"Oh yeah, 'cause it's the tattoo with the needle right?"

"Yep, and Dimitri has seven." Rose told Claire.

"Did you really have to tell her that?" Dimitri asked Rose

"Yep." she replied

"Seven, really?!" Claire asked amazed. Dimitri turned around revealing his marks and Claire stared in aw.

"Okay Dimitri you can stop showing off now." I said and Claire came out of her daze.

"So why are you guys here anyway?" Claire asked.

"I thought you might like to meet Christian and Dimitri, and see Rose again."

"Okay any other reasons? You know the fact that i may want to talk to ever once in a while! it's kinda a forever alone feel in this place!"

"Yeah, that too." I said.

"We also brought you more food." Rose said.

"You didn't eat all of it did you, Rose?" Claire teased.

"No! Maybe just a bag of chips or two." Rose mumbled.

"Yeah right, try like four!" Christian said and Rose shot him another evil glare.

"It's okay. I don't eat much anyway." Claire said.

"Maybe we should get you a feeder, because you haven't had blood in what, three days?" I said.

"Four actually. Can't you like sneak me in or something?'

"Sure, Rose and I will lead the way." Dimitri said.
