Heey, this is just an idea I had while I was at work. Let me know what you think.

I was washing dishes at work, of course that was my job. I was a dishwasher at Flipino Restaurant. I'd been working there for about three months. I didn't mind the job, I'd gotten used to getting my hands dirty. And to the fact that as long as I worked at Flipino, I wouldn't be able to paint my nails. Which was unfortunate but I would survive... somehow.

I was fifteen years old and living in Edmonton, Alberta. I have lived there all my life, my parents didn't like moving around. I have been living in the same house since I was born. My name is Rose Hathaway, by the way, I have long brown - black hair and brown eyes and I have a slight tan.

I was in the kitchen (of course) which was not the biggest kitchen in the world. There was a back door to get in for all the employees to come through the restaurant which leads right into the kitchen. The chef's side is the first thing you see. The stove, oven and the microwave, a few counters and a few refrigerators are the first things you see. Walking past all that is where I was working; in the dish pit. The kitchen was shaped into a U, with the way the appliances had been put, but was easy to get around, especially when it was busy. But tonight the restaurant was not busy which was weird considering Flipino was one of the most popular restaurants in Edmonton. No one goes out for dinner on a Sunday night. I ended up just standing there doing nothing because there was only so much I could clean.

"Alright Rose, you can go home. We aren't going to be any busier tonight." the chef Fiona said. Fiona was really tall and had blonde hair. Her eyes were weird , they were green but it always looked like she was wearing contacts even though she insists she's not. Her skin was pale, but she said she was trying to work on getting a tan.

I looked back at her, sighed and nodded. I walked over to the office to grab my bag and then to the bathroom to change into my regular clothes. The office was across the hall from the kitchen. It wasn't that big, but it was big enough to fit all the paperwork in the business and hold everyone's bags etc. I walked to the bathroom which was at the end of the hall, about four feet away from the office and kitchen. I was now wearing short shorts and a tank top. I walked back into the kitchen to see three men standing at the back door. Dimitri Belikov was one of them. Dimitri was freakishly tall, like I mean freakishly tall, about 6'6. He had brown hair that went down to about his chin and his eyes were chocolate brown eyes and they were gorgeous. Dimitri worked at Flipino as well, but it was his day off. What was he doing here? And who were the two guys with him? All three of the men were looking at me.

One guy stepped forward, he had brown hair and brown eyes. "Rose Hathaway?" he asked.

I nodded my head slowly and looked at Dimitri for some answers.

"My name is Stan Alto." the guy, Stan said. "We need to talk. Please let's go somewhere."

Fiona looked at me, "Rose, do you know who these people are?"

"I looked at her and then back at Dimitri. His eyes seemed to say that I should say yes. As if he heard my thought, he nodded his head. "Y-yes," I cleared my throat. "Yes, Fiona I know who they are." I walked forward and before I followed the guys out the door. I said goodbye to everyone at work.

I was walking beside Dimitri, who might I add was walking fairly quickly. We were walking down the parking lot behind the restaurant. It was a gravel road and was packed with parked cars; trees surrounded the parking lot, making it look like a jungle at nighttime. I sometimes wished we had trails like this parking lot because it would be nice to jog in the early morning and at nighttime. I looked at Dimitri, but ended up looking at nothing. Dimitri had caught up with Stan and the other guy. I ran up to Dimitri and grabbed his arm. He looked at me and got out of my grasp and continued to walk at the same pace. I had to run to catch up with him again. This time I grabbed his arm and pulled him back, forcing him to slow down.

He was looking at me, waiting for me for some response to why I grabbed his arm. "Dimitri, what is going on here? Who are they?" I whispered. I was actually a little afraid of what Dimitri had gotten me into.

"It's a long story, but you'll understand soon." he whispered back. I gave him an are-you-serious-look, and rolled my eyes. He smiled and shrugged his shoulders. The two men were in front of us, they had slowed their pace down but obviously didn't want to be outside when it was dark. "Just wait until we are in a more public place."

I looked at him confused and had no doubt that face showed that. Dimitri just laughed quietly. I was ready to stick my tongue out at him when I heard footsteps coming from behind us and they were moving quickly towards us. "Did you hear that?" I asked to no one in particular.

The two men turned around as if they were just hearing the footsteps, I could see Dimitri looking behind us as well. I looked where everyone else was looking and saw three men appear out of no where. Well I guess they came from the trees. We were still in the parking lot, no one could see us. If we had walked about twenty more feet we would be on a road.

These men did not look friendly. I had to do a double take to realize that they were chalk white and had...red eyes. What the hell? Was I loosing it or was I seeing things? Stan and his partner pulled out a weapon that looked like a stake. Again what the hell?

Dimitri immediately put himself in front of me to protect me. Stan and his partner were fighting, but there was one red-eyed chalk white freak person and he was walking towards us.

Wait, he was walking but somehow got to us in the blink of an eye. "What the hell?" I muttered to myself.

Dimitri pushed me back and was preparing to fight the guy. The red-eye person threw a punch and I'm surprised I even saw it, he was really fast. But Dimitri was almost as fast and blocked the punch and kicked the red-eye guy in the stomach. He stumbled back from the kick and lunged towards Dimitri. Dimitri dodged it but just barely, and his shoulder got hit. I screamed in fear. The red-eye guy looked at me and smiled an evil smile. Dimitri was distracted from my scream and didn't see the red-eye guy. He threw Dimitri into a tree, back first. He fell to the ground and did not move.

"Dimitri!" I screamed. I looked at him frantically and looked at the red-eye guy. He was advancing towards me. Oh God, I knew how to fight but I couldn't fight this guy. If Dimitri couldn't there was no way I could. He was right in front of me and had...fangs?

He was just about to attack, until he screamed bloody murder. His eyes faded and he fell to the floor. He was...dead. I looked up to see Stan, he had that stake in his hand, but it was covered in blood. Who were these people? What had Dimitri gotten me into? Dimitri - his name was like a bucket of cold water on my face.

I ran to where Dimitri was. He was laying on the ground. I knelt down beside him, his eyes were closed. He wasn't breathing either, he can't be dead.

"Rose," Stan touched my shoulder. I couldn't take my eyes off of Dimitri. He was gone. "I'm sorry but he's gone. We must go now."

I looked at him like he was crazy. Well he might as well have been for all I knew and him saying that didn't help. "WHAT! Are you insane! We have to go the police!" I was on the verge of being hysterical.

"I'm sorry but we are not going to the police. They will not be useful, they'll just cause more trouble. We need to go now." He had a very serious look on his face.

I looked down at Dimitri. His face was pale and lifeless. I knew I shouldn't have, it wouldn't help me to get over Dimitri, but I grabbed his hand. A few tears fell down my face. Them the weirdest feeling came over me. It was a warm sensation of joy and happiness and everything that is good in the world. It was an amazing feeling. Then somehow Dimitri;s eyes opened and he was staring into my eyes.

"How?" the other guy muttered.

"She wields the element of spirit. She saved him Yuri, and by doing that it brought him back from the dead." Stan told Yuri. That was a weird name.

I couldn't speak for a second, I was at loss for words. When I found my voice, I hardly recognized it. "What the fuck is going? You two are going to explain this right now! I want answers now!" I was practically yelling at them. How dare they? How dare they do this to me? They ruined my perfectly normal life. They got Dimitri killed - or injured - or whatever the hell happened. I was going to make these two pay for what they did. I was glaring at them. "Why won't you answer me! I asked you to fucking explain what is going on? Give me some damn answers!" I screamed at them.

They both seemed shocked at my outburst. Some part of me knew I was overreacting but I was pissed. They needed to know how I felt. They needed to pay for what they did.

I started shaking uncontrollably, until someone grabbed my arm. I looked at see Dimitri holding my arm. "Rose calm down. They will explain everything. Just calm down. Everything will be okay."

I looked at him like he was crazy. Didn't he understand that Stan and Yuri had to pay for what they did to us. They wrecked two perfectly normal lives. They killed him, how could he not be mad.

"Rose," Stan said nervously. I looked at him and if looks could kill, he'd be dead. " You are the last of your royal line. That last Hathaway in the Moroi World. You are a royal princess."

I passed out.

So theres the first chapter. Review and let me know what you think. Should I continue this story?
