Well, I've had this idea for a while, and finally decided to make it into a story and see how it goes.

Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Academy or Twilight, no matter how much I wish I do.

Oh and just so you know, this takes place after Shadow Kiss, Dimitri was never turned; it's summer, Rose and everybody else have graduated. They are now in the royal court.

Enjoy!

It was a nice day in the Court so I was hanging out with Lissa. We both really disliked the cold, so we decided to take advantage of the warmth while it lasted. Of course, when it was finally clear and warm, I have to go on a mission to the rainiest place in the continental US.

Dimitri came running over to me earlier that day and said, "Rose, we've discovered evidence of a possible strigoi hideout in Forks, Washington," he explained. Then, just as I was about to ask why he was telling me this, he said, "They've chosen us to go and check it out, and, if the rumors are true, eliminate any strigoi. This mission could be a pretty long one."

"This could be fun. Do you know when we're leaving?"

"From what I hear, tomorrow," he said, then he gave me a kiss on the cheek and went off, my guess was to pack.

The only problem was telling Lissa about this. I knew her, and she would want to tag along, which to me, was no problem at all. In fact, I would love to have her come along. The problem was there was probably no one that would allow her to go for her safety.

"Liss, I'm going on a mission in this place called Forks, Washington with Dimitri to go investigate and handle reports of lots of strigoi living there," I said, trying to make it sound as boring as possible.

"I'm coming."

"Somehow, I thought you would say that."

"So, Rose, can I come?"

"You know that's not my call."

"Well, I know whose call it is," she said, then went off. I knew exactly what she was about to do. She used compulsion on anyone that got in the way of her, and going with us. And while she was on a role, she even managed to get Christian to be able to go along with us.

When we were all packed, we left for Forks, it was about a four hour thirty minute ride, but it would only seem like an hour and thirty minutes thanks to the time zone change.

When we arrived, we were briefed on everything we needed to know about the possible strigoi. We learned that they lived as a family, and were called the Cullens. There were nine of them, and they were all very pale, never seemed to get older, and one of our agents thought she saw one of them drinking blood.

This was going to be a fun mission.

Well, I hoped you guys liked it. There's still more to come, and I plan to update soon. I had fun writing this, so I hope it shows. It was kind of rushed though; my mom needs to use the computer. In the next chapter, the Cullen family makes their first appearance!
