So, was the last chapter any good? I had to end it there because 'Ye Old Momster' was about to turn the Wi-Fi Hotspot off, since our lights are still cut off cause of the Hurricane. Well, back to Rose!

The kiss was chaste and sweet but full of passion. After we broke off for air I heard a couple gasps, seeing as I only woke up about a few hours ago, and we had already kissed. And I was pretty sure my mouth formed an 'O' shape. Christian smiled at me a bit, but went into full fledged smirk. I shook my head and punched his arm lightly. He chuckled, as we headed to the Dean's office.
"Secretary Rinaldi." Christian drawled. I frowned, and then looked up, seeing an older version of Mia. She was around Dimitri's age. The woman grinned and chuckled.
"'Lo, Rose. My name is Adrienne. And I told you, Ozera, it's Secretary Zelkos." She said with a nod of her head. "I'm currently stationed here as your link to our world. I'm Mia's older sister." She said.
"Um...okay...?" I said. She chuckled again, and looked up at Christian, raising a brow.
"We needs to see Abe. Right now." He stretched the words as far as possible.
"Um. Okay?" She said, echoing my statement. She dialed a number and began speaking in Turkish. Well shit, she called the old man, Abe himself.
"Ibrahim? Rosemarie needs a flight to Baia. Yes, yes, I know she's not allowed off campus. Speaking of, did you make sure she was alright? She woke up around three hours ago." Andrea stated. I heard a surprised tone on the other end. Guess he forgot I was in Cardiac Arrest. I sighed as she continued speaking. She told me that we'd be able to fly to Baia in a few weeks, since it was close to New Years. I sighed and relayed it to Christian, who suggested we find some things for me to wear.
As we headed to the car Andrea arranged for me, I wondered how I was going to pay for this stuff.
"Oh, Adrian left an emergency card under the name of Ky Steele. It's platinum." He said. My eyes widened as I took it.
"Really? Holy hell, this is awesome! Lissa would..." I trailed off, saying my former best friend's name. I tasted like dust in my mouth, and I wished I never mentioned her. Chis frowned and gave me a hug, awkwardly wrapping his arm around my shoulder. I giggled at him and shook my head. We walked to the car and headed off.
We were going to a city called Westwood, though I wasn't really paying attention to the scenery. Christian and I had my earphones in our ears, and were currently listening to Womanizer, by Britney Spears. Christian was snickering to a picture of me in my early years, with a plate of spaghetti over Adrian's head, when he was like, 8 and I was 5. I would always be a troublemaker.
The next picture was a picture of Lissa, Andre, Rhea and Eric. My breath caught in my throat as a whimper sounded out of me. I squeezed my eyes shut and shook my head. When I woke up, I'd be with Lissa, joking about how Mason's hair caught fire once, and we didn't notice for a whole hour. I opened my eyes but found myself with Christian looking worriedly in my face.
*For the first time in a long time, I dropped all my guards and allowed myself to feel raw emotion as I sobbed into the hollow of his neck. Only days earlier, Lissa had been in the exact same position as I, and I had Christian's spot.*
"Sh, it's okay, Rosie." He said in a calming way. The driver didn't acknowledge us, but put the privacy window up. I sniffled and laughed a bit, as I noticed that. Christian smiled softly, and I put my head in his lap, yawning a bit. The driver said it would be a while before we got to Westwood, as she was also doing errands for the Dean and Secratary. I nodded, curling up and falling asleep in Chris' lap.

I smiled as I heard Rose's breath even out. I stroked her hair softly as I thought about the few hours we just spent together. I also saddened at any mentioned of my ex, and had no wishes to reminisce. She had curled up into a ball on my lap and her eyes fluttered every few moments. She looked a bit pained, and I swear she gasped and growled in her sleep. I furrowed my brow, as she began fidgeting and spazzing. She sat up in a cold sweat, looking around like she wouldn't believe her eyes.
"Get off! Get off!" She screamed, scratching at her clothes. Her eyes looked foggy and I looked concerned as she screamed in pain. I yelled at the driver to stop at the nearest store, which was right where we were headed. A suspicious voice, Lissa's in fact, came out of her mouth.
(Mia. Lissa.)
"They say that I can't speak with Rose anymore. I'm not allowed to alert Moroi as to where she is." Lissa said sadly.
"Well, she does have a bounty over her head. You'd just sell her out." Mia said bluntly.
"Talk about blunt. You're supposed to console me!" Lissa said jokingly.
"Nope, I state cold hard facts. Also, my sister works at UCLA. You'll get mail from Rose under the name of Ky Steele. You'll respond back under the alias, Kale Steele. You're supposed to sound like siblings." Mia said, sounding jolly.
"Really? Oh thank god! I really need to tell her I'm sorry.." Lissa trailed off.
"I know. She actually set the whole thing up when she found out about the Bounty. You've got registered pictures, and everything." Mia said.
The 'call' ended, and Rose crumpled into herself just as the driver opened the door. He looked at me like I was nuts and I just shook my head, shooing him away.
"Rose? Get up, Hathaway." I said. Rose looked around, looking at her clothes, which were ripped. I sighed, and opened my booksack, which had mens jeans, a button up and a black hoodie. I gave them to her and she began changing as soon as I closed the door again. She took her ripped red shirt off and put the hoodie on, not even bothering to put the button up on. She changed into the jeans and shoved the shirt into her back pocket.
"D'you have tennis in there too?" She asked slyly. I chuckled, and gave her the knee high converse that had just arrived at the school today. They were shipping bits and pieces of her wardrobe from Turkey, Baia, Montana and Cali.
Rose laughed and put them on, pulling the hood up on the jacket, putting a pair of sunglasses on and getting out. Now, most people's guardians would have a fit if they had to change outfits in front of their Moroi, but Rose and I are childhood friends. Our parents were-are-great friends. We took baths together when we were younger. I chuckled at the thought and then raised a brow.
"Rose? Who's the Zelkos Andrea married?" I asked. Rose kept tabs on the Zelkos, to see if Jesse had miraculously died. Never did. She put her finger on her chin, thinking, then came to a realisation.
"Ivan Zelkos." Rose said, with a triumhant grin. She quickly tugged the hoodie off and gave it to me, putting the button up on but not...buttoning it up.
"Really? Since when?" I asked. Dimitri had always told us about his old charge Ivan, but didn't tell us this.
"Remember when Dimitri left for like, a month, to go to Russia? He went to his wedding. He was his best man." Rose said. She pulled her phone out, and showed me a picture of Ivan and Adrienne kissing. I chuckled, wondering why Dimitri would take a picture of that.
We walked into the mall, turning into a store called Forever 21, and guess who we ran in to?
Sydney-Fucking-Sage.
Good? Bad? Maybe? My lights are finally back on. (Notice, this is finished two days after I started writing it.) Four things, though! Well, the fourth is for my anime watchers...about a NEW STORY.
1- The part with asterisks (The stars (*) BTW) is from the book 'Once Bitten' of the Alexa O'Brien series. Wanted to put that out there.
2- I've ressurected people! xD Ivan, Moira, and Eric (Well, I mentioned them..but they're alive!)
3- Sydney and Rose have a bad reputation. You'll find that out in the next chapter. Three POVS of the same Flashback. Chrissy, Sydney then Rose.
4- ANIME LOVERS! I'm thinking of either making a Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler), Kaze No Stigma, Angel Beats!, Dance In The Vampire Bund, Ouran High School Host Club or Baka and Test FF. Vote in the poll!
