Jayne: Why the hell haven't you updated? And what's up with the italics?
Me: Okay, as for the italics, I'm changing something. There's going to be narraration, from both Rose and Dimitri's points of views. Rose's with be in italics, while Dimitri's will be bolded.
Jayne: Okay, what about updating?
Me: SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry about that.
Jayne: but why haven't you?
Me: Again, SOOOOOOO sorry I haven't updated in so long. I just got on break from school, and so I'll be updating more often, but not as often as I'd like because my mom is a computer hog and I'm too dirt poor to go and fix my laptop. Like literally, dirt poor! I hate it, but you have to take what you get.
Jayne: That's not any excuse!! UD more!! I like these stories!
Me: Fine, fine, I'll try.
Jayne: ROFLYSST!!!
Me: ?
Jayne: Rolling on floor laughing yet somehow still typing.
Me: Oh. What was that about?
Jayne: just reading our convo again.
Me: Oh, yeah, that was funny. It's even funnier reading it from an outsider point of view.
Random Person: What convo?
Jayne: SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! I'M READING!!!
Me: if you want to know, check out the convo I posted called IM's. It's pretty cool, I guess.
Random Person: kk
Me: READ!!!
Chapter Three: Hook, Line, and Sinker
Sometimes you have to grin and bear it. This isn't one of those times. Nope, I have to grimace and bear it.
"Don't put those two together. Five minutes together and they'll come up with an escape plan," Dimitri told the guardians as they stepped into the plane. Rose and Lissa stopped plotting possible escapes and glared at him.
Another guardian came up and took Rose by the arm, leading her to the back of the plane as Dimitri grabbed Lissa and took her to the front. Lissa gave Rose a desperate look, and Rose just shrugged and sat down.
You see that look on my face? (camera focuses on Rose's face) That's the face of a shadow-kissed guardian. The blank look means I'm currently inside my best friend's head, experiencing her feelings. Don't ask me what any of this means, because I don't know, but it comes in handy sometimes. Other times… well, it can be a huge pain in the ass. Like when she has a nightmare? I wake up before she even screams. I can feel her fear.
Rose suddenly pulled back into her own head and pulled out her mp3 player—one that looked suspiciously like a silver iPod, but we can't be sure because of copyright reasons—and put on Sweet Dreams by Beyonce.
Turn the lights on Clouds filled with stars cover the skies You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare I wish that when I wake up you're there Clouds filled with stars cover the skies You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Every night I rush to my bed
With hopes that maybe I'll get a chance to see you
When I close my eyes I'm going out of my head
Lost in a fairytale, can you hold my hands and be my guide?
And I hope it rains, you're the perfect lullaby
What kinda dream is this?
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your love's too good to be true
(Turn the lights on)
My guilty pleasure, I ain't going no where
Baby long as you're here I'll be floating on air
'Cause you're my
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you
I mention you when I say my prayers
I wrap you around all of my thoughts
Boy you're my temporary high
To wrap your arms around me for real
And tell me you'll stay by side
And I hope it rains, you're the perfect lullaby
What kinda dream is this?
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your love's too good to be true
(Turn the lights on)
My guilty pleasure, I ain't going no where
Baby long as you're here I'll be floating on air
'Cause you're my
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you
Tattoo your name across my heart so it will remain
Not even death can make us part
What kind of dream is this?
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your love's too good to be true
(Turn the lights on)
My guilty pleasure, I ain't going no where
Baby long as you're here I'll be floating on air
'Cause you're my
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you
Just as the song ended Rose looked up to see Dimitri ending a phone call.
"Yes ma'am. Yes, be sure to tell Ms. Dashkov, she was worried. Yes. Thank you. We'll be there soon." Dimitri closed the phone and met Rose's confused gaze. She quickly looked away as he stood up, coming to switch places with the guardian next to her. She looked pointedly out the window, ignoring him.
Dimitri broke the silence.
"Were you really going to attack all of us?"
She didn't answer.
"Doing that…protecting her like that—it was very brave." He paused. "Stupid, but still brave. Why did you do it?"
Rose glanced over at him, brushing her hair out of my face so she could look him levelly in the eye. "Because I'm her guardian." She turned back toward the window.
After another quiet moment, he stood up and returned to the front of the jet.

(This is the second chapter, but where it was supposed to be. You don't have to read, but it would be nice since I finally put it where I wanted it.)
The girl walked across the hard, frozen ground swiftly. Her caramel colored hair was tied into a tight bun, and the eye make-up she had on made her already striking-blue eyes even more noticeable. She was tall and pale, and the moonlight glistened eerily off of her skin. The boots she had on only made her taller.
After a couple minutes, she stopped in front of a long, flat stone building. She pulled open one of the large oak doors and looked in. No one was there. She smiled and walked in, softly closing the door behind her, her smile fading already.
Darkness enclosed the building, but the girl did not seem to notice and she walked purposefully toward a small door to the left of the long, narrow hallway. She opened the door and headed down the stairs that revealed themselves when she did. She put on a tight-lipped smile as she descended the last stair into a large, comfortable room. A huge bed took up most of the space, but the girl could see a man waiting for her in the far corner. It was so dark that she couldn't see any of his features, but she could hear his labored breathing and the tap of his cane on the stone floor as he waited impatiently. She grimaced slightly and approached him.
"Of what do I owe the pleasure, daughter?" He asked in a grizzled voice.
She flinched slightly at the title, but smiled, for real this time. "I have just gotten word that the Princess and her friend have been captured. The school is bringing them in now from Portland."
The man thought for a second. "Really?" He laughed harshly. "Portland, huh? I guess the psi-hounds just missed them then."
The woman nodded seriously. "They just barely got away."
He grunted. "Thank you for the update. Now we can finally put our plan into action."
She smiled. "That we can"
She turned around and headed back to the stairs, but stopped at the bottom and turned back to the man. She took a deep breath. "I won't fail this time, father. I swear to it."
He grinned evilly. "Of course you won't. No one wants to turn Strigoi for a family member, but I trust that even if you don't succeed, you will do as I say." He glared at her, as though daring her to contradict him.
She shuddered, but smiled all the same. "Of course." She turned back to the stairs. "If I don't succeed."
She left to the sound of laughter.

Okay, so another really short one. I am so sorry about that, I'm just having a lot of trouble writing. It took me five days off and on to finish this because I'm never aloud on the computer. Please forgive me and review. The more I get, the faster I type, and therefore the more I get done in the short time I'm aloud the computer.
