Edward, a stalker, never. He only watched Bella sleep, and other creepy things. ;)

Rose's POV
I looked back at Dimitri. He nodded, and I nodded to Eddie. Eddie and I caught up to Lissa, Christian, Adrian and Mia, while Dimitri stayed back as far guard. We were an hour late, thanks to Adrian. Despite Eddie's best efforts, Adrian had slacked off, spending ages doing his hair. They chatted away happily, and Eddie watched our surroundings carefully. Eddie nudged me suddenly, and I looked around quickly. A flicker of movement caught my eye, and I sucked in my breath. I glanced back at Dimitri, and he was scanning the area. He caught my eye and nodded. I turned around and reached into my jacket, gripping the stake I had been given before we left. There was no question about it. There was a Strigoi loose in the airport, and it was almost dark.
I dropped back to far guard as Dimitri went to investigate. He didn't trust Eddie or I to go, as a cornered Strigoi could be as dangerous as two, if not more. Dimitri crept up on the Strigoi and Eddie and I led the other out. Cars were waiting for us, and I sent Eddie off with Lis, Adrian, Mia and Christian. I waited by the car. I wasn't waiting long when Dimitri walked out. He saw me and walked over. "Hey comrade, you get him?" I asked.
Dimitri shook his head. "No, he disappeared. You did well getting the Moroi out."
I allowed myself a small smile. "Are we going to track him?"
"No use, he could be anywhere. It is a big airport."
"Oh," I said, disappointed. Dimitri opened the car door and waited for me. I was excited about the possibility of a somewhat long car ride, alone, with Dimitri. But, I was disappointed again. Dimitri seemed a little cut up about letting the Strigoi get away. I started pondering how he could have gotten away. He was so fast, I thought, remembering the way he moved.
"Is the Princess alright?" Dimitri asked. I slipped into her mind. She was worried about me and Dimitri. Eddie was standing guard, hiding his worry. Christina paced back and forth, and Adrian pulled out a cigarette. Mia watched Lissa closely. I returned to my own mind. "She's fine. They are all fine."
Chapter 5 is next. Thanks to everyone who reviewed.
