Hey so I am going in a different direction than I did in the past with this story. It's going to go a bit slower paced, so I can do all the things that I want to with the characters. Just a disclaimer for those who read this before.
Disclaimer:
Adrian: *Inhales* So, as always, I am planning out how to own myself, because the whole Harry Potter house elf plan didn't work out, but until that works out for me I have to say that Richelle Mead owns me and the rest of the people I know. Although the one who showers me with gifts owns the plot line.
Me: *giggles* Yay!
Rose POV (Lissa's Room)
"I think it was Mason. Who else would do that? Why would anybody else try and impersonate Mace?" I had just filled Lissa in on what happened last night in the chat room. She believed that I thought it was Mason, but was still skeptical of whether or not he could comunicate through computers. I couldn't understand why Mace would even try this. There was no way that I could be with Mason, even if he was alive. I didn't feel that way about him before he died, and he knew that.
"Rose, are you sure that somebody isn't just pulling a prank." She saw the look on my face, "Not saying that it is a very tasteful prank, but really, it's possible." Actually I had thought about this, and told her as much, but not very many people knew about me being able to see ghosts, and the ones who did wouldn't do this to me. "And what if it really is him? What are you going to do?"
"I don't know Liss, I just don't know anymore. I might not get on the chat thing anymore, that way he can't contact me." I didn't honestly think that was true, and Lissa saw through that. "Why can't we have a normal life? No death threats, no depression/spirit-craze, no ghosts, no shadow-kissed affects." I put my face into my hands. Lissa pulled me into a hug.
"Because Rose, we're too strong to have an easy life. This is the hand we're dealt for a reason, we can't wish for a better simpler life, so there's no reason to mope. This is just another bump in the road, but you have me, and Dimitri, and Adrian, and Eddie, and Christian too. I know you guys don't always get along, but still. Rose you don't have to do this alone. Really it's my fault that you saw him in the first place." She looked sullen.
"No Liss, you can't blame yourself for this. You saved my life, and I'm indebted to you forever." I stand up, "Now get up, it's my job to help you, all of my problems are minimal. And don't give me that look, if I wanted a different life I could have it." She shook her head. It kind of confused me, when I' m the one with the problem I always end up comforting her. "Now we can figure out what to do about this later, but for now, let's just talk, like the old times." I walk over to her stereo, plug in her IPod and turn on our favorite song, Cross My Heart, by Marianas Trench. We became fans of the Canadian band when we went to go see Niagara Falls two summers ago. Lissa smiled at my choice of song. We belted out the chorus when it came on. "Take me with you, I start to miss you. Take me home, I don't want to be alone tonight." The verse that came after that didn't sound like the main singer. It was a little deeper and more familiar.
"And I do want to show you, I will run to you till I can't stand on my own anymore. I cross my heart and hope to die. Cross my heart and hope to die. Cross my heart and hope to…" As it turned to the next verse the voice clicked in my mind. It was Mason. I screamed and Lissa had realized that it wasn't Mariana's Trench singing anymore. When we both stopped singing, the music stopped and Mason spoke. "Rose, I need to talk to you. Please, just listen. Leave Belikov for me! We can be together I promise. This spirit told me it was true." I screamed and unplugged the stereo. Masons Voice faded away and I ran out of the room.

BA_Russian: Princess, where is Roza? I can't find her anywhere.
Spirit_Girl18: Um, well she had a mental break down, and is on my bed right now. Sorry, but I don't think you should see her right now, I'll explain later.
Clove_Luver69: Whoa, what caused that to happen to my favorite d'hampir?
Spirit_Girl18: Mason is talking to her through anything with electricity. She's not crazy because I heard it too… and it's not me because we heard the same thing.
Clove_Luver69: Cousin, I'm crazy too, I believe you, so don't get so defensive.
BA_Russian: Are you sure that she is okay?
Spirit_Girl18: Yes Dimitri I am. Adrian you're not crazy if I'm not.
Clove_Luver69: That's called denial and we both are. Sorry Cousin.
Spirit_Girl18: Whatever Adrian, she's waking I've got to go.
