Enjoy and review please ty :D


Adrian swayed towards me, his hazy white eyes never left mine and finally he passed out on me. "Adrian?" I patted his cheek, a few minutes later. "Come on, Adrian. Wake up!" I slapped him, he groaned and blinked a couple of times at me. "Rose, it's bad, you have to save her" he gasped. Christian came rushing back into the room, I sucked in air ready to yell at him, but he'd brought Alberta and Stan along with him.

"Rose, what in the world is going on here?" Stan went to Adrian's side to examine him. "I'm fine" he waved him off, I helped him onto the couch. "What did you see?" Christian leaned closer towards him. "I'm not too sure, it wasn't really a dream, it was more like a vision of Lissa. I was sort of in her head, but yet I wasn't. She's alone in a pitch black room, crying for Rose and Christian, I heard a familiar voice talking outside, I swear I've heard it somewhere before. Then all of a sudden, there was this girl's voice, it was annoyed and they were aimed at me, I felt like I was burning, the pain was excruciating, the next thing I remember is Rose waking me up" he looked shocked. "Your eyes were white, your face went pale, I panicked" I came back from the kitchen with a glass of water for him. "Thanks, babe" he smiled a little.

"Lord Ivashkov, did you see or hear anything around you that might help locate Lissa?" Alberta asked. "No, well I heard was howling wind, it was cold"

"Why didn't you bond work though?" Christian raised an eyebrow at me. "Maybe it's working, as Adrian said, its pitch black, which might be why I couldn't see anything" everyone nodded a little, unsure.

"But did you feel how scared she was? Has she spoken to you through the bond?" Christian prompted. "No…" we sat in silence. Stan left to inform Kirova of this and strengthen the school's wards. "Wait, what if they had some sort of spirit user with them? Once Lissa and I read about this spirit user who could force people out of their heads" Adrian ran around the room, searching. He pulled his laptop out and went on a bookmarked page. "See"

"Avery Lazar?" Alberta's eyes widened. "She was admitted to a mental asylum a few months ago, because she was showing signs of insanity" she added. "How do you know this?" I asked, curiously. "Her father was trying to admit her into the academy along with her brother and guardian but Kirova turned them down because of their history"

"That might've been the voice Adrian heard" Christian started heading for the door. "Where do you think you're going, Romeo?" I crossed my arms. "Where else? To find Lissa" he mumbled. "Where do you plan on starting?" this time Adrian spoke. "I'll find a way, aight?" he sighed. "Come back" I hurried after him, Adrian followed behind me. I grabbed Christian's arm "Stop" he stopped and a tear flowed down his cheek, he turned and looked away. "Christian, we have to work together to find her, I don't think Lissa wants you running on a wild goose chase after her"

He stone cold glare was on me. "Hey, man" Adrian tried to reason with him. "Don't" he jerked both our arms off him and started running down the hallway. "Fuck" I muttered under my breath. "Adrian, I don't think you should get involved in this, it might be dangerous" I murmured softly. "I know, but you'll need me with you" he cuddled me. "You can't, I don't want to go through that feeling again" I took a few steps away from him.

"Little Dhampir…" he reached for me.

"I need to be alone for a while" I said before running down guest housing's corridor, to Lissa's dorm to look for clues and tried to stop Adrian's death from replaying in my head. I got to her room and scanned the room for any intrusion. The window was locked, her door didn't have any sign of force on it, she couldn't have just disappeared into thin air. I checked the bathroom, nothing, looked under the bed, nothing. Everything led to a dead end, I yelled in frustration. "Damn it, Lissa" I slammed my fist on the table. A little note drifted down from the desk.

Guess who? I never thought it could be so easy to nab Lissa, none of you even noticed.
Just so you know your bond won't work nor would any spirit users powers, not with
her by my side.

"I am a man without bones, my flesh is white, I am a man without blood, my flesh is cold, I am a man without life, my flesh is shrinking , I am the man you made and lost."

Your next clue will be waiting at your destination; I'll be waiting, but don't keep me waiting too long,

-V.D.

The paper was scrunched up in my fists seconds after reading that. Lissa was in his hands, he was going to use her powers to heal himself like he did last year and we're all helpless to where she is being held.

I went back to Adrian's room, he flipped through different channels on the TV. "Adrian, I found something…" he jumped off the couch and I handed him the note. "What the fuck does it mean?" he reread it. "It's probably a riddle we need to solve to find our next clue to Lissa" I growled. Adrian rung Christian, he came up in a matter of minutes. "It's one of his fucking mind games again" he snarled. "Does anyone get it?" I looked around the room. Alberta, Kirova and Stan called for us.

We sat in Kirova's meeting room, the silence was killing me. "We found a note, Victor is playing a game with us, he wants us to follow his footsteps to something" I threw the note across the table. "How do you know it's Victor Dashkov?" Kirova adjusted her reading glasses.

"Are you blind? It says V.D. and what other psychopath with those initials would want Lissa?" Christian scowled. "I think I know the answer to that, but the answer doesn't make sense" Alberta shook her head. "What is it?" Christian's eyes widened and filled with hope. "It's a snowman" Then Adrian, Christian and I gasped at the same time. "Could it be…" I started. "The ski lodge we went to last Christmas?" Christian interrupted. "How do you know?" Stan's face hardened. "What other place have we been to that has snow at this time of the year?" I raised an eyebrow, everyone got my point.

"We're leaving" Christian stood up and waited for Adrian and me to tag along. "This is outrages, you can't just run off unprotected" Kirova stopped us. "Try me" Christian challenged.

"Let's roll" Christian gestured for us to walk out the door with him, Adrian called for his little private jet he had at the school's air strip to be ready, we packed our duffel bags with stuff we needed, I got a couple of stakes from the gym and waited with my arm linked to Adrian's.

We made our way up the plane and an all too familiar voice came from behind us. "Where do you think you're going?"

End Of Chapter 7


Lifehouse - Broken

I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
That's still beating
In the pain
There is healing
In your name
I find meaning
So I'm holding on
I'm barely holding on to you

Peace out,

-L.
