I AM SO SORRY FOR UPDATING LATE! PLEASE READ A/N- IT'S GOT IMPORTANT STUFF YOU MIGHT WANT TO READ!
A/N: Alright, first off, I'd like to thank Dorothy, nekkaloveschocolate, Shawna, and Maria for reviewing! (: Secondly, I want to apologize for not updating in two freakin' weeks. Yeah, I know, but I've been busy with stupid school and quadratic and radicals and shiz. I got a B, an 88 B in math, because my teacher wouldn't let me get my completed paper out of my folder that I accidentally left in my locker! I want to kill her! Stupid old lady, -.- AND THEN, my language arts teacher, who doesn't even know how to spell 'probably' or 'heroes' (she thinks it's spelled heros) needs to go back to college because she DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO TEACH! Even I could do better than her(I am only going into high school…)! We were going over Grammar Reviews- it's where we correct incorrect sentences- and even though my hand was raised high in the air, she wouldn't call on me. I was going to point out the last grammatical error but then she was all like, "Let's go over it. Oh, look, you guys missed one. There's supposed to be a comma here and here and quotations here and here…" Yeah, we missed it because you, you little piece of #$!%$!, wouldn't freaking call on me! I STRONGLY DISLIKE HER SO MUCH! Anyway, I'm chasing rabbits.. ALRIGHT- NOW FOR THE REAL CRAP.
For those of you who are confused about the story- I don't even know if some of you are- but here's an explanation/summary (A very long one) about what's going on and stuff from her past.
There was never a Strigoi attack, therefore Dimitri was never turned. THEREFORE, Rose is still a virgin! No cabin sex! That's right, twenty-two and a virgin. If she couldn't have Dimitri, then she couldn't have anyone.
Who knows, I might add them getting down, dirty, and kinky much later in the story, but I'm not really comfortable writing a lemon. Anyway- Tasha was after Dimitri but he told her he did not have feelings for her, but someone else. Rose and Dimitri continued their secret relationship until Tasha found out about their undying love, and then even though Rose turned eighteen the day before, Tasha still told on them. Kirova technically couldn't do anything about it and that's when the compulsion popped in. Kirova said she wouldn't take it to the authorities so then Tasha compelled her to tell the council and Tatiana.
Tasha murdered Tatiana after the woman she wouldn't do anything about it because in this case, Rose wouldn't be with Adrian. Tatiana believed Rose to be a blood whore that represented herself cheaply. Tasha poisoned the Queen and yeah... The council elected a new ruler, Vasilisa Sabina Rhea Dragomir. The Quorum rule was changed back then by Tatiana, yes she might be a cold hearted b*tch, but she wasn't that evil. Lissa won the election with the support of Adrian.
Mason, most of Dimitri's family, Christian, Eddie, Mia, Rose, Dimitri, Abe, maybe Janine(not sure about her) I think that's it… they were all compelled by Tasha. You'll find out later on how she did it. Rose& Dimitri were compelled to tell Alberta and everyone else they knew that they believed it wasn't their duty to protect and to start living like regular people. Mason was compelled to 'love' Rosie and drop his Guardianship. Eddie- compelled to drop his Guardianship too and living like normal people. Mia- compelled to believe all the things going on. Christian- compelled to believe all the things going on too. Abe- compelled to believe all the things going on. Janine...compelled to Rose was missing and captured by Strigoi. Most of Dimitri's family- Yeva knew what was going on the whole time. Old, wise woman. Olena compelled to understand what Dimitri did. Viktoria compelled the same way, along with Karolina and Sonya, Paul (poor kid!), Zoya (poor baby! ). Oh! And then there was Ivan, yes, I kept him alive, who was compelled into working with Dimitri. And also, Lissa and Rose still have their bond since Dimitri was never turned. Dang it! One more thing- calm your titties because Tasha and Dimitri NEVER had sex. She was going to do that at the hotel but then Dimitri didn't love her and blah blah blah- the rest is history. Gosh, I should've planned this out before. It is too confusing to keep up with and I now despise the word compel/compelled/compulsion! Urgh. Anyway, yeah, are we clear? I know that was a bit confusing, for me… dunno about you guys.
Tasha tried compelling (-.-) Lissa and Adrian but it didn't work because they're Spirit users. Okay! Good, now, I am going to tell you that I will be naming chapters from songs. I recommend looking them up because in some way, I am going to try to relate it to the chapter. If not, it might just be a good song that I think is awesome. Sorry for the late update. Had a busy week other than school and last week I wasn't able to get a hold of a computer. Aright, that was nearing 1,000 words so I am going to shut up now and let you read. Once again, SORRY! :/ Ah poop… One more thing. I messed up in making Paul like eight to ten years old when he'd be fourteen. In this chapter, he'll be his correct age.

Previously in Rosemarie Hathaway, The One and Only:
Mason slapped my hand away.
"Hey! Didn't your mother ever tell you that it is quite rude to hit a girl?"
"Yes, but you aren't one, so I don't think we have a problem." He walked right into that one.
"Calling yourself gay, are we now?" Christian, Eddie, Mia, Lissa, Viktoria, Sonya (Belikov), Karolina, and Ivan all snickered. Dimitri shook his head along with Mikhail, Sonya (Karp/Tanner, in my story they are married), Olena, and Yeva. Paul was in the corner listening to music.
"No, I'm just calling you a man. You are built like one and you act like one, so for all we know, you could have man parts too."
"Trust me, she doesn't." Dimitri said only low enough for me to hear. I smirked as his arm went around my shoulders and I relaxed into his body.
"No, you're calling yourself gay because technically, you and I dated, and if you are calling me a man, then you are attracted to the same sex."
"But I'm not attracted to the same sex! Is Karolina a man? I don't think so." I glanced at her and she winked back at me.
"But what if I was?" A devious thing she was. Mason's skin color turned more pale.
"Y-y-you are kidding me, right?" We all laughed but it ended short when there was an abrupt knock on the door. I went to get it and I nearly screamed at the sight in front of me.
"Hello, Rosie."
Chapter Seven- 24 by Jem
(Rose POV)
I'm not really the type to scream or become shocked… but this visitor made my stomach twist, turn, flip, and feel extremely hollow. I knew those red eyes that used to be brown all too well, but seeing him with ashy white skin and a cold stare chilled me to my bones.
"Why are you here?" I managed to choke out.
"I came here to warn you."
"I thought you were dead- you still are, but I thought you died from Sandovsky's Syndrome."
"Yes, darling, I am a Strigoi and I 'died' of the disease but I was turned shortly after my death. Happy? You have an explanation, now be quiet or else I will lose my temper. Understood?" I nodded.
"Roza? Who's at the door?"
"Eh, him again? Does he ever leave you alone? That isn't important. I came here, as I said, to warn you. I am not the only one after you, Rosie. However, when I awaken you, you shan't worry about it. Let the games begin, shall we?" After having that said, he took off, a gust of wind blowing back into and through the doorway of the suite.
"Rose, are you alright?" I was glued to the spot, unable to move. Not even lifting a finger was something I could manage.
"Rose, who was at the door?" Dimitri spun me around to face him.
"Dad." I whispered.
"I thought he passed away. Are you seeing ghosts again?" I shook my head.
"He's a S-Str-"I couldn't continue and I burst into little sobbing fits while Dimitri engulfed me into a hug.
"Strigoi?" I nodded.
"Shh, it's alright. We'll fix it." That just made me cry even more while he rubbed my arms and back and murmured comforting Russian words in my hair.
"Hey, Rose, I was wondering, since the baby-" I couldn't see Christian but I could feel Dimitri shake his head at him. I heard retreating footsteps and then complete silence.
"Rose?" Lissa yanked me from Dimitri's warm hold and looked me in the eyes, shaking me.
"Tell me this instant."
"Liss-"
"Rose!"
"It was my dad! He's a Strigoi and he wants to turn me! He said he wasn't the only one after me and that there were others but he said it wouldn't matter after he awakens me! Is that good enough for you?"
xXx
I ran and ran until I was out of breath. I knew I shouldn't be out right after I was just warned about being wanted by people/Strigoi other than my dearest father, but I could feel the darkness bubbling to the surface and running normally helped burn off the anger. Placing Lissa and Mia in the same room as me was too dangerous because of their pregnancies, and what would I have I done had I hurt one of their kids? The guys would probably get them to safety, but there wasn't any chance I was going to risk it. Also, there was Dimitri's family I'd have to consider, not to forget all of my great friends and then the love of my life. My sides were killing me, and I instantly remembered a time when I had first began running when Dimitri was my mentor.
"You've done very well today, but when you take a break from running, never throw yourself to the ground. Put your hands on top of your head and then slowly walk around, taking deep breaths. Breathe in through your nose and out your mouth. Get up."
"Why can't I lie down Dimitriiii?" I whined, clambering to my feet.
"Because it isn't healthy for your heart."
"Dhampirs are strong and our bodies fight off shit."
"I know that, Rose, however, it's healthier to steer clear of lactic acid."
"What in the world is 'lactic acid'?"
"Energy you receive from glucose."
"And walking around helps that?"
"Yes." I sighed and did as he told me too, even though all I wanted to do was lie down on the soft grass that tickled and scratched my skin.
I was knocked out of my memories by me being knocked to the ground and hitting it with a thud, and then my world going black.
(Lissa POV)
"It's all my fault! I shouldn't have been so mean and I shouldn't have gotten so mad that she didn't tell me first! What's wrong with me? I was jealous over something that didn't even really concern me! Yeah, I'm her best friend, but don't you think that I should've given her some room? How rude of me! And now she's missing and we can't find her!" I was stomping around and pacing rapidly and I was beginning to tug at my hair when Christian stopped me.
"Liss, it's alright. You didn't know and I'm sure she will be fine after she gets back."
"What if she doesn't come back, Christian? How am I supposed to stay sane if it is my fault that Rose disappears, huh?"
"We will find her Lissa; we need you to cooperate. Is that understood?" Dimitri was standing in the middle of the room, rubbing his face, and then pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to make things worse…" I whispered. I called out to Rose with my mind up I came up blank. Her walls didn't seem to be up but for some reason, I couldn't get through.
"Dimitri, I can't get through." I'm pretty sure he cursed because he then got disapproving looks from Yeva and Olena and then a smirk from Paul. I guess he decided to stop playing with his music and actually join the adults. The boy was fourteen, he might as well start learning things. Dimitri tried Rose's cell again, but it was no use since it was going straight to her voicemail. I sighed in frustration and decided to send out a search team. I dialed my assistant's number.
"Your majesty?"
"Hello, Julia. I need a search party for Rosemarie Hathaway."
"Your majesty, may I ask why?"
"She's been missing for two hours…"
"Your majesty, two hours isn't very long…"
"Her cellular device is not being responded to, I cannot reach her through the bond, and when I say something and tell you to do it, you do it. I want a search party for Rose. Marie. Hathaway. Is that understood, Miss Voda?"
"Yes, your majesty." she squeaked.
"You are dismissed."
"Thank you, your majesty." I hung up and saw that everyone was staring out the window. I rushed over to them.
"What is it?"
"I think we found her." I ran over to the other window where Paul sat, staring wide-eyed at the figure who was wired with a time bomb. As I looked closer, I realized it was Rose, just like Christian had said.
(Dimitri POV- When he just saw Rose storm out of the room b/c of Lissa and then up to the point where Rose is outside with the bomb…)
Roza was pulled from my grasped and into Vasilisa's.
"Rose?" Vasilisa shook Roza's shoulders.
"Tell me this instant."
"Liss-"
"Rose!"
"It was my dad! He's a Strigoi and he wants to turn me! He said he wasn't the only one after me and that there were others but he said it wouldn't matter after he awakens me! Is that good enough for you?" Rose, I could tell by the look on her face, she was collecting the darkness from Vasilisa. Rose tensed and then jerked free of her best friend's hold on her arms, storming to the coffee table where her phone rested.
"I'll be back later." she growled. She slammed the door on her way out and then six hours passed by, dragging on slowly. I began to worry, seeing as how it was already seven o' clock when she left a quarter before one. I tried calling, but she didn't answer. I called at least twenty times, but never once did she pick up.
"Try the bond." Lissa did and she said there was nothing but a black space. She tried repeatedly, but the answer was always the same.
"Dimitri, I can't get through."
"Damn it!" My mother and grandmother gave my disapproving looks whereas Paul smirked. I would knock some sense into that kid after we found Roza because I were him, I wouldn't dare be smiling and goofing off. Vasilisa began calling someone while I thought of how we could locate her. Mason, Eddie, and Mia were scouting the hotel and its perimeters. I wanted Mia to stay behind but she refused and actually began scouting without them.
"Uncle Dimka…?"
"What is it Paul?"
"Come here. Now." I rolled my eyes and went over to his spot. He was pushing the curtain aside and peeking out the window.
"Paul, I don't care about what's out-"
"Go to the other window and look outside. Do it, now! Someone's life depends on it, guaranteed."
I listened and made my way over to the window. Scooting the curtain to the right, I saw Roza strapped to a time bomb with a woman and man standing next to her. (Keep in mind that they are on a human schedule, so it's bright out.) I knew the woman but I had no idea who the man was. The woman wouldn't surprise me though… after all the hell she's put my loved ones and me through, I wouldn't have expected anything less.
(Rose POV- SHE'S WAKING UP! AH!)
I slowly opened my eyes, revealing three figures. One was a Strigoi, the other was a dhampir and then there was Tasha. She was supposed to at the Royal Court, not in this damned purple room.
"She's up." I patted myself for my stake, but it was nowhere to be found. The Strigoi pulled me up by my hair. I sucked in a breath as he pulled on the tender spot on my head from where I was hit. I wasn't ever really tender headed but whatever they whacked me with was some heavy duty shit. Tasha disappeared from the room and came back with a vest with bunch of wires and cords crossing here and there. Rose Hathaway doesn't go down without a fight. Never, I thought to myself. I kicked back into the Strigoi's kneecap and heard a crack. Checkmate, bitch. The Strigoi loosened his hold on my hair because from what I could tell, I caused him a semi amount of pain. I had shoved his knee all the way back to where his knee wasn't bent going forwards, but going backwards. I sprung from my position and searched frantically for a sharp weapon or an exit. I ran after the door but a ball of fire hit my foot, causing me to fall, and hit my head. Again.
xXx
I woke up, half coherent. My eyes wouldn't open but I could hear everything going on around me.
"I told you, you damned idiot, that the bomb isn't really timed. It starts at twenty-four hours, then goes to eighteen…"
"ROSE?" Was that Lissa's voice?
"Rose, I don't know what to do. You can't even hear me because of the walls being up… or blank rather, and I just want to go ahead and spit it out and say I am so sorry! I didn't mean to push you like that and I promise it will never ever happen again! I hope we find you and I love you! Hang in there- we'll do whatever it takes." Tasha and her dhampir buddy remained quiet so I just drifted off into a dark oblivion.
(Dimitri POV- UH OH? ? ?)
My phone rang and I didn't bother with checking the caller id.
"Let her go!" I barked at her.
"Come outside."
"Why should I?"
"Because this bomb isn't only a time bomb. It will activate at the simple pressing of a red button on this little remote," she wiggled a small black remote in her left hand."Do as I say or this hoe goes." She hung up on me before I could say any more.
"I must go,"
"Be careful, Dimka. Don't you dare do anything rash." Mama told me. I just nodded and kissed her head.
Tasha, Rose, and the man were on the roof so I made my way to the door that lead to the roof. I shoved it open and saw Rose in the middle, but Tasha and the man were out of sight. I then saw Vika in the window, motioning behind me. I picked up their shoe crunching on the gravel roof and spun around, pinning them against the wall with my forearm.
"Dimka, you're-" Gasp. "Hurting-" Another gasp. " Me!" I glanced worriedly at Roza, trying to figure out how much time there was on the bomb.
"Thirteen hours, Dimka. Good luck." I hear someone else come up behind me so I shoved Tasha against the wall, extremely hard, enough to place her on the brink of unconsciousness and took the man and slammed him into the ground. His head snapped back and I heard a sickening crack. Now was not the time to think about death.
"Roza!" I kneeled over her, completely unaware of Tasha feeding off of the dhampir man until a strangled sound came from him.
Tasha was turning the time bomb had five hours left on it. Time shouldn't be passing so quickly. I was working the bomb off her chest- which was extremely difficult because Rose had lost blood, was barely conscious, and Tasha had found a way for it to stick to her clothing. I assumed it would be Tasha who'd fed off of her, but she was becoming a Strigoi and for all I knew, she may have Strigoi friends that wouldn't mind a little piece of Roza. Two minutes later the time on the bomb ticked down to one hour.
"You don't have much longer, Dimka! In less than five minutes that bomb will go off and she will die. The time is ticking and soon, you'll be laying flowers on her life- it's over tonight!" I suddenly remembered the Swiss Army Knife inside the pocket of my duster. I flipped it open and began sawing my way through the vest. It was halfway open when Tasha yelled, "One minute, Dimka!"
I cut through even faster and I managed to rip the rest of the bomb off. I launched it over to where Tasha was. She ran away from it and into the building. I grabbed Roza and began to run in the opposite direction of the bomb, trying to get as far as I could so we wouldn't get the brunt of the explosion. The strength of the bomb was unknown to me, but there was no way in hell I'd be taking any chances. I heard Tasha screeching with laughter, counting down until the bomb blew up.
"AND THREE, TWO, ONE…" and of course, it went boom.
Blegh. None of these chapters are good! Once I have everything fixed I believe it might get better, however, I am very unsure. I apologize again for the late update… I was going to upload it last night or early this morning, but my Internet was being a fag. Last night, I tried getting on and then I saw it wouldn't load, so I was like, "SCREW YOU INTERNET! YOU LITTLE MOTHER EFFER!" and then there was this morning, it still wouldn't work, so I restarted it and clean it, you know… computer wise, not grabbing some Clorox and wiping it down, and tried getting on the Internet. When I saw it load onto my homepage, I did a victory dance. Spending hours trying to fix your Internet gets you hyped up because you're sitting there, staring at it, trying to find out what's wrong, and then you get mad and go all, "YOU LITTLE PIECE OF !&!^, WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?" Yeah. Last night I really wanted to upload the chapter, and I was ecstatic to be able to type, but when I saw the stupid Internet not working, I nearly flipped my lid. ANYWHO, I hope that chapter didn't make your eyes bleed. Oh, and the song, 24 by Jem, if you listened to it, did you find how I incorporated it? Heh, I'll do something with the song to add it in there. Thank you so much for reading and it would make my day if you reviewed and let meh know whatcha' think! Until next time…
GOODBYE! (:
-R. :D!
