Goodday my dear readers. Sorry for keeping you waiting so long for a new chapter. It turned out that my work devoured me more then I could thing off.
Well I hope you will love the new chapter.

Richelle Mead owns the characters but I own the plot and the added characters.

Research

The next morning I got woken up by some of Christian's loud snoring. When I lifted my head everything started turning around again. With a heavy thump I fell down on the floor. Christian jumped up. "Are you ok little one?", he asked me groggily. The whole world was spinning around me. I couldn't give him an answer and while moaning I laid down my head on the floor. Christian jumped up and carried me to my bed. "You are gonna spend the day in this bed Rose and I won´t take no for an answer, he said with a demanding tone. "I know for sure that it's better for you to just stay in this bed and get better, before you get back to school". When he was reprimanding me I heard some soft knocking on my door. "Come in", said Christian with a small smile on his face.

My mom and Lissa came walking in. Lissa ran to my bed and sat on the edge and started chatting to me. Are you ok Rose? You gave us quite a scare.", she asked me. "I told coach everything what happened and why u weren't there. I also told her you were agreeing to her proposition of making the dancing team for the school.", she said to me with hope in her eyes.

While Lissa kept talking about everything what happened in school and what she and the others did last night, I saw my mom talking to Christian. She looked very worried. And again I could hear Christian's voice. "I have to make sure that nothing happens to her anymore. I promised Grandma Olena when we were little that I would always take care of her. And I have to keep that promise." I had to find out what Christian meant with that comment. "Rose… Rose… Are you still here?", Lissa asked me while she was waving her hands in front of my face. I had a very very dry mouth, so everything I said came out more moaning then understandable. "I… I am fine. I just need some more painkillers. My head is killing me." Chris turned around and looked at me with a worried face. "I will get you some more painkillers little one." All off the sudden I heard a weird tune. Lissa looked at her phone. I think she got a text message. "Dimitri wishes you the very best Rose", she said with a huge smile on her face.

All off the sudden I heard my mom gasp. "Rose where is your necklace?", she said with a strong voice. I pointed at my dresser, where my jewelry box was standing. "I always put my jewelry off when I go to bed mom.", I told her with a shaky voice. My mom looked even more worried now. "Maybe you just put on your necklace again baby. You know that the power of the Triquetra only works when the three bearers are connected. Baby girl that is the most important thing and you should have known it", she said with a sad smile. I nodded to her. I know that the Triquetra worked that way. I was the one that has taught my mom about it. I had read everything about it in several books about Celtic magic. The Triquetra is one of the greatest and the most known power combiner. During our conversation Lissa was watching us with big eyes. But she never said anything. "I spoke to Lillian and Kylie yesterday and they both were very worried about you. They haven't spoken to you since you left.", my mom said. When I heard that a very very deep red color appeared on my cheeks. Lissa got up and brought me the necklace. She had just fastened the necklace when Chris walked in with my medication and a glass of water. Again I hear Chris his voice very softly."Maybe Grandma Olena should tell Rose what we are. I think during the first time off we have from school, we should visit her".

During this time I looked at Chris my mom left the room. Chris handed met the glass of water and the tablets. The headache was coming and going like waves on a beach and the turning and twirling hasn't stopped either. I looked at him with grateful eyes. When I took the glass from him hands the water started whirling around like a maelstrom again. When I looked closer to see what was happening the maelstrom disappeared again. I was wondering how hard I hit my head. I started blinking very fast and took the tablet in my mouth and swallowed them. When I looked up I saw Chris and Lissa look at me with their eyes wide open. Chris sat down next to me and grabbed me in one of his big hugs. Out of the corner of my eyes I saw Lissa texting someone with big haste. Again I hear Chris talking very softly without moving his mouth. "I am so happy Dimitri found Rose in the forest. Else I would have lost her forever. Dimitri would be a very good match for her. But until she figures it out herself, I will have to watch out for her."

"Did your guys go out at all last night?", I asked Lissa. She shook her head like a mad woman. " "Nah the boys didn't want to go without the two of you and Chris didn't want to leave you alone.", she said with a wink. I knew Chris was with me the whole night. I didn't even have any idea what time we came back home. Seth shook me out of my train of thoughts. "I will be back this afternoon Rose." Lissa said with a big smile on her face. "I will keep my head on the job and take notes of all the lessons you are going to miss. But Chris and I really have to leave now. Else we are going to be late for school.", she said with a huge grin on her face. She got up and tried to pull Chris of my bed. I was a funny site seeing such a small girl pulling a big boy upwards. Chris turned around and looked at me. "I will come and see how your during lunch break little one", he yelled at me when he got pulled out of my bedroom door.

Finally when I was left alone, I could let my thought drift away. Why is Chris so protective of me? I couldn't think of anything else, apart from what happened to me and Jake. But why did he promise grandma Olena something. We haven't seen her in such a long time. I couldn't think of anything else. But what wrecks my mind the most is, how I could hear his voice without his mouth moving? This is not the first time it happened though. When I ran away to the forest and when Dimitri found me. When I was laying down in his arms, I could swear I heard him talking to. Maybe I should do some research about mindreading. But first I have to call my girls after I sleep some more. I put my head down and fell in a deep sleep.

"I'm standing in a beautiful meadow, surrounded by forest. When I looked around I could see various trees, plants and flowers. In and on top of these plants and flowers I could see bees and a lot of other insects busy working their daily chores. Within the forest in could see a lot of deer and several different little creatures running around. On side of the meadow ended in to and beautiful beach. On this beach I saw two girls walking hand in hand. I waved at them, but they didn't see me. I sat down and watched the sun go down. I stood up and walked toward the beach, with a sea breeze in my hair. I just loved the sea and the smell it carries. When I was half way towards the beach I heard someone yelling at me. "Wait for me!" Before I could whirl around to see where the sound came from, two warm arm wrapped around me. While I turned around to look at who was holding me. I came in contact with the most beautiful brown eyes. Eyes so beautiful u could get lost in them. The boy who was holding met had a gentle smile. I couldn't see the rest of his face. Only his deep brown eyes. "Hello beautiful", he says. "Finally I get to meet you." I smiled back at him and gently tried to touch his face, to try to make his face clearer for me. I saw he lips curling up in a very bright smile. He had dimples in his cheek. When the rest started to get clearer…"

Later that day I woke up by some weird crackling noises. My curtains where still open so I could clearly look outside. The sun was shining brightly in my eyes. When I looked outside I got the weirdest feeling that I was being watched. It felt like I was a very important person. I could feel eyes burning into my back, but I couldn't see anything or anyone. Again I heard the loud crackling noise and the sun disappeared under a dark cloud. Before I could stand up and look out my window I heard Chris running up the stairs. "Rose… Little one! How are you feeling?", he yelled when he came in my room. When I looked outside the dark cloud was gone. "I am feeling a lot better now Chris. Thanks for asking. How is school. Got in to some fights yet?" I asked him with a smile on my face. Chris started laughing really loud. "You missed so much. Tasha and Jesse got them self in to big trouble. They had to clean the whole cafeteria because of what they did to you. Oh and in two weeks we have a reunion ball." I nodded. Lissa told me everything about it. The boys and girls that graduated last year had to ask the senior's to the ball. "Lissa got asked by Eddie and I got asked by Mia", he said with a smile on his face. Aparantly I looked very sad cause Chris pulled me in to one off his big hugs. "Don't worry little one, the ball is in two weeks. So we still have plenty of time to practice.", he said with a wink. He turned around and looked at my clock. When he saw the time he let me go and stood up. He told me he had to run, else he would be late for classes again.

I got up and walked to the shower. After this extra little bit of sleep I felt a lot better. I jumped under the shower and started rinsing my hair. My thoughts started drifting again. Ah gala ball wow. We never had any of them in Detroit. I am curious if I will be going. I would probably make a fool out of myself anyway. Then again I am happy that Chris finally got asked for once. I also think that him and me would probably be the only ones that can dance ballroom. But rest assure I will teach some of the other to be able to dance like us, especially Lissa. Christian really like her and I think they are a great couple together. Then again I might not even see them dance together, because I don't think anyone will ask me after what happened today. After 5 minutes in the shower I got that awful feeling again. The feeling that I was being watched. When I looked at the door if someone was there I saw some shadow shoots away. I quickly got out of the shower as fast as I could. This awful feeling was giving me the Bjeebus. I towel dried myself and wrapped myself in the towel before walking in to my room. I grabbed some undies, and tanktop and some sweatpants and got dressed. When I sat down behind my desk I found out that the screen of my mobile phone was blinking. I looked at the screen and saw that I had a message.

"Hello Rose,

I hope you are allright and that we can make some arrangements to meet up soon. You gave us all quite a scare. I hope you don't mind me texting you. I did have to ask Lissa for your number cause your brother wouldn't give it to me.

Get well soon, Adrain"

I had to read the message twice before I understood who send me this message. First of all I never get any text messages and second of all I couldn't believe Adrian would send me a message. I just couldn't believe it at all. I responded to the message a fast as my fingers and my mind would let me.

"Hey Adrian,

Thanks for you message. I guess I am ok again. It's good to have such an overprotective brother. Atleast you will always be safe. And to answer your question. Yes I think we should reschedule the date we have to got to the carnival with the gang. But I think we should do it fast before it leaves town again.

*Farewell waves Rose*"

Before I hit the send button I quickly scanned over the message. I the carnival already left town. Sigh, maybe we won't have the date with the gang anyways. I hit the send button and pressed the ON button of my computer. My computer took his sweet time to get booted up. And all of the sudden that creepy feeling appeared again. I walked over to my stereo system. Maybe some music will lighten my mind. I turned on my music so my room didn't have that eerie silence. When I sat back down on my chair my computer was done booting. I opened up a search window and typed in "mind reading". The first few pages taught me that they thought these people were all fakes and imposters. But I really did read Christian's mind. After looking at a few of these pages I encountered a page about a legend from the Celtic druids. The spoke about a legend of White spirits. This was a story about Very powerful dhampirs that can read mind and control all four elements. But I couldn't find any in-depth information about this legend. The only things that I could find is that they all can control one of the most important elements, water, fire, air, earth and that they were supported by normal dhampirs that extended their powers. Maybe grandma Olena can help me with this. She was the one that told me about the Triquetra and Celtic Magic. I will have to call her soon. I grabbed my phone but when I started dialing her number I got a new text message. Adrain send me a message back.

"Hey again Rose,

I hope I did not wake you out of your beauty sleep. The carnival left Montana this morning. Yesterday was the last day we could go there. But I actually wanted to go out on a date with you alone. But only if you want it to.

Hugs Adrain"

I couldn't believe my own eyes when I read the message. He wanted to go on a date with me alone. We barely spoke to each other the other night and here he was asking me out on a date. I had to think real hard to make sure I send a good reply back. I didn't wanna screw this one up. I needed my girls to help me out with this one. I looked up at the clock and noticed it was already three o'clock. Lillian and Kylie were already out of school. I texted them both if they could come online so we could chat with the three of us. I also added that I missed them. After a couple of seconds I got a message from the both of them. Lillian was having boy troubles again with Rick and Kylie messaged me she would be online in 5 minutes. That gave me enough time to call Grandma Olena.

When I rang her Phone she answered after one ring. When I told her who I was she gasped. "Is it really you my dear? Are you ok? You are never the one to call me without a good reason. So tell me what is on your mind dear?" I told her about our move from Detroit to Montana and how I got asked by my new coach to lead another dancing team. Grandma always adored my dancing shows. So when I told her about Tasha and what she did to make a fool out of me, she started laughing really loud. "These people are just jealous of how good you are my dear. They will never be as good as you are." I had to laugh with my grandmother. During our brief conversation I had that creepy odd feeling again, that I was being watched. It made me remind myself why I called grandma Olena the first time. "Grandma, do you ever have the feeling that you are being watched and then when you look around you, the only thing you see is shadows flying away?" The conversation went silent all of the sudden. So silent that you could hear a needle fall to the floor. "My dear… I think it's time that you and Christian come visit me as soon as you can. I have to tell you two a lot of things. Did you read up on all the information about the Celtic magic I gave you my dear?", she asked me with a very persistent voice. I told her a lot about the Triquetra's I bought Kylie and Lillian, after I learned about how powerful this sign was. I also told her about the pendant they gave me and that I could hear Christian's thoughts. I also told her about the legends I found on the internet about the White spirits. "This story is about very powerful dhampirs grandma, and I have the feeling this have something to do with the fact I could read Chris's his mind." My grandma gasped again. "I know that story dear. I should have a book around here that tells you all about the story.", she said. "I was hoping you could tell me more about it grandma. The internet doesn't really tell much about this legend." I told her. The only thing I could hear at that moment was the rustling of bookpages. "It's better that you and Chris get here as soon as you can, my dear. I think you and Chris should know about this now. I think it's time. When will be the first chance you have before you can come over?" I had to tell her that we would only be able to see her in 2.5 weeks. "I will see you then", she said before she ended the conversation. This was the weirdest conversation I ever had with her. But I felt so much better.
