hey guys! Here's chapter 10 ! Thank you to everyone who reviewed!

Viktoria POV:

One second I was walking with Nikolai, the next I was flat on my ass.

"Viktoria?!" A girls voice yelled.

I was about to scold this person for not watching where they were going when I saw who it was. "Rose!" I squealed.

She was there in the flesh, a bit bloody, but seemed to be otherwise uninjured.

I practically jumped on her, "we were all so worried! Dimitri was going mad! And everyone thought you might be dead! Or a blood whore for those nasty bastards! Or even awakened! Or tortured! Omg. Are you okay?! And what's with the giant ball gown?! I was sooo worried! And-"

"Viktoria." She cut me off with a laugh. "I'm perfectly alright, it will take a lot more than a couple of ugly bastards to bring down Rose Hathaway." She smirked "but I need to get to the others. Can you give me a ride?"

Nikolai helped both of us up. " Of course!"

We walked down a couple blocs until we reached Nikolai's pickup truck. Rose jumped in to the back carrying the folds of that huge old fashioned dress.

"What on earth are you wearing?" I giggled.

"Damn bastards decided to play dress up. But I think the point of making me wear it was so I would have trouble fighting,"

A bright flash lit up the inside of the truck.

"Vikki!" Rose screeched.

"Sorry! I couldn't help it!" I laughed and looked at the picture of Rose. " when else am I going to see Rose Hathaway in a ball gown?!" Rose grunted and I reluctantly put the camera away.

Nikolai gave a throaty laugh at our interactions. "You never cease to amaze me." He told us.

I gave him a kiss on the cheek. "We are pretty amazing!"

Rose was smirking and gave us a knowing smile, "I knew you two liked each other!"

"Whatever.." I brushed her off, but couldn't hide the grin that was plastered on my face.

My boyfriend on the other hand was blushing, it was adorable.

"Let's get going." Nikolai said, obviously flustered.

We drove off back to Baia.

Dimitri POV:

Everyone was panicking over Viktoria when suddenly Christian collapsed.

"Christian!" Lissa screamed and tried to heal him to no avail.

We all watched in shock as a ghastly version of my charge lifted of his unconsicous form and materialized into a normal body. He blinked and Lissa had to steady him. There were two of him. The one on the floor was becoming very pale very fast though. "Oh shit!" Christians doppelgänger shrieked! "Get the other me out of here he's about to be Strigoi!"

A loud bang echoed through the house, the front door had been completely thrown off its hinges. A strigoi with long brown hair, stood before us. "That's right, and I need little Fire boy over there." The voice laughed evily.

That hair...

That voice...

No! My blood ran cold.

She almost looked the same, she still had long hair, still wore a black leather jacket.

But the pale skin and red eyes... This monster was not my Roza.

"Haha. Don't be so surprised Dimka. You already knew the state I was in." Strigoi Rose flipped her hair over her shoulder and smiled revealing sharp white fangs.

"Rrrose?!" I stuttered. My world came crashing down and my knees buckled. "What did they do to you?" I whispered horrified. "They made me better Belikov. You were so right, the power that comes with being awakened is unimaginable." She sneered.

In a flash Rose had the pale unconsicous Christian in her arms.

"Until next time bitches."

And then she was gone.

Lissa was sobbing and everyone was confused. The remaining Christian sighed. "They should be here any minute now and then we'll explain everything."

"Who?!" Just then Viktoria and Nikolai ran in, someone towing in behind them.

"VIKTORIA BELIKOVA" My mama shrieked.

"You had us so worried! Don't ever do that again!"

"Mama look who we found!"

My Roza stood before us. In a huge ball gown, bloody, but very much alive.

Her skin was the same almond color it always has been, her eyes the same chestnut brown I loved so so much.

Roza ran into my arms. And began to sob, than I began to sob, and so did Lissa and Viktoria and my family.

I pulled Rose into a very passionate kiss.

She wiped her eyes and glanced at Christian.

Oh... Yah... They had some explaining to do.

" Where do we begin?" Rose asked.

"From the start..." Lissa replied.

So Rose and Christian dived into their story about how Maxim had tried to turn Rose but Ivan had somehow used spirit to split her into two. They explained how the other Rose was strigoi, and had the ability to control elements. But our Rose was a dhampir, but was taping into some shadow- kissed powers she didn't yet understand. Christian explained how because of their bond how he had also been split, and was beginning to develop the same powers at Roza.

She also added that Ivan was on our side and was going to help collect Intel on Maxim's plan.

Everyone agreed that this was enough for one night and began to head to bed.

As soon as they were gone I pulled Rose to me and kissed her again.

"God... I love you so much Roza... I-I was just so worried and-" she cut me off with another kiss. "It's okay, comrade. I'm here, well half of me anyways. But I love you with everything I have."

I reluctantly let her shower and change out of that bizarre dress into some of Viktoria's clothes.

And we snuggled up in my bedroom. I kissed her head and we both fell asleep.

But I woke up an hour later to her thrashing and screaming.

But that's not what scared me the most...

Two puncture marks appeared on her neck and blood began trickling down from the wound.

"Roza!"

What's going on with Roza?

What plan are they gonna come up with to stop the strigoi?

Now there are two Christians and Roses, Poor Lissa and Dimitri.
