Lissa

I was getting better at charming stakes, although it made me more and more depressed. I couldn't give up. My hand gleamed silver and I touched the stake, which I 'borrowed' from the guardians. It had a spark and then it gleamed. "Yes! Dimitri, Adrian, get your asses in here!" They came in here immediately thinking I was in danger.

"You did it. You actually did it." Adrian said smiling as the stake was glowing.

"I know. We're ready. Get ready, we're going to Missoula." I said.

"I am proud of you," Dimitri said. I hugged him. I murmured in his ear, "We'll get her back, I promise. I know how much you love her. We're not giving up. Right now I just need to lay down." He gave me a sad smile and they both left. I laid on my bed. I was resting for about fifteen minutes until Christian knocked.

"It's open!" I said.

"It's me..." He said awkwardly.

"Oh..." I said

"I was hoping we could talk... about us." He said and then there was a commotion outside. Then at the door was my worst nightmare. The red ringed eyes, the pale skin... It was Rose.

"Aww.. How sweet. I hate sweet." She pushed Christian to the wall and he FLEW to the wall. He didn't move. "CHRISTIAN!" I ran towards him, but he looked up pissed off at Rose. A girl came towards Christian and I and tied us up. Luckily, it was right by the stake. I immediately hid the stake. I had my hiding places. Christian was tied up next to me and the stake was behind me.

"Rose..." I said. I had no words. How could I explain. I could say, "It's good to see you're still alive," but that was not going to fly. "How did you get past the wards?" I asked.

"Easy, we broke them." She said.

"What are we waiting for?" Sky snarled. "Let's just kill them." She lunged at me.

"MINE!" I heard Rose say and she shoved Sky out of the way. "We wait for Dimitri which won't be long." Rose exclaimed. "Isn't that right, Lissa?" She passed a finger along my chin and I jerked my head away.

"Fuck off, Rose." Christian said.

"You've got guts, Ozera." She snarled and then moved away.

"Can you burn my ropes, like you did with Rose in Spokane?"

"They'd notice." He said sadly, then our savior burst in the door. Dimitri came in.

"I've been expecting you." Rose said with interest.

"Yeah, well you shouldn't have taken Lissa, you know, your best friend?" Dimitri said.

"Former best friend," She sneered toward me and I was pissed. I started untying the ropes of mine and Christian.

"How can you say that?" Dimitri said circling Rose. "You two have been through everything together."

"There's only one person I care about: Me, myself, and I." Rose said and Dimitri was on the other side facing me. I gave him a small nod saying, My ropes are untied, get ready to tackle her. He gave the tiniest nod back. Everything happened so fast. I charmed my stake and the other Strigoi saw light which I pointed in their faces, also because it was a stake. Dimitri put her in a choke hold and slammed her into the ground. Christian and I ran to her. Other guardians came in.

"No! Let me do this! Christian, Fire!" I yelled while Rose was struggling. I knew the charm on the silver stake would burn out soon enough, but Christian put a ring of fire around us, and Rose screamed. I ran over to Rose, re-charmed my stake and plunged it in her heart. Well, sort of. I was having trouble finding the heart. Then I finally found it. I staked harder. Harder than I ever have practiced. Then there was a light shining between us, I felt something I have only felt once before a couple years ago when the car accident happened. The bond was back. I took the stake out and the rumors that Victor said was true. Rose was a Dhampir again. Again, well, sort of. I was stroking her hair while she was crying in my lap. "It's all okay now, Rose. It's all going to get better." She just looked up to me and gave me a sad smile... with fangs? Dhampirs didn't have fangs. I decided to deal with it later. She was so fragile. Dimitri came up and picked her up. He accepted her into his arms and carried her to her room. I was so exhausted, I fainted.

"Lissa!" I heard. "Lissa, wake up!" I thought it was an angel. It was an angelic voice. I woke up and it was so close to an angel. It was Christian.
"Where..." I tried to sit up, but Christian put me back down on the bed. "Where's Rose?"

"Oh," He looked uncomfortable.

"Listen, bub!" I grabbed him by the shirt shaking him. "Where the Hell is Rose?"

"She's in her room! She's in her room! Let me go!" He exclaimed.

"I'm sorry, but somehow," I looked down.

"What?" He asked softly.

"The bond's back." I said.

"So Rose could be watching us right now."

"Supposedly," I said. "But I think she is too depressed. I need to go visit her. She needs to see me."

"Okay, but let me walk with you." We walked to Rose's room and it was guarded.

"Princess." A guardian said.

"I need to see Rose," I said.

"She has been asking for you. There will be extra protection just in case."

I. Snapped. "She doesn't need protection! She's a Dhampir!" Kind of. I silently added. "I don't need protection! So go off and do your little dance in Hell and GO!" I emphasized on the "Go," part. They let me in and we saw Rose in the corner.

"Up, up, up," (Say it really quickly, it makes sense!) "Only her," The guardian shot a look at me.

"Okay," we both said. I went in and I saw Rose at the corner in a fetal position. Poor Rose.

She gave me a small rueful smile. "You do know I can hear your thoughts right?"

"I always knew that." I went to go sit with her and put my arm around her. "How have you been? Have they been hurting you?" I asked.

"I'm fine," She stared at me. "I just feel... different. Like life is waking up right in front of my eyes. What's the word... reality!" She snapped her fingers. "I was just in a really bad nightmare, a nightmare that I couldn't wake up from. I was killing people for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I'm a murder, Lissa. All of those people I killed in that month, I can never forgive myself for." She looked down and started to cry. "When I sleep, I can hear the people who I killed shout at me, 'Why did you kill me?' or 'Why did you do this to me?'. I can't take it, Lissa. Being Shadow-Kissed has it's good side like knowing if you're in danger or not or hearing your thoughts. I need to know that, but just being a part of the World of the Dead kills me. I have a question though, about something that you might know."

"Anything, Rose," I whispered. She laid into my lap and I stroked her hair wondering what it might be.

"I have fangs."

"But you can't. If you're connected to the World of the Dead, that means you're not Moroi." I said softly. I didn't want to hurt her feelings.

"That's exactly what I thought. But I have this itch in the back of my throat at times AND look at my skin. It's the exact same skin tone." She said.

"I think I know what happened..." I whispered while stroking her hair. Apparently she didn't mind it.

"What do you think?" Rose asked

"I think when I turned you back, a Moroi turning a Strigoi back to life, the Dhampir, that would be you, is back to life, but has more Moroi than Dhampir because the Moroi turned the Dhampir. So, your more or less a Moroi." I smiled.

She gave a small smile. "Do you think I have magic?"

"We'll have to find out soon." I smiled back.

"I love you, Lissa," Rose said.

"I love you too, Rose. I'm glad your back." I said. Then a guardian came in and cleared his throat. This one seemed to be nicer.

"Um, Princess, Rose, I'm sorry to say, but the Princess has to leave." The guardian said.

"It's okay," I said softly. "I'll be back tomorrow." Rose nodded, hugged me and shoved me a little jokingly to help me up.

"Thanks." I said.

"Anytime, anywhere." She said and I went to leave, but right before I left, she went back to look at the wall. I sighed, and left.

"There's nothing you could have done to make her feel better now, but she will feel better soon." The guardian said.

"Your nicer than some of the guardians I met." I murmured.

"I've heard that. But you need to know, don't push her. I lost my own love to a Strigoi." He said.
"You're... You're Mikhail Tanner... Ms. Karps boyfriend." I said. "I'm...sorry, I know how it feels to lose someone you love."

"I know, just be calm with her." He said.

"I will," I said as we reached my room. "And thanks."
"Welcome," He said and left. I went into my room and laid onto my bed. I thought about the past hour. Could Rose really be a Moroi? Tomorrow was another day and we had to find out.

OMG! EPIC! What do you think? REVIEW! I tried so hard! PLEASE! Next will be from Rose's POV. Hope you liked it! HouseofNight321, Signing off!
