Two cell phones were found a few feet away from where the body was. Adrian and Rose's

At least they're together; I thought trying to stay positive. I was ordered, along with every other student on campus to return to my dorm room until further notice. I protested at first in a Rose like way but they just shot me a look. Apparently my rebellion skills weren't as good as hers. Yet.

I stomped back to the dorms, two guardians trailed a distance behind me, to make sure I didn't go off on my own. They left when they saw I made it through the dorm. MY worries didn't ease, but only grew as I made it up the stairs to my room. It had been hours now, and with every second that passed, was a second Rose could be dead, Adrian laying beside her somewhere. The thing that irked me was that all of this was happening on campus; someplace we were told we could be safe and secure.

I sure feel secure and safe now.

"Hey," Christian greeted, appearing from behind the doorway. My shriek was silenced as he clamped his hand over my mouth.

"What are you…how'd you get up here?" I asked surprised. I felt better with him here but only for a second. He hugged me tight and closed my door behind him.

"I thought you were at your aunt Tasha's."

"I was but I got back. I've been looking for you for hours. Where've you been?"

"Looking for Rose."

"Oh yeah. I heard about what was going. How are you dealing?" he asked sitting us on the edge of my bed. I pulled my hair behind my ears and rested against his chest and sighed.

"I don't know. I feel so helpless. This is like the second or third time I thought she was dead in one year. I mean what the hell am I cursed or something?"

He chuckled stroking my hair lightly.

"She's the one who's been kidnapped, attacked, and killing strogoi and she's lost one of her friends and you think you're the one who's cursed?"

It hurt. Not because of what he said but because it was true. I shook my head pulling away from him.

"Are you saying this is some how my fault," I accused.

"I didn't say that. I'm just saying you should take into consideration about how cursed Rose feels."

"I have taken into consideration how Rose feels. She's my best friend and she's missing and you're sitting here basically telling me it's wrong to fell-"

"Liss I wasn't trying to-" he started reaching for me. I slapped his arm away and stood moving toward the window.

"Aren't you supposed to side with me and be there for me to comfort me because right now you're like blaming me for everything Rose has gone through."

"I'm not! Besides how would you know? You're so busy thinking about your self and your status to worry about anyone else lately. Do you even know what's going on with Adrian and his aunt, and Rose and her darkness or what ever? You're sitting here while they've been kidnapped again and suddenly you're the cursed one."

With Adrian's help, I'd learned to get a feel of people's emotions, reading their auras. Christian was mad at me yes but he was also reliving what he went through when he was kidnapped a few months ago. I thought about wanting to forgive him, wanting to just be held and feel secure but I was mad and actually hated him right now.

I was about to open my mouth and mutter an, "I'm sorry." He instead, stood up from the bed shaking his head, anger filling those blue eyes I loved.

"Whatever Liss. I'm going to go see what I can do to, dare I say, to save Rose since you don't seem to be trying to." The door slammed leaving me in shock and in tears.
