Im a little evil.:) Well anyways I hope you enjoy :)

Disclaimer: I don't own VA

Now usually I don't sleep very heavy but after last night I was physically and

emotionally drained. So when someone plopped down on my stomach it pissed me the

hell off until the person spoke.

"Get up sleepy head." She cooed

My eyes shot open "Lissa?"

She giggled "Yes! Who else would have the balls to wake up Rose Hathaway?"

I chuckled "No one."

She leaned over wrapping her arms around my neck "Oh Rose I have missed you

so much." She said about choking the life out of me.

"I missed you too Liss." I said pulling back so I could look at her. "Liss

what are you doing here?"

"Rose why would you ask that." A third voice spoke feigning hurt. "I cant

stand not waking up to your beautiful face." The third voice continued very

cocky might I add. Theres only one person that voice can belong too.

"Ah Sparky. I knew you were here somewhere Liss always keeps a tight leash on

you." I said with a smirk.

He growled at me and Lissa hit me in my arm playfully.

"You two behave." She said pointing fingers at both of us.

Christian walked up to her and kissed her cheek "Thanks babe." He said

throwing that stupid smirk of his towards me.

I stuck my tongue out at him. I don't know what it is about these two but they

always bring the fun and crazy side of me out. Christian does it only when I on

duty. Tatiana always yells at me because I always end up flipping him off. I

don't really care though I do it most of the time with out him even doing

anything I love to get a rise out of her.

I turned to Liss "What are you guys doing here?" I repeated my

question.

"To see you of course." She said in a 'DUH' tone. Sometimes it scares me how

much I have rubbed off on her. Christian hate it so that would mean it makes me

the happiest person alive.

"Okay I get that but how did you get stubborn ass Tatiana to let you come to

Strigio Alley?"

She started to blush "Well lets just say I more or less convinced her to let us come."

I put my Guardian mask up as soon as she said this otherwise I would have bust out laughing.

"No you did not." I said monotoned

She smiled deviously " I had too she said she wasn't going to let it happen."

"So you just compelled her. There was a reason she wouldn't let you come Liss, this place is very dangerous." I scolded.

She hung her head "Rose Im sorry. I just wanted to surprise you."

I sighed in defeat I couldn't stay mad at her. "Its okay. You can not leave the house at night in no way shape or form. When you do leave the house I have to be with you. Do you got me?"

She nodded her head excitedly "Yes I do."

I smiled at her "So how long are you guys going to be staying?"

"Just until the guardians from the court come. Then me and christian are going shopping!" Christian grimaced.

"Oh yeah thats right you have to get pyro new clothes." I said plainly.

They both looked at me confused.

"You know for the sex change next week." I said laughing.

"He growled at me "I don't need a sex change."

"Yes you do Liss isn't a lesbian didn't you know that?" I said holding my sides because they had begun to hurt.

This time Liss smacked me in the head "Rose!" She said smiling.

"What Im just telling the truth." I said shrugging my shoulders.

Just then Dimitri walked down stairs. his eyes widen when he saw Lissa.

He bowed I don't know how it did it being tall and all but he made it look graceful "Princess. Its a honor to meet you."

Me and Liss look at each other and started to laugh. Dimitri glared at me as he blushed.

"Lissa. Just call me Lissa." She said sweetly.

He nodded and smiled at her. I introduced everyone and Dimitri was going to leave with Christian when i spoke up.

"Hey would you like to train today?" i asked already knowing the answer.

"Let me think about that for a second." he said looking around the room "Uh yes!"

"Okay call eddie and ask if we can use his gym."

He dashed out of the room came back with his cell already to his ear a moment later. he talked for a few more minutes then all four of us began to walk out the door when Olena called.

"Rose will you take me to work today? I have to speak with you."

"Sure will." I smiled.

I turned to the three that were already standing on the porch talking.

"You guys go ahead. Go straight to Eddie's don't talk to one one."

"Yes mother." Christian snidely remarked.

Dimitri laughed that is until I turned towards him. "You better watch Liss with your life or your balls are mine."

He grimaced and grabbed for his package making me laugh..

I watched them until they rounded the corner. I trusted Dimitri that he would keep liss safe as he would me and plus its daylight so I don't have that much to worry about.

While I was waiting for Olena I went up stairs to pack a bag putting some clothes and all my blades in it. When I got back down stairs Olena was waiting by the door. We walked in silence for the first five minutes.

"Rose about Dimka I-" I cut her off.

"i know you don't have to thank. I love him and I would rather die before he did."

She smiled a knowing smile. "Well thank you regardless. I cant express how much it means for you to be here through all of this."

"Its my job and I will be here until it finished."

"Speaking of that i know for sure that I have it right this time. Do you think we could test it again when you get home tonight?" She asked.

"Yes we can. I will get a Strigio to go and bring it home for dinner," I said

This made her laugh "Okay thank as much as I don't want to do this I just want this over and done with." She sighed

"I know how you feel. Its the same way with Damon. I just want to kill him and get it over with but he never lets it be that easy. Damon loves to play games." I huffed.

"What happened last night?"

I knew what she was talking about but I decided to play stupid. "What are you talking about?" I asked. Out of the corner of my eye I saw her giving me a knowing look.

"About the out burst you looked close to being Strigio it was scary."

"I don't really know. But all I do know is that it felt like something nasty and dark took over me. Not like with the darkness i get from Liss either this was much worse." I shuddered remembering the feeling.

"I think it has something to do with the Strigio blood running through your veins." She said seriously.

I was shocked and only because she could be right. I didn't respond as we walked up the the building as I held the door open for her.

"Have everything ready. I will be there a little after sun down. Dimitri will be here to walk you home."I said

She took one last glance at me as she nodded and walked in.

I sighed and started to jog toward eddies. I didn't want to think about the reason I blew up like I did. If Olena was correct then that would mean its a lot worse then I would have thought. And if it got any worse I might as well be one of them. I stopped and I shook I could think about that. When I started up again I began to run. Running always made me feel better.

Before I knew it I was at Eddie's knocking on the door. Mason answered.

"Hey Rose. How are you doing?" He said uneasy. I heard the double meaning in his words.

"Im doing great. I ready to hand Dimitri's ass to him.Again.." I said trying to lighten the mood.

He laughed "This is going to be fun. Nobody has been able to beat Belikov."

"Well sit back make some popcorn and enjoy the show." I said grinning at him.

He gave me a lazy smile and nodded. We walked downstairs and Dimitri had his back turned to me. Bad move on his part. I laughed and pushed mason behind me.

"Watch this"

He chuckled softly and held the door open for me as I went into ninja mode. Eddie ,Liss and Christian saw me and I put my finger to my mouth. I snuck up behind him but he must have seen the difference in faces because when i got up behind him he swung his arm back towards me. I simply knocked his hand away but I didn't see his foot come up. I almost caught it but at the last second it connected with my stomach making me take a step back.

"That was very good. Now have you stretched?" I said getting right down to business.

"Yes." He said flatly

I walked away from him without word to the middle of the mats and crouched down. He just stood there looking at me.

I huffed stood up putting a hand on my hip "Don't make me come after you." I growled.

He smirked and started towards me "Yes ma'am" He then got into the fighting stance. I saw mason come in with a bowl of popcorn sitting down next to Eddie. He whispered "Belikov's going to get his ass kicked." Mason said. They both started to laugh and it made me smile.

We started to circle and he came at me first throwing a punch aiming for my chest I easily dodged and took him down. I heard the boys go into hysterics and he got up cussing.

"This is pointless Im never going to be able to take you down."

"The try harder and stop complaining like a little bitch." I spat.

I got what I wanted out of what I said he got pissed. We went back and forth for a little while each getting some nice hits in which surprised me. I don't know why I had such little faith in him when I am done with him they will be calling him a god. I was very proud about he hits he had been getting in from time to time making me lose my balance not a lot of people can do that. It was getting closer to dusk and it was time for me to get ready.

"You did very well today." I said smiling at him. He was out of breath when I went to walk away or so I thought. When my face hit the mat i was shocked as hell. I was flipped over with Dimitri on top of me. He leaned down to get in my ear make me shiver.

"I got you. You should have never turned your back." He said with a smug smile on his face and a cocky tone.

I smiled and started to kiss his neck. When he moaned I flipped him over so now that I was on top of him.

"ANd you shouldn't be so easily distracted." I said mocking him "You have to pick Olena up from work. Take all of them with you just incase something like that happens again."

He nodded and flipped me off of him and walked over to crowd. Dimitri talked to them for a bit then they went to leave. Liss came running over to me with Christian in tow. Do you see what I mean about the leash.

"Why aren't you coming with us?" She asked.

"Olena thinks she has the cure right again so I have to go hunting. I will be home after sundown."

She looked at me worried "Rose you could get hurt."

I scoffed " Yeah I don't think so." Well unless its Damon I run into I thought.

"Can I come with you. It sounds like fun." Christian asked.

"No!" Liss and me said in unison.

He ignored liss and looked at me "Come on Rose you know I can handle myself. And plus you can use me as bait."

I thought about it for a moment. Using fire-boy as bait would be fun not that I was going to let anything happen to him. I looked up at him and sighed.

"Oh no Rose that is not going happened." She told me.

"Look he's going to be with me so he will be safer than you will be with those three. And if something happens they only have to watch out for you." I said trying. "Besides I already used myself as bait last time they wont come so easily this time."

"Fine but I don't like this." She turned to Christian "I love you and please be careful."

He kissed her "Baby careful is my middle name well except when we are in the bedroom." he said with his usually smirk.

I gagged and liss turned a deep shade of red and slapped him on the back of his head.

I laughed "Liss you better get going. I will be dark soon and i dot want you out there. Damon will just love that."

She nodded kissed Christian again and left.

I grabbed the bag I brought with me and went into a room to change. I came out in a pair of black skinny jeans and a black shirt with a hood on it and my favorite combat boots. I put on my blades in there places. Christian stared wide eyed at the blades on my back.

"Can I see one of those." He asked walking behind me.

"Not even in your dreams Pyro. Now come on its time to go hunting."

He smiled and followed me out into the night. We walked for about five minutes when I stopped him. My stomach turned I knew they were close time to get things rolling I was getting hungry.

"I will be close to you you just wont see me. Just walk down the street and don't say nothing just act like your lost." I whispered right in his ear so the Strigio wouldn't hear.

He nodded and started looking around faking scared. He was a good actor not that I would ever say that out loud.

My stomach worsened just as the Strigio came out of the bushes. I was about to attacked when another came up from behind. Shit I should have heard him coming. FUCK.

"Christian hit the ground now." I yelled

I pulled out my switch blade stabbing it into the side of the Stirgio making him release me. For the second time in my life I pulled my blade out and through it that the Strigio advancing on Christian. It hit and stuck in to his head.

"That was so fucking cool." I heard Christian say.

I laughed and was attacked by the now healed and very pissed off Strigio. He had me pinned. He was a Old one very old by the strength of him. Then next thing I saw was a flash of bright light and the strigio fall of of my screaming. I was stunned for a second then pulled my dagger out of my boot slamming it into his heart. I dragged him out of the darkness and into the light so I could keep an eye on him. I went over to the other one just as he was starting to get up and cut his head off. I threw him in to the shadows along with his head. I picked up the Strigio with my blade in his heart and started to walk towards the house with Christian in front of me.

"That fire thing you did was really cool. I wouldn't mind fighting again with you." I said reluctantly

"Was that kind words coming form Rose's mouth. Holy shit. I can die a happy man now." He said with that stupid smirk on his face.

I glared at him "What ever. Come on lets get you home before Lissa has a heart attack. And do yourself and her a favor and don't talk about what happened."

"What are you talking about?" He asked trying to play innocent.

I shrugged " I don't know."

We got to the house about five minutes later and of course Lissa made a big deal over nothing. Olena came out with another vile.

"Lissa you take Christian inside and stay there until I say please." I asked

Christian tried to protest but Liss just pulled him inside and locked the door. So now it was just me, Dimitri, Olena, Eddie and Mason standing outside around the Strigio.

I hopped on top of him and threw his hands up above his head like the last one. "Olena are you ready?"

She cleared her throat "Yes I am."

I pulled the dagger out and it came to life. Olena walked over and poured the contents of the vile into his mouth.

So there you guys go..Love It? Hate It? Just let me know…R&R always :)

XoXo
