Last time on The Dark Shadows

Anna-"My birth name was Anastasia Fletcher, but now in your world I am known as Shadow-Kissed Anna."

Rose- "Shadow Warrior?"

Rose- "It was nothing," I said looking away from everyone, "It was just a headache."

Anna- "Well when a Spirit user brings someone back from the dead they give some of them their power, which makes them like a Moroi but not. They are also not what they used to be too. Like me I used to be a Dhampir but then Vlambir healed me back from the dead and well I became a Shadow Child then into a Shadow Warrior"

Anna- "Shadow-Kissed blood is much more powerful than Moroi."

Willow- "I'm Willow Markesan, Anna sent me here to talk to you."

Mia- "While I was looking around the library at Court and I asked if they had any books on Shadow-Kissed Anna and they gave me this."

Rose- "There's a ward broken,"

Harris- "Yeah she's fine. But I think she's close to passing through the second stage."

Mitch – "Your cousin."

Axel - "He wants you to be Rose's godfather."

Mitch – "I'm on stage three at the moment."

Rose - "But now with everything going on...I'm scared."

James - "Yes and no. Harris does care for both Rose and Mitch. But if he can do it is another thing."

Rose - "You don't know anything about me!"

Rose - "Does the name Hakim mean anything to you?"

Anna - "It means 'wise-person'"

Camille - "Plus, Dallas doesn't want to be too careful. As soon as the girl is dead, I'll kill the boy."

Harris - "Because I'm your godfather!"

Camille - "Let's put it like this, if you don't come to me, your cousin dies."

Rose - "STAY BACK!"

James - "Axel and Janine are both from the Hakim family bloodline, neither knew about all of the members being Shadow-Kissed or spirit users."

James - "No, it was thought to have ended, but no. The Hakims were being hunted by the Strigoi a lot because of their blood. So many people of the family were killed; they had no choice but to go into hiding. They changed their names to Hathaway and as the years went on, the family began to get small and they didn't know of their family's history. And that is why neither Axel nor Janine knew about it."

Harris - "I was assigned Rose's Godfather by her father."

Emma - "I'm Emma Newcastle, your new teacher."

Rose - "Stop talking to me like some kind of child!"

Dimitri - "Then stop acting like one!"

James - "The locket runs in the female part of the family. Since Janine didn't know about the family history, it wasn't passed onto her...so now it's passed on to you."

Rose - "UNCLE HARRIS! WATCH OUT!"

Chapter 12 Die In Hell

Everything was a blur at first when I started to open my eyes. Everything that just happened came flashing to me. A person...the car...and now. Everything was starting to come clear, it was dark, I was still in the car...upside down? I started to look around but then my neck ached and I groaned in pain, but then I manged to see something that horrified me.

"...Uncle...Harris...?" My thoart was dye but at least it something. But seeing Harris like that, out cold and bloody, made me want to throw up. I could barely move myself, I managed to move my hands to the roof to keep me steady. I turned my head - painfully - to my other side, not wanting to see Harris like that anymore. I looked out - through that once used to be window - and saw that person we ran over.

Suddenly I had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach...it was like...

Then I saw something that I thought would never happen.

The person moved.

His broken arm chicked back into place as well as his leg.

I gasped as I watched on, not being able to do anything but watch the person...

STRIGOI!

The person was a Strigoi!

Shit!

"Oh my god," I breathed as I reached for the handle with my broken wrist. The pain was terrible, but I had to get myself and Harris out of here before the Strigoi notice that we were still alive.

But as I tugged on the handle, the Strigoi paused and looked towards me. I could see it's red eyes from a mile away and it smirked towards me.

I started to panic as the Strigoi started to stand up.

I tugged harder and harder on the handle and I started to cry as the Strigoi started to walk towards the car.

As if in two seconds, he was closer to the car and I started screaming and crying for help.

It was like a flashback to what happened in Spokane. Where Mason died.

Then the Strigoi was gone. And I stopped screaming and looked closely to where the Strigoi was once standing.

"Rose?" Someone asked as they showed their selves in front of me.

I screamed for a second and then realised it wasn't the Strigoi.

"You are Rose right?" The man asked. He had strong arms with dark green eyes and black hair. He looked around in his 30s.

I nodded, even though it hurt. "Who was that? Who are you?" I choked.

"I'm Logan, a friend of James." He told me and looked behind him. "And I don't know who that was, but whoever she or he was, there gone now." He looked back to me. "Are you alright?"

I shook my head. "No, my...my head hurts and I-I think my wrist is broken." I said putting my hand towards him.

He nodded, "Anything else?"

I shook my head, "No, just bruises and cuts really...and I feel like I'm going to pass out any minute."

He nodded again, "Can you get out or not?"

I started to get annoyed. "Does look like it?" My head started to pain and I groaned.

He put his hand on mine calming me down, "Easy." He told me. "I know it was a stupid question but I need to know these things before I get you out, okay?"

I nodded.

"Okay," He breathed, "I'm going to get you out."

"But what about Uncle Harris?" I asked, to scared to look at him again.

"Far as I can tell, he's breathing. But I need to get you out first before I get him out."

I nodded again.

"Okay, I'm going to take the car door off and then I'll get you out."

I nodded which felt like for the thousand time.

He nodded back and then - with super Shadow-Kissed strength (well I think he was a Shadow Kissed anyway, why else would he have that kind of strength?) - ripped that destroyed car door off and threw it to the side.

"Now Rose I need you to put your hands on the roof okay?" He asked me. I did as I was told and put both of my hands - avoiding the glass - on the roof.

"Okay on three...one...two...three!" He quickly - with his Shadow-Kissed speed - got me out of the car and held me in his arms. Everything hurt, but I was glad to be what of there. He gently put me on the ground, with one of his arms still around my waist. I was a bit dizzy.

"What's going on? Is she alright?" Someone called and I could hear running towards us. I managed to see her when she got closer. She looked around Lucy's age with sandy brown hair and dark, dark brown eyes. In her voice I could hear some kind of accent. I swear I heard it somewhere before.

"No, not at the moment. I think she is going to pass out." Logan replied. "Can you take her back to the car and wait until I get Harris."

The girl nodded and walked towards me. As she put her arms around me, she whispered to Logan, "What's her name?"

"Rose." He breathed.

"Alright Rose, I need you stay with me long enough to get you in the car, okay?" Oh my god, what was with everyone and the word 'okay'?

But nodded and moaned. "I'm just really sleepy."

She half laughed, "I know, I remember when I fell out of a tree and banged my head. I wanted to fall asleep too." She told me as we started to walk towards the car not so far away.

"Did ya?" I asked.

She nodded, "Ma Mom managed to keep me up for a few hours to get the blood off and everything like that, but while she went to get the towel, I fell asleep." We both laughed, even though mine ended in coughing. "Just breathe."

I nodded, "Thanks." I said as we got to the car. As she opened the door, I asked, "Where you from?"

She smiled, "Russia." Ah! That's where I knew that accent from.

"Cool." I mumbled as she sat me down in the car. She quickly closed the door and came and sat on the other side of me at the back.

"You okay?" She asked again.

I nod, "Yeah, I...I...I think I'll go sleepys..." And then the darkness covered my eyes and fell to sleep.

"Rose?" A voice said. "Rose? Can you hear me?"

I tighten my eyes close before opening them. First I saw a white ceiling and the bright light.

"Hmmm..." I groaned as I looked to the side to a happy looking Mitch.

"Hey." He greeted.

"Hey..."I whispered.

"You okay?" He asked as he got up from his sit and stood over the bed I was laying in.

"If I said yes whould you believe me?" I asked.

He shooked his head. "Nope."

"Then no." I sighed "Is Uncle Harris okay?"

He sighed, "Yeah, he'll be fine, but he's still out cold and has a broken leg."

I nodded, "Good, at least he's not dead."

Then there was silence. For a moment I thought he was going to say that he was going to tell the others that I'm awake, but it was the opposite.

"Rose," He started, "Who was that person in the middle of the road?"

I strugged, "Honestly, I don't know Mitch, I wish I did but I don't." I started to rub my forehead.

"Your right, sorry." He told me.

I started to rub the back of my neck when I felt something. I was the locket. "I guess you didn't take it off then."

He laughed, "No, when we brought you in you kept mumbling 'Don't take it off'".

I blushed, embrassed that I was talking in my sleep. "Wait, where am I anyway?"

"In the HQ clinc." He told.

"What, this place a clinc?" He nodded, "How big is this place?"

"Very big." He told me.

I sighed and leaned back into my pillow while closing my eyes.

Suddenly I snapped them back open and said, "What about the academy? How long have I been asleep."

He struggled, "A day."

"A day?"

He nodded.

"Has anyone told the academy?" I asked.

"No, we are waiting for Harris to wake up and tell them."

I sat up and said, "Get me his moblie now." I told him.

He looked at me for a second before leaving the room.

When he came back, he brought Willow and Kara with him.

"Oh my god Rose, your okay." Willow said relieved.

"We were worried about you." Kara told me.

"There was nothing to worry about, not even a snake's bite can take me down." They both laughed at this as Mitch handed me Harris's moblie.

"What you doing Rose?" Kara asked.

"Texting the academy." I told them and they all went silent as I texted.

Alberta,

Me and Rose have gotten into an acient. Don't worry we're fine, just cuts and bruises that's all.

As soon as I can get a new car we'll be on our way back to the academy.

Harris.

I sent it and gave it back to Mitch.

"Well that's that sorted."

A few hours later they let me go. I went to see Harris, he's still out old but Leigh healed his leg, she wanted to heal my wrist but I said no. It would be better soon anyway, that's what the Doc said.

As Kara and Willow were showing me around the HQ - which is as big as where the Queen of England - when we bumped in James and Logan, the one who got me out of the car.

"Ah Rose, how are you." James asked.

"I'm fine, Kara and Willow were just showing me around." I told him and then turned to Logan. "By the way, thanks for saving my life, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't you and that girl." I said. "And I don't even know her name." I laughed.

Logan smiled and looked behind him. "Vikoria!" He called and the girl I saw last night came over.

When she did she smiled at me, "Rose, it's good to see you're okay."

I smiled, "No thanks to you..." I trailed off.

She laughed and put her hand out to me. "I'm sorry. I'm Vikoria. Vikoria Belikov."

My eyes widened, "A-As in Dimitri Belikov." I looked between Kara and Willow who both looked shocked too.

"You know Dimka?" Vikoria asked me.

"I..." I mumbled and then turned to James. "We may have a problem."

James and Logan told me that Vikoria is a Shadow-Kissed Child now as a spirit user brought back to life. However her bond mate - whose name was Roland - died straight after as Vikoria died as they were being attacked by Strigoi. Loagn found her straight afterwards and brought her here as she had to train to be one of us now. Since her bond mate died, she has passed stage one and now is on stage two. They also told me not to tell Dimitri or his family as I know what will happen if they knew what Vikoria was. I wasn't happy about it, but it was Vikoria and she did save my life, so it's the only way to repay her. But also she was dead nice and I could she was upset about everything that has happened.

I was with Willow and Kara in the living room when Mitch came running in.

"Rose!" He shouted as he came in. "It's Harris's, he's awake."

I quickly jumped out of my sit and followed Mitch.

We were soon at Harris's room, where he was sorting out his jacket.

He turned to us and said, "Well long time no see kids."

I reacted by jumping on him and giving him a tight hug.

"God, I was so worried."

"Don't, I'm fine, the doctor gave me the clean bill."

I broke his hug so that Mitch coiuld hug him. The hug between the two was short, but it was a start.

"So, ready to get going?" He asked me.

"What? Now?"

He nodded, "Yeah James gave me his car and the academy has been ringing like never before."

I laughed, "Yeah, I'll meet at the car I just need to see someone." Both of them nodded to me and I left.

As I entered the kitchen I heard loud happy laughter. I saw it was Lucy and Vikoria. I smiled as they were at the kitchen table messing around.

The both stopped laughing when they saw me and smiled. "Hey Rose." Vikoria said.

"Hey Vikoria, I just -"

"Please call me Vik."

I laughed, "Alright Vik, I just came to say goodbye and thanks again for saving my life."

She shook her head, "No thanks needed, I did what anyone else would of have done."

I smiled. "And also, if there is anything you need, just come to me, OK?"

She bit her lip, "Alright, thanks."

"Okay, I guess I'll see you guys later."

"See ya." They both said as I left the kitchen.

As we drove back to the academy, I couldn't stop thinking about the Strigoi. I mean why would a Strigoi stand in the middle of road and then runaway? It made no sense. But maybe if it wasn't suppose it make sense? Maybe it was set up. That Strigoi tried to get us killed but not really wanting to feed on us. But how could he not react to Shadow-Kiss blood? Maybe he almost did. I mean he did walk over to the car until Logan came, maybe he was going to finish off the job. But why would a Strigoi want to kill two people? Unless...

Wake up to the game Rose, otherwise you are going to be laying in ground next to Camille...

I gasped as my eyes widened.

Harris looks to me with a confused look. "What?"

I look to Harris and say, "I think I know who tried to kill us."

MY POV

Lissa was worried, worried to the bone. She had been playing with her hair for the last half an hour. Waiting for Rose and Guardian West to return. Alberta came to Lissa room and told her that they both had been in a car acient. Even though they were both okay, Lissa couldn't help but worry. Right now she was in the Headmistress's office with Stan, Alberta, Dimitri and the Headmistress. They had just got word that West and Rose were back and well...

Then there was a knock at the door.

"Come in!" Called the Headmistress.

West walked in, alone.

"Ah, West, I'm glad your okay but where is Hathaway?" Headmistress asked.

"Ugh...she had to see someone."

"What? You mean Lissa because she is already here." Alberta said pointing to Lissa.

Harris looked at the worried Lissa and then back to Alberta, "No, someone else."

"Who?" Dimitri growled.

"I don't think that is any of your business Belikov." Harris told Dimitri.

Dimitri was raging with anger as he took a step towards Harris but Alberta stopped him.

"Dimtri. Not. Now." Alberta told Dimitri.

Dimitri glared at Harris before nodding and taking a step back.

"You maybe Rose's godfather Guardian West," Headmistress started. "But that won't stop us looking out for Rose, is that understood?"

Harris nodded, "Understood."

Emma was packing her stuff away in her classroom. She had tutoring today and it was a long one, she was about to leave when Rose stormed in the room.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" She shouted as she entered the room.

Emma looked confused, "I'm sorry."

"Alright, you want kill, then do it! But don't try and hurt the people I care about or I swear to god that will be the last time you breathe!" Rose yelled, Emma was surpirsed that no else could hear her.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about this!" Rose pointed to her broken wrist. "Someone was standing in the middle of the road, making me and Harris get into a car crash."

"And you think it was me?" Emma shouted now.

"Well you did threaten me!"

Emma sighed, "I would never do that to Rose. You nor Mitch."

"Yeah ri-" Rose cut herself off. "How do you know Mitch."

"Rose-"

"No! No more lies, it's time to tell; Who the hell are you?" Rose asked.

"I never tell you like this." Emma told Rose.

"And what is that?"

Emma took a deep breath before saying, "I'm you aunt, Rose."

DUH DUH DUH! Whoa, I guess you weren't extending that, but I was :D I would like to thank all of you for your comments and your support. I couldn't do it without you lot. :) Now what did you think? What about Dimitri's sister? Please be honest and tell me. Have a nice day ;)
