*Rose P.O.V~ Date with Odd*

Odd parked in front of the restaurant and he stepped out of the car. He closed his door and went around to open my door. I took his hand and got out of the car. Odd gave his car keys to the valet parking guy and we went inside the restaurant.

"A table for two please," Odd told the woman at the front.

"Alright. Please follow your waiter to your table," the lady said.

"Good Evening, my name is Hank and I will be your waiter," a man with blonde hair and green eyes said as he came up to us.

"Follow me to your table," he said after he had paused to look at us.

We followed him towards the back section of the restaurant. He went to pull out the chair for me to sit in, but Odd beat him to it. I smiled at Odd as I sat down and he sat down on his chair. Hank gave us our menus and gave us three minutes to choose what we wanted.

"You know Odd, I still can't stop wondering why you brought me to a Mexican restaurant," I said as I looked at him.

"I wanted to try it out," Odd said.

"You know that technically, I'm only Mexican because the Wolf and Witch Clans fall over Mexico, if it were mapped out," I said.

"I know," he said.

"You do? How?" I asked.

"Calvin explained it to me when I remembered Miley saying something about mapping out your home over our maps," Odd told me.

"So… what is good to eat?" Odd asked me.

"How about some enchiladas?" I asked him.

"What are those?" he asked.

"Its tortillas covered in chili and rolled up. It can have shredded chicken, cheese among other things," I explained.

"Are they spicy?" he inquired.

"Most of the times yes… but that depends on the cook," I said.

"Does it have anything else with it?"

"If you want I can order it for you," I said.

He nodded.

Hank came over to our table and asked us if we were ready to order

"Yes. We would like some enchiladas with everything," I said.

"Shredded chicken, cheese, lettuce, and cream?" Hank asked me.

I nodded. He came back a few minutes later with a small basket of chips and two glasses of water.

"Here are some chips to munch on while you wait and some water to drink," Hank said.

"Thank you," Odd and I said.

I grabbed a chip and dipped in the small salsa bowl next to the chips. It was red salsa, my favorite. I bit down on the chip and closed my eyes when I tasted the slight spiciness of the salsa. Odd grabbed a chip and dipped it in the salsa as well. He ate two more and called it quits.

"Ha. You can't handle the spice?" I mocked him.

"You are used to eating spicy. I'm not," Odd defended.

"And I love you for that," I said as I patted his hand.

"And I love you the way you are," Odd said as he kissed my hand.

Hank came back with our order. We ate in silence. The enchiladas weren't really that spicy but it was filling. After we had finished eating we left the table after paying and headed outside. We both gasped when we saw that it was pouring. The guy brought the car and we rushed inside the car. It was pouring really hard and we didn't have the ice chains.

"We should head to a hotel. That way we don't get into an accident or anything," Odd said.

"Alright. I'll just call Calvin to let him and the rest know," I said.

Odd nodded. I took out my cell phone and hit speed dial.

Calvin picked up on the second ring.

"Hello?" he said.

"Calvin? Odd and I are going to spend the night at a hotel, seeing as that it's pouring cats and dogs out here," I said.

"Alright. Just get a room with two beds," he told me.

"We'll try to. Bye," I said.

"Bye,"

I hung up and looked over at Odd.

"Calvin told me to get a room with two beds," I said with a smile.

"Going to be hard to get one. The hotel we're headed to only has about six rooms with two beds. The others are only one," Odd said.

"We'll see when we get there," I told him.

After a while, he pulled into the parking lot of the hotel. We ran into the hotel and went up to the receptionist.

"A room for two please," Odd, said.

"I'm sorry, but all our rooms are occupied… we do have one available, but it is a one bedroom," the lady said as she checked the computer.

"We'll take it," I said as I rubbed my hands over my arms.

"Alright. If you would please sign here," she said as she turned a thick book towards us.

Odd signed it and I took the keys that she offered us. We walked towards room 10A. I opened the door and went inside. Odd immediately went towards the closet to see if there were any clothes, but only found a white robe. He turned towards me and held it out.

"Here, you should wear it," he said.

"But what about you?" I asked as I took the robe.

"I'll go and ask for another one. I'll be back," Odd said.

I slipped out of my dress and put the robe on. It was a size too big for me but I made sure it covered me. I blushed at the thought of Odd and I being half naked and sleeping on the same bed. Odd came back in and he went to the bathroom to change. We both lay down on the bed and soon drifted off to a dreamless sleep… at least Odd did. I was plagued with visions and nightmares only… they weren't my dreams but someone else's.

*Odd P.O.V~ the next morning*

I woke up before 6 p.m., which was a first for me. Rose wasn't beside me but I heard the water running in the bathroom. The water cut off and after a while, Rose came out wearing the robe. Her hair was damp and I noticed that she had bags underneath her eyes. I sat up and asked, "What's wrong? Why couldn't you sleep?"

"Visions and nightmares," she said.

She came over and sat down on my lap.

"Only that… they weren't my nightmares or visions but someone else's," she added after a 5 second silence.

"Who's?" I asked as I rubbed her back.

"I don't know," she whispered.

"Was it through a link? Could it have been Calvin?" I prodded.

"I know it wasn't through Calvin or you. It was through a link… but a contact one. Someone wants me to know something critical that is about to happen but who?" she asked.

"Get dressed. We need to go back over to the Hermitage," I said.

She stood up and grabbed her dress. She headed to the bathroom and I put my shirt, tux jacket and pants back on. We fixed the bed and headed towards the reception desk. We paid and turned in the key. We got in my car and headed towards the Hermitage. I pulled up into the driveway and we got out of the car. I opened the door and we both headed inside.

"Guys? Are you awake?" I called out.

"Calvin? Girls?" Rose called out.

"Odd? Rose? What is all this ra-" Calvin was saying as he came out of the living room but stopped short when he saw Rose's damp hair.

He growled.

"Calvin, I took a shower and I…" Rose trailed off as she inclined her head slightly.

"You had better not," he said.

"Not without freeing our people. I don't want to relax until this war is over," Rose said.

I cleared my throat and they looked towards me. Rose raised her eyebrow and then turned to look at Calvin.

"Calvin? I want to ask you if you can trace someone who contacted me," Rose said.

"When did they contact you?" Calvin asked, his eyes never leaving Rose's.

"Last night when Odd and I had just fallen asleep. It was a few minutes after I had fallen asleep that the vision and nightmares started," Rose told him.

"I could do it after breakfast…" Calvin said but Rose closed the space between them as she grasped his shirtfront.

"No! The images are gruesome! It has to be right now!" Rose all but yelled.

"What is all this yelling about?" Jeremie asked as the others appeared at the top of the stairs.

"Rose was plagued with visions and nightmares," I explained.

"About what?" William asked.

"That is what I want to show you," Rose said.

"Let's head to the living room," Calvin indicated for Rose to go first.

We all settled down on the couches and Calvin stood behind Rose who was sitting on a chair from the Dining Room. Calvin placed his hands on Rose's forehead and Rose had her hands on her lap, palms up. They both glowed a grayish tone and then it was as if we were inside Rose's mind. Rose was right. The images were gruesome.

1st VISION~ Mendoza siblings Home world.

Rose, Calvin and the rest of the siblings, were standing near Wolf Arcade. We were looking through Rose's eyes. They were all looking around when Hazel cried out in pain. Rose turned her head and we all gasped when we saw an arrow sticking out of Hazel's stomach. Hazel looked up with tears in her eyes and whispered a good bye, before she fell to the ground. Rose lunged forward but Faith and Hope stopped her from reaching Hazel.

"Leave her! We need to get out of here!" Faith screamed.

"No! We can't just leave her without burring her!" Rose cried out.

"Rose, we have to g-" Hope was saying when she cut off short as an arrow struck her back.

Within minutes all the siblings and Sandry, minus Rose, were all fallen upon the ground.

"No… no, no, no, no, NO!" Rose cried out as she fell to her knees, tears flowing down her cheeks.

"I wanted to keep you guys alive, but you had too much hope inside of your hearts so, I had to get rid of a… few," the woman from when we saved Rose and the rest of the girls said.

"X.A.N.E…" Rose said as she glared at the woman.

"Why? Why kill them when I'm the one that you can't control anymore?" Rose asked.

The woman- X.A.N.E- stayed silent.

"Why?" Rose demanded as she stood up and her hands glowed red.

"Because you have a new life inside of you and I plan to use it against you," X.A.N.E said.

Rose's eyes widened as she started to take short breaths.

"H-how do y-you know?" Rose stuttered out.

"I was the one that made you two fall over the edge," X.A.N.E said.

"What?" Rose asked shocked.

"Now come before I have the Eternals take you by force," X.A.N.E said.

"No" Rose said as she got a determined look in her eyes.

"Very well," X.A.N.E said as she snapped her fingers.

Three men came out of the shadows and went straight towards Rose. Two of them grabbed her by her arms and the last one stood in front of her as he raked his eyes up and down her body.

"I think I'll enjoy having you in bed," he said.

"I wouldn't be so confident in yourself," Rose said as she spat at his face.

"Wench!" he yelled and punched her in her stomach.

Blood came out of Rose's mouth due to the force of the punch. The man punched her again and was going to hit her on her neck when he turned to dust.

X.A.N.E stood in front of Rose and told the men to kill her. The vision ended before both men brought their hands down on her head.

Nightmare~ At the Hermitage

Rose was sitting in the corner of a dirty bed, She had her back pressed against the wall and had her knees drawn up to her chest. The room was dark and Rose kept muttering things to herself. The door opened and Rose tucked her head in between her arms. Someone stepped inside the room followed by four more men. Two of them grabbed Rose by her arms and she started to shriek in an animalistic way as the four men restrained her on her bed. Two held her down by her arms while the other two held her down by her legs. Rose had opened her eyes and we saw that a man in a white coat had a needle filled with purple fluid, place it over Rose's arm. He stuck the needle in and pushed the fluid into Rose's system.

Somehow we all felt the burning sensation it brought along with it. Rose screamed and when the man took out the needle, the men let go of her as her body convulsed. After a while she fell limp but her heart was still beating. The scene changed and Rose was looking up at Calvin and me. Rose sat up and screamed. Her scream pierced through us and we all yelled in pain. The last thing the nightmare showed was all of us lying scattered across the ground, torn apart and in front of a hybrid form of Rose. _

I looked around the others when the vision and nightmare faded away. Yumi, Aelita and Sissy looked green and they were leaning against their boyfriends. Ulrich, Jeremie and William were pale but they had anger in their eyes. Rose was holding her head. Calvin was hunched over, grasping the back of the chair tightly.

Sandry and the rest of the girls came in and tensed when they felt the atmosphere.

"What's wrong?" Miley asked.

"Nothing… just that we showed them my vision and nightmare," Rose said.

"I tracked the person down… its Abigail," Calvin said.

"The girl who almost killed me?" Miley said.

Calvin nodded.

"But why would she contact me?" Rose asked incredulous.

"Because she probably can't tell which magic trail belongs to who," Miley said.

"We can go a free our people in 3 days. That will give us enough time to gather Abby and the others," Molly suggested as she stared at Rose.

I glanced over and saw that her eyes were glazed over.

"That should give us enough time to get them," Rose said.

"Call them. I'll go and tell Dr. Mendez and his sister-in-law," Calvin said.

"The receptionist is his sister-in-law?" I asked.

"She is the mate of Dr. Mendez's mate's brother," Sandry explained.

Rose took out her cell phone and scrolled through the contacts. She hit dial and brought the phone to her ear. Calvin and Sandry left to go and talk to Dr. Mendez and his sister-in-law.

"Abby? Yeah, it's me Rose… listen, I just called to tell you guys that in three days, we are going to leave for home…" Rose said.

"You'll be here by tomorrow? But where are you going to sleep? There isn't any room around here," Rose said

"Wolf? Bird and bat forms? Aren't you going to be sore after being in that form for two days? No? Alright, it is going to be all of you guys that will be complaining… bye," Rose said as she hung up.

"Abby said that they should all be here by tomorrow and that they will stay in wolf, bird and bat forms in order to save space," Rose told us.

"They will be sore when they can finally morph back," Molly snorted.

"But they won't listen," Hazel said.

She walked over to Sissy and held her arms up. Sissy picked her up and Hazel played with her hair. Sissy and Hazel developed a close relationship since the day Calvin scared Hazel.

"We should get started on breakfast…" Rose murmured.

Rose, Molly, Faith and Hope walked out of the living room and went to the kitchen. The rest of my friends went upstairs to change out of their pajamas. Sissy gave Hazel to Sally and both girls ran to the den. I decided to follow them so that they wouldn't get scared like last time. Both girls had run into the den while they were playing hide and seek with their sisters. They had been there for only a few minutes when they heard the heater groan as it worked to heat up the water and keep the stove aflame. They got so scared that they ran out screaming and wouldn't calm down until Rose and Molly placed a sleeping spell on them.

I stayed with them until Rose called out that breakfast was ready. We ate and then passed the day with our different activities.
