-Laura (:

Rose POV

Adrian and I were still laughing about what we did to Christian, and started planning a time to torture him in a dream again soon. Of course, we had to be careful about it and make sure Lissa doesn't find out. She was so pissed at us the other day. Ha-ha.

"Well, we could get a baseball bat and wop him from behind until he's out cold, and then we could-"

"Adrian," I cut him off, "did you hear that?"

"Hear what?" Adrian said. Adrian was silent for a few seconds and listened.

"I could have sworn I heard a noise from outside," I said getting up. I went over to window and gasped at what I saw.

"What is it?" Adrian said. I didn't answer him, and I ran downstairs as fast as I could. I was terrified at the sight I saw. Christian was sprawled out onto the floor with the strigoi girl that had kidnapped him before, hovering over him. Dimitri was trying to attack the girl, but she kept leaping away from him.

I ran into the middle of the fight, and the girl slashed her nails into my cheek. I could feel thin lines of blood begin to form. I ignored the stinging pain, and lurched forward to stake her. I was inches away from her heart, and she kicked my leg and I fell to the ground. My head banged into the floor, and Dimitri came sprinting over to help me up. He helped me gain my balance back, and I stumbled over to a wall to lean on for support.

"Kaitlyn. Stop," Christian chocked out. His body sifted to the side, and he turned his face up to look at Kaitlyn.

"Why? Do they mean something to you?" Kaitlyn said. Who the hell does this chick think she is?

"Yes," Christian groaned. "Please will you stop? You can take me just stop hurting my friends," he said, his voice almost a whisper. He sat up, and I saw the whole left side of his body was bruised.

"I suppose I could let that happen. But will I do that? Probably not," Kaitlyn grinned and was at my side in less than a second. "I could twist her head off right now," she said holding me by the neck. I spit in her face and she wiped it away and threw me into the wall.

"Rose!" Adrian came running from the building, and he picked me up from the ground.

"Adrian…leave…now. I can't protect you. Get Christian out of here too," I said. My eyes began to close, and Adrian started crying. Christian collapsed, and the last thing I saw was Dimitri falling to the ground.

"Rose? Rose?" I felt a bright light shine on my eyes, and I shielded my eyes until the light went off.

"Do you have to blind her to wake her up?" I heard Adrian say angrily.

"Adrian?" I mumbled.

His voice softened and he was at my side holding my hand. "Hey, Rose. How do you feel?"

"Better," I answered. I didn't feel any pain at all actually. "Did you heal me?"

Adrian's eyebrows furrowed and he looked down to the ground. "I…well I would have, but I wasn't exactly…sober, and Lissa's not here she's at Royal Court with Mia…they're on their way over, and Christian's in the room next to you. He got a little beat up, but he was healed. The new girl, Lauren healed you both. She came from Ireland or something. She's a spirit user," Adrian explained still looking down at the floor. Damn. He feels guilty now.

"Adrian, it's okay that you didn't heal me I don't—"

"No, it is not okay, Rose. You were hurt, and I couldn't fix that. You could have died, and I would be just standing there watching you." I stared at him healed you both. or a few seconds, unsure of what to say. I then remembered Dimitri and I shot up.

"Wait. What happened to Dimitri? Is he okay?" I said. All the faces in the room froze and they looked at one another waiting for the other person to say something. I gave them all a questioning look.

"Rose…Dimitri…he's" —a doctor began to say.

"Dead," Adrian finished for him.

Lissa's POV

"Mia, remember when Adrian said he overheard his aunt talking about Christian's mom breaking the compulsion spell? It says right here, that she and a few of her friends broke the spell on her husband…Christian's dad…a few years before he were born," I said showing Mia the big book I found in Tatiana's closet. I used compulsion on one of the guardians to get into her closet full of books with a bunch of important information in them.

"What? How did she do it?" Mia said glancing up from her book.

"It says she used the five elements to…somehow suck the magic out of him…I don't understand exactly how she did it. It's kind of confusing the way she wrote it," I said flipping through the pages trying to find something a little more useful.

"Text message," Mia said looking at her screen. Her eyes widened and she grabbed my wrist and started pulling me towards the door.

"What is it?" I demanded. She quickly typed a response and turned her attention to me.

"It's Rose."

Rose POV

"Rose! Are you okay?" Lissa came busting into the room with Mia not far behind.

"I'm fine, Liss," I said.

"Do you need me to heal you?" she said searching me for any kind of cut or bruise.

"I'm fine, Liss!" I said.

"What happened? I heard Dimitri…"

"Kaitlyn got in, and she killed Dimitri…Christian got hurt but he was healed and so did I," I said.

"Dimitri's…Who healed you guys? Adrian?" Adrian looked at me blankly waiting for me to respond to her question.

"Um…no…some girl named Lauren," I said. Lissa's eyes were tearing up.

"What? We're fine, Liss," I said.

"Yes, but Dimitri! What happened to him?" She said sobbing. I was expressionless.

"No one knows. I think she staked him," Christian said coming into the room.

"Christian! Are you okay?" Lissa said jumping into his arms.

"I'm fine. Kaitlyn ran off somewhere," Christian said.

"Rose and Christian? You guys can leave now. You're healed so you may go," the doctor said.

"Okay," me and Christian said at the same time.

"Everyone. Upstairs to Adrian's room. Mia and I have something to tell you," Lissa said holding onto Christian tightly.

We got upstairs and Lissa told us everything she and Mia had found out. We all stared at her stunned.

"I want us all to use our powers to break the spell Rose is under," Lissa said.

"We don't have an earth or air user," Adrian pointed out.

"Yes, but we can get some," Lissa said.

"Like who?" Adrian said raising an eyebrow.

"I don't know! There has to be someone…isn't Jesse's younger brother…Dane air user? And I think Aaron is earth…" Lissa said. Christian stiffened next to Lissa. He glanced over at me and I glared at him. He's getting jealous over Aaron! Ugh.

"I think you're right. Mia, can you get Aaron? And Liss can you and Christian get Dane? I have some things I need to deal with right now," I said nodding my head towards Adrian. They nodded their heads and left.

Adrian barley looked at me.

"Adrian, what the hell is the matter with you?" I said sitting next to him on his couch.

"I'm going to lose you. I knew it from the beginning, but I didn't want myself to believe it. I knew it was too good to be true," Adrian said, getting a bottle of vodka.

"Adrian, what are you talking about? I'll always love you," I said.

"No. Stop saying that. You don't love me. You're under Tasha's spell. When we break it you won't even glance my way," Adrian said taking a sip.

"Adrian! You sure as hell know that that is not true!" I said.

"Yes, yes it is true," Adrian said.

"Adrian, please! Don't think that way! Even if I wasn't under a spell I would still love you," I said walking towards him. I put my arms around his neck, and he almost caved in, but then he jumped away.

"Nope. Not falling for it," Adrian said. He mumbled something to himself, and started pacing.

"Adrian, please stop," I pleaded. He never glanced at me, and continued pacing, occasionally taking a sip of his vodka. I said nothing and just watched him, until Lissa, Christian, and Mia came back in with Aaron and Dane.

"Okay," Lissa clapped her hands together. "What we have to do is everyone must use their element on Rose…except Christian? Don't burn her! Just put the fire around her. Adrian you don't have to do anything. Okay. Let's get started."

I closed my eyes, clearing all my thoughts of Adrian, and waited. I felt a weird tingling feeling around my skin, and when I opened my eyes everyone was staring at me, waiting. I opened my mouth, and then dropped to the ground. Adrian shot me a I told you so look, and Lissa came running over to me.

"Rose? What's wrong?" I just sat there with my mouth open.

"She's in shock over what happened. When she was under the spell she didn't really care about Dimitri, but now that she had her real feelings back, she's upset," Adrian explained.

"Dimitri…" I said, ignoring Adrian. I started to sob, and Lissa held me in her arms.
