Rose POV
Rose POV
"Little Dhampir, that wasn't very nice. Now I'm going to have to get changed," Adrian said. He ran a hand through his wet hair and smiled.
"You started it!" I said, splashing water in his face. He leaned in to kiss me, but I watched as he sat there waiting, with his lips puckered and his eyes closed. I started laughing, and he opened his eyes.
"If I apologize will you kiss me?" he said. I thought for a second.
"Nope," I said, grinning.
"God, Little Dhampir. Can't you see I just want an excuse to kiss you? Actually, fine," Adrian said. He stood up, and started climbing out of the fountain, smirking. I sighed.
"Guess I'm just going to have to spend my night with Fire-Boy…" I climbed out of the fountain, walking past Adrian, and making my way to Christian's dorm. I heard his sneakers squishing after me and turned to see Adrian sprinting towards me, soaking wet. I started running away, and he chased right after me.
He grabbed me from behind, and we both went falling down into a big puddle of mud. I started laughing hysterically, and he joined in. He slid his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him. I rubbed my hands in the mud, and smeared the mud all over his face. He scrunched up his nose, took a handful of mud, and threw it at me. I jumped on top of him, pinning him down, and gathered up as much mud as I could and threw it on top of him.
"Rose?" I heard a voice say. I turned my head to see Lissa and Christian staring down at me and Adrian. They were both dressed up nicely.
"Hey, Liss," I said. Christian was hysterical behind her.
"That's a good look for you, Rosie. The whole mud all over you thing really suits you," Christian said. I smiled sweetly, and tried to grab him so I could pull him down, but he jumped back.
"Rose," Lissa grumbled, "we're going out to dinner! Don't get him all muddy! We were going to invite you guys, but…" Lissa looked at us and laughed.
"Oh. Maybe tomorrow night. Unless you want to wait for us…" I began.
"No," Christian said. Lissa glared at him.
"Tomorrow," she said. "And don't come with mud all over you…" Lissa said.
"We'll try not to. I don't know if Rose can…contain herself around me. You know how she gets. On the way she'll probably decide to throw me in a mud pile and attack me," Adrian said. Lissa and Christian laughed, and said their goodbyes. I scowled at Adrian, and he chuckled.
"Let's go get cleaned up, Little Dhampir," Adrian said, standing up.
"What if I don't want to?" I said, still sitting in the mud.
"Then I would have to compel you," Adrian said, leaning against a tree.
"You wouldn't," I said, glaring.
"Okay, you're probably right, but still. If you want to go out to dinner," Adrian said walking towards me, "then we have to go now," he paused, now standing right in front of me. "You," he said, leaning down and tapping my nose, "have school tomorrow." I groaned.
"I can skip," I complained.
"Do you want to graduate?" he said.
"Oh, come on. One day won't kill me," I said rolling my eyes.
"Come on," he said, helping me up. We headed towards the dorms, hand in hand.
-Next dayyyyyy-
Lissa, Christian, Mia, Adrian, and I met up for lunch the next day. We all sat down at a round table and a few people started making conversation.
I looked at Adrian and mentally rolled my eyes. He was wearing his designer brand black pants, with a white designer T-shirt, and black sneakers. He also had the hottest sunglasses tucked in the collar of his shirt. I had to admit, he did look pretty hot with his styled messy hair and all.
Lissa, looking perky as ever, was wearing a pink Hollister shirt, short jean shorts, and a pair of two inch tall pink heels. Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail with a pink ribbon tied around it.
Mia's outfit looked similar to Lissa's, but she was wearing blue instead of pink, and she accessorized with blue hoop earrings and a few dangling bracelets.
Christian wore his usual get-up. Black T-shirt, black jeans, and black sneakers. His long emo-styled hair covered his gorgeous blue eyes (as much as I hate to admit it, they are gorgeous), and he wore a black leather wristband (…loser) with a name of some band on it.
I, on the other hand, looking sexy as usual, wore a gold top with a cropped leather black jacket and some sexy black skinny jeans. I had on black strappy heels, a gold necklace, and gold earrings. Yeah, I know…I'm a show off. But, hey, you gotta look good for school, right? Actually, scratch that. You gotta look good for everything. I was interrupted by my fashion thoughts when I saw a little red-head appear from the corner of my eye. I shot out of my seat.
"Lauren, you little bitch!" I tried to reach out for her, but two strong hands were grabbing me from around my waist, holding me back. I could smell vodka so I knew instantly it was Adrian. Lauren's blue eyes widened and she started to back away.
"Adrian, god damn it! Let me go!" I shouted. A few heads turned to watch my little outburst, but I didn't care. I was going to murder her.
"Little Dhampir, calm down. You're causing a scene," Adrian whispered in my ear.
"I don't give a shit!" I yelled at him, struggling to get out of his grip. I eventually wriggled my way out and launched myself at Lauren.
"Rose, please! Let me explain—" Lauren started to say. I punched her square in the face. The room went quiet for a minute. She put her hands on her face, and a guardian had to escort her to the nurse.
"Hathaway!" Stan called, charging towards me.
"Shit," I mumbled. "Yes, Guardian Alto?" I snarled.
"Detention!" he yelled. I groaned.
"It was her fault! She's a little bitch!" I yelled back.
"Rosemarie! Don't push my buttons. Be grateful I'm not giving you detention for the whole month!" Stan said with a warning look. He marched out of the cafeteria. I shot daggers at anyone who looked at me as I made my way back to my table.
"Rose! You didn't have to punch her!" Lissa said.
"You know it's her fault that all this happened!" I shot back at her.
"That doesn't mean you punch the damn girl," Christian said with a smirk.
"You were pretty badass out there," Adrian said.
"Don't encourage her," Lissa snapped.
"Hey, I'm against violence 100 percent. I'm just saying…" Adrian said.
"Maybe you should have let Lauren talk…" Mia said.
"Why? It's gonna be all lies anyway!" I said.
"Well, I'm going to see what she was going to say," Lissa said, standing up. "And, I'll probably have to heal her," Lissa said glaring at me. I rolled my eyes, and sighed.
"Liss. She's a total fake! Don't fall in her trap!" I said. She ignored me and walked away with Christian trailing behind her.
Lissa POV
I heard Rose calling after me, but I ignored her. If she hadn't lost her temper, if she had just listened to what Lauren had to say, this wouldn't be an issue. But, of course Rose's anger got the best of her, and now I have to go heal the person who caused this mess.
I got to the infirmary and cleared my annoyed thoughts. I stepped in and saw Lauren sitting on the edge of one of the beds, holding a bloody bandage to her face. As soon as I saw her hurt, I had the strong familiar urge to heal. I walked over to her and tried to smile, but couldn't get past the nasty welt on her face. I knew she could tell I was staring, and she bowed her head down so her red hair fell, covering her face.
"Hey," I said softly, resting a hand on her shoulder. She looked up at me uncertainly, and then everything came out quickly.
"I'm sorry about what happened, Lissa! I didn't mean to do all of that compulsion, and all the other horrible things I did; I was just trying to protect my sister! I wish I could take it all back!" her face got red as she ran out of steam and had to take a breath.
"Lauren! Calm down!" I said. What the heck was going on with her? She looked like she was about to have a mental breakdown. "It's okay, Lauren, just start over."
She took another deep breath and winced. "Here, let me heal you first." I held onto her arm and focused, sending enough spirit into her body until her face was back to normal and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thanks," she breathed. I nodded and sat down next to her.
"So, what's happening with your sister? She's not safe?" I asked, trying not to sound obvious. But I was trying to get all the information I could get. I felt really bad that Rose punched Lauren, but I also couldn't forget that Lauren had betrayed us. I just wanted to hear the truth behind it. I watched Lauren's face as it changed expressions quickly. Guilt, regret, pain, and shame.
"I lived in a house in Ireland with my little sister, Samantha," she began quietly. "She was only eight the last time I saw her, I missed her ninth birthday." Lauren started to sob. "Then Kaitlyn found out about my powers, and she took me away from my sister. She said that if I didn't do what she said…she would kill Samantha!" She wailed. I put an arm around her, trying to comfort her. I wasn't as mad at her as much when I found out she was threatened. I would have done the same thing to keep my brother alive, if it were me and Andre. But of course, I would have Rose to bust my ass out of that situation.
"I'm sorry that happened, Lauren. Just tell me what you know," I encouraged. She continued.
"Kaitlyn was keeping me with her, so she could use me for whenever she needed my powers. Finally she came to Montana and found what she was looking for at St. Vlad's."
"Christian?" I asked. My stomach churned. Lauren nodded.
Christian had told me…that he and Kaitlyn used to date when they were younger. But he said that he didn't feel the same way about her, he had loved her only as a friend…And when he let her down, she took it hard and became Strigoi. I shuddered.
"Kaitlyn told me she wanted Christian dead, but she needed to get through his friends first. That's when I came in." Lauren shook her head in shame. She hesitated to continue. I had to nudge her.
"Go on," I said. "I'm not mad at you," I assured her.
"After Kaitlyn attacked…and Rose and Christian got hurt, she sent me to heal them. She wanted me to be someone you and your friends could trust, so you wouldn't expect me to be working for her." She sighed. "Dimitri was dead, though, and she knew she could use his death to bring in Rose. So she made me drug Rose and threaten her. I had to give her two options: I would bring Dimitri back to life, so long as she helped Kaitlin kill Christian. Or, if she didn't help Kaitlyn, I would have to compel her to kill Adrian." My breath caught in my throat.
"And what did she chose?" I asked slowly. I couldn't imagine Rose picking either one of those horrible options. Unless she was under compulsion.
"She agreed to help Kaitlyn kill Christian." I gasped.
"What? Did you compel her?" I shrieked. Lauren's eyes got wide and watery.
"No! I wasn't sure…I didn't know what would happen. But I didn't have to compel her, she chose on her own! I swear," she said, holding her right hand up in the air. I looked at her and frowned. But the look on her face was pleading me to believe her.
But how could Rose chose to kill Christian? I felt angry and hurt. I knew Rose cared about Dimitri, I would never agree to kill him. How could she, when she knew I loved Christian?
Lauren kept on with the story, and it was like she read my mind. "Turned out, Rose agreed to the first option, so she could get to Kaitlyn. And kill her." Relief washed through me. Rose never wanted Christian dead.
"She helped me take Christian to Kaitlyn's hotel. Kaitlyn locked them in a room, where Rose would supposedly kill Christian. But when Kaitlyn left to get backup, I told Rose I would help her. The plan was that she would pretend to kill Christian, and then attack Kaitlyn when she wasn't looking. Kaitlyn came back, and went into the room after I told her Rose would kill Christian. Rose staked him, without killing him. Kaitlyn seemed satisfied, so she told me to heal Dimitri. But she lied to us, again. She threw Dimitri into the fireplace, so no one could save him."
I squeezed my eyes shut, trying not to picture the horrible things Lauren was telling me, but the graphic pictures filled my head. Christian being stabbed by my best friend, Kaitlyn standing over him with her pale white skin and flashing red eyes, and Dimitri, my guardian, being thrown into a fireplace to burn. I shivered.
"I healed Christian right away, and found Rose fighting Kaitlyn's backup. Kaitlyn had a stake in her heart. Then, the guardians from St. Vlad's came and took care of the Strigoi, and, well, you know the rest," she finished in a hurry. Then concern took on her face. "But Kaitlyn still has her hooks in us, deep," she said.
I looked at her in confusion. "Lauren…what? Kaitlyn's dead, you said you saw a stake in her heart…" My mind was jumbled. Then I remembered what Adrian told me…He saw Lauren talking to Kaitlyn. Was she?
"That's the thing," Lauren said in a faint Irish accent. Her blue eyes were wide with fear. "Kaitlyn's still alive. And she's watching us."

I sat in my seat impatiently, waiting for Lissa to come back from healing that little bitch. What the hell was taking so long? It doesn't take…I looked at my watch…twenty minutes to heal a punched face! I huffed in my seat and saw Adrian eyeing me from his chair.
"What?" I snapped. Christian snorted. I saw him slip some money under the table to Eddie. What the hell?
"What is that, Christian?" I asked, still way pissed. Eddie and Christian both froze.
"Nothing…"
"What is it?" I demanded. I jumped up from my chair and started to grab Christian by the back of his neck.
"Hey! Okay, no need to be violent!" he yelled. Adrian dragged me back to my seat while Eddie laughed. I narrowed my eyes and turned to Christian expectantly.
"It's just a little…gambling money," he said and shrugged, trying to put it off. I clenched my fists.
"Gambling money. Might I ask what you were gambling?" I tried to sound calm. Adrian was watching me closely, ready to pounce if I moved a muscle.
Christian raised his eyebrows. "Oh, we don't really need to-"
"We were betting whether or not you would punch the red-head," Eddie blurted happily. Christian smacked his forehead.
"EDDIE. Really? You don't tell her that! Do you want to die, for god's sake?" he yelled. Eddie laughed.
"Nah, man. But you lost BAD!"
Chrissie and Eddie's bickering was interrupted by Lissa. She came over and sat down with us. "Finally," I muttered. I looked at Lissa. "Did you find out what the little bitch had to say?" I asked. "And control your boyfriend! Please!" I said through my teeth. She rolled her eyes at Christian, and he got quiet.
"Rose, there's some stuff you need to know," she said. Then Lauren walked over cautiously. Her eyes never left mine, making sure it was safe to come close. Which it wasn't.
"Why are you still here?" I hissed at her. She sat across from me and folded her hands on the table. "Rose, please let me explain. There are things-important things-that you need to hear, from me. You all should hear it," she said, nodding her head to everyone at the table. I seethed in my seat.
"How do I know you're not going to just lie again? How can I trust you after what you did?" I shot at her. Lissa's head whipped around and she glared at me.
"Rose! She's telling the truth, I know she is. Just listen to her!" She held my gaze and I sighed. "Fine."
CPOV
We all listened intently to Lauren's story. I grimaced at all the parts I had witnessed…being staked by Rose (which had hurt like hell until Lauren healed me), watching her fight all of Kaitlyn's friends, having her cry on my shoulder. And there were some parts I was surprised about too, like when Rose decided to help Kaitlyn kill me. I opened my mouth to make a witty remark about it, but saw that Rose looked pained, so I stayed quiet. Damn. She really was like a sister to me. It was pretty awkward when she mentioned me and Rose…being…in…love. Gag.
Lauren reached the end of her confession, and took us all by surprise.
"Kaitlyn's still alive? What the hell?" I said.
"I told you I saw her!" Adrian said, loudly to Lissa.
"Shut the hell up, Adrian! You're so loud!" Rose whisper/yelled. Adrian ignored her.
"That's impossible. Rose staked her. All the guardians saw her dead!" Mia said.
"I don't want to get into all the details, but long story short, it was Kaitlyn's sister that Rose killed," Lauren said.
"So you're telling me Kaitlyn is still alive and wants to kill us?" Rose said. I rolled my eyes at her. Nawwww.I thought sarcastically.
Lauren nodded solemnly. "And she's watching us, with help. She's waiting to make her next move. And this time, I'm not sure what it is."
Does anyone read these?
Whatever…so…um…I think that I'm done with this story…
It really didn't turn out as I wanted it to when I started it.
I honestly don't like this story and I'm confusing myself with it..
So this is the end.
No one actually cares do they?
Alright well…thanks for reading this…sorry im a bad writer!
Maybe if I feel like it I'll continue…but I doubt it.
So for now….THE END
