"Uh, hey mom." Xavier's voice finally answered, "We found Sophia."

"Great." I let out a breath of relief knowing that she wasn't in danger, "Take her to Olena's and I'll meet you there in a day or two."

"That's the probablem, she's not here anymore." His tone was hushed, which made me worry. Xavier wasn't the one to call for small reasons if there was something wrong he would want to fix it by himself, unless it was out of his reach.

"What do you mean."

"She ran off and we followed. But it was too late. They took her" he answered, making my worst nightmare a reality. Those three words spun in my head, as if it was a broken record. They took her.

ROSEMARIE HATHAWAY P.O.V.

"Who took her?!" I yelled at Xavier. He wasn't being very detailed, something I didn't like since it gave me very little insight on what was happening.

"...we don't know. Our best guess is that it was vampire hunter's." He whispered from the other side of the line.

"And Alexzander? Is he alright? Where are you boys? I'm going over, call Abe as soon as I hang-up and tell him what happened and to bring some of his guardians." I ordered, already thinking of ways to get more guardians to help. If it was true that the hunters took her it will be one hell of a fight.

"Yeah Zander is fine, he's treating Kayla's wounds -it's a long story, so don't ask. We're in Sin City

Vegas right now, suite 576 fifth floor in the hotel New York New York. And Zander is actually talking to the hairy tooth fairy right now." He informed me. I had to roll my eyes at the nickname they gave Abe a long time ago when Sophia lost her first tooth, it stuck but they didn't dare say it in front of Abe's face though...well at least the boys didn't, Sophie...she did what ever she pleased.

"Alright, I'm catching the next plane out there. And for the love of what's dear to you Xavier, do not move!" I begged as I hanged up. Raising up my eyes to Lissa's, I felt a shot of curiosity from the bond. "Liss, I know I don't have a right to ask but how many guardian's are there available to be in Las Vegas in the next 24 hours?"

"The sixty that were searching for you, are supposed to arrive to day. So sixty." She answered almost Immediately. "Rose, what's going on?"

"...someone really important to me is in danger." I finally answered after a few moments of silence. I whish I could be able to tell Lissa who Sophia really is, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

"Who is it?" She asked, worry laced in her voice.

Being a good queen I knew Lissa wasn't going to put her people in harms way as long as she could. And I would need a good reason why to have her do this huge favor for me. The tricky part was giving her enough information for her to help me, but not enough that puts Sophia in any immeadiatly danger.

I wouldn't want to know what the court would do if they found out Sophie's ... Heritage. It was luck already when she wasn't discovered in her failed assignment here at court or when she was held in prison. The minutes seemed to past by painfully slow whenever she is even any where near a court official.

"Lissa...I know your not going to like this, but it's highly important that it's done on a need-to-know basis." I explained, after waiting a few agonizing seconds for her to make up her mind, she finally nodded slowely and I continued. "Let's just say if this person isn't retrieved, then the whole world might as well be done for already."

I had to be careful on choosing my words. I had to keep the conversation in a gray areas where I don't make up a lie, but yet not tell the whole truth. If I just go ahead and tell her that vampire hunter's caputred my daughter, making them an easy target for the Strigori to capture her, she would be curious why the undead creatures of the night would want my daughter, hell who wouldn't? I would as sure be!

But then I would have to explain to her that Dimirti was her father, which would rise to the question of how it was even possible. And that would be the fire that would ignite the bomb. Lissa is smart. She already had a slightest suspicion of me being pregnant when I was still at court. In fact she was the one who made me realize I was! Not directly though, but through the bond I felt her suspicion, even though it was as small as a hair pin in a football field. She would come to the conclusion that Sophia wasn't human, moroi, nor damphir. She was a new race of damphir crossed with Strigori, who had brought back Adrian to his cocky self. Something that was previously known that only a moroi spirit user could do. She was something unknown, and people feared the unknown. That's why some children are afraid when there is no light. It isn't the dark they fear, it is what is in the dark that they can't see.

"Why? What would happen if this person isn't rescued?" She questioned, obviously courisus about this subject.

"Let's just hope it doesn't come to that." I winced.

Suddenly the door shot opened and a certain cheeky, semi-obnoxious fire-user strolled in. "Hey Liss, guess what just came through- Holy Crap it's Rose!"'

His expression was EXTREMLY amusing. And if it wernt for the current situation I would've teased him about it, but I had also matured and should'nt be making jokes like that ... on the other hand though I'm still me.

"Holy Crap it's Rose!" I mimicked him, making a sour face and raising my voice to a squeaky high pitched sound. "If I wouldn't know better I would think you just saw Santa Clause giving the Easter bunny a blow-job."

He stood silent for several seconds. Not giving anything away. Lissa seemed to know something i didnt because she moved closer to him after closing the door. She rubbed his arm and led him to a chair.

Confused i threw a questioning look at her. What they hell is going on? He was fine right now. What is even more unusaul was that he didnt make any effort to deffend himself with a comeback - something that he always did.

"It's okay. He just went in shock." Lissa informed me, handed Christian a coffee mug that was on her desk.

Shock? What the hell hapened to the cocky obnoxios Christian who loved to push my buttons?

"Oh." Was my response, eyeing his warily afraid he'll start doing something drastic all of a sudden. "Well Liss, i'm sorry but i need to go." i apologized, handing her one of Sophia's pranks that turned out to be useful - a buisness card that said:

HAVE A PROBLEM? THEN IT IS NO PROBLEM! CALL THE FIXER NOW! (TERMS AND CONDITIONS VARY. INJURIES AND/OR ANY OTHER 'ACCIEDENTS' ARE NOT COVERED.)

CALL NOW!

(909) 636-8907 U.S

1029484-399082-345 INTERNATIONAL.

Lissa looked at the card, and her eyebrows shot up. "Rose...please dont tell me..." She trailed off.

"Just ignore the top part. It was part of a prank. Just call the top number when the troops are ready." instructed her picking up the straps that i left on the ground next to her window. As she continued to stare at the card, i finished putting on the harnest and opened the window. i let out a long whistle, and immeaditily a rope was dropped down.

inspecting that no one was looking i stepped out the 5th story window, and clipped my harnest to the end of the rope. Lissa had notice that i had stepped out onto the ledge, she looked at me with her wide jade green eyes and was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.

Shaking my head i waved 'bye' to both her and the still frozen Christian, and stepped offf the ledge, dropping down at fast rate towards the ground. i let out a gasp of relief when the harnest did it's job and stopped me from crashing and breaking several bones. Unstrapping, i fell a few feet and calmly walked down the street, keeping my head down, to where a car waited for me. getting into the drivers seat, i sped away out of court before anyone got suspicious. Thankfully the court hasnt changee their ways of only checking cars that went into the court, but not the ones that left.

All i need to do now was go to a private airport and fly down to Las Vegas, gather the gaurdians, stake out the building Sopphia was in and rescue her. As simple as that. Or at least i hope...

Sophia's p.o.v

I bit the inside of my mouth to keep from screaming out in pain. I would not let them have the satifactionn of letting them know it hurt so badly. But a small whimper escaped my lips as the man carved further into my skin, but witth much more force this time.

I was laying down on a hard metal table face down, with no way to escape. Metal chains dripped in Ilimkine holding me down. The 'doctor' had appearently been looking for some sort of nerve in my neck for quiet some time now. He provide no anestisia or even a over the counter pain killer. Instead he just ordered the jerk-face - a.k.a the guy who brought me here from my cell- to strap me down and started immeadiatky on my raw skin. And from what i felt, the sharp utensils he used were dripped in the same substance as the chains, because they burned me even though he wasnt cutting.

I tried to distracct myself with planning his slow painfull death, but the son-of-a bitch cut me even deeper when ever i was beinging to. I hope my brother's found out about my kidnapping already and told mom. Because i gave up trying to escape from these chains an hour after they brought me in. With ever struggle i made, they seemed to tighten more.

"You feel that huh?" The 'doctor' said, as i both felt and heard him scraping my bone with one of his shiny tools. He then followed to slice open my foot. "Hm, you have quite an immune system! Wonderful! You should've lost feelings in the bottom half several minutes ago."

"You are going to pay for this." I weakly threatned, trying not to have my voice weaver.

"Maybe. But it will all be worth it in the end. You are one of a kind my deary." He laughed, as if i just told the funniest joke in the world. "Some have tried to replicate you, but none have susceeded...yet."

I always wondered why I was always moved from place to place growing up. Abe and mom never let anyone get to know me long enough. I was never enrolled in school, and always kept out of site when ever guest where over. If i was seen and asked about, they would just shrug it off, passing me off as one of the maids children.

Mom always came up to my room later and apologized, saying that it was for my own good. That she hated doing that, but it was to keep me safe. Some times i thought that they were just ashamed of me, but now i found out the truth why i grew up knowing to hide my identity at all cost, to not tell anyone about my abilites, and if they just presumed that i was human, damphir, or Moroi to just let them and not say a word.

It was becuase if word was leaked out that there was a child made from a Striogori and a dampir, with the strength, agility, speed, and thirst of a Striogori, but with enough human like complexions to pass as one, i would become a target.

Many would try to replicate me for their own advantages. Imagine what an army of Striogori that was not harmed by the sun, and could enter holy grounds could do? And add that the soldiers could heal rapidly. Surely the world would be taken over in a matter of days.

"Doc, the boss wants her in the conference room." A voice came from the door way. "He said to bring her quick'"

"Alright give me a minute. Would'nt want her to bleed out now would we?" The 'doctor. chuckled.

I felt several needles going through my skin, and after a while i guess he was done because he unchained me. "Now, dont try anything foolish because-"

I didnt let him finish, and instead rush at him in top speed i had him tapped on the wall when the world started spinning around of me. Uh-oh not good.

"Because you might feel faint, from all the blood you lost." He continued after I released him.

"You bastard." i barley managed to get out as i felt arms pull me out the door and led me through the hallway.

After a while we stopped, infront of a door. And when the door opened i relt a rush of deja-vu. There was a long conference table with many 'people' seating around. This was too similar to the time i was helped by my mom,s friends a few weeks back. But there was a big difference form then and now. Back then the people were trying to help me. Now, instead these hunter's are trying to kill me.

"Sit here down there." A man at the end of the table instructed and i soon felt myself being strapped yet again. But thank-fully this time, at least the chair was confertable.

Once i was strapped in, the man continued. "This my fellow brother's and sister's, is the most demonic creature of all. It's would've ben sent back to the inferno where it belongs already, if it wasnt that an oportunity arose. The red eyed ones want it. They would give up anything to get it. So we took a chance and proposed a deal. Why not shoot down three birds -or demons- in this case with the same stone.

"With no doubt it's makers would want to retrive it, and when the red-eyed ones come they can have their way with them. And the end they will kill each other and we only have this thing to dispose of." He pointed a long crooked finger at me.

Demon? Who the hell was he calling a demon? You dont see me kidnapping sixteen year old girls and turtouring them. i menatlly checked the mother f-er in my head as another one of these bastards who i will take my sweet time killing.

"Hate to break it to you, but my 'makers' arent going to come for me." I spat at him, "My mother and grandfather will as sure hell though. But the sperm donar? Yeah he's a Strigori so, please go ahead and kill him. See if i care."

I spoke the truth, i wouldnt care if my 'father' was killed. I never met him, but if i did i would kill him and put him out of his misery. If my heritage taked over, i would want someone to do that to me. I cant bare the thought of killing innocents, i've done it before when i had slipped, and it was not something i was proud of. The thing that disgust me the most is that a part of me doesnt regret it, a part of me wants more. And if that part of me takes over again... I sure hope it doesnt.

"A Strigori? Heavens no, he's a royal court gaurdian once again. One of the demon queen's most trusted in fact." The man laughed, "It's disgusting how they just accepted him back so easily and did not make him pay for all the lives he took. And all becausue he is once agian one of them."

I sat shock, absorbing all he said. I tried to deny that my 'father' was changed back. But i knew it was sure as hell possible. I myself, had turned someone back, so i knew it was possible. Did mom and Abe know? If they did why didnt they tell me?
