"Any luck with you two?" I asked, taking another sip from my True blood. We had hurried over to the nearest late night café, that sold True Blood to discuss what we all had found out. Can't be attacking humans at this point, although if there's gonna be a fight I'll have to, try to regain my strength, but right now I just wanted to be with James and Godric.

"My guy knew very little, he was obviously just Rose's sex toy. He did say that Rose had been contacted by someone and she was going over to her number one's house. I found out the exact location, but I have no idea who this number one is, I had no idea Rose had ranked her humans so much. These guys were obviously her sex humans, while the one before had been her innocent human, the one she enjoyed converting into a dirty minded sinister little thing." James said, his teeth locked together as he said her name, I was worried his fangs might pop out at any second and scare the humans around us. Although we were in a sheltered corner, people could see us and we were obviously being watched since we were the only vampires in the building.

"Antonio knew very little either, although he did mention the fact that the person who had contacted Rose had sounded like they were at a party and Rose had picked up the phone immediately and she knew the person well. He hadn't been able to listen to the other person voice, but Rose mentioned all three of our names and she apparently looked ecstatic by what was being said and began packing immediately after."

"Great, so I guess our last lead is this number one person, shit, I feel like were lost in a maze trying to trace this thing, following an invisible string."

"Lets just hope the minotaur doesn't find us and cause problems" Godric mumbled, joining in with my ancient greek reference, was he around at that time?

"Do you guys notice the vial things around their necks?" Both James and Godric nodded, starring down at their drinks, not really listening, I could practically see the cogs in their minds turning. "They were filled with Rose's blood, her way of marking the three, incase she wanted to turn them. The Lisa girl thought it was fucking romantic, I wonder if that was her idea or Rose's." I almost snarled as I spat out her name, those poor people had been treated like possessions. They may have wanted to be in contact with Vampires and have sexual relationships with them, but I could feel in Lisa's head how empty it was, obviously a lot of her actions hadn't been of her own accord and she had no idea. How much had Rose made them do? Did they have any idea? Did they have any family, what would they think? I mean for god sake Tao didn't like the idea of me being friends with a vampire, what would he have said if I'd been fucking one while still human, letting the blood sucker manipulate my mind until I had very little unique thoughts of my own. Luckily James had been a decent vampire and had never taken his friendship with a human for granted, if he had I would have known as once you're a vampire, you realize all the glamouring that has been forced upon you, thankfully my history was pretty short, Lisa's would have probably stretched across the whole of New york if it was written on paper.

"I think we should go to this number one's house as soon as possible. I want to be rid of this stupid mess. I've had enough shit in my life and I just want it to be over." I pounded my fist down the table, making the bottles jump into the air and land with a clatter, catching the attention of the bartender, who gave us a worried look, none of us paid any attention to him.

"I agree" James said, taking hold of my left hand and giving it a squeeze "on everything you said." I smiled at James and then turned to Godric who nodded and took hold of my other hand, "lets go immediately." Once again he dropped some money on the table and all three of us slid off the high stools and walked out the joint.

It was almost three o'clock in the morning, but the harsh winter meant that it wouldn't be light for quite a few more hours, so we were safe to make the journey by foot to the penthouse of Rose's number one.

I linked arms with both the boys. My boys, there to protect me when ever a problem arose. I felt safe with them, but I still longed to feel safe on my own, to know that I could fight my own battles. I knew if I wanted to feel like that I had to clear my life, get rid of all my demons, it would be the only way to find peace and live a normal life, well as normal as it can get being a vampire.

James directed us to the building, keeping his eyes sharp, looking for the right street signs. Finally he found it. A large white building, with at least twenty stories, apparently number one was on the highest one…great, more lift time, hopefully James wont have shagged Rose in this one.

"Do you think it will be anyone we know?" I said, trying to fill the silence that echoed in the shiny gold lift. James shrugged his shoulders, "I have no idea, I never met this one, I thought the three back there were the special ones, but I guess Rose wanted to keep this one hidden, just incase."

"Just incase what?"

"I turned on her and used the human as a weapon against her."

"Wow she can see into the future." James chuckled and ruffled my hair like I was a little kid, "I don't think she saw the part where you turned into a vampire and staked her in the heart, then she would have run from America and never turned back."

"Yeah I think that was one of the best experiences ever, killing that bitch and watching her suffer." Godric coughed slightly, raising his eye brows, I knew what he was thinking of, "I said one of the best, not the best." I gave him a kiss on the cheek to show him I wasn't joking. "Yeah her best experience was meeting me of course" James said proudly, "It's in my top ten" I giggled. His eyes went wide, placing a hand on his heart and he pretended to reel back, "only the top ten, I am hurt Sophie, truly I am."

"This is our floor." Godric said calmly, ending our fun.

We walked out together, each of us preparing ourselves for who was behind the door of number 666, how appropriate and painted a dashing shade of blood red, Rose's signature color no doubt, another way of marking what was hers.

James went first this time, knocking on the door loudly. I could hear footsteps inside, heavy footsteps and the sound of mumbling, it sounded familiar.

I braced myself and watched as the door slid open, hiding myself slightly behind Godric, peeking over his shoulder, making sure the human didn't see my face.

I locked eyes on them and my body ran cold. No, it wasn't true…
