A.N.: This chapter is dedicated to two people. (1) kittysaymeow for being the first to review after my update and (2) Molz for being the first to review to my last chapter. I would also like to give a special thanks to cheifhow, heatherika, kittsaymeow, Molz, and WannaBArtist for reviewing to both chapters so far.

Reviewers:

kittysawmeow: I know there are some problems with my story here, but I'm trying to do this with no help and no one to base my story on. It's very difficult. Didn't see your review as a flame, it was more of constructive criticism…

Molz: Thanks so much for the compliments and understanding why this is taking me so long.

kittysawmeow: Thanks so much for the review.

chiefhow: Yeah, but I hate getting writers block. And yes, I did take the person down who was stealing my ideas. Lol.

WannaBArtist: I hate it when that happens. My friend practically stole my book. It looks like you'll have to find another copy of the book though.

Living2Love: Thanks so much and I love Mark too. He just sounds so awesome and sexy. Lol.

heatherika: That was funny. I've never actually heard that saying before. I'll have to remember it for later.

rowensage: Actually, it was never really announced if her mom went back to London or not. But to please you and stop any further questions, she is there on vacation and will be leaving soon. Thanks for pointing that out.

Jilly: Thanks so much. And Adrian will always be in character. Lol. Stupid prick.

Starlight Gundam: Now that is ironic isn't it? Thanks for the review.

Everything and Anything

We Have Problems

"You-You're what?" It was actually quite funny to see Adrian not have the answer to everything.

Sarah was a little more composed, but not much, "When did this happen?"

I looked at Mark while thinking back, "Er, last August if I'm not mistaken."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Now I felt guilty. She was my friend and I practically cut her off from my life. "Sorry, I guess I just forgot about everything in London when I moved in here."

Mark pulled my in front of him and put his arms around me. He kissed the top of my head before he said, "Rosie, we should get to bed. We have to do that thing tomorrow."

I knew what he meant. I wasn't about to let Adrian and Sarah know though. "Of course. Come on you two, I'll show you to your rooms. Do you have you stuff?"

They both nodded dumbly as I led them through the house. They asked questions occasionally on the way up so I answered them to the best of my knowledge. I didn't know all the answers, so I told them to ask Mark the next day. He knew more about this house than I did.

"Who is this?" Adrian pointed to the picture of Mark's grandfather.

"That's Mark's grandfather. He died last August."

We finally got to the rooms. Adrian was staying in the room right next to Sarah and they both happened to be down the hall from the room that Mark and I share.

"If you need me, I'm just down the hall and there are people walking through the halls all the time so that shouldn't be a problem. If you can't find your way down to the kitchen in the morning just yell and someone will find you. Please don't go into any of the libraries or anywhere blocked off. If you do, you will be banished from the property. Everyone knows that that's unforgivable here. Only mark and I can step into the private areas."

"Why?" I guess it was interesting.

"Because we're the Guardians."

They were about to ask what a Guardian was, but I stopped them before they asked, "Now, if you'll excuse me. I have to go get my beauty sleep."

I walked away and into my bedroom before they could come to their senses. I looked round the room to see where Mark might have gone to, but I didn't see him anywhere. Instead of looking for him, I opted to just get in my pajamas and get some sleep. He would turn up eventually.

A while later, I felt Mark lie down next to me and pull me to him. I turned around to face him and I asked, "What took you so long?"

"We have a problem." He didn't look too happy about that at that particular moment.

"I know. I can feel it. Something isn't right." I had felt it for the last few days. We could both tell that there was something extremely wrong with the equilibrium around this area.

"I think we should go to the Benison tomorrow and check it out." We both didn't like going down there, but it was necessary.

"That's exactly what I was thinking."

A.N.: Okay, so how was it? I would make it longer, but I have nothing else to add and no ideas and suggestions to go by. But here's something to think about: what will Adrian and Sarah do all day being alone in Claire's house? Just a thought…
