"Hey, Hathaway you coming tonight?" Mason asked thronging his arm around my shoulder. Looking at him I saw that he has his red hair come back and he was giving me a sweet smile that made his whole face light up.

"Sorry no. Alberta and I'm going away this weekend" I answered giving him a smile

"Ah that is too bad," Jess moaned walking past us. I shook my head and to him to dream on. Mason and I made out way out of the school, but before we could make it out a scream made us stop. Turning we saw a girl running down the hall, she was begging for help but no-one moved to help her. We all knew what was happening, she was going to get claimed and there was nothing we could do. But the fear in her eyes made me remember Lissa and how she was claimed a few years ago. I moved to help her but Mason pulled me back as a figure came down the hall after her. In the blink of an eye, he had her and was biting her neck. Mason pulled me out of the building, telling me to calm down.

"Come on Rose. You know that you can't do anything," Mason told me looking worried

"I know. She just made me remember Lissa." I told him sadly. Mason gave me a hug and told me that everything would be fine.

You see about 50 years ago the vampires came out of the dark and took over our world. They claimed that they were the only ones that could save the planet and us. So in the blink of an eye, we lost everything. After the take over the vampires began to claim girls as there mates. The Belikov coven that ruled over the vampires and now the world said that it was the vampires right to have their mates even if the girls didn't want to be mated to the bloodsuckers. When a vampire find their mate they will do anything to get to their mate. If a girl is married or has a boyfriend the boyfriend or husband will be killed, vampires are extremely possessive and easily jealous of their mates. They also tend to kill the girl's children if they have any that are born before they are claimed. I was lucky that I was by my nana when my mom got claimed when I was just a year old, so I wasn't killed but I never knew my mom. That was one of the reasons why I hate vamps. The second reason is that a few years ago Lissa my best friend was claimed and taken away. She was claimed by one of the Princes of the vampire world. We haven't seen her since, vampires are normally possessive and dominating, but the Royals are so much more possessive and dominating it makes the normal vampires possessiveness and dominating look like nothing.

Pulling up the driveway I saw that Alberta was home, Alberta isn't my mom but she raised me along with my grandparents when my mom got taken. Getting out of the car I looked up at our home. It wasn't as big as the one I grew up in but it was home and I loved it. I grew up in a house in a few cities over, in Missoula. We moved away when my grandparents died. There were also more vampires in that city, so the chance to be claimed in much more. Here in Portland, there isn't so many because of the size of the city.

Alberta opened the door and walked out of the house with her bag. We're planning on going to our old house in Missoula Montana. It was time for our yearly visit to my grandparents grave. Lissa went with us one time and it resulted in her being claimed so now we don't take anyone with us anymore.

"Hey I'll be right down," I yelled running into the house. I made my way up the stairs and into my room. I grabbed my bag and made my way down and to Alberta's car. She took my back as I got in. She got in and we began our drive

We got to the house just as the sun was setting. We unpacked our bags and made our way inside. The house was dark and quiet. We switched the lights on as we went in. I looked at all of the photos on the walls as I made my way to my old room. They were of me, my mom and grandparents. There were a few of my mom and Alberta when they were younger. But most of the photos were of me with my grandparents. Smiling I went into my room. It was still the same as I remember it to me. The walls were painted a light red with dark carpets. Moving into the room I placed my bag down and started unpacking. We were going to stay for the week and visit some old family. I took a warm shower and laid down on my bed. I closed my eyes and something happened which hasn't happened in a long time, I slipped into Lissa's head

"Please, can we go?" Lissa begged to hug her mate, Christian. He looked at her with his ice blue eyes.

"No I don't want you near any of the human men," he stated with a growl. Lissa pouted and made her jade green eyes water while she asked again. Christian growled and said yes. Lissa squealed and kissed him. Someone came into the room, I felt a strange pull to the person but before I could see who it was, I got pushed out of Lissa's head

I sat up in bed and rubbed my eyes. I really did miss Lissa and this wasn't helping. Laying down again I looked at the ceiling and closed my eyes. This time sleep overtook me.
