I don't own VA or TMR

Chapter 6- Rose Meets Her Mom?!

When I woke up, I had a pounding a headache and sore beaten body. There was a muscular arm wrapped around my waist. As I shifted it tensed and pulled me closer to the body it was attached to. Heat flooded my back and I rolled to face the bare chest of none other than Dimitri.

I snuggled closer to him causing him to wake up and look at me.

"Morning" I said quietly.

"Don't you dare scare me like that again; I don't wanna have to try to explain why you keep passing out when I don't even know myself. Roza, I swear if you do it again I will wake you up in a not so pleasant way." He said looking totally serious.

"What did Minho say to you after our race?" I asked innocently enough to make him chuckle at my attempt.

"He said that you're defiantly built for running and defending yourself. The way you beat me well, he wants you."

I was about to respond when I was sucked into a trance again.

"Lissa, how is our subject doing?" a voice asked from the side. I was looking at the screen where a clear video of my attack was on display.

"Well, one of the guys got stung and has attacked her. It was horrific."

"Now is not the time for feeling sorry for the Dhampir. Now is time to be gathering data and inputting it into our data base to compare it to the other subjects. The Dhampirs have been highly successful in this experiment. I wish that we could have had more Dhampirs for this but only a handful were okay with being in it. Miss. Rosemarie Hathaway being one the Castile boy and the Ashford boy another, so no sympathy is needed here."

"Yes ma'am." Lissa nods and goes back to watching the screen.

Mason is alive?! The strigoi killed him. I watched as it happened and I had killed the two strigoi myself with a dull sword. I remembered that much.

Before I saw anything else I am yanked back into my own head by the feel of someone's lips against mine. As I kiss back the guy kissing me I feel his arm snake around my waist and bring me closer to him.

Just as he is about to deepen the kiss, I pull away.

"I need to run." I looked at him and didn't see Dimirti. I saw to my shock it was Gally. Why can't anything go right around here? "I need to run right now, clear my head."

I ran out the door and took off around the glade. After about the twelfth lap, I finally slowed to a stop behind the woods and climbed a tree. Thirty minutes later I heard someone crashing through the woods. I climbed down to meet them.

Just before he reached me, I saw who it was and took off again only to be torn back into Lissa's head.

There was a commotion and I couldn't see who was causing it. No my shift had just ended and I was heading to the barracks to sleep when I was unceremoniously dragged around a corner and into a dark room.

I couldn't see who it was but I could tell that they were shorter than me. Rose. That was my-her - first thought. But Rose was in the Maze. She was the only one who could solve it. Well Rose and Dimitri.

'Oh, well you're not the one in charge here are you?'

'No, I'm not' I shook my head and sighed. My back hit the wall and the light in the room came on.

'Rose?!'

'No, I am Rose's mother, Janine Hathaway.' The woman looked to be the same build as me only shorter. 'Do you know where my daughter is? You seem like you know about her location.'

'She is in the Maze. And there is only one way out and she will be the one to find it.' Lissa said calmly. 'and no-one is to interfere with the work of art we have created. Especially if it is the parents to the subjects in the Mazes.'

So there is more than one maze and Rose has seen her mother through Lissa's eyes. Will she meet her father the Mob Boss, Ibriam Mauzer? Stay tuned to find out.
